Posted on: Caroline Co. Va Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Va/Caroline/1855 Surname: Poates ------------------------- Poates of Caroline County. Well Dawn this is exciting! I recently found another cousin named Dawn (6th) I actually have no information but I believe that they must have been from my grandfather's mother's side. I can find out from my uncle. I have old photos of John and Mini Poates, Alice Poates, and 1st Lt. Charles Poates. What info do you have? Is your mother in law still living? Does she know of any of these people? You can email me.
