Oh, just couldn't wait to send this...it's the CT group...Perry Coats...Char ----Original Message Follows---- From: Norene Coats <nonocc1@yahoo.com> To: coats@hotmail.com Subject: ancestor death certificate Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2000 14:35:10 -0700 (PDT) Charlotte, I am blown out of the water. Everyone's guess was wrong and especially mine! However, that is what makes genealogy an exciting challenge. My great-grandfather's name was not James William Coats, but James Wilson Coats, and his parents were Perry Coats of Tennessee and Louise Rash of Alabama according to death cert. A little run on LDS shows his probable father was Perry Coats born l777 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut. I haven't a clue about this little branch. Do you know it at all?
