Hi Everyone,
I just joined this list and am looking for information on the following
person:
Coe, wife of Frank W. Prosser Oswego,NY. I'm not sure though if they
were married in NY or Canada though as Franks parents came from Canada.
Thanks!
John
Can you help me with this line? Robert Stephen Coe don't know any dates but he married Betsy Hart don't know her dates. They had a daughter named Martha Ann Coe born 1797 in Roane, TN and she died 1846 in Newton Co., AR.
Martha Ann Coe married Rev. Jesse E. Casey, Jr. on 4 Apr 1817. Can you help me? Thank you so much.
Sandra Long
LDS Ancestral File record AFN:HH28-WH lists John COE b. 1779 "Worcester
County, MD", died 13 Sep 1852 Guilford County NC, bur. Moriah Methodist
Church; married Hannah McCAIN or McLEAN 10 Sep 1799, Guilford Co. NC.
In the 1850 Guilford County census, John Coe appears on page 308B,
household 9 in the southern division of the county. He is listed as age
70, a "Meth. clergyman", and is listed as born Worcester, Ma., or at least
that's what it looks like to me. Could this be Worcester MA rather than
MD? IS there even a Worcester Co. MD?
In 1850 he is living with Dorcas Coe age 63 and Martha Pearson age 67.
John P. Coe age 41 is next to him, born Rockingham Co. NC, as were both
Dorcas and Martha.
John P. has the following family:
John P. Coe 41, farmer, b. Rockingham Co. NC
Sybil Coe 35 b. Randolph Co. NC
Lorenzo W.? Coe 17 b. Guilford Co. (this name is hard to read)
William W. Coe 12 b. Guilford Co.
Louisa J. Coe 9 b. Guilford Co.
Martha M. Coe 7 b. Guilford Co.
John W. Coe 4 b. Guilford Co.
Mary E. Coe 1 b. Guilford Co.
The next house is
Wesley A. Coe 26, blacksmith, b. Guilford Co.
Matilda C. Coe 26 b. Randolph Co.
Mary Coe 3 b. Guilford Co.
Martha Coe 1 b. Guilford Co.
John B. Linthecum 16, blacksmith, b. Guilford Co.
There are some other Coes in this census as well.
Can anyone give me more information on this family?
I would particularly like to know if John Coe Sr. is the father of Isaac
Coe 1802-1863, as is indicated in the Ancestral File entry, and to resolve
the place of John Coe's birth. If he was really born in Massachusetts,
then is he from the line of "Robert Coe, Puritan"? And can somebody fill
in the missing generations?
If it's really Maryland, then can anyone fill in a Maryland COE connection?
And who is Dorcas, and what happened to Hannah McLean Coe?

Thanks to Carl for the nice piece on Gen. Levin Coe!
Although normally it is not acceptable to "advertise"
publications on a mail list, in this case I believe we
want to make an exception. This is a book we have all

GENERAL LEVIN H. COE
Carl Robert Coe
By 1850 his fame and popularity had spread so far and wide a major
newspaper declared "There was probably no office in the gift of the
Democratic party . . . which he could not have commanded . . . ." Two
years prior he had been nominated for Vice President of the United States.
He was Levin H. Coe, born in 1806 in Guilford County, North Carolina.
During the middle decades of the nineteenth century, Coe became a favorite
of the Tennessee political machine. Of those who carried the Democratic
banner during those tumultuous times, few were as colorful, as magnanimous
in the line of duty, diligent in the pursuit of lofty goals, or as fearsome
when offended.
The political biography of Levin Coe sheds new light on the ideas and
beliefs that motivated party activists as they fought the bitter political
contests of the 1830s and 1840s. As a political warrior, Coe had few peers
in either party. His determined stand for Democratic principles reflects
the depth of passion and partisanship that characterized politics in
antebellum Tennessee.
Coe's father, Major Joseph Coe, was born on the family plantation
known as "Coe's Addition" in Worcester County, Maryland. In 1811 he moved
the family to Maury County, Tennessee, from their former home in North
Carolina. In 1829 he moved Somerville, in Fayette County, where he built a
large plantation on Muddy Creek and was justice of the peace.
Major Coe, who served Tennessee in the War of 1812, was later a
state senator in both the Alabama and Tennessee state legislatures. On
friendly terms with President Polk, he once wrote to ``Young Hickory'' and
asked him to pick him up a subscription to the Washington Globe.
Major Coe's father, John Coe, who was born on the family plantation in
1744, served as captain of the Sinapuxent Battalion during the American
Revolution. He took the family to North Carolina in 1784, settling at
Pleasant Garden, ten miles south of Greensboro, where Levin Coe was born.
Maury County, where the Coe family first settled in Tennessee, proved to
be a seedbed of rising political stars. Moving to the county seat of
Columbia at about the same time as the Coes was the family of fellow
North Carolinian Samuel Polk. Among Polk's children was future U.S.
President James Knox Polk, who was ten years older than Levin Coe. The two
formed a lifelong friendship that helped launch the younger of the two on a
meteoric political career that was constantly clouded by controversy,
applauded by friend and feared by foe.
In August 1837 Levin H. Coe was elected to the 22nd Tennessee
General Assembly, representing Fayette, Hardeman and Shelby Counties.
Winning the district by 241 votes over veteran Whig politician Adam R.
Alexander, he served two years as a state senator. On August 16, 1839, he
was elected to a second term, defeating Whig rival E.R. Belcher of
Bolivar. Future president Andrew Johnson joined the senate from Greene
County on the same date. Coe was chosen speaker of the senate, while
former speaker James Knox Polk was seated as governor.
During the 1840 presidential campaign, Coe's efforts on President Van
Buren's behalf were anything but colorless. On June 1, 1840, he
spoke at Raleigh, denouncing the Whigs as Federalists, Abolitionists
and tariff mongers. At La Grange, Tennessee, he debated General Thomas
T. Polk, one of the few Polk relatives to side with the Whigs. During
Coe's speech he charged William Henry Harrison's father -- a signer of
the Declaration of Independence -- with being, among other things,
a Virginia aristocrat.
Coe continued his crusade, becoming more impassioned at every stop.
Back home in Somerville, he debated recent Whig convert Phineas T.
Scruggs, who had left the Democrats during the campaign because of
their opposition to a national bank. During their rhetoric Coe drew a
pistol and shot his antagonist! As Scruggs recovered, Coe continued his
campaign.
In 1842 Coe and others formed a strategy to get James K. Polk's name placed
on the national Democratic ticket as vice president. At the 1844
Democratic National Convention, held in May in Baltimore, the Tennessee
contingency pushed a Van Buren/Polk ticket. As Van Buren's support began
to wane, fellow Maury Countian Gideon J. Pillow, seizing the
opportunity, began to push Polk for president. With Andrew Jackson's
support, Polk was nominated on the eighth ballot.
When "Young Hickory" assumed the reigns of power in early
1845, Tennessee political boss Adam Huntsman wrote to Polk about
filling his cabinet positions, "It having been nearly a uniform rule
for the president to select some confidential friend from his
state, in the making of his cabinet. . . ." Huntsman had three
recommendations: Cave Johnson, Aaron Vail "Fat" Brown and Levin H. Coe.
Huntsman expressed concern, however, because Tennessee Democrats were in
the process of selecting a candidate for governor and he felt any one of
the three were equally qualified for that office. Johnson was appointed US
Postmaster General. Brown, who married Gideon Pillow's daughter Cynthia,
was elected governor. Levin Coe was appointed inspector general of
the Tennessee Militia.
In early July President Polk offered Coe the rank of major as
quartermaster in the Army of Occupation in Mexico. He gave the rank of
general, which Coe had anticipated, to Colonel Pillow. Immediate howls
of protest gushed forth from West Tennessee Democrats. Memphis newspapers
vociferously complained, declaring Coe should have, without question,
been granted the rank of brigadier general. One of them called the man
whom the president chose for the higher rank, "Col. Gid Pillow, the
jockey."
The Memphis Eagle declared "it is further said on all hands [Coe] is ten
times better fitted for the office." Of Pillow they lamented, ". . . a more
unfit, unmerited, or unpopular appointment . . . could not possibly be
made." Future Union General and U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant later
concluded Pillow was at best conceited.
Pillow went on to lead an ignominious career. Constantly harangued for
incompetence during the Mexican War, in February 1862 he was second in
command at Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River when it was surrendered to
a Union force that was, at best, equal to the Confederates holding the
fort. Pillow infamously slipped out of the fort under cover of darkness and
escaped with his life, leaving his men behind. Suspended from command, he
was found guilty by Confederate secretary of war George W. Randolph of
"grave errors of judgment."
Although Pillow may have won Polk's favor in procuring the appointment
as commander of Tennessee Volunteers, it was a great disappointment to
the troops, who held the warmest feelings of respect and admiration for
General Coe. Forming an assembly, they adopted a resolution of
thanks and forwarded it to Coe, expressing their appreciation for all
he had done for them: "Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be
tendered to General Levin H. Coe, for the prompt and impartial manner in
which he has discharged the arduous duties entrusted to him in organizing
and inspecting the Regiment of Tennessee Cavalry, and that we hereby,
tender to him our heart-felt thanks and gratitude for the kindness and
generosity he has invariably shown to each and every one of the members
of our Regiment, both officers and privates, and for the care and
attention he has always evinced to procure and add to our comfort in
camp."
The winds of notoriety continued to blow for General Coe despite the
disappointment. In 1848 he was offered the Tennessee gubernatorial
nomination. He refused, perhaps having his sights set on higher goals.
Fellow North Carolinian William Trousdale, the "War Horse of Sumner
County," accepted the nomination, defeated Whig incumbent Neil S.
"Thin" Brown, and served as governor until 1851.
In the mean time, Levin Coe's fame was being whipped to
religious proportions by the common folk of Tennessee. At the 1848
Democratic National Convention Coe gained national attention; his name was
placed in nomination for vice president of the United States, much the same
as Polk had been four years earlier and had so unexpectedly been nominated
for president instead. The magic failed to work for Coe, however. The
Democrats selected Michigan Indian fighter Lewis Cass. William O.
Butler was his running mate. Zachary Taylor became president;
Millard Fillmore, vice president.
Coe's fidelity and determination as a public servant remained
unshakable. Late in 1849, while Coe was serving as attorney general
of Memphis, feelings were intense on both sides of a question of
whether plebeian Memphis should annex patrician South Memphis, another
town running southward from Union Street. At a town meeting, words became
heated to the point of blows: General Coe drew a pistol and shot
Jeptha Fowlkes, president of the Memphis Farmers' and Merchants' Bank,
later president of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Fowlkes was slightly
wounded on the hand. Other wounds ran deeper.
Coe's standing in the community remained unscathed, however. A
merger of the two towns was accomplished in 1850, making Levin Coe
a local hero; he was the leading figure in the conciliation. On Thursday,
May 30, 1850, the city held a formal dinner in his honor, at which he was
presented with a silver tea service. On June 4, 1850, the Memphis Eagle
ran an article praising his accomplishments.
Just eight days later he was gunned down in the streets of
Memphis.
Controversy and heated debate had become a way of life for Coe. Protesting
a move by a group of businessmen to gain control of the Farmers' and
Merchants' Bank of Memphis, Coe found himself again in the center of
contention. The maneuver, in Coe's opinion, was an attempt to defraud the
creditors and shareholders of the local institution, and intended to take
the matter to a court of law. Set for Saturday morning, June 8, 1850, the
hearing was to be held in the Exchange Building at Front and Poplar
Streets. On Friday evening, General Coe received a letter signed by E.W.M.
King (former attorney general of Fayette County, judge of the Commercial
and Criminal Court of Memphis and president and professor of Law of the
Memphis Institute) and Alanson Trigg, declaring that if he persisted in the
matter "they would take action." Trigg also threatened to "thrash"
Major William Connell, who was scheduled to appear in court on Coe's
behalf.
Fearless to the threat, Coe proceeded to the hearing as scheduled.
After an exchange of arguments, Judge Turley declared a recess and
scheduled a continuance at a later date. Before leaving the courtroom, Coe
showed the judge Trigg and King's correspondence, which was filed with E.M.
Yeager, Esquire. Coe confided to Turley and others lingering in the
clearing courtroom that he fully expected an assassination attempt on his
life.
Upon leaving the building about eleven o'clock, Coe, accompanied
by Major Connell, made his way to the corner of Main and Poplar Streets.
There they were approached by five men: Alanson Trigg, Major P.G. Gaines,
Mr. Arrington (Trigg's overseer), Colonel Tompkins and Joseph C.
Williams.
Trigg, seeming somewhat agitated, approached the pair, reaching out his
had as though to lay it on Connell's shoulder. Perceiving that his
life was in immediate danger, Coe drew one of four pistols he was carrying
and shot Trigg through the heart. He fell instantly dead.
Coe then aimed a large dueling pistol at Williams and fired, without
effect. Williams and the remaining members of Trigg's party advanced.
Coe drew another pistol and fired again.
The fighting continued -- four men against two. Gaines closed
in on Connell, shooting him through the hip. Connell then drew a Bowie
knife, with which he stabbed his assailant six or seven times. Both
men lay helpless in the street, covered with blood. Standing alone,
General Coe emptied his pistols in the direction of the attackers left
standing. He stood dauntless until he reached for his fourth gun -- a
"Colt repeater," which was caught in the lining of his coat. Defenseless
against the determined trio, he retreated to a nearby house where he found
a temporary lair in an open doorway. As Arrington and Tompkins ducked into
a neighborhood grocery to reload their guns, Williams slipped unnoticed
through the building in which Coe was hiding, pushed the muzzle of his gun
to the General's back and squeezed the trigger.
On Monday, June 10, 1850, the Memphis Eagle had the sad duty of reporting
the melee: "Fatal Affray -- On last Saturday morning, at about 11 o'clock,
our city was startled by the report that an affray had occurred in the
neighborhood of Exchange Buildings in which Mr. Alanson Trigg had been
killed, and General Coe and Majors Connell and Gaines severely wounded.
On flocking to the scene hundreds of our citizens met melancholy
attestation to the truth of the report, in the sight of the corpse of
Alanson Trigg and the prostrate forms of Gen. Coe and Majors Gaines and
Connell."
Williams' bullet pierced Coe's spinal column, leaving him paralyzed
from the waist down. Everyone expected his immediate death. The
Nashville Union erroneously reported his murder the following day.
After sixty-three days of terrible suffering through the heat of the
Memphis summer, General Levin H. Coe died, August 10, 1850, at the age of
44.
On August 13 the Eagle offered the following eulogy: ". . . Gen. Coe
occupied a very prominent position as a citizen, lawyer, and politician, in
this state . . . In 1848 it offered him to the national convention of
the Democratic party as a suitable candidate for the Vice Presidency; and
shortly after, it unsuccessfully solicited him to accept a gubernatorial
nomination. In the practice of law he had won a brilliant and enviable
reputation as a sound counsellor and an able advocate. In the practice of
his profession, a remarkable and characteristic feature was his zealous
and unpaid prosecution of any one whom he conceived guilty of public
wrong. . . . As a citizen, few men were as influential in creating and
giving direction to public sentiment . . . . To no one more than Gen. Coe
is Memphis largely indebted . . . But we need not indicate how
promi-nently General Coe stood forward in his community, to aid, by liberal
contributions and zealous advocacy, every reasonable project of
improvement. We sincerely believe that Memphis will long seek another
champion of her true interests, of law and order, as firm of purpose, as
resolute of will, as energetic of action, and as eminently capable of
execution. . . ."
The Nashville Union added: ". . . For many years, Gen. Coe has been a
prominent and distinguished member of the Democratic party of Tennessee.
Possessed of talents of no ordinary character, and a firmness of
purpose rarely surpassed, he drew around him many devoted friends,
personally and politically, and as a matter of course, some violent
enemies. . . ."
Large marble monuments at the Somerville Cemetery mark the final resting
places of Coe, his father, mother Margaret (Covey) and brothers Joseph,
who died as a child, and John Greene Coe, who fell at the massacre of
Goliad, Texas, March 27, 1836. Coe's legacy lived on in a sense. His
son Levin Jr. served under legendary Confederate General Nathan Bedford
Forrest during the Civil War. General Coe's granddaughter Lucille became
the encouraging and supportive wife of Malcolm Rice Patterson, district
attorney of Memphis (1894), judge of the First Circuit Court of Shelby
County (1923-24), U.S. Congressman (1901-06) and Tennessee governor
(1907-11). Longtime Memphis School Board luminary Frances Coe was the wife
of the last of the General's Memphis Coe descendant's, Rufus Lawrence Coe,
who died in the city in 1983.
Very much the common man's hero, not unlike Tennessee Democratic champions
who had risen before him, who knows what destiny was aborted by that
ill-fated bullet in June 1850. Although Coe had previously turned down
appointments offered by Polk, lamenting that he would "withdraw entirely
from public life," his later activities showed that he was indeed a
consummate politician at heart.
Magnanimous though he might have been, his disappointment at not
receiving the generalship he felt he deserved in 1846 proved he had not
worked for years, at great personal sacrifice, totally without hope of
personal and professional gain. Considering his abilities, popularity, and
prior service to the Democratic party, high political office was certainly
within his grasp. At the very least, he would have left an indelible mark
as a daring, gallant and courageous officer during the Civil War.

Steve,
Still at it I see!
In census enumeration below I THOUGHT James W. and William D. were the
children of William's first wife Rachel Elizabeth Fox (listed on 1860 census
with William and Rachel) and Aaron, Geniva?? and Caroline were probably
children of 2nd wife Amanda Fleming. BUT: I just saw the Polk County Heritage
book at the library and the article on the Coe family says, in part:
"William Newt Coe was born in 1836 and died in 1910. He was married three
times and had 14 children. From his first marriage, he had Will, Tug, and
Newt, Jr. His second wife produced Callie (Smith) and Wes. His third wife,
Martha Davis Coe, produced Sarah Coe (Scarbrough), Mattie Coe (Clark), Lillie
Coe (Burns), Hayes, Rector, Zeke, Ben, Evans and John."
Will, Tug and Newt, Jr. ????. Is this James W., William D. and Aaron N.?
Carl - Help!
Since Vincent died before 1850 Henry C. and William R can't be his son but I
guess Sarah is their mother.
The Mary C.on the census with John M. Clayton appears to be Vincent and
Sarah's daughter. Maybe her name was Mary Caroline. Carl?

Hi all,
Sorry. I'm a bit of a fledging when it comes to my COE lineage. I have
Stephen and Betsy (HART) COE, who I believe are all their children, and a
bit re some of their children.
However, I do not know where Benjamin Franklin COE fits. Would someone
please enlighten me re Benjamin? I'd love to enter all the recent info re
him in my database but I don't know where to put it.
Thank you in advance.

Kaye,
Good to hear from you again.
Benjamin Franklin Coe, born June 4, 1814, at Moundsville, VA, was the
second child of Philip and Salome (Ogle) Coe of Marshall County, VA (now
WV). He married January 22, 1837, in Marshall County, Annie Kerr, who was
born Oct. 12, 1814, and died May 2, 1899, daughter of Hugh and Mary (Jolly)
Kerr. The family moved to Farmington, NM, where Benjamin died May 2, 1899.
Benjamin Franklin Coe's son, also Benjamin Franklin "Frank" Coe, born Oct.
1, 1850, in Marshall County, rode with "Billy the Kid" during the Lincoln
County War. He was loosely played by Charlie Sheen in the movie "Young
Guns." Both Frank and his cousin George Washington Coe, son of Benjamin
Franklin Sr.'s brother Thomas Coe, are mentioned often in Robert M.
Utley's, "Billy the Kid: A Short and Violent Life" (Lincoln and London:
University of Nebraska Press, 1989).
Frank Coe's son Wilbur Coe wrote the book "Ranch on the Ruidoso" (Library
of Congress, 68-26490). George Washington Coe, who was born July 13, 1836,
in Washington County, IA, wrote the book "Frontier Fighter" (University of
New Mexico Press, 1934), about his exploits with "The Kid." The book makes
for interesting reading.
Philip Coe, who was born September 21, 1784, in Washington County, PA, was
a son of Philip and Abigail (O'Connor) Coe. The family is descended from
Robert Coe, who was born in 1596 in Suffolk, England, and immigrated to
Boston, MA, in 1634.
I hope this is helpful.
