----- Original Message ----- From: Lori Ann Williams Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 7:32 AM To: * Charlotte Subject: RE: Kinzy Coats Thanks for the quick reply. John Kinzy Whitley (there is also a John Kinzy Coats, my JK's cousin) was born in McNairy Co., TN in 1850. Mary Elizabeth Coats, JK's mother, was born in 1828 in either NC, Indiana, or TN (conflicting census data). Her father was Obediah Coats b. about 1808 and she had brothers, Obed, David and Joshua. I have an article from McNairy Co., TN that discusses the lineage of Obediah's family. Obed (the brother) and Mary are living next door to each other on the 1850 McNairy Co. census. Mary and John Whitley later moved the family to Illinois, but the majority of my Coats information has came out of Tennessee.
