Posted on: Caroline Co. Va Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Caroline/1851 Surname: POATES ------------------------- Hi Timmye: This Lt. Charles Poates was my grandmothers brother. My grandmother was Rosa Lee Poates Wood. Charles is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Maybe you knew that. It would be nice to see a picture of John and Mini. I shall have to send you pictures of Rosa. I am in contact with a couple of other relatives I have found connected to the POATES and this is very exciting. Thought I had no relatives until a little over a year ago. Do you have much information on the family? I can send you a copy of the information I have depending if you want it. Keep in touch and let me know. Welcome cuz. I live in Seattle Washington. Ed Wood
