Linda sorry to be so late on this response but to be frank I can't tell you much about John Coats Sr. Just that there was a John Coats Sr living next to John Coats Jr. in Newberry Twp., Miami Co., OH in either the 1840 or 1830 Federal Census. I am quite certain if not positive the the Jr is my John and Martha Coats line. Also then there is the earlier research speculation that my John Coats was a Jr., son of John and Susan Brock Coats...
