COFFIN, Alexander (1765?-1827: Hollis)

He worked in the New York prison system: records of the names of prisoners who died or were discharged between 1821 and 1824 were published under his name. He may have been the son of the Captain Alexander Coffin (1743-1839) who was Mayor of Hudson, NY, from 1821 to 1823. (F. B. Hough, American Biographical Notes [1875]) HJ
