----- Original Message ----- From: Sharlen Leach Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 7:55 AM To: Charlotte Subject: Coats family Charlotte, I am a descendant of John W Coats and Fannie Matilda Bogar. He was born about 1873, married in Lafayette County, Missouri 12/24/1895. His ancestry is a complete mystery. I believe that he may have been a grandson of Alfred Alonzo Coats b 1798 in NY. Alfred's sons John, Owen, or Alonzo B Coats would be the most likely father of John W. Have you ran across John W in any of your Coats research? I have been told that he and Fannie "Frances" were married at the Coates House Hotel in Kansas City. Thanks! Sharlen Jones Leach<br clear=all><hr>Get more from the Web.
