Date: 9/28/98 7:51 PM RE: COE, Andrew Jackson b. 1818 in GA USA John, I see that you are at Lamar University. Naaman Woodland, Regents Professor of History there is a son of Olive Coe from here in Marysville, OH. He and Governor Bush are cousins. Barbara Bush's g-grandmother was Sarah Coe from here in Marysville. We are unsure of Andrew Jackson Coe's ancestry. It is possible that he was a son of Isaac Coe who lived across the Chattahoochee River in Stewart County, GA. This Isaac Coe was born about 1765 and is listed in the 1830 census of Gadsden County, FL, with a large family. Gadsden County, incidently, is also on the Chattahoochee. Andrew Jackson Coe was postmaster at Columbia, AL, a major port on the Chattahoochee, located between Stewart County, GA, and Gadsden County, FL. Isaac Coe purchased land in Stewart County, GA, in 1834. Those who appear most likely as sons of Isaac Coe are William A. Coe, b. Jan. 27, 1803, in Georgia; Isaac Monroe Coe, b. Jan. 14, 1811, in Georgia; and Edward Hampton Coe, b. Feb. 28, 1813, in Georgia. But according to Isaac Monroe Coe's family bible, he was a son of "Isaac Munroe Coe born 16th day of October 1787." It is obvious that Isaac Coe was married more than once. In 1830 William A. Coe, then a man of 27, is listed next door to him in the census. That same year Isaac is listed with a 30~40-year-old wife, hardly old enough to be William's mother. There were infants listed in the home that year, quite a feat for a man listed as 60~70. I hope this is helpful. We can certainly use more warriors beating the bushes trying to discover information on Andrew Jackson Coe's forebears. Carl Robert Coe
