Another record3272 for Boston marriages has the date November 1. That is, perhaps, an intention. In 1900, Elizabeth and Gardner are listed1999 as married 55 years.

Gardner's birth record886 provides his middle name.

The death certificate4911 for daughter Lucy (Coffin) Abercrombie lists the birthplace for her father Gardner Coffin as "Newberryport," MA. The informant for that information was Mrs M A Hope.

In 1850, Gardner is listed470 as a locksmith. In 1860, he is listed860 as a "whitesmith." That year, the Coffins resided next door to George and Mahala Veazie, Elizabeth's brother and his wife.

Elizabeth was baptized in Quincy, Mar 22, 1818. Elizabeth's death record (src 855 505:755): she, married, wife of Gardner S Coffin, died at age 82y 5m 3d, of exhaustion from cerebral apoplexy. Her birthdate is calculated from her age at death.
