I have info for you on Joseph LITTLE and Mary COFFIN.
Joseph Little b.c1650 married Oct. 31, 1677 to Mary COFFIN who was born Nov. 12, 1657 in Newbury, MA daughter of Tristram2 Coffin and Judith (Greenleaf) SOMERBY.
Joseph LITTLE was a son of George Little.
Joseph and Mary had children:
1.Judith Little b. July 19, 1678 in Newbury who married March 25, 1696 in Newbury, MA to Cutting MOODY3, son of Samuel2 Moody and Mary CUTTING. (Samuel2 was son of immigrant William 1 Moody of Newbury, MA).
Other children- Joseph Little, George, Sarah, Enoch, Tristram, Moses, Daniel and Benjamin.
*******************
Mary COFFIN's lineage as mentioned above, Tristram 2 Coffin b. 1632 in England married March 2, 1652 in Newbury, MA to Judith (Greenleaf) Somerby, who was born 1625 daughter of Edmund Greenleaf and one of his numerous and very confusing lines of wives. Judith was the widow or Henry SOMERBY.
Tristram 2 Coffin died Feb. 4, 1704 in Newbury and Judith died Dec. 15, 1705 prob. in Newbury.
They had many children:
Judith, Deborah, Mary, James, John, Lydia, Peter, Nathaniel, Enoch and Stephen (who married Sarah Atkinson who you can read about in the Salem Witch Trial transcripts...they are my 7th great grandparents).
**************************
Tristram 2 Coffin was a son of Tristram 1 Coffin the immigrant born 1609 Devonshire, England, and Dionis STEVENS b.1609 in Brixton, England.Tristram was a son of Peter Coffin and Joan or Joanna Thember/Kember (various spellings).
Dionis was a daughter of Robert Stevens, Esq.
Tristram died Oct. 2, 1681 on Nantucket Island, MA
Dionis died Oct. 16, 1676 most likely the same place.
There is a Ton history on-line about this family.
Tristram and Dionis had numerous children:
Peter, James, Deborah, John1 (died 1642), Mary, John2 m. Deborah AUSTIN, Tristram, Elizabeth and Stephen.

Your family ties are steeped in ancient history.Hope this helps you fill in some blanks on your other branches.
Most of this Coffin info comes from various old Coffin genealogy's and from the Louis Coffin book on the Coffin family. I hope I didn't make any typo's, if something looks odd let me know and I'll check the books again.
Happy Hunting.
