In the James/John/William group: this member: John Hiram Coats b 1875 MO d OK w Dalia Wilfong; although I don't think the wife's name is the same, but there is a John H. Coats in the Indian Records...he was living in the Welch area I think...the John H. Coats in Ottawa County OK, is Huff's brother, birth dates etc match the census records; but that John H. Coats in the Cherokee records, I'm not sure who he is yet...there is also another William Coats wife Sarah buried in the Welch Cemetery, Welch, OK....this family group (James/John/William) I believe is connected to the Charles Coats in Jefferson County GA and we have a possible link there with the DNA test with the ancestor in KS...let's see I think it's Thomas James Coats out of KS...so with so few records out of the south...the more DNA folks we have the better the information....:) I am not, I repeat, I am not aware of any records out of NC for this group of Coats' other than old research....so indeed if anyone finds documents that connect a member of this family to NC I'd be most interested in it...let's not confuse old research conjecture with what we know via the documents.... And yes, the DNA is really the best way to go....:) It is great to see also so many Coats/Coates/Coate out of the ENG area as well as one from the Evans of Wales area...and no one in the States match any of them as of yet, is that right...most interesting....

Thanks! Henry Coats/Coates m. Sarah Jacque Young according to some Young researchers. I believe they hailed from either VA or PA but I cannot document their presence anyplace but Wilkes, GA ca. 1784. Probable children are Nathaniel, Lesley, William, James, John, Jane Smiley Coates m. Howell Jarrett, and Henrietta Coates Bankston. (all male Coates and the two female's spouses were named in one lawsuit). Henrietta named her children: Henry, John Jacque, Howell, Lesley... with those names circumstantial eviidence of relationship. They moved to Louisiana abt 1816.
