First I was going thru some old e-mails from 1999 and found one that said Elijah and William Coats paid taxes on land in CLARKE MISSISSIPPI in 1813 This William is still in Clarke Mississippi on the 1816 Census but, Elijah Coats is in Wilkinson County,Ms. Later in Census there is a Madison hat owns land in Clarke County,Ms.Probably one of William's sons. I am wondering if this William can be a brother to Elijah and Sion L. You know we suspected he had a brother William . Presumed dead since he went missing. Also, I found in records where there is a slew of Coats that lived on the Edisto River Orangburg,SC (Barnwell) You know that is where John Hickman (Pollards grandfather lived) Joseph Coates lived there and so did Elijah and Elanor Hickman and Joseph and Helena Coates. Here is the group I'm talking about... I hope it helps us find Gabe.. This is what I sent to the list.... Char, I believe that Elijah Coats,Joseph,William and Sion L. belong to this group of Coats some how. Pollard H. Coates grandfather John Hickman and Elijah Coates wife Elander Hickman had land on the Edisto River. Elijah Coates and William Coates are in Mississippi before 1813. They paid taxes in CLARKE COUNTY ,MS. in 1812. Sion L. later came to Mississippi. This is from Coates Archives: What say yea? William Coats wife Mary lease for a year to John McQueen (some of the same parties from William Coats wife Mary Green Coats deed) - Charles Town - Collecton County (three generations named in this group); (this area is in present day Orangeburg County, SC); 1773 - William Coats, Esq - plat, grant, memorial - north side Edisto River - all sides vacant - Berkley County; 1773 - William Coats, Esq - plat - Charles Town; 1774 - James Coats - memorial of Paul Usey - Berkley County - this land is on the Edisto River; 1775 - James Coats joins Paul Usey land in a 1775 plat- N. Side of Edisto River in Berkley County (the Edisto River runs through Orangeburg County, there is a North Fork and I think South Fork, or the South Fork is considered a continuation of the Edisto River, but there is a North Fork, but this plat seems to indicate that this land was located on the north side of the Edisto River not necessarily the North Fork of the Edisto River) (in the will index for Charlesto! n, there is an entry for a William and Mary will - however an examination of that entry shows, that it is the will of William Coats with no mention who his wife and children are - so where the name of his wife came from for the index purposes is unknown); 1780 - William Coats c1780 - Will - requests to be buried at Philips Church, Ward or Yard Charles Town near as possible to his dear wife and children but does not name them; he was age 50; his estate went to George Saxly, Esq (could be Saxby)- Charles Town (this is the William Coats who in the Charleston will index is listed as William and Mary Coats - however, this document does not indicate who his wife and children were and may not be the same William Coats married to Mary Green - no clue how they came up with William and Mary Coats for the index and then again looking at who he left his estate to, George Saxby, who was his brother in law mentioned in the 1760 deed above - so very likely could be the William who was marr! ied to Mary Green - note his age of death as 50 and it appears from the will his wife and children were deceased prior to his death in about 1780 - we know nothing about the James Coats in the same approximate area)

In your research of the Coats surname have you ever come across Charles Coats born 1/1/1811 and died 5/8/1864 Benton County, Arkansas burial at Coats Cemetery, Benton County Arkansas.

Hi folks, I am cleaning out all my old information . Boy, have I found a treasure from old e-mails and information. I wasn't looking for ELIJAH COATS back in 1990's but, just come across an e-mail from Bill Mitchell of enterprise, Alabama from 1999 . Taxable property of Clarke county Mississippi Territory for the year 1813 William Coats Elijah Coats 1816 Census Clarke County, Ms. Coats William One white male over 21 2 white males under 21 and a white female over 21 This is the only time I have seen Elijah with a William Coats. We assumed he had a brother William b. around 1866 that came to Mississippi. Now does anyone know who this William Coats is ?? Is he Helena Hickman's husband? Pollard Coats father? Oh yes, Elijah Coats is on the 1816 Census in Wilkinson County, Mississippi. Robbie
