Wilfreda, Very nice to hear from you. We may have corresponded about twenty years ago. I’m the guy who wrote the book on the Coe family. Your family has very unique DNA, the only family I have found with Haplogroup “I1.” This Haplogroup is most common in Scandinavia. With the Vikings having ruled much of England for several hundred years, it is surprising we don’t find more English families of this Haplogroup. The Coe family of Desborough, Northamptonshire, appears to be the parent family of Coes with your DNA type. Robert also traces his ancestry to Desborough, and shares common DNA with your family. Daniel Coe who married Lydia Hudson is my gggggg grandfather. He did have a son John Coe, born 1744 in Worcester County, MD. John was captain of the Sinapuxent Battalion during the American Revolution and married Sarah Holton. His family moved to Greensboro, NC, after the Revolution and is well documented. His grandson General Levin Hudson Coe was nominated for Vice President of the United States in 1848. William Coe (1730-1782) of Baltimore County, MD, appears to have been an immigrant, with likely roots in Desborough, Northamptonshire, England. Descendants of the above Daniel Coe are of Haplogroup R1b1, thought to be Anglo Saxon DNA, and most common among the Coe families of East Anglia, England. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
