    • James was born in the Coe Homestead, located on lower Main St. in Stratford. In 1763 he purchased land on the corner of Main St and Mitchell's Lane - as of 1910 that land was still owned and occupied by his descendants. Lower Main Street is now where the airport is, seems likely that the land has become part of the airport property.
