I went to both of these sites at least one seems to be for Rev William Coats' son John??? but has him dying in OH...I think there might be some misconnections here... Has Rev William's father as Phillip and him born in Paisley Scotland... Or there is another Rev William Coats and Nancy Baker around...<g>... Char ************************ The family line was located on the following sites: www.rootsweb.com/~tsingle/johnson/fam00026.htm www.familytreemaker.com/users/s/l/o/William-L-Sloan/GENE7-0004.html Both list his parents as John Coats b. Jan. 20, 1788 in So. Carolina, and wife Sarah "Sallie" Wright, dau. of Thomas Wright and Elizabeth (Mary) Jay of So. Carolina. The sites also lists all the children. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
