There is a grave inside the church of St Mary's at Maldon, showing Charles Coe, his wife and four sons and four daughters.Source Photograph April 1999.
He is the son of John and Martha Coe.
Charles, a merchant, owned the copyhold of the Manor of Little Totham with Goldhanger in addition to many other properties around Maldon - source Essex pro. We have a copy of his will made in 1731 - source Public Record Office National Archives Prob 11/871. He mentions a sister Mary Legg in the will.
Extract from his will: "I give and devise to my loveing Son Charles Coe and to his heirs and assigns forever all that messuage tenement or dwelling house wherein I now inhabit with all the houses outhouses yards gardens and appurts thereto belonging and situate in the parish of St Peter Maldon."
From The History of Essex Book 11 we find the following, relating to the Hundred of Dengey:"This reputed manor, named Lachendon, or Purley Barnes, is stated to have formed part of the parish of Lachingdon...The estate afterwards belonged to Henry Ashurst,esq, who in 1671 sold it to Henry Mildmay,esq, of whom it was purchased by CHARLES COE, of Maldon, who gave it to his son, Thomas Coe MD of Maldon, from whom it passed to his descendants." It still remains as shown on the current OS map of SE Essex.
From the same source: "The manor house of Fawlty is near the channel, half a mile west from the church (Goldhanger?);this estate belonged to Bileigh Abbey, and after the dissolution was granted, in 1538, to Charles Brandon, duke of Suffolk...In 1627 John Whigtaeres had this estate;John Shaw was his cousin and heir. It afterwards belonged to the COE family of Maldon." It is still extant.

An email from MAHG contains the following from "The Borough of Maldon 1688-1768" (JR Smith 1981):- "From the end of the 17th century the Coes were the chief mercantile family in Maldon. Their rise began in the second half of the 17th century, and by the second half of the 18th century they owned extensive property in the town."
Boyd fiche shows a marriage in 1695 in Little Baddow between Charles Coe and Hannah Dalwen. Same information from scrap of paper in Edwin Hancock's handwriting.
