Those GA Jefferson County are rather interesting...seems to me Charles, James and William were on early tax lists...which could indicate they were brothers...then Charles and James are both dead by 1804...that seems a bit strange, I'm thinking maybe an Indian attack or something...but William who is appointed the guardian of Charles' kids could be either an older son or a brother William...but then William still appears in the jury records down to 1812, which seems to indicate this later William is the son of one of these early Coates....which might mean there are two different Williams in this group... no mention of James' kids...and now there are at least one wife, Charles', who probably remarried, if James was married and had kids, he has a wife who probably remarried as well...Charles' wife in SC was Ann, so will be interesting to learn more about this group of Coates....also Charles' son is named Thomas...that second name Bu looks like just part of the name with blank space..so I'm not sure what the whole name is...and Melly maybe Milly... Just some thoughts....

There's a JJ Coats in here....Char ----- Original Message ----- Subject: CUSTODIANS OF GREEN COUNTY KENTUCKY 1898 Taken from The ADAIR COUNTY NEWS, COLUMBIA KENTUCKY JANUARY 19, 1898 EDITION Typed as published and submitted By Laura Frost Wright CUSTODIANS A list of Representatives Men who will manage Green County Short Biographies gotten up by our regular correspondent The following persons will be custodians of green county affairs for the next four years. D.T. TOWLES Judge TOWLES is in his seventies, and has taken part in two wars. The war with Mexico and the civil war. He has served as clerk of the Green County Court, Judge of the Green County court, and was Master Commissioner of the Green Circuit Court for the last five years. He was elected by a safe majority at the last election for County Court Judge over a very popular nominee for the republican party. W.G. HOWELL Mr. HOWELL was reared on a farm in a section of our county known as Brush Creek, and began life about fifty years ago. He has served our county in the capacity of County Court Judge for four years, and has been a praticing lawyer for 12 years. More votes were counted for him on the 2nd of November than for any other man on either ticket. He is an original free silverite. E. M. BLAKEMAN Mr. BLAKEMAN is a farmer"s boy, and soon worked himself to the front as a school teacher. He has been a lover of polotics since childhood, and was Democratic committeeman from his voting precinct when at the age of twenty-one. He was elected Clerk of the Green Circuit Court in 1892 on a fusion ticket, and was re-elected in 1897 on the Democratic ticket with a majority of 167. PERRY F. MARSHALL PERRY F. MARSHALL is one of those unfortunate hard working honest men, who never thinks of politics only to perform his duty to his party. Unconsciously he has planted himself in the hearts of his neighbors and friends without a dream of political reward. Such a man can win over the strongest opponent. Mr. MARSHALL has lost two houses by fire, and now has an elegant little home in the western portion of this city. He is a good business man and will make a good county clerk. B.K. PULLIAM Mr. PULLIAM is a teacher of standing and character, and has been taking an interest in polotics for some years. The hand of affliction rested heavily upon him a few years ago, and he is now traveling on terra firma with two crutches. Last summer all eyes turned to him as the Democratic candidate for the position to which he was elected. After a thorough canvass of the county, although a strong man against him, he won with over two hundred to spare. He is qualified and will make a good school superintendent. G.B. SCOTT Mr. SCOTT is a farmer on Brush Creek. He is a hustler in the field and will make a pleasant assessor. T.S. COFFEY Mr. COFFEY was a blacksmith by trade intil he turned his attention toward the jail in 1893. He was re-elected in "97" Although Mr. COFFEY was on a losing ticket his personal popularity won the election for him byover one hundred. GEORGE CLARK is our new surveyor, while Dr. CARTER will hold inquests over the dead. FISCAL COURT J.M. MITCHELL was re-elected in his district. Mr. MITCHELL is a life long Democrat and wins easily in his district. J.J. COATS was elected in the greensburg District without Democratic opposition. J.J. RUSSELL was elected in the district composed of brentwood and Donansburg. Mr. RUSSELL has never been an officer but he is a good business man and we beleive the county"s welfare is safe in his hands. AYLETT GRAHAM was elected in the Brush Creek district. Mr. GRAHAM has served his people before in this capacity. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Get a sneak preview of the new MSN: http://preview.msn.com/

Thanks, Freeman....Char ----- Original Message ----- From: Freeman Coats Sent: Saturday, September 16, 2000 8:11 AM To: coats@hotmail.com Subject: Coats Island, Hudson's Bay The Coats name was given geographical importance by Captain William H. Coats. Captain Coats had been the master of a whaling vessel for some years but then joined the service of the King. He made several voyages of exploration into Hudson's Bay between 1727 and 1751. In honor of his exploration, his name was given to COATS ISLAND in Hudson's Bay. The only record of Captain Coats' voyages is an account of his last voyage when he commanded the ship, "King George" in 1751. In the account, Capt. Coats comments that on two occasions his ship was sunk. Once "in 1727 near the meridian of Cape Farwell when running through the ice with a small sail when two pieces of ice shutt (sic) upon us, by the tides (for it was dead calm) and crushed our sides in, and sunk her in twenty minutes". The manuscript was published by the Hakluyt Society of England and received by our Hoyt Library in Saginaw, MI in 1889. Capt. Coats addresses some remarks that this account has "been drawn up for the use of his sons". The Hakluyt Society was unable to trace the identity of his sons nor their descendants. The only information that I have of Coats Land in Antartica is that it was named for the sponsor of the expedition of exploration and no Coats was present on the trip. - Freeman Coats __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I am writing from Aberdeen in Scotland but was originally from Dundee. I can only go back as far as my grandfather, who hailed from Paisley on the west coast of Scotland. He was reputedly related to the Coats family which are one of the world's leading thread manufacturers, now trading under the name of Coats Viyella. The family must be well travelled as back in 1992 when I visited Edmonton in Canada, I came across a Coats thread turntable at Fort Edmonton, dating back to the mid 1860's. I paid quite a substantial sum of money quite a few years ago to have my family tree researched, but unfortunately it was a con trick, all that was provided was a list of Coats family members worldwide. Luckily we managed to retrieve most of the money, so all was not lost. Also, I have often wondered about Coats Island in Hudson Bay and Coats Land in Antarctica, whether they had something to do with the family. All I could find out was that Coats Land was discovered by Scottish explorer and was named after his benefactors (Coats?). I would dearly love to have more information on the family name and will relish browsing through your excellent web site. If you require any information from me don't hesitate to ask.

I've added the page that shows Edward Seaborn's petition for 200 acres on the Bush River...this I do believe is the plat surveyed for William Coate...although I can't find either of their names in the August entry for the certification of this survey... You can find it on the Newberry County SC documents page one.... Charlotte___________________________________________________________ Get a sneak preview of the new MSN: http://preview.msn.com/

Well, indexing some of those records tonight I found either an August 5 or 8th entry for those Council Minutes, it was smudged so I didn't catch it...but there doesn't appear to be in entry in there for either William Coate or Edward Seaborn...but it also seems to me that Edward Seaborn had requested another petition...but I'm still studing these records... It appears on William's plat that it was certified August 5th, 1766 but there is also another 1767 date there...which could be when the grant was entered, I don't think we have that yet...
