The first and last record for Henry Coates of NE GA dates to 1772. I am interested in knowing the background of this Henry Coats/Coates who may be the same as Henry Coates who married Sarah Young of VA. There is circumstantial evidence that Henry Coates and Sarah Young had the following children who resided in Wilkes County, GA until ca. 1815: Nathaniel Lesley or Leslie Henrietta who married John Bankston Jane Smiley Coates who married Howell Jarrett William James John I know of no living male descendants to become YDNA donors for testing but if there are any I am happy to pay the fees. -- The Rev.
