Sandra, This is Robbie you wrote me off list about the Christopher's. Sorry I couldn't find you e-mail. I am the one that sent you the list of Christopher's from La. I have gone over my list and I believe your Christopher is Christopher T. Coates. His father is Woodrow Huey Coates b. June 22,1813 S. C. m. Artemise Ballow April 14,1847 Ouachita Parish,La. Woodrow died July 29,1883. His father was William Coates b. 1789 Richland Co., S. C. married Jane Huey William Died in Caldwell parish , La. I have all their Children 's names too. They lived next to my Coates in Caldwell Parish and moved to Ouachita Parish about the same time as my Coates; I know they are related I have not tied them yet. ( I believe William to be a cousin or brother to Austin Marion Coates.) They are intertwined with Austin Coates wives family the Coons and show up in Wilkinson Co, Ms. Woodrow shows up as an under tutor to Margaret Coon (Kuhn) Coates ; brothers children in his will. This was posted in the Woodville News paper. I believe in book one. In the Encyclopedia of Caldwell Parish, La Austin Coates and William's are listed together as one family. Austin and William Coates were both born in Richland County, S.C. Robbie
