    1. [COATES-L] Coats/Wilson Family Reunion & WorldConnect Website
    2. Etta Cooper
    3. To all my CoateCousins: REMINDER: The Coats/Wilson reunion is June 30th, Atoka, Oklahoma on Bob & Priscilla Wilson's farm, East of town. Best Western in Atoka is available. I'm sure there are other places there. Our branch of the Coate/Coats family is descended from "LittleJohn" and wife Susannah, through Marmaduke "Duke" Coate and wives Mary and Nancy. The Stringtown, Ok and my group descend from wife Nancy Rotton and her last child, Jesse Lovelace Coate, aka Jessay Coates. Jesse b 1840 AL If you happen to be in the Atoka area, come on by and introduce yourselves. The reunion will be filled with people, lots of cousins, food, and good conversation. If you descend from Marmaduke "Duke" Coate and you've sent me data, I'm still entering it. Check my WorldConnect site and make sure names, dates, and places are correct. If they aren't, email me. I'll add and correct the data in my program and update the site. New data to add? Send it. I'll enter and post the update. If you have documentation for your info, even better.

    3. ----- Original Message ----- From: Butcherswife398@aol.com Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2001 7:26 PM To: coats@hotmail.com Subject: Joseph Gladden (world Connect Listing) Is the Joseph Gladden that you have as married to Susannah Coats the one from Kings Mountian, NC circa 1790? Because I have him as married to Mary Arthur. I always thought the one married to Susannah Coates was a different Joseph Gladden, but I was researching their son, Moses today at the local Geneology Library and instead of Mary Arthur I found Susannah Coates and a different place and date of birth five years different to be exact. Any help appriciated. Thank you for you time, Windie Gladden- Franklin

    1. [COATES-L] Need some help with some Information.
    2. I am looking for any information that will help me get a little farther in the search for my ancestors. The last bit of information that I have is Coates married Rice. No first name or no dates. Also I have been told that the Coates settled in Pennsylvania in 1600. They came from England. In the parchment papers that I have it says "1 Scot". Don't really know what that means but I am assuming that it means "1 Scottish". Also it has in the parchment papers "Keeper of the Coat of ?" Can't really make out what the ? says. If anyone can help me I sure would appreciate it. I do have a list of other people in the family and I am still trying to get all that info written down. Sincerely, Diane C. Coates Cambre

    3. Are you possibly referring to a Lady Glen-Coates? If so, I think you can find a reference to the Glen-Coates family in Burke's Landed Gentry or perhaps Burke's Peerage. I am working from memory here, but the name is hyphenated and I think that is where I last saw it.

    1. [COATES-L] New photos posting to CoateCousins Family Website
    2. Etta Cooper
    3. To all my cousins: This is to inform you of new photos postings to CoateCousins Family. If someone is mislabeled, tell me. I'll change the photo heading. These photos are from Frank Coate, son of Franklin(twin) & Maxine Dunn Coate. Milton is the other twin. [Franklin (sib of Joy McMillan, Bertha Hudelson, and Cleoh Higgins) son of Charles Abbott Coate and Matilda Frances Woolsey, Tilda dau of James Henderson Woolsey and Sarah Catherine Adaline Howser, Adaline dau of John Howser and Eva Emeline Long Howser.] These photos were taken to a color copier and copied, (on a separate sheet of paper labeled & IDed with backside info)& attached to the photo page. Then mailed to me. The photos are very good and I was able to clean, touch up, and repair what needed to be done to make them viewable and a small enough file to post. If you don't have a scanner and you want your photos posted so everyone can see them, take a group of the photos to an office supply place or print shop. If there is no access to the COLOR copier, have the shop people place several photos on the glass, until the window is full. No use wasting paper or your money. Color copies cost anywhere from $1.50 to 5 dollars a page. For that reason choose photos carefully. Send the color copy to me. Include return postage on an envelope if you want it returned. I'll scan the color copy and post it to the website. The color copy is the cheapest way to go. The best way is the photos taken to a professional photographer and negatives made. The negatives are bought and can be sent to me (SASE). My scanners has a slide and negative adaptor. Rather it will when I order it. Not far off now. Why a color copy of a blank and white photo? The color copier uses the finest quality paper, ink, and machinery to copy a photos. The standard copier is cheap ink, cheap paper, and on the cheapest machine they can put out there for the public. The difference in a photo copied on the two is the difference between night and day. If you, yourself, have an excellent printer at home and get photo paper, you can make your color copy at home to send. My printer isn't a very good one. It prints out email and stuff off the internet, but isn't good enough for a photo. And, it's hard to get a good printer. Usually cost an arm and a leg. This book is ending now. Take care and enjoy the photos. Email me if you need an invite to view the webpage.
