I am not certain that the Henry Coats who married Mary Pitts is connected to the N GA group. But I was delighted to receive the DNA chart and plan to keep it in my files for reference. Perhaps I can find some of the NGA Coates descendants on rootsweb or ancestry and see if there is a chance they would be involved in the DNA testing. It is very interesting that I cannot get any James Brooks descendants to do DNA testing - even though I have offered to foot the entire bill for any and all of them. Such is life! If I could - I would rob a grave and do DNA testing!

That DNA test was my dad's. Just quickly looking at the data, I don't think they're the same Henry. His name was spelled Coate and (working from memory) he died in Newberry Co., SC late 1700's. He left a second wife, Hannah (and I've found proof of that now!) who was still in Newberry in 1820. She left with some of her sons to Coweta Co., GA, probably due to the land lotteries going on at the time. they show up around 1830 in Coweta Co. Coweta's in the north to mid-western part of the state, while I think Wilkes is in the south. I doubt they strayed that far. There was a good bit of info on the DNA page and the old archives had lots of legal documents about "my" Henry. Anybody figured out all those Newberry Henry's yet? :) - Janet

Well, I had to laugh at your image for the Brooks line. I hope the Henry Coats DNA comes in handy some time and that you are able to find a Georgia Coats group to participate.
