Caroline (Bates) Coffin

Would like to find Thomas Coffin JR's second wife burial location (died 1865). According to RPT's "Portrait of an American" she was buried in Canaan (Brunswick). "Long Tom" (1773-1857) was buried in Porter's Landing Cemetery (Freeport) with his first wife Elizabeth Parker. I have roamed Varney Cemetery near Bowdoin College (Where most Brunswick Coffin's are buried) and have struck out.

Caroline had grown up on Bates Island (Outer Casco Bay) with her father Edsel Bates. Edsel was a fisherman who used the outer island to get to the fishing grounds quckly and then to market in Portland. Edsel had married Desire Hayden and moved to Cumberland, Me. I had found an indication of 2 other wives. Anybody with any info on this family would be much appreciated.
