Great Great Grandmother of US President George W. Bush.

George W. Bush's roots run deep in Union County and he has many relatives in and around the Marysville and Milford Center areas. He traces his local connections back to one of the early settlers of the county, Daniel Coe.

Coe was a well-respected farmer who lived near Milford Center on the present Darby Coe Road. His farm was about a mile north of town. He is credited with building one of Union County's first grist mills, which he began on Darby Creek in 1836. He was a staunch Presbyterian and served as elder in the church until his death in 1851.

Coe's widow Mary (Gladden) Coe moved into Marysville in 1854, leaving the care of the farm to their son Phillip. The Coe family lived by the "plain living - high thinking" philosophy that helped make the county what it is today.

Daniel Coe was born in Washington County, PA, on March 3, 1801. His father Moses Coe was an ensign during the Revolution. The family immigrated from Boxford, England, April 10, 1634, when his great-great-great-grandfather Robert Coe boarded the ship "Francis" at Ipswich Harbor, County Suffolk, and sailed for Boston, MA.

Robert Coe was a Puritan and came to America seeking religious freedom. He could trace his English family back some nine generations to Sir John Coe, an English Knight who was a captain in the "White Company," subject of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novel of the same name. Sir John was knighted by King Edward III in 1365 for his valor at the Battle of San Gullo, Italy, May 1, 1364.

President Bush is the great-great grandson of Daniel and Mary Coe's daughter Sarah. In 1855 Sarah Coe married John W. Robinson, a Marysville area farmer. (bio by: Carl Robert Coe)
