Don:
See my reply on board.
ALSO: I find a reference to COFFIELD being a member of the Virginia Company of London/ 1618-on the Ancestry Biog/History site. BUT, although he is indexed he does not appear in the citation (or I cannot find him). Can anyone help?
Bill
PS: I would appreciate any EARLY Coffield citations/info

Here are some of my Misc. Notes:
One may speculate that Gresham Coffield was connected to the Gresham family, likely through his mother. Sir John Gresham, knight of St. Giles Parrish London, son to Sir Thomas, was the more famous of the family in the late 16th century. I have not found a female Gresham, born 1550-1600 who married anyone with a Coffield sounding name—in fact none closer than Cooper.
A Margaret Cofield of Norwich, was left a legacy by Valentyne Pory of Yarmouth, Norfolk. “To Margaret Cofeild ‘whom he minded if God had lengthened his life to have married’ all his good, etc. Sworn by Henry Hill and Alice his wife.” Norwich Archdeaconry/125 8 April 1601. Virginia Settlers and English Adventurers. Abstracts of Wills, 1484-1798, and Legal Proceedings, 1560-1700, Relating to Early Virginia Families by Currier-Briggs, Noel (3 vol. in one) Genealogical Pub. Baltimore, 1970, page 278.
My search of the Public Records Office at Kew revealed a number of Coffield sounding names around 1600. Unfortunately, none of these with a Gresham given name.
•William Cofeild and wife Elizabeth (born about 1595 in Checkney,Essex,England , a daughter of Phileman Whale of Chickney who left a will 4 April 1618
•To Judith Coffield, 20 sh god-daughter of Judity Morris of Dedham Essex, 25 January 1645 in New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 1894, page 118.
•William Coffyn “gent of Portledge Devon died beyond the Seas” with will of 13 July 1626 “to brother James Coffin, Henry Coffyn, sister Abby; father Richard Coffyn, late of Portledge {An added note on a Francis Coffin: transported 21 July 1635 by Thomas Smith who received 250 acres in Martin’s Hundred, up the James River/wpg.
•9 January 1631/2 by James for Edward Coffyn of Portledge.
•Michael Cofeld “gent of Tadlow” for wife Joane and bequeaths to in-laws 2 January 1608.
•Christenings: Margery Cofeld 29 September 1589 at Fyfield, Essex,, father was Joannis; John Coefield 1 September 1622 St. Nicholes Colchester, father was William; John Cofield 19 October 1579 of Earls Colne Essex; John Cofild, same location, son of Robert December 1587; Jane Cowfeild 2 February 1595 in Knightwick Worchester, father was Fraunce; And, all in Bedford: Joan Coffeild 19 April 1576, John Coffeild 12 February 1578, and Elizabeth Cofeild, 1581, Marg Coffeild 16 April 1584, all of a John.
•Elsewhere I have found that Lionell Cranfeild was a signator on the Third Virginia Charter, 12 March 1612, but it was not likely he ventured to the Americas.

I'll be interested in that connection as well. I didn't think Sir Thomas as any heirs. Thought all his 'kin' were from children of his brothers and/or cousins.

If you go to http://www.oldewash.com/ and follow the link called Washerbase and then select Coffield you will get information and pictures of the Coffield Motor Washer--a motorized washing machine manufactured in the 1920s in Dayton, Ohio. Does anyone know which branch of the Coffield tree invented this and started the business?

Bill--Now you have piqued my curiosity. What is the connection between the Grisham Coffield who immigrated in 1632 and Sir Thomas Grisham?

It at least began with Gresham Coffield who had arrived in VA by 1632. It likely came from the Sir Thomas Gresham family in England.

In 1714, a Virginia patent was awarded to Thomas Coffeild. This date would support the Thomas Coffield born about 1670, married to an Olive with daughter Anne Coffield, who married Thomas Pittman in Isle of Wight in 1720 .[[Material from Esther Anderson,11100 Braesridge Dr.,Apt.1621,Houston,Tx.77071<Esther757(a)aol.com, who notes 14 children to Anne and Thomas Pittman, the first 3 born in Isle of Wight VA, before the family moved to Bertie County about 1724]] Based on the dates I include Thomas, questionably, as one of the brothers of the third generation (see Table XXAC). But, again this Coffield does not appear in the 1704 Tax Roll and may be the Thomas Transported in 1714 .
