(2409) Peter Coffin owned land and forests and lumber mills and was said to be the richest of the purchasers of Nantucket. He was an opponent of the (2410) John Gardner faction in the "Insurrection." With father and two oldest brothers, he purchased Tuckernuck Island, adjacent to Nantucket. Peter left Nantucket for New Hampshire, where he lived most of his life, becoming a representative to the General Justice of the Supreme Court of that state.

Peter settled first in Exeter and then in Dover, NH, where he owned a large garrison house. It was burned down during the June Chochecho Indian Massacre. He and his family were spared but forced to help the Indians enter, pillage and destroy the garrison house of his son, Tristram. Coffin returned to Nantucket in 1676/7 where he became Asst. magistrate, when Thomas Macy refused to give up the office after his commission had expired. -- http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/5295/notes.html
