* * Question about book Capt. Abby - Capt. John by
Does anyone know if a book written by Robert Peter Tristram Coffin in 1939 called Capt. Abby and Capt. John, which is about Capt. John Pennell and his wife Abigail who both sailed all over the world, has any truth behind the history and genealogy of the family that author Coffin brings up?
This is a Wonderful book for anyone who has Pennell lineage in the Brunswick area of Maine.Coffin is known to exaggerate a story a bit and so that is why I'm here asking if anyone knows if this book "holds water" (pun Intended...couldn't resist given the topic).
Thanks for any insight.
