    Notes:

    There is some confusion as to a 2nd marriage for Lucy. The Puffer Genealogy book doesn't show a marriage to Otis Stearns. It shows that she did marry a Coggswell with no children (Page 60).  No other marriages are shown for her.

    Another Lucy Wilder born 6 Feb 1792, to Joel and Lucy Wilder makes it all the more confusing.

    The case for her marriage to Otis Strearns isn't great.  And with another Lucy in the area with the same date minus the year, it is probably not this Lucy that married Otis Stearns.  Plus Lucy Wilder and Otis Stearns have a son named Joel Wilder Stearns, so that, to me, is pretty compelling it's this Lucy who is the wife of Otis Stearns.

    Family/Spouse: COGGSWELL, Charles. Charles was born in 1791 in MA; died on 11 Jun 1838 in MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
