Linda...I think you might know more about this than me...but boy, if they've found Marm's grave...that is something...boy!! BTW, I just had a tombestone put up for one of my Civil War Hart family members in Bluejacket Cemetery in OK, they did a hugh stone with his Civil War unit etc engraved on it...the VA does this at no charge, but you have to show the military service....Char ----- Original Message ----- From: Nick Emrick Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2001 2:49 PM To: coats@lawyer4u.com Subject: Marmaduke Coate I found a link to your e-mail address online. 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. Please let me know if you have any information for us. My phone number is 937-439-5642.

Please forward this to Nick. The proof is in the fact that he was the Marmaduke who moved from Newberry, SC. There is only evidence of ONE Marmaduke in Newberry, SC. He was the Quaker and is written up in many histories. His parentage has been in confusion till recently, but not the fact that he helped provide supplies in the Revolutionary War. I have a very large write up for him on my page at www.ancestrees.com. Do you know where his grave is. I visited the cemetery where he was supposedly buried. An old-timer said he though his grave was under a large tree at the farthest point in from the entry way, even though his stone has been missing for almost as long as the man could remember. Please write and tell me more details on what proof they need. That's never been in controversy.
