We took our trip to the Cumberland Gap about a month ago. It's worth
seeing. We stood on the Pinnacle in Virginia and looked at Tennessee on
the south and Kentucky on the North. We stayed at a Holiday Inn Select
in Middleboro, Ky. Middleboro has bet on modernizing and Cumberland Gap
in Tennessee has stayed with the old ways. There is an independent Inn
there in C.G. We loved the old timey atmosphere and food in C.G. We
believe our James came through there with his pregnant wife in 1808.
There is a female Ranger at the Gap Reception center who is doing
research on people who came through. We missed her on our trip. I'm sure
the phone # can be gotten, if someone is interested. JC
Some on the list may have seen the 60 minutes program where a scientist
questioned the value of doing DNA testing for purposes of proving
ancestry. If you go back just 5 generations, you have 32 ancestors, 16
male and 16 female. Therefor, you are only proving 1/32 of your
ancestors back 5 generations. So simple, yet we knew intuitively we
might be overpaying for not much information. Now, family tree DNA only
calculates the chances down to 7 generations, which means you are only
testing for one person out of 128. Of course, any information is better
than no information. But, for a lot of people on fixed incomes, it may
not be worth it.

Aha! The Coats list is alive. Our James Robert says he was born NC or
SC on different censuses, so I don't know. When was SC separated from
NC? Now, I'm thinking that the time line for Jameses marriage and
moving from Newberry to Tennessee in 1807 fits pretty well with those 3
Johns who filed wills in 1803 and weren't settled until 1807? Does that
sound right? However, he may have been born NC and moved to Newberry
later. Best Regards, John Coats

I found a reference to a COATE cemetery on this site. It's shown as 3m
SW of Silverstreet. There's also a Pitts cemetery listed, 7.5m N of
Chappells. Both in Newberry Co., SC.
I can't find anything more on the web. Anyone know anymore about these,
such as who's buried there, etc?
