Peleg Coffin, Jr.

Peleg Coffin, Jr. (November 3, 1756–March 6, 1805) was an American financier, insurer, and politician from Boston, Massachusetts. He served in both houses of the state legislature and represented Massachusetts in the United States House of Representatives from March 4, 1791 to March 3, 1795.

Born in Nantucket, Massachusetts into a whaling family, his parents were Peleg and Elizabeth (Hussey) Coffin. His father was lost at sea a month after he was born. This early background led him to found and head the New England Marine Insurance Company.
