Thought you might like to also know there are Coats related to the signers of the Declaration of Independence: There is a four volumn set of books with the families in them this is from vol 3 and I didn't get a page number - my brain works - John Hart - the signer Garret Hart Polhemus married 1st Hannah Smith Coates widow of Samuel Heulings, daughter of William and Sarah Coates in Mt Holly NJ on 2 Mar 1831 Children: Sarah Ann 1831-1832; William Montgomery 1833; John Hart 1835-1836; Anna Va Zandt 1837; Thomas Coats 1841; Susan Godley 1843; Garret Coats 1845-1846 (all their last names was Polhemus) (this is not the complete line - just the Coats info and then who they eventually relate back to that signed the Dec of Independence) Vol 4 John Morton - signer Charles Justin Morton married 1st Mary Anna Wetherill married 2nd Annie E.
