  [[Category:Descendants of Tristram Coffin-221]] [[Category: Nantucket Founders and Descendants]] ==Biography=={{Nantucket Founders and Descendants Sticker|descendant|Tristram Coffin Sr}}Joseph was born 4 Feb 1679 in Nantucket, Massachusetts. He was the son of the [[Coffin-157|Honorable James Coffin]] and [[Severance-3|Mary Severance]].Vital records of Nantucket, Massachusetts to the year 1850, Vol 2 Pg 265. Joseph was the eighth child born to James and Mary and he was the fourth son.{{citation needed}} === Research Notes ===Joseph's year of marriage to Bethia Macy is at present unknown. Someone (unknown source) listed it as 12 Dec 1700. The U.S. international marriage records database at ancestry, a proven unreliable source, shows it as 1704.“Joseph Coffin in the U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900.” https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=try&h=253382&dbid=7836. Accessed 17 Mar. 2019. Note: this is not a reliable source. Their first known child was born in July 1705, so likely they married circa 1704. ==Sources== See also:*Coffin, Allen, 1881.
