Whit, The cemetery is located about 4 miles southeast of Quincy off of SR 267. It is on private property that was part of Henry Gee's plantation. If indeed this is the same Gee Cemetery spoken of on this board. GEEography Articles - Gee Family Place Names http://www2.arkansas.net/~mgee/articles.html Winnette

That is the correct property.

Glen: There is much confusion about the burial location of the Coes. Both Will and Jesse Jr died young and tragic deaths from their excessive use of drugs and alcohol. I believe it is possible that one or the other (or both) are buried in the Gee Cemetery. The literature indicates that they were buried in a "Gregory" cemetery somewhere in Gadsden County. I would love to visit this cemetery. I have been to several in Gadsden County searching for the Coes, but not this one. The real question and point of interest is where Major Rev. Coe was buried. That is the real mystery. There is no agreement on that end. This is highly unusual in that he was very prominent in both Gadsden and Jackson society and was the Grand Master of the Masons in Florida (twice). He also have the invocation at the inauguration of the first governor. Every other Grand Master of that era and in that area has an elaborate marker. I have seen them all. Some reports indicate he was buried in the Methodist church cemetery in Quincy and some indicate he was buried at his daughter's home in Quincy. Others indicate he may be buried somewhere near Mt Pleasant. His daughter's home still exists and is right across the street from the old high school. Of course, behind the high school is the West Cemetery which was in use at the time of Jesse's death. It would be reasonable to assume that since it is within 100 yards of her house, that is what is meant by him having been buried at "her house." I have spent hours in the cemetery and there is no marker for Jesse. Two other Grand Masters of that era are buried there with elaborate markers. It may also be that Jesse Sr is buried literally on the property of his daughter, across the street from the old high school. I have never had the courage to knock on the door and ask if the current resident knows of a body buried behind or beside the house! It is remarkable that someone of the stature of Major Coe was buried in an elaborate funeral (which he was), yet no one knows for sure where. He was the head of the Methodist ministers, head of the Masons, a former fighter in Jackson's army and the largest cotton producer and slave holder of the area. Now the stories and myths coming from his two plantations....now there is some wild Florida history, especially after his death . . . but that is another story altogether! Dr Hentz and his wife are buried in a well marked grave in the Eastern Cemetery. I have scoured it as well. Major Coe is not there either. Many of the Gregorys are buried near Ocala, if that is of interest to anyone. I probably haven't helped, but maybe added to the mystery.

Excuse the last email for some reason often my email flies out when I hit reply. Hopefully Vista will be released soon and I can get a new computer. The web address I gave has info on the Gee Cemetery. The names listed are all Gee no Coe unless it was a female married to a Gee. There is a photo of the cemetery in Gadsden County. Just click on this line and scroll down until you find it. Articles - Gee Family Place Names http://www2.arkansas.net/~mgee/articles.html Winnette
