Seek information on the families of Saline Co, Missouri and Livingston Co, MO together. Seems Joseph Coats was in Livingston Co in 1850 and 1860, but he and wife Dovey White moved to Saline County, Salt Pond Township before 1870. I believe he had a brother George W. Coats that remained in Livingston County. Possibly a sister married Hiram Crutchfield (see below). Anyone know their parents? Siblings?? Livingston Co, MO, Monroe Twp in 1850: Joseph Coats -30 (MO) Rhoda - 27 (IND) James K. -11 (MO) Washington -9 (MO) Mary J. -7 (MO) Lewis -2 (MO) William - 7 mos. (MO) Close by is whom I believe to be his brother: George W. Coats-18 (MO) Lived with: Hiram Shutchfield [Crutchfield]-34 (TN) Sarah [Coats] - 22 (MO) Martha A. -7 mos. (MO) In 1860, I can't find George W. Coats, who married Sarah Elizabeth Gill in 1855 in Livingston Co, MO, although Joseph is there. He had married Dovey A. White in 1858 in Livingston Co, MO: Joseph Coats -38 (TN) Dovey -32 (IND) Lewis -13 (MO) William -11 (MO) Julia - 8 (MO) Benjamin -6 (MO) Mary -10 (MO) [last name probably White] James -7 (MO) [last name probably White] Virginia -5 (MO) [last name probably White] Sarah -2 (MO) 1870 Livingston Co, MO, Monroe Twp, George Coats is there, but Joseph isn't! G.W. Coats - 38 (MO) Sarah E. -34 (OH) John P. - (MO) 1870 Saline Co, MO, Salt Pond Twp: Joseph Coats -56 (KY) Dora Ann [Dovey Ann??] -41 (IND) Joseph -8 (MO) Margaret -6 (MO) Melinda -4 (MO) William -20 (MO) Benjamin -15 (MO) Mary E. Wight -19 (MO) James Isaac Wight -17 (MO) Virginia E. Wight -15 (MO) I'm guessing that the Wight children are by Dovey's 1st marriage. Family legend has it that some of these families moved to California, maybe Sonora, in Tuolumne County or elsewhere. Can anyone help me piece them together??
