This is very intriguing information that could provide a break-through for Jane Smiley Coats/Coates who married Howell Jarrett in Wilkes County, Georgia.

Linda; et. al, I've found the copy of the will of James Coats of Edgefield, who married Elizabeth Scott. It is hard to read. It mentions John who may have been his oldest son, and Grace who married a Smiley. Some years ago, a government agent of some kind who descended from this man was on the list for a little while, but once he got what he wanted he hasn't been on since. This line used to be on Ancestry.com, but I can't find it now. If we find the line from James of Edgefield, we should be able to prove he was the son of John Gentleman, since his descendant tested R1b1 the same as Marmaduke. The naming patterns of these families are different except for all the Jameses and Johns. John W.

Cool. Do you know who her father or grandfather was?

Hello, I am also doing research for Coats that went from KY to MO. I have a picture of Jemima Coats who was born in MO ca 1829 and died in Oklahoma 1902. She looks like she is Native American. Thank You

Well, just my 2 cents worth, I'm inclined to agree, that the answers ly somewhere that we'd not suspect and KY is an under researched area for Coats/Coates...had it not been for John Bakers Rev War dec, I probably would never have done any research there...but also remember it was John Coats I believe that had done a power of attorney for someone in Chester County SC, so I know there was some connection to KY for them...the Tax records really made the connection clearer and also there is a John Coats in Logan County KY later than my group and I suspect he is the same John Coats that did the Power of attorney in Chester County SC...but once again, the DNA testing is by far the best way to make that initial connection and then put the paper together... I am however, not real pleased with FTDNA since, there was a geneists from China doing DNA testing of the entire genome at no cost to the participant, excuse the spelling of those, but FTDNA from what I've heard got rather upset with him, when he started contacting folks out of their public database for further DNA testing...the guy in China was trying to close a gap in the Haplo W group...at any rate, he quit contacting folks....seems to me, it should be the choice of the participant whether or not they want to do further research, not FTDNA....'nough said....:) Back to your thoughts....the south part of north Carolina and the north part of south Carolina border was also in dispute in those early days, ...and yes, the back country folks were not real pro government...but in a lot of cases, they owned land, so in those early days, that is really one of the best sources for info, likewise tax records, the government always wanted their share....:) and in SC most deeds in those early days had to be filed in Charleston...well that was quit a ride from the back country, so in some cases, the deeds may not have gotten filed....or in those early days, the early deed was filed in another state or county, which then later had a border change. Or they lived in an unsettled area and they had no deed, that by the way is what a pre-emption coverd, they settled the land but got the deed later...Now John Baker also mentions in his dec that he lived along the *Poe River* for quite a few years, that being a River in KY as well, although I think today it's spelled differently....I might also mention that there are Baker records in Logan County KY that also indicate several directions a Baker line could go, with no clues as to which way....another controversy in the Baker family...so the only thing you can really do is leave it open until further research is done.... And last but not least the old research in a lot of cases has muddied the waters, when the records really could support several different directions....early researchers made a lot of guesses and lumped a lot of folks together .....

Maybe we can use this to our advantage in finding James Robert's parents. I paid $24 for this dang book, State Boundaries of America, by Tegan and Jerry Hansen. " 1729 is used when 7 of 8 of the Proprietor Heirs selling out, ownership thus reverting back to the King, and each Carolina became a separate Royal Charter. State Boundaries entries show the state and each year a significant development occured: for example, Virginia (1606, 1609, 1665, 1776, 1784, _1788_, and 1862." So, the state lines were obviously blurred. Just as in our county, all the lot lines are off by 3 to 5 feet, because they were surveyed with rod and chain before a certain date. Nowadays new subdivisions are done by GPS, or lazer my attorney tells me. Here is NC, SC. NC 1663, 1665, 1729, 1760s, _1789_.

The book also mentions how the people in the "back country" really resented governmental intrusion into their private lives. They wanted to be isolated, and probably didn't really know which state they were in. In the 2000 census my wife and I only gave our name, age, and occupation. We will do the same this year. Now to KY-TN. KY 1776, _1792_, 1820. TN 1789, 1790, _1796_ 1820. "1820 Interstate Compromise." " A long running dispute was finally settled by use of the "Walker Line" east of the Tennessee River and true 36degree 30' to the west."

I'd like to say we can assume that but we have kit #95636 who has R1A1 in our group whose DNA is totally different than the James Robert Coats group. It is not a kit for whom we know the oldest ancestor, only their statement that their ancestors came from England. Sorry about that.

I don't think so...seems there are other R1a1s that didn't match our group....look at the markers not the Haplo...my group descends from William and Frances in SC for sure, the problem is John we don't know what happened to the John and James related to this group...possible your James Robert is a son of one of them ... we just don't have enough info about what happened to that John and James in SC to know....:( Char On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 2:49 PM, John Coats <jwcoats@htc.net> wrote: > Can I assume with any certainty that everyone who tested as R1a1 DNA > descended from James Robert Coats and or John Webster Coats?

Can I assume with any certainty that everyone who tested as R1a1 DNA descended from James Robert Coats and or John Webster Coats? That would make the James Robert Coats family completely separate from Gentleman John, Marmaduke, and James of Edgefield. John W. Coats

Because we have done DNA testing, we can easily differentiate between those who descended from James of Edgefield, and James Robert Coats. Everyone whose Y-DNA matches the Marmaduke, and John Gentleman and his son, James of Edgefield, will match the R1b1 group, which Linda Coate descends from. Our James Robert and all who descend from him will match the R1a1 group. This fact proves the value of doing at least the 37 marker test, since that will show which group you came from. DNA testing has helped us all separate these two Jameses. It is just sad to see that mistakes are still being perpetuated in these on line databases. Everything in our James Robert line matches up by deeds, wills, censuses, and death records. The only things in doubt are the parents of James and the dates and places of birth and marriage date of James Robert and Josephine Elizabeth Webster. Those dates and places have never been proven by any other written records on file anywhere. Pat Moran in his book "Exodus from Offaly" has previously expressed this. John W. Coats

It's in written form, so will probably last forever....:) John, we have a James and John out of the William Coats and Frances group that is not fully accounted for as of yet....believed at this point to be brothers...all out of Maryland....sons of Charles and Sophia Coats....and yes, our line of Coats as far as we know were never in NC....

I have seen some information on this family but I would like to see birth and death dates for Henry and Sarah Young Coates, and there children. I would also like to see sources for this information. Thanks for any information anyone can share. Pat

Starting over on James Robert, it's becoming real discouraging to see so much info that his father was John Coate of Rowan Co. NC. This is incorrect, as this was John Gentleman Coates. We know for a fact that John Gentleman Coates was born 1740 and by DNA he is related to Marmaduke, a cousin or brother. His son was James of Edgefield, who married Elizabeth Scott. We know this because he inherited some acreage from his dad, John Gent, in Newberry Cty. He sold this land to his brother, William, as he was already situated in Edgefield. I thought this was all settled. Our James Robert Coatses father is unknown. The only source of record for this man is a transcribed version of Madison Coatses bible, who was one of his sons. As far as I know, no one has seen a true copy of this record, or maybe it is fragile or indeterminable. We know he married Josephine Elizabeth Webster, but she is listed as Elizabeth on all censuses. This error has been perpetuated for decades, and I hope we can all move past it. John Coats

I misquoted the sheriff's sale defendants by saying it was Zachariah Coates; instead... it was Zachariah Lamar who WAS married. It was his nephew who did not marry.

He was an administrator of Lesley Coats estate. (I can furnish those records as soon as I get them transcribed). John Bankston was married to Henrietta Coats (Coates) and lived near the Coats, Howell Jarrett, and Lawrence Bankston (likely his brother). John Bankston and Henrietta Coats named some of their children: Howell Bankston, Lesley Bankston, Peter Young Bankston, John Young Bankston, Henry Harrison Bankston, Levi H.
