Carl,
The GEDCOM Debi refers to is an outgrowth of the LDS PAF program. Basically it is a format that allows exchanging data between the various Genealogy programs currently available; i.e. Family Tree Maker, Brothers Keeper, LDS PAF, etc.
The programs allow you to 'Export' your data to a file in the format *.ged which can then be 'Imported' to a different program. While it does allow interchanging data there is usually some truncation of the data set.
The Seasons Best to You and Yours,

The first to carry the name to American shores was Thomas Coe, Gentleman, companion of Captain John Smith at Jamestown, VA. Your husbandâs ancestor Robert Coe, who was born in 1596 at Boxford, England, emigrated from Suffolk, East Anglia, to Boston, MA, in 1634. He was one of the founders of Hempstead, Long Island, New York.

Phil Coe, who owned the Bullâs Head Saloon in Abilene, was involved with Hickockâs prostitute girlfriend Jessie Hazel and had long been an object of his ire. When Hickock finally met his own demise at the hands of Jack McCall, August 2, 1876, in Deadwood, SD, rumors abounded that it had been plotted by friends of Phil Coe.

> THE NAME âCOEâ
>
> Down to about A. D. 1600 the family name âCoeâ was localized mainly in the eastern English counties of Essex, Suffolk, Cambridge and Norfolk. In the form âle Kooâ it commences to appear in records about A.D. 1800, which spelling in about half a century began to be superseded by âle Cooâ; later the âleâ was dropped and before A.D. 1400 the form âCooâ came in vogue and (except for a rare use of âCohoâ) was almost universally used until after A.D. 1550, and is found occasionally even as late as A.D. 1650; between about A.D. 1550 and A.D. 1600 âCooeâ is frequently met with, being a transition stage into the modern form âCoeâ which commences to appear about A.D. 1575, increased constantly in use, and by A.D. 1650 had become the generally accepted spelling and has so continued to the present time. Although in early times spelled âKooâ and !
> âCoo,â on account of the broad accent prevalent in the East Anglian dialect it is likely that the pronunciation was always more like âCoc.â
>
> Of the origin of the name âKoo,â âCoo,â âCoho,â âCooe,â and âCoe,â at least five explanations are possible.
>
> I. For over two centuries after the Norman conquest of England, Norman-French was the language of the Court, the nobility, and the
> landed gentry, and of official documents ⢠in which Latin was not used. In the purest Norman-French of the twelfth century the term for âthe cookâ Latin coquus or cocus] was âle qucu,â also written âle quou,â âle qeu,â âle quec,â âle cou,â etc.; and in England this was âanglicizedâ into âle keu,â which in the broad East Anglian dialect would be pronounced more like âkoe.â From about A.D. 1200 down to nearly A.D. 1350 there are very numerous references to be found in English records of persons in all parts of the country called âle Keu,â like âJohn Ie Keuâ meaning âJohn the Cookâ ; about A.D. 1350 âle Keuâ suddenly disappears, and in East Anglia âle Kooâ a generation earlier begins suddenly to appear; so it seems reasonable that the latter may have!

>
> II. In the midland counties of England in former times the word âcoe,â also spelled âko,â âkoo,â âkeo,â âco,â and âcoo,â was applied to the jackdaw or chough, a small kind of crow; this use of the word is now obsolete. As numerous names of birds provided family names, the coe (or jackdaw) may also have done so. It is also to be noted that the Coe arms bear twelve black martlets; the latter however are footless swallows and not jackdaws.
>
> III. Coe is also an obsolete English word (probably from the jackdaw coe), used, especially in county Norfolk, as a nickname for an odd or eccentric person. Nicknames were the source of many family names.
>
> IV. In the mining districts of England from ancient times the word âcoeâ has been applied to a shanty covering the opening of a mining-shaft, and this use of the word still continues.
>
> V. In Scotland a Celtic termination âcoeâ is used, meaning rivulet; e.g., âGlencoe.â The family name Coe found in the north of England and south of Scotland, although very rare, may have this derivation, which however would not apply to the Coes of East Anglia.
>
> As the name âCoeâ in its earliest positively known form of âle Kooâ appears about A.D. 1300 suddenly and simultaneously in various parts of Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridge, and Essex; it is evident that all persons of the name are not descended from one single progenitor, but from several individuals in no degree related who assumed the name early in the fourteenth century, some deriving from one of the origins above suggested, and others from another.

Hi Barbara,
Delighted to hear from you. I trust you are prepared for the holidays.
I regret to say that I have no information on the Hotton/Holton family. They were obviously a Worcester County, MD, family as people did not travel far to find spouses as is done today. Lewis Hotton referred to Captain John Coe as “my loving friend” in his December 27, 1800, Guilford County, NC, will. He was likely a relative, perhaps a brother-in-law. John Coe was executor of his will. Sarah (Hotton/Holton) Coe was born in 1738 in Maryland and died October 23, 1822, in Guilford County, NC.
Captain John Coe was born in 1744 at “Coe’s Addition,” Worcester County, MD, and died in November 1807 in Guilford County, NC. He was the oldest son of Daniel and Rebecca (Avery) Coe. Rebecca must have died about 1760 as Daniel Coe married (2) in 1763, Lydia Hudson. Lydia outlived Daniel and was named in his will of March 28, 1778, Worcester County, MD.
Pinckney Coe, who was born August 27, 1847, in Rockingham County, NC, had four brothers and sisters. Youngest brother Oscar Coe must have died young. The others went to Missouri with Pinckney. Pinckney Coe’s nephew Melvin Glen Coe, who was born January 8, 1887, at Odessa, MO, died September 16, 1942, in Compton, CA.
I have included below information from page 133 of “The Coe Families of Maryland and Virginia”:
33. JOSEPH P.6 COE (Reverend John Jr.5 (16), John4, Daniel3, Timothy2, Timothy’) was born in 1817 in Guilford County, NC.

Hi Debi,
Sorry for the delay in responding. I have been in North Carolina on business. I trust you are prepared for the holiday season.
I will attempt to answer your questions. The Coe name originated in East Anglia, just east of London, England. The family was seated there from the eleventh or twelfth century. The first to carry the name to American shores was Thomas Coe, Gentleman, companion of Captain John Smith at Jamestown, VA. Your husband’s ancestor Robert Coe, who was born in 1596 at Boxford, England, emigrated from Suffolk, East Anglia, to Boston, MA, in 1634. He was one of the founders of Hempstead, Long Island, New York.
I am unfamiliar with the term “Gedcom” to which you referred. The best sources of information on the Coe family are J. Gardner Bartlett, “Robert Coe, Puritan, His Ancestors and Descendants, 1340-1910” (Boston: Privately Published, 1911) (654 pages) and my book “The Coe Families of Maryland and Virginia” (Columbus, OH: Privately Published, 2001) (two volumes, 1467 pages).
Both Coe’s Station (now Tarentum), Allegheny County, PA, and Coe’s Station (now Coe), Pike County, IN, were named for your family. The family has been somewhat influential, and as I pointed out in the previous posting, US President George W. Bush is descended from these Coes.
You mentioned Elder Joseph Coe’s wife Catherine Moyer. She was born February 22, 1833, died February 15, 1898, daughter of John Moyer of Scott County, IA.
You mentioned in your reply “Wild Bill” Hickock. James Butler “Wild Bill” Hickock grew up in Illinois and as marshall of Abilene, KS, brutally murdered legendary Texas gambler Phil Coe, October 22, 1871, the last man killed by Hickock. Phil Coe, who owned the Bull’s Head Saloon in Abilene, was involved with Hickock’s prostitute girlfriend Jessie Hazel and had long been an object of his ire. When Hickock finally met his own demise at the hands of Jack McCall, August 2, 1876, in Deadwood, SD, rumors abounded that it had been plotted by friends of Phil Coe.
Below I have presented some material on the origin of the Coe name from pages 6-7 of “Robert Coe, Puritan”:
THE NAME “COE”
Down to about A. D. 1600 the family name “Coe” was localized mainly in the eastern English counties of Essex, Suffolk, Cambridge and Norfolk. In the form “le Koo” it commences to appear in records about A.D. 1800, which spelling in about half a century began to be superseded by “le Coo”; later the “le” was dropped and before A.D. 1400 the form “Coo” came in vogue and (except for a rare use of “Coho”) was almost universally used until after A.D. 1550, and is found occasionally even as late as A.D. 1650; between about A.D. 1550 and A.D. 1600 “Cooe” is frequently met with, being a transition stage into the modern form “Coe” which commences to appear about A.D. 1575, increased constantly in use, and by A.D. 1650 had become the generally accepted spelling and has so continued to the present time. Although in early times spelled “Koo” and !
“Coo,” on account of the broad accent prevalent in the East Anglian dialect it is likely that the pronunciation was always more like “Coc.”
Of the origin of the name “Koo,” “Coo,” “Coho,” “Cooe,” and “Coe,” at least five explanations are possible.
I. For over two centuries after the Norman conquest of England, Norman-French was the language of the Court, the nobility, and the
landed gentry, and of official documents • in which Latin was not used. In the purest Norman-French of the twelfth century the term for “the cook” Latin coquus or cocus] was “le qucu,” also written “le quou,” “le qeu,” “le quec,” “le cou,” etc.; and in England this was “anglicized” into “le keu,” which in the broad East Anglian dialect would be pronounced more like “koe.” From about A.D. 1200 down to nearly A.D. 1350 there are very numerous references to be found in English records of persons in all parts of the country called “le Keu,” like “John Ie Keu” meaning “John the Cook” ; about A.D. 1350 “le Keu” suddenly disappears, and in East Anglia “le Koo” a generation earlier begins suddenly to appear; so it seems reasonable that the latter may have!
been a still further Anglican evolution of the former; and from “le Koo” to “Coe” the descent is certain.
II. In the midland counties of England in former times the word “coe,” also spelled “ko,” “koo,” “keo,” “co,” and “coo,” was applied to the jackdaw or chough, a small kind of crow; this use of the word is now obsolete. As numerous names of birds provided family names, the coe (or jackdaw) may also have done so. It is also to be noted that the Coe arms bear twelve black martlets; the latter however are footless swallows and not jackdaws.
III. Coe is also an obsolete English word (probably from the jackdaw coe), used, especially in county Norfolk, as a nickname for an odd or eccentric person. Nicknames were the source of many family names.
IV. In the mining districts of England from ancient times the word “coe” has been applied to a shanty covering the opening of a mining-shaft, and this use of the word still continues.
V. In Scotland a Celtic termination “coe” is used, meaning rivulet; e.g., “Glencoe.” The family name Coe found in the north of England and south of Scotland, although very rare, may have this derivation, which however would not apply to the Coes of East Anglia.
As the name “Coe” in its earliest positively known form of “le Koo” appears about A.D. 1300 suddenly and simultaneously in various parts of Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridge, and Essex; it is evident that all persons of the name are not descended from one single progenitor, but from several individuals in no degree related who assumed the name early in the fourteenth century, some deriving from one of the origins above suggested, and others from another.
I hope this is helpful.

Dear Carl:
I was so totally thrilled at the information you provided!! Thank you for being so generous and sharing it. I never thought I would discover half of what you have provided. It is hard to imagine there were two other Chalmers Coes - it is such a strange name. Would you know anything of the history of the name? (that's probably a far fetched question but thought I would ask anyway)
What line of the family do you come in at? When I posted the message last night I scanned the other messages posted on the board and saw your name so many times. You are very knowledgeable about the family history. Would you have any idea where the family originated, i.e. England, Scotland? Any tidbit of information is sooooo much appreciated. What with working all day and a family to take care of in the evenings, I am only able to work on this an hour + or - an evening. I have mostly worked on my paternal Grandmother's side and maternal Grandfather's side, so I am just starting on the Coe family. Would you have any information from a Gedcom file you could put into an e-mail and send to me? If you have copies of documents I would be more than glad to pay you copy and postage charges if you have the time or inclination to send them to me by snail mail. I am sure to scan things would take too much of your time. Anyway, as my 105 year old (and still going) Grandmother!
says, "You don't know the answer until you ask the question". So, hope I do not sound forward and pushy, I certainly don't mean to, just that you have ignited the excitement bug and wanted to ask.
I will have to check to be certain but I believe my father-in-law told me it was Joseph Chalmers Coe who grew up with Wild Bill Hitchcock, an interesting piece of trivia. I love those kind of things.
A couple of questions (although you may not know the answers): Was Coe's Station named for this portion of the family? Or was it settled before the elder Joseph Coe was born there? Elder Joseph was married to Catherine Moyer. You wouldn't by chance know what Moyer line she comes from would you? There is a Moyer line in the mid 1700s that runs: Anna Marie Moyer + Lesh = Lesh + Albaugh = Albaugh + Petry = Albaugh + Riegel = Echo Evelyn Reigel who married Clato Rich Coe (hope you followed that + = thing). What an interesting fact if I could tie the Moyer line in once again.
Anyway, hope I haven't bent your ear (or eyeball) too much. Thank you again for your generosity and knowledge. Anything you would care to pass on would be most appreciated. I hope we can stay in touch.
Thank you and happy holidays,
Debi Coe

Debi,
I was delighted to see your request for information on your husband’s family. I have seen your Chalmers Coe’s name from time to time and had often wondered if we were related. I have two cousins named Chalmers Coe, both ministers. One is Reverend Chalmers Coe, Congregational minister of here in Columbus, OH. The other was the late Reverend Chalmers Coe, Baptist minister of Greensboro, NC.
Clato Rich Coe was born September 18, 1899, in Scott County, IA, oldest son of Joseph Chalmers and Mary F. (Rich) Coe. September 18 is also my birth date.
Joseph Chalmers Coe was born in October 1861 in Scott County, IA, son of Joseph and Catherine (Moyer) Coe. His siblings were Benjamin F., John Albert and Sarah Jane Coe. Joseph Chalmers Coe worked as a promoter in Moose Jaw, Canada, in the early 1900s.
Joseph Coe the elder was born November 2, 1820, at Coe’s Station, Allegheny County, PA. He married (1) May 6, 1847, in Scott County, IA, Elizabeth M. Jack. She died later that year and he married (2) Catherine Moyer, born February 22, 1833, died February 15, 1898, in Scott County, IA. Joseph Coe, who was a farmer and elder in the Presbyterian church, died September 24, 1901, in Scott County.
Joseph Coe was a son of Elder Benjamin and Nancy (Shields) Coe of Allegheny County, PA. His will, which was probated November 12, 1873, named his children Joseph, Benjamin, John S., Rebecca, Margaret, Eliza, and Sarah. He was also a farmer and elder in the Presbyterian church.
Benjamin Coe was a son of Benjamin and Margaret (Biegle) Coe of Morristown, NJ, and Allegheny County, PA. Baptized November 6, 1748, in Morristown, NJ, he went with his family to the Pennsylvania frontier during the American Revolution. He served with the Westmoreland Rangers under his brother Ensign Moses Coe during the Revolution, and was later an elder in Bull Creek Presbyterian Church. Moses Coe is the ancestor of US President George W. Bush.
I checked marriages at the courthouse in Greenville, OH, and was unable to locate a marriage record for Clato Rich Coe and Echo Evelyn Riegel. There was only one Coe marriage recorded there in the 1920s: Arthur W. Coe and Inez M. Beck, June 18, 1924. I do note that Clato Rich Coe died in September 1964 in St. Petersburg, FL. Echo Evelyn Coe died in July 1956 in Pinellas County, FL.
I hope this is helpful.

Looking for decendants of above man who died accidently in Tauamarnui North Island of New Zealand in 1920, married to Elizabeth nee COONEY , two children.
Fathers name Daniel mother Sophia, could have brothers Jim, James and William
Henry went to the South African War in 1901 and the 1st WW in 1916.
Margaret,
Your great-great grandfather Adam Vincent Coe was born in August 1827 in
Germany. He lived at 717 Lamar Street and 613 Main Street, Nashville, TN.
He married (1) Feb. 13, 1850, in Nashville, TN, Isabella M. Stewart, b. May
7, 1835, in TN, d. March 17, 1868, in Nashville; (2) March 3, 1869, in
Nashville, Amanda M. Garrett, b. 1842 in TN, d. Aug. 9, 1895, in
Nashville; (3) July 15, 1896, in Nashville, Annie Kennedy, b. Aug. 1858 in
Ireland, d. Dec. 10, 1906, in Nashville.
Adam Coe died Sept. 1, 1903, in Nashville. He immigrated to the US sometime
before 1850. He shows up as a 23-year-old German immigrant in the 1850
census of Nashville (p. 316). One would assume that he changed his name
upon entering the US as Coe is an English rather than German surname.
His children were:
1. Alice Caroline, b. 1850, m. May 23, 1871, in Nashville, James Walter
Cavert.
2. Adam Vincent, b. 1852; d. young.
3 Lavina, b. 1854; m. Oct. 16, 1873, in Nashville, Robert E. Campbell..
4. Sinora (Nora), b. June 15, 1856; Oct. 21, 1923, in Nashville; n.m.
I hope this is helpful.

My ancestor, Adam V. Coe, Leipzig, Germany--1828; married Isabella (?), Born
5-7-1835 (2nd wife, I think), had my great-grandmother, Alice Caroline, in
1850, in Nashville. They are buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Nashville.
Would love to know when they came to America and any info on Coe family in
Leipzig.
Alice Caroline married Walter Cavert; parents of my dad's mother, Irma
Cavert, Nashville; she then married my grandfather, Josiah Love Shaffer, Jr.
Am trying to connect so I can visit homelands of ancestors in near future.
Thanks for assistance...
