The birth of Abigail Starbuck,[1][2] daughter of Edward Starbuck and Catherine Reynolds, and wife of Peter Coffin, is shown in the Nantucket records, but no birth year is given, and it isn't even clear that she was born in Nantucket.[3] Given that her husband was born in 1631 and they had their first child in 1657[4], Abigail was probably born between 1630 and 1640.Watt-266 19:15, 12 May 2016 (EDT)

The marriage date of Peter Coffin and Abigail Starbuck is shown as occurring between 1655 and 1657.[5]

Birth: 1641 Dover Strafford County New Hampshire, USA Death: unknown New Hampshire, USA

Abigail Starbuck was a daughter of Edward Starbuck and Katharine Eunice Reynolds.

Abigail married Peter Coffin I in the year of 1656 or 1657, in Dover, Norfolk, Massachusetts.

They were the parents of 10 Children.

I have edited the dates of Abigail's birth and death. Her birth year can been seen anywhere from 1635-41.

I did find a U.S. International Marriage Records, 1560-1900. That states Abigail was born in 1641, in New Hampshire. Because of this document, I decided to leave her birth year as 1641.

Her death dates too, are very vast. She gave birth to her last child, daughter Elizabeth on January 27, 1680. As I researched, trying to verify my original dates. I did read a recorded history document that stated, she passed away after the birth of her son Tristram. That proved to be incorrect as well. I can't locate where I found the original dates I posted.

I apologize for the confusion and misinformation.

If anyone has better or more information please contact me.

Peter and Abigail Starbuck Coffin were my 8th great grandparents.
