'Daniel Coxe' (
1640 –
January 19,
1730) was a
governor of
West Jersey, 1687-1688 and 1689-1692.
Born in
London, Coxe was a physician in the court of
Charles II of England. He never actually went to the North American continent; instead, his son Daniel Coxe, Jr., and an agent,
John Tatham, went in place of him.
Coxe opened the earliest commercial-scale pottery in
New Jersey.

Coxe died in 1730, and was buried in
Saint Mary's Episcopal Churchyard in Burlington.
