Biography
Mary Elizabeth Coldwell's early life is a somewhat of a mystery. Her parents, William Coldwell and and Naomi (Noyes) Coldwell, were married in Stoughton, Massachusetts on April 24, 1755.[1] Mary was likely born in either Massachusetts or Connecticut. William died about 1756, shortly after Mary's birth.[2] Naomi's circumstances are unknown, but she appears to have died by 1761. Mary's grandfather William Coldwell emigrated from Connecticut to Horton Township, Kings, Nova Scotia as part of the 1760-61 New England Planter migration,[3][4] and it appears that he brought his granddaughter with him. The Coldwells settled in Horton's Gaspereau valley. Mary married fellow New England Planter Frederick Huntley in Kings County in 1772. The Huntley family raised several children in Nova Scotia, then moved to Washington County, Maine at some point in the 1780s. By the 1790 census, Frederick was head of a household east of Machias.[5] The precise date and circumstances of Mary's death are unknown.
