Biography

Martha's exact birth date is speculative. Martha was born about 1644 in Salem Mass. Martha Coit ... She passed away in 1730.

Her parents John and Mary Jenners Coit first arrived in Salem from Wales, possibly as early as 1630 according to some records. The family moved to Gloucester around the time of Mary's birth. They then moved on to New London CT around 1650. The oldest sibling John Coit, Jr. remained in Gloucester to continue the family shipyard there.

She first married in 1662 Hugh Mould, who was involved in shipbuilding with her father and brothers. They had four children…Susannah, Mary, Christian and Jane. After Mould's death, in 1693 she married Captain Nathaniel White. No issue from that marriage.
