Hi! I am a descendant of the Coes of Cumberland County. I have so many questions to ask, but my side is the Black side of the Coes. I know there are 2 books in existence right now, one is called "Chronicles of Coe Colony" originally written by Samuel S. Coe, and "The Saga of Coe Colony". I am trying to find out a little more about the heritage of my family. My great grandmother was Martha Cassie Coe, who was later called "Mother Wagner". But I am curious because the first ones named are Sukey and Betty, who are slaves brought over from North Carolina, and maybe were sold to old John Coe or something. I am trying to find out where they came from before that. I am also trying to find out if anyone may have a photo of "Bill Raspberry" who was my great grandfather that married "Martha Cassie Coe". It is said that he went to Normal School over in Tennessee. His whole life seems to be a mystery. Can anyone help?
