George Vineyard Sr

George Vineyard Sr 1759-1852 fought in the Revolutionary War (around 1775-1783) Rev. Solider Pension Number S7794 and was buried on Red Hill (Gate City) Virginia directly behind the Benton Cemetery on Red Hill Road (see photo of original tombstone). Today it is covered in trash and should be cleared for proper viewing. We have asked the City/County several of times to assist with this to no avail. We are trying to get the DAR involved so if anyone can help us with our journey, that would be appreciated!

Coley Lineage

Willam E Coley married Polly A Vineyard Oct 25, 1860 (daugher of George Vineyard Jr and Hannah Hart). They had several children (possibly 5), one was James Lawrence b. 1866 who married Katherine Reed (these are Granddad Issac Coleys parents). James Lawrence Coley and Katherine Reed Coley had 10 children one was Issac Grady Coley b. 1892 married Anna Elizabeth Quillen May 11, 1913 and had 2 children, Angus Coley b. 1914 and William G. Coley b. 1918. William G. Coley married Myronell Osborne 4.8.1939 and had 4 daughters (2 of which were born in the Issac Coley home below) and qualify for the DAR based on George Vineyard Sr's fighting in the American Revolution. Willam Grady Coley died in 1958.
