    Dear Marfy,

    Your series on Daniel Coxe is enormously interesting. John Locke, the Earl of Shaftesbury, (BTW, the graphic of the painting you post is of Shaftesbury's grandson -- the famous philosopher the 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury) the "Monster Petition": all connected in some way to Dr. Coxe.

    Thanks for mentioning your son's book -- "Soul Made Flesh". I'm about 1/3 of the way through it and I'm really enjoying it. Is there something in the water there in New Jersey that creates writers like you and your son? You must be very proud of him.

    I look forward to the arrival of Dr. Coxe's son in New Jersey.

    I seem to be having a problem with portraits. Thank you Robert for catching my error.

    Dear Marfy,
    Thank you for mentioning the Coldham (aka Couldham) link to Daniel Coxe. I think the Tooting Graveney reference must be from the
    1709 "Estate of John Coldham" Bill, approved by the House of Lords.
    Some earlier Coldham's were Catholic recusants, yet they associated with the non-Catholic Browne's of Cowdray (Sussex) viz Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682). Sir Thomas's son, Edward, another physician, toured Europe under the tutelage of a John Couldham of Yarmouth, a polyglot & shipping merchant.
    I'm hobby-researching on COLDHAM YDNA (genetic genealogy) using www.ftdna.com so as to track down the Norse origins of the COLDHAM line. There were linkages to the Browne's back to the 1300's and the manor of Capel-Le-Ferne (W.Folkestone) Kent.
