Hi Richard, Do you know if this is the father of Lindsey/Linzey Coffin? Based on the link to the page http://www.bakerancestry.org/public/pedigree/4118.htm, it is, by his first wife Hannah Wharton. I've added Lindsey as his son, but if you think it's incorrect, please disconnect them.

I compared this to Family Search. There I find Philip had two wives. Philip's first wife was Hannah Wharton - the site shows a Linzy Coffin, but no sources. Philip's second wife was Catherine Thompson. By the marriage dates, Linzy/Linzey/Lindsey should be Hannah Wharton's son.
