Hello list, according to documentation received from the Georgia Research Consortium, Nathaniel Coates was a participant in the Revolutionary War - "Adamson, Greenberry, married Sarah Coats dau. of Nathaniel & Lucinda Coats (Rev. War Vet.) of Wilkes Co., Georgia appears in Wilkes Co. Tax Digest 1793." As Nathaniel Coates was born in VA, I do not know if his service was in VA or GA. Maybe another researcher on this line would have the information. Linda J. Farley
