John, Frances is from Rev Will's line, Lemuel was his son, so her test result would be the same as my cousins; she is a descendant of Lemuel's brother Wilson Coats, he's the one that moved to the San Francisco area...this is Curt's ancestor as well....I'm not sure we'll ever really clear those Johns up out of SC because the documentation just isn't there yet...so Curt, Frances and I have as common ancestor Rev William Coats back to the William Coat wife Frances who had land in Newberry County SC and died in Kershaw County SC....I suspect all those males connected with that Kershaw group were brothers, but we likewise need more info and documentation on the William Coats wife Mary in MD and William Coats wife Frances in SC to actually say they are one and the same person...or if it was Mary Frances or something similar....both Curt and Frances have documentation to Rev Will .....Char On Sat, Aug 1, 2009 at 9:15 AM, John Coats <jwcoats@htc.net> wrote: > edmonstar@aol.com wrote: > > hi? my mother was vivian coats, dau of james longstreet coats, of felix > coats, of wilson coats, of rev. william coats, etc., Charlotte's line.? i > have some old notes from my father's original research of the newberry, > south carolina coates, coate, coats.? the funny thing about that area was > that there were about 5 john coates, or coats, sometimes the spelling was > different on different documents, there was gentleman john, little john, big > john, etc.? which they themselves used to distinguish themselves from each > other.? anyway, when i get some of this other mess sorted out, i will send > it to Charlotte.? my father did original research in the old archives and > found, and hand copied (since there were not copiers) the wills and land > purchases.? it is very confusing since i'm not very familiar with any > coates/coats stuff prior to the father of rev. william coats.? anyway, i'll > keep everyone posted, frances edmonston > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Linda Coate <lcoate@ancestrees.com> > > To: coates@rootsweb.com > > Sent: Thu, Jul 30, 2009 6:44 am > > Subject: Re: [COATES] Fwd: Lemuel Coats > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Cool.
