Benjamin Coe, the youngest son of ROBERT & MARY COE, was brought to America on the good ship, "Francis" in 1634 at five years of age.

The first record of Benjamin as an adult is in a land grant at Hempstead, Long Island, New York. In 1656 he joined his father in the founding of Jamaica in Long Island where he resided for the remainder of his life.

He was granted a home lot in Jamaica on February 18, 1655/6 and served as town clerk in 1676, which indicates that he was an educated man. In 1683 he was taxed for seven cows, one horse and 27 acres of land, a total of 85 pounds.

Benjamin Coe was a farmer & a miller. Town records on September 21, 1671 show that he was given land if he would build a dam for a mill and in 1684/5 the town granted liberty to Benjamin Coe and John Hanson to set up a corn mill and a fulling mill on Foster's River.

Benjamin Coe married Abigail Carman, daughter of John & Florence Carman, early settlers of Hempstead, L. I. On March 7, 1686/7, George Woolsey, Sr. & his wife and Benjamin Coe and his wife, Abigail, all of Jamaica conveyed to John Moutfort five acres of land in Jamaica. He also disposed of various tracts of land in 1689 & 1692.

The last record of Benjamin Coe appears on a "ministerial subscription list" in Jamaica dated January 1, 1693/4. There is no record of his death, no will or records of probate left.∼IMMIGRANT, 1634

ONE OF THE EARLIEST SETTLERS OF LONG ISLAND

TOWN CLERK OF JAMAICA, NY, 1676

Benjamin was baptized 18 Oct 1628.

"COE, BENJAMIN, s. of Robert, b. in Eng. came with his f. to Watertown, thence to Stamford, and after with him to Hempstead, L. I. where he was among the earliest sett. m. Abigail Carman, and was at Jamaica 1660, where are still descend." --James Savage

Benjamin and his parents went in 1634 to New England, and who later on were Hempstead and Newtown (Long Island) and where Benjamin and wife Abigail Carman Coe were of the early settlers.

Benjamin Coe, (1628-1696) Second Great Grandfather of William Critchlow's Mother. Benjamin Coe, Robert Coe's youngest son, was born at Boxford, Suffolk County, England. His date of birth does not appear, but he was baptized October 18, 1628, so it must have been some time during the year 1628. In 1634, when he was five years of age, he was brought to New England with his father and stepmother, and in 1658, he helped his father and others found the town of Jamaica, Long Island. Some time before 1660, he married Abigail Carmen, daughter of John and Florence Carmen .3

Very little appears of record about Benjamin Coe, and nothing appears about his daughters, if he had any, but he had four sons who have been identified. These were Benjamin Coe, born about 1660, Joseph Coe, born about 1665, John Coe, born about 1670, and William Coe, born about 1675. He died about 1694; his widow, Abigail Carmen apparently thereafter married Daniel Whitehead.

Not very much is known about the four sons of Benjamin Coe. One of them, named Benjamin after his father, was married twice; the name of his first wife, whom he married about 1684, does not appear, but by his first wife he had a son Daniel Coe, born about 1685, and a son John Coe, born about 1687 and died about 1722. About 1700, Benjamin married Mary Everett, and they had a son Benjamin Coe, born April 4, 1702, a daughter Elizabeth Coe, and also a daughter Patience Coe, born about 1707, died January 7, 1785, and married about 1726 to Benjamin Pierson.

3 John Carmen was one of the original patentees of Stamford, Connecti­ut in 1641. He emigrated to New England, and there in 1631 he married Florence Fordham, who had emigrated to America with her parents' family on the ship Lyon and had settled in Lynn, Massachusetts and then in Weathersfield and Wallingford, Connecticut before settling in Stamford. John Carmen was one of the residents of Stamford who formed a committee to negotiate the purchase of land on Long Island from the Indians on which the town of Hemstead, Long Island was then established.
