• Notes

  I have in my files a copy of the ancestry of Herbert Hoover that includes biographical descriptions of Henry Coate's (Marmaduke's son) emigration from SC to Ohio in Aunt Grace's handwriting. According to my father, her sister Mamie McKinlld do the composing and Aunt Grace would handwrite it out. It's likely that this manuscript entitled "Ohio History of Herbert Hoover's Ancestry" was what Mamie was preparing for a Dayton paper as referred to in an Apr 25, 1931 letter between Mrs. Dunn to Mrs. McKinley. The letter from Aunt Grace written on May 10, 1963 is partially transcribed below by Richard Coate, it's recipient. The part in which she included Aunt Mamie's work still needs to be transcribed, but it was sent in this letter. "I received a nice letter from your mother a couple weeks ago. She is looking forward with great anticipation to all of you children coming home this summer. How I would like to see all of you. I think she is doing marvelously well to be so active as she is. She is not far from 70. But I guess I was still pretty active at that age, too. I am now 81. Peggy and Don stopped to see her in Trenton on their way home from Houston." [Don was returning to Houston to be employed as Sports Editor for a Houston newspaper.] "Hannah's son, Richard, is a junior in High School. He was sent with 83 other Boy Scouts to England on a Scout Exchange deal." I feel I have missed so much in not living closer to my nieces and nephews. You all are such nice folks. Albert and family topped here a few minutes on Mar. 10 en route from Mt. Clemens where they had taken Marcena's Aunt home. Albert's children are adorable. Was so glad to hear that Warren, Bob, and Albert's families all went down to Ashville for Martha Ann's wedding and your mother, too."I'm glad I was well enough to go to Mamie's as long as she lived. I spent much time there in the last two years - from 2 to 7 weeks at a time. She was so patient and kind. There are so many things that come to my mind of long ago, that I want to know and only she could answer."I am expecting Margaret and Robert Fuller the latter part of this month. Their travels East and West North and South, (Australia to Alaska) have been extensive. Of course your darling daughter, Jennifer is walking and is she talking some by now?" She also enclosed a document Aunt Mamie had drawn up concerning our genealogy, tracing our lineage all the way back to the Marmaduke who, along with his wife, Edith spent fifteen years in an English prison because of their adherence to the teachings of George Fox. It was pretty much what she had already taught us. (C-362) (Note: Our direct ancestor turned out to be John Coate married to Elizabeth Humphries. John spent 15 years in prison for not paying tithes to the Church of England because he was a Quaker. This has been proven through autosomal and YDNA). According to cousin, Martha Hale, Grace and two of her sisters followed in their fathers footsteps and went to college. This would have been before women won the right to vote.
