He was a shipbuilder in Durham and postmaster at Center Harbor, NH. He was a merchant and abolitionist. His home, now known as "Coe House," was reportedly a way station on the Underground Railroad. He traveled to Natchez, MS, to free his son's slave Richard in 1860. This was during the trial of another Northern abolitionist, John Brown, who had just failed in his attack to seize the Harper's Ferry armory and arm slaves for a rebellion all over the South. The John Brown raid triggered panic in the South and greatly increased tensions with the North. The week that Brown was hung, John Coe obtained a passport from the governor of New Hampshire to provide him with safe conduct through the South. He returned to New Hampshire in ill health and died Dec. 2, 1861, at Center Harbor before the outbreak of the Civil War. Burial was at Coe Cemetery, Center Harbor. Ann Schott Coe, the wife of great grandson Herbert Howarth Coe, published a novel in 1970, "Refuge," loosely based on the misadventures of son John Lyman Coe, owner of the slave. He married Sept. 28, 1823, Lavinia Towle Senter, born Nov. 7, 1800, at Meredith, NH, died Oct. 12, 1883, at Center Harbor, NH.
