Cindy, Thanks for the reply. Sorry to hear of the struggle with your addition. Sometimes they just don't know how good they have it. Isaac Coe of Manningham was born May 15, 1816, at Middleton, CT, son of Eli and Lois (Coe) Coe. He married Oct. 6, 1846, in Middleton, Sarah L. Bacon, born June 30, 1828, daughter of Ebenezer and Lavinia (Wilcox) Bacon. I found record of him at the courthouse in Greenville when I was there two years ago. Listed as Isaac Coe of Manningham, on April 29, 1858, he purchased a patent from J.N. Skaggs of Talledega, AL, which was recorded in Butler County deeds. >From Alabama this Isaac Coe moved to Nebraska City, NE, where he engaged in real estate, railroad building and freighting. He served as a Union general during the Civil War and at his death Jan. 16, 1899, was reported as one of Nebraska's earliest and wealthiest citizens. Yes, there is little question of the relationship of Edward Hampton Coe and Isaac Monroe Coe. In addition to the Stewart County, GA, connection, they are listed side-by-side in the 1860 Montgomery County, TX, census (p.99, dwellings 251, 252). What do you think of the conection of Perry Coe, Drury W. Coe and William A. Coe? As mentioned, Drury, who served with Morgan's Raiders during the Civil War, lived just three house from William A. Coe in the 1870 census of Rutledge, AL (p.65, dwellings 9,12). He lived with Perry Coe in the 1850 census of Crawford County, GA. Both Drury and Perry's families lived within a house of one another at Thomaston, Upson County, GA, in 1860 (p.597, dwellings 459,461). Drury, who is an interesting character, stood five feet, five inches tall, had dark hair, blue eyes and a florid complexion. He lived at Griffin, GA, in the early 1860s and enlisted with the Confederate Army, July 1, 1862, at Thomason. He joined General Morgan at Chattanooga, TN, shortly afterward. He saw his first action August 12 at Gallatin, TN, but served much of the remainder of 1862 in detached service at the hospital in Knoxville, TN. On June 27, 1863, he was admitted to St. Mary's Hospital in Dalton, GA, for debilitation. On Aug. 12, 1864, he was reported as camped at the fairgrounds in Atlanta, GA. Six days later he was captured by Union General Harvey at Morganfield, KY, and was sent to Evansville, IN, as a prisoner of war. Received at military command headquarrters in Indianapolis August 24, he was held at Camp Morton until May 20, 1865, when he was released. After the war he moved to Rutledge, AL, where he took up residence with Mrs. Jane Vann, leaving his second wife Sarah F. Langley, whom he married Feb. 20, 1860, in Upson County with daughter Sarah and son Norman Jackson Coe, b. Jan. 1854. In January 1871 he filed for divorce from Sarah in Butler County, AL. From there he went to Santa Rosa and Pensacola, FL, where was married three more times. He and Jane Vann had a son Lawson Monroe Coe, born April 14, 1867, in Crenshaw County, AL. Lawson, in his later years, sold peanuts on the streets of Waynesboro, MS, where he died Aug. 16, 1939. Perry, born 1818, apparently died before 1860. He married Dec. 23, 1843, in Tallapoosa County, AL, Laura Ann Langley, born 1829 in Georgia. They had several children, including sons Francis Marion Coe, b. 1845 in Alabama, and William Jackson Coe, b. 1847 in Alabama. William Jackson Coe married Nov. 5, 1865, in Pike County, GA, Nancy A. Robinson, b. June 1847. They later lived in Meriwether County, GA, but had no children. Francis Marion Coe is more of a mystery. He lived in Pike and Upson Counties, GA, where he married July 31, 1862, Margaret Elizabeth Martin. He was apparently the father of the four Coe sons who moved with the widow Coe to Marshall County, AL. One of these sons was William M. Coe, b. Jan. 5, 1865, in Georgia. William's grandson, Jerry Logan Coe, b. Jan. 10, 1933, in Columbus, GA, ran for Attorney General of Alabama in 1962, when he was just 29 years old. Maybe I'm making this too difficult. There were very few Coes in the South in the early 1800s. The only ones of the 1850 census of which I'm aware that we don't know their heritage is Perry, Andrew Jackson and Drury W. Perhaps they were all sons of Isaac? Your insights are always most appreciated. Carl Robert Coe
