An account of the first resident carver of Plymouth, with an extensive biography and complete analysis of his fifty-three surviving gravestones. He probably studied with Stephen Hartshorn of Providence, his earliest work dated 1767 (when he was seventeen). He carved four unique stones in the Narragansett region, one in Nova Scotia and seven in Plymouth before moving to Plymouth in 1770 at the age of twenty. He probably taught his successor Lemuel Savery how to carve and also instructed Amaziah Harlow, Jr., his partner in the painting business, as well as young Nathaniel Holmes, who may have apprenticed with both Coye and Harlow in painting and stonecutting. He also carved a handful of stones in Plymouth in the 1790s, some of which I attributed to the "Lemon-Eye" carver in my Markers (1998) essay. He signed his latest marker, dated 1805, which is a collaboration with Holmes.
