Biography

Don Coolidge: Phebe Coolidge was born 23 Apr 1782 in Stow, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, to Robert Coolidge and Lois Whitney. After Robert died in 1785, Lois married Oliver Houghton. Phebe and her older sister, Mary (Coolidge) Tombs inherited $100 from their grandfather Henry Coolidge "to be equally divided," as well as some furniture and whatever else was left from his estate. Lois also got something from her father-in-law: "my desk and what it contains." What's interesting is that when Henry's appointed executor, the Rev. Joseph Willard, declined to serve, Henry's son Augustus (my ancestor) requested to appointed the executor; however some of the heirs rejected this request "for we think him to be an unfit person." Phebe and her husband, Abner Houghton, were among them, as was Mary and her husband, Lewis Tombs, and Lois Houghton.⁴
