There are 31 Coats,Coates listed with lots of other interesting info. Rather than retype all this info I will copy it and mail it to you.( my scanner is inoperative). Also will send copy of the Coates Family of Flat Rock,SC Bible record with all the handwritten notes etc.. Most of this info pertains to the family of Gabriel Harwell Coats and his line.. This info plus other family info I got from Camden Archives has allowed me to compile family group sheets for Harwell Gabriel Coats down his line to Gabriel Harwell Coats and descendants thereof. I'll mail these also in couple days.. Tried my best to find a way to get NC State Archives to research the parents of Harwell Gabriel Coats tonight but their stupid requirements won't let them do that kind of research. I must have the parents name and the county they resided in to get anything going....stupid government requirements stiffle getting anything done.....cheers.........grampajoec<br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href="http://explorer.msn.com">http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></p>

I'm researching information for Uncle. His name is Gerald Coate and he lives in Ohio. He believes that Marmaduke Coate is buried near his home in Ohio and would like to have a tombstone prepared for him. He knows that Marmaduke was a revolutionary war soldier, but he needs some proof of this in order for the Federal Government to assist with the cost of the tombstone. I'm hoping that you will have information to help us in our search. Here's other information that I have on Marmaduke. Born in South Carolina around 1738. Moved to Ohio in 1805. Died in Ohio in 1822. Was a Society of Friends (Quaker), but received land from the federal government for his service in the Revolutionary War. His wife is Mary Coppock.

If I've already posted this recently, my apologies... Looking for info on MYRTLE STOREY HALL ANTROBUS, who may also have used the name ROBERTA COATES in her later years. Myrtle was my mother's mother. My mother died in 1960, and was estranged from Myrtle most of her adult life. So I have precious little to go on. What little I know: Myrtle Storey married Mr. Hall (don't know whether they divorced or he died), then my grandfather, LESTER WILLIAM ANTROBUS, for a short time. They produced my mother, MARGARET IRENE ANTROBUS in 1920. (I suspect Myrtle married at least a couple of more times...) Lester was from Alton, IL; Margaret Irene was born in Roodhouse, IL, so I assume Lester & Myrtle married or lived in Greene/Madison County, IL for the short time they were together. Myrtle's mother's name was Margaret; Myrtle had 5 or 6 siblings, and a cousin, EDITH AHERN, who lived in Detroit in the 1960's. Please, if anyone has any info at all on these folks, please contact me at caroleannheller@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Dear Larry (and list) You made my morning! I am now imagining some cross between Liberace and Jim Carey! I am also wondering if Romeo was related to the Moses Coates line. We have some poems penned by Elmer Ruan Coates (, who seems cut from the same "coat" cloth. Quite the poet, if you like that kind of poetry! Elmer was a brother of Ann Lucretia Coates (1811-1875). Ann was daughter of Caleb Coates and Elizabeth Gilbert. Caleb the son of Moses Coates. Our Ann Lucretia married John Alexander Rogers, who had supposedly owned slaves, so Ann was voted out of Quaker meeting. Elmer Ruan Coates apparently owned an auction block that had been used for auctioning slaves. He wrote a poem "The Auction Block" which I have not seen, but which apparently made quite a stir at the time. I am assuming that, as a Quaker, he was opposed to slavery. I am still giggling at the thought of Robert Romeo Coates arriving in his diamond studded seashell! He seems the modern day Brit who smash their guitars & more to attract attention. One of a long line of eccentrics! Warm regards and appreciation to you and your trivia-collecting wife from Albie Muldavin "Coates" Davis, in Thomaston, Maine, about an hour from Bath, Maine. And, speaking of bad theater, who auditioned for a local community theater production of "Anything Goes" last night. Yep, Anything Goes still lives on! Our local theater group is great, but I can't keep a tune!

Let me post my caveat first regarding this entry....Robert Coates may not have left any progeny, but I simply could not resist posting this. My wife is an inveterate collector of trivia and in the course of this mania of hers, she picked up a book and I found this article only last night(and please don't ask for the title...you might get the wrong idea about me<g>): "THE WORLD'S WORST ACTOR" Robert "Romeo" Coates. Background: born in Antigua, Coates had dark, exotic looks that stood out in a British crowd. But he didn't rely on nature to attract attention--he dressed in costumes covered with diamonds and feathers. In 1807, a few days before his stage debut in Bath, England, he arrived in town--in a diamond-studded carriage shaped like a seashell. Claim to fame: Coates became wildly popular in England for butchering Shakespeare. As Margaret Nicholas writes in THE WORLD'S GREATEST CRANKS AND CRACKPOTS: 'He constantly forgot his lines, invented scenes as he went along, and turned to address the audience whenever he thought it was getting out of hand. If he enjoyed playing a scene, he would quite happily repeat it three or four times. He loved dramatic death scenes and had no qualms about "breathing his last" several times over. Exasperated playgoers would yell, "Why don't you die?" One night during ROMEO AND JULIET, Coates dashed off stage and returned with a crowbar...which he used to pry open Juliet's tomb. He considered it an improvement on Shakespeare. At another performance, someone hurled a fighting cock on stage (in "tribute" to Coates' motto, "while I live, I'll crow.")The bird pecked at Coates' feet, but the actor delivered his romantic speech without missing a beat. Coates proved that bad acting can be very profitable. Nicholas writes: 'His fame spread and soon he was playing to packed houses. People would travel great distances to see if he really was as bad as everyone reported. He became such an attraction that even the Prince Regent went to see him. When he played the part of Lothario in Rowe's THE FAIR PENITENT at London's Haymarket Theater, at least a thousand people had to be turned away....At another performance....his acting was so poor that several people laughed themselves ill and had to be helped outside into the fresh air and treated by a doctor.' Eventually the rowdy crowds became a problem. No actress, for fear of injury, would play Juliet opposite Coates' Romeo(his favorite role). And theater owners became less willing to risk damage to their property. He often had to bribe them just to get a part in their plays. Without the income from acting to support his lavish style, Coates went bankrupt. He was killed in 1848, at age 75, when he was run down by a hansom taxi." Well, folks, I was a little appalled when I read this. I teach a considerable amount of Shakespeare in my Honors/AP English classes. Moreover, I also handle Theatre Arts classes and our school's One-Act Play productions. I can certify to you, therefore, that this Robert Coates is NOT in my particular lineage! :-) ) OK, Charlotte, you may beat me for wasting bandwidth or being off-topic, but I couldn't resist this one. I mean, if it weren't for the occasional oddball, crazy, or lunatic, wouldn't genealogy get to be boring??!! <g> And.... my apologies to The Bard for having brought to light the wholesale mangling of his work!

ARTICLE XVIII. USEFUL INVENTIONS BV DIFFERENT PERSONS. PLATE III represents a front view of the patent Straw-cutter, invented and improved by Moses Coates and Evan Evarts. The principle of this improvement, secured by the patentees, is in hanging the knife on four centres or joints, at a proper angle, in such position as to slide the edge across the straw at the same time that it is pressed down through it, which causes it to cut with much more ease than in the common way. This is the principal improvement, and is well worthy the notice of those who have much straw to cut, as it can be done with less than half the labour of the mode now in use. Thev have also made several other improvements on the machine, viz. in the apparatus for moving the straw forward, and in fixing the knife to be worked by both hands, &c. as appears by the drawing and explanations given by the inventors themselves. Thev sometimes form the steel of this machine aslant so as to cause the knife to cut off the straw at an angle of about 45 degrees, which makes it etit much easier than at right angles, or square across.

(Fingers crossed: I've never sent to a list b'fore!) I have very little info on my maternal grandmother, Myrtle Storey Hall Antrobus who, later in life, was known as Roberta Coates. I estimate she was born 1895-1900, died sometime in the '60's or early '70's, probably in Alton IL. She was married to Mr. Hall, then married and divorced my grandfather, Lester William Antrobus, around 1920, with whom she had one child, Margaret Irene. She had a cousin, Edith Ahern, who lived in Detroit. Any little nugget of info will be appreciated... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
