George is the eldest child of eight and the youngest is his brother Reverend, Dr. Titus Coan. Below is a letter to Rev. George from his baby brother, Rev. Dr. Titus Coan:
Four of George's brothers removed from the sequestered New England home to the broader fields of what was then the West.
"To the eldest, Rev. George Coan, he wrote: "When I reflect on the many happy hours I have spent in your society, the lessons of moral and literary improvement received from your lips, and, in a word, the numberless acts of kindness, benevolence and attention, of which I have been made the recipient, I must acknowledge that to your care, under God, I owe much, very much. May my heart never fail to swell with gratitude at the recollection."
