†Most likely the son of Samuel and Marah [Mary] (Richardson) Coburn.

*Most likely the husband of Marcy Richardson. They filed the intention of marriage in Dracut, MA, on Oct. 20, 1753. It appears she was born in Dracut, Jan. 5, 1729/30 daughter of Josiah and Lydia Richardson. Have not found any death information on her as of yet.

Children (b. in Dracut)
Lydia, May 8, 1756 -
Jeptha, July 18, 1759 -
Mercy, Jan. 17, 1764 - Feb. 8, 1855

Possible 2nd marriage to Mrs. Mary (Massey) Coburn. They filed the intention of marriage in Dracut, MA, on Aug. 13, 1774. She was first married to Reuben Coburn who died May 30, 1773.

Children (b. in Dracut)
Abraham, May 22, 1775 -
Isaac, Jan. 13, 1777 - Mar. 15, 1821
Jacob, Oct. 23, 1778 -
Justice, Dec. 8, 1780 - Oct. 1807 at sea
Charles, Sept. 19, 1782 - May 31, 1813 at Sakets Harbor

Coburn, Abraham Jr. and Marcy Richardson, int. Oct. 20, 1753
*I say most likely because only the intention of marriage was found, no marriage record yet, and it says Abraham Jr. This Abraham was not a Jr. Probably a typo in the record?

Dracut VRs, deaths, pg 269
Coburn, Abraham, Lt., Feb. 8, 1797, in 69th y. GR8

Again I say most likely because using this birth date and death date, would have his age 67 years, 7 months, 21 days. This would be his 68th year not 69th as headstone states.
