Yes, I thought there was an Alexander in the DNA project....:) The research I referenced before and the Marm group may already have it, is by a Mrs. K.S. Rohwer, titled *The Coate Families of Newberry South Carolina*, most of the documents we have from her research and most of her research references others, with some will and deed references...she also states that Charles died in SC and the Ann there later is his wife; but I don't think that is supported at least by the records we have...as I recall or her research states, she was a widow and there are no Estate Records for Charles in SC and he would have died at a time when they were keeping records...so that is why I believe they moved out of SC....but like all the rest that is speculation....she tries to sort out the John's but there are even more Johns there than she has....:) Char On Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 11:19 AM, Linda Coate <lcoate@ancestrees.com> wrote: > We have an Alexander Coates, b. 1803 in the 1st group at the top of the > list.
