  • Notes 
    • COFFIN
      This is a landed family of great antiquity and the name originated from the French adjective, chauve (bald). From the early nickname came the name Chaufin which eventually became anglicized as Coffin. From English records we find that Edward Coffin, the Jesuit, was born in Exeter in 1571 and Henry Coffyn lived in county Somerset in 1327.

      The Coffin family of Devonshire, England, originated near Falaise in Normandy, the birthplace of William the Conqueror. There, the old Chateau of Courtiton was once the home of the Norman Coffins. According to tradition, Sir Richard Coffyn, knight, accompanied Duke William to England in 1066 and founded the family seat at Portledge in the Parish of Alwington, Devon. The family has had many noted men; one of these, Sir William Coffin, Master of the Horse at the coronation of Anne Boleyn, was a prominent participator in the Field of the Cloth of Gold. It is said that he brought about a reform of mortuary fees by threatening to bury a priest who had declined to read the service over the body of a poor man in Bideford churchyard until he had received the dead man's cow in payment. As Sir William nearly carried out his threat, the ensuing disturbance resulted in the desired reform.
