- Hi Ed,
I just returned from a 3-day trip to Maine where I visited the Webster Cemetery and found the graves of my 2nd and 3rd great grandfathers, Samuel K. and Stephen Coffin. Nearly 40 years ago, my dad told me where they were buried as well as everything he could remember of his family history. His grandmother was Lizzie Emma Coffin, and he lived with her for several years as a child. Can you tell me more about your book and how to locate a copy. I live in Alexandria, Virginia, but my dad was born in Freeport in 1916.
