  • Notes 

    • Origin of Matthew and Richard Coy, in 1638 of Boston, Massachusetts.

      The will of Richard Coy, dated 22 December 1637, was proved at Stamford, Lincolnshire, 10 April 1638. It gives neither places nor names of wife or children; the testator, being sick, willed to his children five pounds apiece, providing that such legacies must be paid immediately to them if his wife should take another spouse. Witnesses were John Lenten, Adam Townsend and John Snart
      (Linc. Consist. Ct. Wills, 1638-1640, no. 43).

      It seems that the aforesaid testator was father of Matthew and Richard Coy, aged 15 and 13 years respectively, who came, supposedly with their sister, Lucy, to New England in 1638 (see "Pope's Pioneers", subjects Coy and Lake) for:

      1. The testator, Richard Coy, would probably have had a son named for him; too, the family of John Coy, later of Beverly, Massachusetts, included sons Richard and Matthew (see "Beverly Vital Records").

      2. The death early in 1638 of the above Richard Coy coincides with the removal to New England in 1638 of the three Coy youngsters. It would seem that the elder Richard Coy's widow was Lucy Anna, who took in the same year a second husband, Edward Bulkeley ("Bulkeley Genealogy" by Jacobus, p. 112; Pope's Pioneers, quoting the will of John Lake, a native of Lincolnshire 1618-1677, wherein he named his wife Lucy and his brother-in-law Matthew Coy. Cf. The American Genealogist, 1945, p. 78).

      3. Matthew Coy above is said by Pope to have come to New England in 1638 to be servant to Mr. Atherton Haugh, a native of Lincolnshire, who was uncle by marriage to Edward Bulkeley, above; Jacobus op. cit. pp. 17, 111.
