With the recent discussion of Marmeduke and Henry, I thought I'd try this again. The following passage comes from p. 602 of Spartanburg County / District South Carolina: Deed Abstracts Books A-T 1785-1827 (1752-1827) by Albert Bruce Pruitt. The heading at the top of the page says "Book Q." The entry reads: "p. 314-316 Jan. 29, 1814 Hardy Fluker (Edgefield Dist) to MARMEDUKE COATE (Newberry Dist); for $90 sold 200 ac; border: Venable's Crossroads, John Burnet, Cart Road Br, George Rowlan, School House Br, and Leonard Cardin; part of 890 ac survey Jan. 21, 1793 for Leonard Cardin. Witness HENRY COATE and Joel Bell. Signed Hardy Fluker. Wit. oath Jun. 17, 1815 (Newberry Dist) Joel Bell to Y. J. Harrington JQ. Rec. Jul. 2, 1819." Does anybody know of a Coats/Coates/Coate connection to Spartanburg, SC, possibly near the Buncombe Road or Williams Creek? Specific people I am looking for are Juliana Coats, Margaret Coats, and J. W. Burnett who moved to Perry Co., AL, about 1851. Mary C. Sparks mcsparks@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
