Who had the Elijah Coats in their line...there is an Elijah Coats in VA in 1798...I suspect tied somehow to that Charles and Ann Coats there as well... http://www.rootsquest.com/~coatsfar/virginiar.htm This might be the Charles and Ann Coats that was in SC and moved somewhere about 1790...I don't think this is the same Charles that is in Maury County TN...but may or may not be the same Charles Coats in GA about 1790 something.... I've gotten the two rolls of NC land records I ordered but won't be able to get to the library to check them till Tues this week...
