COALE, JOHN et al. (AA).
Oath of fidelity.
MSA S 989-3505, MdHR 4589-34 1 /6 /4 /21.
This is the only John Coale I could find informaton on in
the Red Book but that was a cursory search.
I have ancestors ranging in age from 15 to 50 that served
either as you say protecting the homefront of serving in
other areas.
Hope that helps.
Becky
