Joseph Coe (November 12, 1784 – October 17, 1854) was a leader in the early days of the Latter-day Saint movement.
In 1831, while living in Macedon, New York, he joined the newly established Church of Christ, led by Joseph Smith.
He was ordained an elder and moved his family to Kirtland, Ohio to join the main gathering of Latter-day Saints.
In 1835, Coe provided $800 of the $2400 used by the church to purchase some mummies and papyri which Smith used to produce the Book of Abraham.
[5] Coe lived the rest of his life in Kirtland and did not associate with any Latter-day Saint group after his excommunication.
