Hi Carl...enjoyed the narrative on the Deep South Coe's...but don't forget another Confederate prisoner Coe...Edward Menen Coe! Born 7/1/1821, Loudoun County, VA., died 8/6/1917, age 96 yrs., 1 mo., 5 days...and who served his prison time in Alton, Illinois, before returning to Novelty, Mo., where his pregnant wife died in childbirth weeks before his release. A question to you Carl....is there a source of proof of the birth of William Coe, b. 1727 Chas. County, Md.,/D. 10/9/1792?...or proof of Jane Milstead's birth of 1731? At one time, you mentioned Lisa Connell, of Huntington, MD...is she a source that I could question via email? Edward milstead Coe seems not to have had a very loving relationship w/dtr 'Jain'...given what he left her! Thanks and me ke aloha pumehana, Carl (kindest regards)...Jan Sing CARL R COE wrote: > Cindy, > > Thanks for the reply.
