Listed below are all the facts I have on Stephen Coe. If anyone has further information. please let me know. 1. Reminiscent History of the Ozark Region - 1894 - An article on Anthony Casey indicates that his father was Jesse E. Casey and his mother was Martha Coe, the daughter of Stephen Coe who died in Tennessee. 2. Martha "Patsey" Coe married Jesse E. Casey 10 April 1817 in Roane County, TN. A Stephen Coe is listed in Roane County Court Minutes 1816-1818 as a pauper. It is assumed since this is the only Stephen Coe to be found that he is the father of Martha "Patsey" Coe. Martha "Patsey" Coe died in 1846 and is buried in Buffalo Cemetery in Newton County, AR. There is no record of other Coe families living in East Tennessee prior to 1870 when Leander A. Coe moved there from Surry County, NC. 3. In the 1826 Court Minutes of McMinn County, TN, Stephen Coe is again listed in the pauper records. He evidently moved to McMinn County with sons Vincent Coe and Wesley Allen Coe. Vincent Coe died before 1850 and Wesley Allen Coe moved to Bradley County, TN. An Elizabeth Coe married Moses Casey 27 May 1829 in McMinn County and it is assumed that she is also a daughter of Stephen Coe. Stephen Coe likely died in McMinn County, TN, but no proof has been found. 4. A Mary Coe married Solomon Snow in this area. A marriage record is yet to be found, however. Solomon Snow and wife Mary and family are found on the 1850 Morgan County, TN, census (Morgan County, TN, was created from Roane in 1817). In 1860 Mary Snow and family lived in Newton County, AR. Mary is found on only those two census records and on both she is listed simply as "Mary." There is no indication that her name was Mary Elizabeth. Since Stephen had a daughter Elizabeth who married Moses Casey it is unlikely he would have named another daughter Elizabeth. In an 1896 affidavit by William A. Fields he states that "Pollie Snow and Patsy Casey is sisters." The name Pollie/Polly is a nickname for Mary. 5. In a deposition taken from Square Wolf in 1896 he stated that Betsy Hart was the wife of Stephen "Cole." I have seen no documentation that supports the name Mary, Mary Elizabeth or Elizabeth as the name of Stephen Coe's wife. It is simply "Betsy." Betsy could be a nickname for Elizabeth but no record has been found that lists her by that name. 6. There is no record, documentation or evidence to indicate that Stephen Coe's name was Robert Stephen Cole. There was a Robert Cole who was a Choctaw representative from Mississippi who signed the Dancing Rabbit Creek Treaty in 1830 but he was not the Stephen Coe of East Tennessee. At about the time Robert Cole (who owned 1200 acres of land in Mississippi) was signing the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, Stephen Coe was listed in court records as a pauper in McMinn County, TN. 7. Only one record has been found (to my knowledge) that gives a clue as to where Stephen Coe was born. In the 1880 census of McMinn County Tennessee Wesley Coe listed the birthplace of his parents as South Carolina (vol. 20, ED 68:27). Vonda
