52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2015 WEEK 34: THE CHILDREN OF WESLEY COBURN

I've written about Wesley(Westley) Coburn  previously, but before I move onto
the families of the Coburn wives, I wanted to list the children of Wesley and Lucy (Stowe)
Coburn here  because of the interesting connections made by the marriages of
those children:


Lovinia Coburn b. 12 Sept 1828 at Albany, Me. Married Parker V Brown, 5Jun 1851 at
Shelburne, Coos, NH.

Melvin Stow Coburn, b. 4 Jul 1831 at Albany Me. Married: (1) Elizabeth Barker sometime before 1855. (2) Sophronia Merrill 16 Mar 1895

Leander Coburn  b. 1834?  N.F.R.

Moses R. Coburn b. 24 Nov 1835 Bethel, Me.  Married Mary S Reynolds  31 Jan 1858 at
Albany, Me.

Lucy Elizabeth Coburn b. 10 Aug 1842 at Albany, Me. Married Nathaniel S. Barker 31 Jan 1858 at
Albany, Me.    


A few observations about the list of children:
- Melvin Stow Coburn and Lucy Coburn both married children of Nathaniel Barker and
Huldah Hastings. Lucy is my 2x great grandmother.

- Moses R. Coburn's wife Mary S. Reynolds was the sister of Orpha Reynolds, first wife
of my 2x great grandfather Jonathan Phelps West. 

-Mary S. Reynolds' mother was Ruhama Ames, sister of my 3x great grandmother Arvilla Ames, who was Jonathan Phelps West's mother.

Oh what a tangled web!
