I'm interested in the Henry Coates because of his wife Sarah Young. She could be related to my Mom's side of the family. My records are in storage at the moment, but here is what I had on Henry: Henry and his wife lived in Richmond, VA but then moved to Wilkes Co., GA. He or his son Henry were granted 200 acres in a 1774 land grant in St. Paul Co. in 1774 and 200 more acres in Wilkes Co., GA on 1/28/1778. This last grant was on the same day as a Nathaniel and a James Coates (other brothers or sons?). (C-1790, E) What is the circumstantial evidence you have on Henry's possible daughters? Larry Coates had written me about this family back in 1999 at larcoa@aspermont.esc14.net. Maybe he knows of male descendants for Henry.
