I have also been studying another pattern in your DNA group - not related within 8 generations, but still absolutely related a little further back. That's the kit that goes back to Irving Coates, b. 1830. That researcher might like to know that according to 2nd hand genealogies at www.ancestry.com whose sources I'm currently checking, Irving was the son of Josiah, b. 1799, MA. Josiah was the supposed son of Reuben, b. 1750, MA. Reuben was the son of Charles and Thankful Tute Tate. Just more food for thought. Does anyone have a Coats family that had a John born in 1783 and a James in 1785? Linda Coate John Coats wrote: > Linda Coate wrote: > > >> O.K. guys.
