Those interested in Dunham's English origins are referred to The American Genealogist 71:130-133.
Info. on John Dunham included in info. on John Goodman includes the following (http://members.aol.com/calebj/goodman.html) "He [John Goodman] did not have his name changed to John Dunham as is sometimes preposerously claimed.
There is a John Dunham recorded in Leyden records and he was a district and prominent member of the Leyden congregation who emigrated to America later (between 1628-1632). For those who are interested in quality information about John Dunham, his English origins were recentely discovered and publiched in "The American Genealogist", 71:130-133. He was from Clophill and Henlow, Bedford, England and may have had ties with the Mayflower Tilley and Cooper families which were also from Henlow, Bedford."

The Coe genealogy refers to Thomas and his large family:

Thomas Coe, born in Middletown, Conn., May 18, 1727, soon after attaining his majority followed his elder
brothers, Jonathan and Ebenezer, to Torrington, Conn., whence he soon removed to Litchfield, Conn., where he
engaged in farming during the remainder of his life, and died Feb 23, 1810. His wives were members of the
Torrington Church.

He married first, about 1751, Abigail Leaming of Middletown, Conn, born Dec 4, 1726, died May 17, 1755
daughter of Jeremiah and Abigail (Turner) Leaming.

He married second, Oct 23, 1755, Lois Cowles of Torrington, Conn., who died 27 Jun 1756.

He married third, Feb 15, 1757, Mrs. Mary Godell Keyes of Pomfret, Conn., born about 1727, died Sep 10,
1812, aged eighty-five.

The Thomas Coe family is included on the 1790 federal census for Litchfield CT as 2 males over the age of 16, 1 male under
the age of 16 and 2 females probably indicating that a married child and their family was living with Thomas and Mary at that
time.

Mary's first marriage and children from that union are noted in the official records of Litchfield CT

I noticed an interesting naming pattern in some of the descendants of Thomas and Mary; daughters Abigail and Mary both
named a son Truman. Often, such naming patterns are derived from maiden names of ancestors; I would not be surprised to
find a Truman grandma somewhere in the background of this couple!

The Coe genealogy includes this ancestor:

Ensign Robert Coe, born in Stratford, Conn., Sep 21, 1684, was reared there on his father's farm, and when he
became of age was given by the latter a tract of land in the new town of Durham, Conn., whither he removed as
one of the pioneer settlers, and at the first town meeting in 1706 he was chosen lister. Here he improved a farm,
and in October 1718 was commissioned ensign; and he continued to reside there until about 1721 when he
removed to that part of Middletown which is now Middlefield, Conn., where he established a new home where he
lived until his death, Feb. 2, 1762, aged seventy-seven years.

His will dated Feb. 21, 1761, probated at Middletown Feb 20, 1762, directs son-in-law John Wilcox to support
for life Barbara Coe, wife of testator; mentions eldest son Jonathan Coe; son Jedediah Coe and daughter Mary of
East Guilford; sons William, Ebenezer, Thomas, and Reuben, and daughters Martha and Hannah. Executors, son
Jonathan, son-in-law Thomas Hart, and Capt. Joseph Curtis of Durham.

He married Dec 21 1708, Barbara PARMELEE, b. In Guilford, Conn., Jun 23, 1689, daughter of Sergt. John
and Mary (MASON) PARMELEE; she died at Bristol, Conn., Sep 26, 1774, aged eighty-five years.
