Abigail Coe - Whitehead

7/28/2021 ~ I have attached three (3) additional sources and pictures of them for her second husband Major Daniel Whitehead.

Abigail2 Carman was the only known daughter of John and Florence (Fordham) Carman, and their second eldest child. Born 5 July 1635 at Roxbury, Norfolk, Massachusetts, she died in 1704 in Hempstead, Queens, New York. She married in 1659 at Hempstead, Benjamin Coe, born 1628 at Boxford, Suffolk, England and died in 1710.

Benjamin Coe was active on Long Island and with the Carman family, in particular his brother-in-law John Carman, Jr. This link will take you to a deed between Ben and John, dated 1669, for an area of what is now Great Neck.

"COE, BENJ'N, b. 1629, son of the first Robert, m. Abigail Carman, dau'r of John, and had children, who are the New Jersey Coes by descent. When the N. York committee called upon the friends of liberty in Newtown, L. I., in 1775, to elect a delegate to send to N. Y. City, to choose delegates to the second General Congress, we find in the noble band of 100 in Newtown, the names of Benjamin Coe, Benj'n, Jun., John, Jonathan, Robert and Samuel Coe, who proved themselves true whigs of 1775. (See Riker, p. 1??0.) The Coes of L. I. took an active and laudable stand for the country during the war of the Revolution, several of them being officers in the service."

"Brought by his parents to New England in 1634, later on were of Hempstead and Newtown, Long Island where he and Abigail were early settlers.( Newtown became Newton which became the land LaGuardia Airport was built on ). "Coe, Benjamin, son of Robert, b. 1629; 1656, interested in Jamaica; 1661, opposed the Quakers; 1663, signed Hartford petition; 1683, Patentee of Jamaica. - List of Proprietors of Hempstead in 1647", The Early History of Hempstead, L.I., by Charles B. Moore, Long Island Source Records, from the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, p.578.

"Coe had liberty from Jamaica to set up a corn and fulling mill on Foster's river, in said town, they engaging to maintain a good mill, and grind for the town for the twelfth part. At this period there was quite a Dutch settlement at Foster's meadows, probably named after John Foster, who at this date was a resident of Jamaica. Benjamin Coe m. Abigail, sister of John and Caleb Carman; he and Robert Coe, his father, were among the first English settlers in Jamaica or Rusdorpe in 1656, where they had house lots granted on the little plains in that year." - The Bergen Family
