Tristram and wife Dionis came to America about 1642 and settled at Salisbury, Mass., and then Haverhill, then Newbury, then Salisbury again, and finally became one of the purchasers of Nantucket Island (deed from Thomas Mayhew 2 Jul 1659). He was Commissioner, founder of Nantucket in 1660, Chief Magistrate in 1671. See Savage's Gen. Dict.., NEHGR 2:236 and Coffin, Allen, "The Coffin Family: The Life of Tristram Coffyn of Nantucket, MA" (Nantucket: Hussey: Robinson, 1881) and see also "The FIrst Settles of New England," John Farmer (Baltimore: Genealogical Pub. Co., 1998), p. 64, and "Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire," Charles Henry Pope (Baltimore: Genealogical Pub. Co., 1965). http://www.pcez.com/~bigshoe/du/Stub/coffin.html (not verified) states: "'Tristram Coffin was the eldest son of Peter Coffin and his wife Joan Kember, and was born at Brixton, a parish near Plymouth in Devon; he was baptised on 11 March 1610. He became a churchwarden of the parish church (where his customary pew in the front of the chancel was marked on a plan made in 1638) and also a parish constable - holder of one of the offices created under the Elizabethan reforms of parochial administration. In 1630 or thereabouts he married Dionis, daughter of Robert Stevens of the same parish. Tristram may have inherited some property from his father, as he was the executor both of Peter and of his uncle John, whose will was proved in 1628. Records of Devon Quarter Sessions show that he had a legal dispute with a Thomas Maynard, also of Brixton, which in midsummer 1641 was referred for arbitration to Robert Savery and Henry Pollexfen. The subject of the dispute and the outcome of the arbitration are not known. But they may have had a bearing on Tristram's decision in 1642, shortly after the outbreak of the Civil War in England, to embark for America - taking with him his wife and 5 small children, his mother and two unmarried sisters. None of them ever returned. It is thought that they sailed in one of four ships owned by Robert Clement (the Hector, Griffin, Job Clement and Margaret Clement).' -- http://www.ecoffin.freeserve.co.uk/tristram.htm
"The above was contributed by Cyril Coffin. He omits an obvious good reason for Tristram to have emigrated in 1642 -- that the family backed the losing side in the Civil War, and that his nearest brother, John, died of wounds fighting against Oliver Cromwell's men.
"The Haverhill (formerly Pawtucket) settlement began in 1640 and a deed from the Passaconnaway Indians was obtained in 1642. Tristram Coffin was a witness to the deed, the signing of which was attended by the sachems Passaquo and Saggahew.
"In 1644 Tristram obtained a license to 'keep an ordinary, sell wine, and keep a ferry' in Newbury, where the family had moved. In 1647 he got another license to do the same. The pub, "Coffin's Ordinary," was run by his wife Dionis; at the time brewing beer was a common occupation for women. In 1653 Dionis was charged with violating a law, passed in 1645, which said that beer could not be sold for more than two pence a quart. Her case was presented and dismissed when she showed that she was putting more malt in her beer than was usual, and that the beer should be sold for a proportionately larger fee. Her pub became known as "the place where the best beer was sold." For more information about Tristram and Dionis's early life in Massachusetts, see http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/9210/COFFIN.htm."
"Nantucket: The Life of an Island," Edwin P. Hoyt (Brattleboro, VT: Stephen Green Press, 1978), pp. 12-16, offers extended discussion of Tristram's role in the life of Nantucket - he was a leader in establishing the colony there. Also see "Colonial Americans of Royal and Noble Descent," Patricia Ann Scherzinger (Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, 1996), p. 123, and "The Coffin Family," Louis Coffin (Nantucket, MA : Nantucket Historical Association, 1962.<\p>
