Henry COBLE

 

Born 1763, Orange (Alamance) County NC

Died 11 April 1860

Buried Sinking Creek Cemetery

Dade County, Missouri

 

Henry Coble, the Patriarch of all the Cobles of Missouri,

Sired seven sons, 3 of which migrated to Missouri.

 

For reasons unknown, there was no tombstone for our

"Grandfather" of various degrees.

 

The original objective of this page was to raise funds for

A tombstone at his gravesite

 

Janice M. Smith, janice45@hiwaay.net and myself,

Jay Gentry, gentree@getgoin.net

Each committed ourselves to a project to raise funds to set a monument.

With the thousands of descendants of Henry Coble, we felt this would

Not be an excessive burden for any of us.

 

We then signed a contract with a local monument company...

 

On May 9, 2001, a tombstone was set!

 

Through this page solicitations were made.

"Old Henry's" descendants enthusiastically responded with

Funds to adequately finance the project.

Following is a list of the.....

I would like to say Thank You to all of you who have helped in this project.

This has been my passion since I first found Henry's grave without a tombstone.

For those of you who would like to visit Henry's gravesite:
From Everton, Dade County, MO, travel east on US 160
approximately one mile, turn right (south) on CR 223,
8/10 mile to CR 166. Turn right (west) to cemetery...1/2 mile.

Web Owner's note:

This was my first attempt at creating a webpage. Forgive it's simplicity. I am a very Senior Citizen whose intent was to set a stone for Our Ancestor in my lifetime. We attempted other options for raising funds for this stone to no avail. I thought I'd try this...it worked!
