Well, why not...we have an abundance of everyone else...<g>... Anyone have a Hugh E. Coates in their line in WVA...as you recall Huff on the 1850 census was listed as Hugh Coats...so now I'm wondering if he might have been in WVA during the civil war, he shows up in Johnson County MO in 1870 and shortly thereafter goes to OK...but he doesn't appear on any MO census records between 1850 and 1870... And in case you've all not noticed yet...Ancestry.com has an index to the Civil War Pensions...with images...you know those index cards we have for the Revolution...well these are the same thing but for the civil war...now, it says pensions so there might be other records for just military service...I haven't seen Marshall S. Coats on any of the lists yet.... The application number and unit number is needed to order the military file from the National Archive in DC...apparently they don't have a digital copy of form 80 on their web site...so you have to order those first...which can be done via email.... These are nice records at ancestry.... Anyone that doesn't have access to ancestry let me know...but would like info....

This makes 3 in Mississippi. Austin Marion Coates Married Margaret Coon Austin Murphy Coates married Lucinda Dismuke and Austin Coates (home steadying in 1883) That is all we need another one. I am sending a copy of the Land deed.
