Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1835 edition. Excerpt: ... We subjoin an account of fires, which have occurred within the town of Nantucket. There may be some omissions, and the estimate of losses may in some instances be incorrect, but we believe that the error, if there be any, will consist in overating the property destroyed. That there should be so few losses in a town compactly built of wood, is to be attributed, perhaps equally, to the steady habits of the inhabitants, and the promptness, energy, and activity of the young men of the island. The means for extinguishing fires consist of a sufficient number of engines, good apparatus, a bountiful supply of water from the harbor, public cisterns, and private wells. Buildings destroyed by Fire. In 1736 Friends meeting house, estimated loss $400 1762 Peter Barnard's house, 400 1765 Mill, 500 1769 Several buildings on South Wharf, 11,000.

The Coffyn-Coffin Dynasty

Pages : 635

Book Description
The Coffyn/Coffin Dynasty is a genealogical recapitulation of fifteen generations born in the United States. At first, I was going to title it The Coffin Saga Continues, but R. Gardner and Louis Coffin expired. I fell in love with a wonderful culmination of people belonging to my husband's family. I added the years before the stepping on US soil. There are millions more of people out there to be added. One can enjoy reading cover to cover about so many important individuals such as presidents, a Union Station president, aviators, college owners, and patented people besides farmers, teachers, doctors, etc. It is not the norm of "born and died" information.
