I've added some of the Revolutionary Indexes here: http://www.rootsquest.com/~coatsfar/miscella.html This is where I'll add the rest of the indexes for Coats as well...just don't have those scanned yet... The individual records will go on the State Documents pages...I've only finished one so far Wm Coates of NJ - 1778-1779 at: http://www.rootsquest.com/~coatsfar/newjerse.html I only have one other Wm from the muster and payroll file...but I got all of the index cards for Coate, Coates, Coats.... To find these records...you need to go to the index card find the military company they were with...then go to another book at the National Archive which tells you which roll of film the muster and payroll records are on...these records don't tell you much...but could indicate areas for further research...I only got the two William's yesterday because of time restraints but will continue to collect the rest of them as I go....other than the census records this is about all there is at our Regional National Archive here...most of the other military records are just indexes...will check to see if there is anything on that Cherokee War in 1760s and they have the census records here as well....still lots to check...
