When Jethro COFFIN was born on September 16, 1663, in Dover, Massachusetts, his father, Peter, was 32 and his mother, Abigail, was 22. He married Mary GARDNER in 1688 in Nantucket, Massachusetts. They had nine children in 19 years. He died in 1726 in Nantucket, Massachusetts, at the age of 63.
The Jethro Coffin house was built in 1686 as a wedding gift for Jethro Coffin and his bride, Mary Gardner (granddaughter of Thomas Gardner). Jethro Coffin was a grandson of Tristram Coffin, one of the island's original proprietors. It was abandoned by a later owner during the American Civil War. The Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) acquired the property in 1923,[5] and conducted a major restoration of the property, including a reconstruction of the leanto section based on photographs after it was extensively damaged by fire in the 1860s.[4] The house's chimney was struck by lightning in 1987, and the house sustained significant damage.[3] The property was carefully restored by the NHA under the guidance of John Milner Architects, Inc.[6]
The house was declared a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1968.[2][7] It is also a contributing element of the Nantucket Historic District, a National Historic Landmark District.
