[35666] This person's information is from the unverified Murphy-Fitzgerald-Campbell Family Tree in Ancestry.com in 2013 which states she is daughter of John Glassey (b. ca. 1790 in Armagh, Northern Ireland),
[56330] "The Bangor Daily News [Bangor, Maine]," 12 August 2010: "Presque Isle - Margaret Hanks Coffin, 84, died Monday, Aug. 9, 2010, at Glenridge Nursing Home, Augusta. She was born May 18, 1926, in Augusta, daughter of the late Dana and Ethelle Libby Hanks. Margaret attended Cony High School, Fischer Business School and the University of Maine, Orono. She was a longtime member of Presque Isle Congregational Church and its choir - Caribou Choral Society, and Beta Sigma Phi. Born and brought up in Augusta, Margaret had a desire to be in radio at an early age. At UMO, she got involved in the Radio Guild Club, writing scripts, performing music, etc. Her love of radio brought her to Presque Isle, where they needed an announcer at WAGM. It was there she met her husband-to-be, Ted Coffin. Several years later when she worked for WRKD-Radio, Rockland, she and Ted were married. After only 10 years of marriage, Ted passed away leaving her to raise her two girls. She was the first librarian for Northern Maine Technical College, where she was head librarian from the late 1960s to 1996, when she retired. She was predeceased by her husband, R.

Find A Grave memorial 153940017offers:
Lot Whitcomb was the ninth of ten children of Branch Whitcomb and Elizabeth (Betsey) Rogers. He was born April 23, 1806, at Stockbridge, Windsor, Vermont.
In his hometown, on March 22, 1830, Lot married Irene (Irena) Chamberlain, the daughter of Ephraim Chamberlain. Lot and Irene had five children: James (who died at age 16, upon their arrival in Oregon Territory), Mary Jane, Elvira B., Olive Wilhelmina, and Queen Victoria.
Shortly after marrying, Lot and Irene left Vermont along with others of their extended families and headed west. Within a short time they established a home in newly founded Branch County, along Michigan Territory's southern border with Indiana. It was there that their only son, James, arrived, followed by their daughters, Mary, Elvira and Olive.
Lot Whitcomb was an astute businessman and a savvy land dealer. He (with James Brown) bought an 80-acre parcel in section 34 at Athens, Calhoun County, Michigan, on June 4, 1833. Moving on to adjacent Sherwood township in Branch County, Michigan, he continued buying land. On October 10, 1833, he secured 80 acres in section 3. On November 5, 1833, he bought an additional 80 acres in section 6 plus 40 acres in section 7. On September 10, 1838, he purchased 69.67 acres in section 5. His last land transaction occurred on May 1, 1839, when he bought 40 acres in section 12 in adjacent St. Joseph County, Michigan, at Leonidas township. The 1840 federal census shows the family of "L.H. Whitcomb" at Coldwater, Branch, Michigan, several miles southeast of Sherwood. There were two parents and three children under age ten, one boy and two girls. They wouldn't remain much longer at Coldwater.
The Whitcombs left Michigan around 1843, heading for Palatine township in Cook County, Illinois. They settled in the Plum Grove area near Salt Creek, alongside Lot's cousins, James Whitcomb, Benton Whitcomb, and Justus Whitcomb. Lot immediately set about buying property. On March 10, 1843, Lot (with Thomas Parstley) purchased 80 acres in section 32, plus another 80 acres (with Thomas Brown). He secured another 80 acres in section 33 on February 18, 1846, and 40 acres in section 32 on February 1, 1848. [The final land sale would have occurred after Lot and Irene took their five children to Oregon.] According to "Palatine Centennial Book: History of Palatine, Cook County, Illinois [published 1955, Palatine Chamber of Commerce], James Whitcomb had arrived from Vermont in the fall of 1837 and leased nearly a section of land (around 640 acres), knowing that others from Vermont would follow. He was right. Others came, including his brother and cousins, and settled at Plum Grove. The book says: "Being a man of wealth, Lot built a fine home which was considered one of the finest residences in the area in those days." The author mentions that a dam was built at Palatine, across Salt Creek, and that a saw mill was erected. Lot Whitcomb successfully ran the mill, which was destroyed by fire in the early 1850s after Lot no longer ran it.
Lot and Irene Whitcomb had gotten the "Oregon fever." In Spring 1847, the Whitcombs and about a dozen other families left Illinois and headed in covered wagons to Missouri. Lot was elected wagon train captain on May 15, 1847. At St. Joseph, they joined others to form a 114-wagon train that set out along the Oregon Trail. According to "Palatine Centennial Book," the Whitcombs had three wagons drawn by six yoke of cattle.
The Oregon Trail was a grueling 2,200 mile path connecting the Missouri River to Oregon. [Wikipedia; 21 Oct 2015]: "The Oregon Trail was laid by fur trappers and traders from about 1811 to 1840 and was only passable on foot or by horseback. By 1836, when the first migrant wagon train was organized in Independence, Missouri, a wagon trail had been cleared to Fort Hall, Idaho. Wagon trails were cleared further and further west, eventually reaching all the way to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. What came to be called the Oregon Trail was complete, even as improved roads, cutoffs, ferries and bridges made the trip faster and safer almost every year. From various starting points in Missouri, Iowa or Nebraska Territory, the routes converged along the lower Platte River Valley near Fort Kearny, Nebraska Territory, and led to rich farmlands west of the Rocky Mountains." A wagon-train journey from Missouri to Oregon Territory took nearly seven months in the 1840s.
Upon reaching Oregon Territory, the Whitcomb party traveled the "Barlow Road" to Oregon City. In late 1845, Sam Barlow and Philip Foster had petitioned the Provisional Legislature of Oregon to approve an ambitious project to cut a pass through the mountains of the Cascade Range to the Willamette River. The government granted approval in December of that year. Carving the road was a grueling process, performed by a crew of forty men who burned and cut their way through forests and built bridges over several rivers (including the Sandy, Zigzag, White, and Salmon). As a result of their efforts, pioneers could travel in the territory faster and with less cost than they could using previous routes. The Barlow Road opened in 1846, and tolls to help pay back the construction costs were set by the legislature. Each wagon was assessed a $5 fee (one week's wages in those days!), and each head of horse, mule, ass, or horned animal was charged ten cents. As a side note, modern U.S. Route 26 follows much of the same path; and some portions of the original Barlow Road are still intact as of 2015.
The Whitcomb party reached Oregon City in the autumn of 1847. They spent their first months living in the abandoned cabin of Andrew Fellows. Two years earlier, Fellows had built his abode along the banks of the Willamette River. He was the first white man to establish a home on the site of the future town of Milwaukie. For centuries the area had been home to the Clackamas Indians, whose numbers had been decimated by diseases carried by white settlers, to which the American Indians had no natural immunities. Soon, however, Lot and his family moved several miles down the Willamette River. At a strategic bend in the river, Lot constructed a saw mill and built a schooner. He resisted the urge to join the gold rush to California, opting instead to ship lumber and other supplies down the coast to meet the '49ers needs.
[Wikipedia; 21 Oct 2015]: "The Donation Land Claim Act of 1850, sometimes known as the Donation Land Act Claim, was a statute enacted in late 1850 by the United States Congress. It was intended to promote homestead settlements in the Oregon Territory in the Pacific Northwest (comprising the present-day states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and part of Wyoming). The law, a forerunner of the later Homestead Act, brought thousands of white settlers into the new territory, swelling the ranks of settlers tdraveling along the Oregon Trail. 7,437 land patents were issued under the law, which expired in late 1855.
In 1849, Lot, William Torrance (his son-in-law), and Joseph Kellogg platted the streets for Milwaukie on Lot's donation land claim. The three men formed a business partnership which produced a sawmill and a schooner which was used to transport lumber along the Willamette River. In April 1849, Lot's oldest daughter, Mary Jane Whitcomb, married William Torrance. In 1850, the first steamship produced in Oregon was built at Milwaukie and launched on Christmas Day. The beautiful, white, side-wheel steamer was christened the Lot Whitcomb. The festivities surrounding its inaugural voyage were marred by an explosion aboard another ship, where a cannon exploded killing the man who attempted to fire it in celebration of the launch.
Lot Whitcomb, on whose land the city of Milwaukie, Oregon, was founded, died at the age of 50 at Milwaukie on April 23, 1806. He was first buried at Milwuakie cemetery. Irene (Chamberlain) Whitcomb survived him, until her death in 1871. Their remains were disinterred from the Milwaukie Cemetery and cremated in 1909. The Oregon pioneers' remains are preserved at Wilhelm's Cemetery in Portland. In a fitting tribute, Lot Whitcomb Elementary School was named after our ancestor.
