Hi Anne, What do your records show about the family? If you are confirming that the Isaac that died in 1786 is the son of John & Mary do you possibly have any details to offer on his unnamed wife? Were his children limited to Isaac, Abraham, Elizabeth, and was there only a Jacob or was there also a John? Did they remain in the PA area? Thank you for replying to my posting - maybe with your help we will be able to clear up some of the Coats/Coates mysteries.
