Maybe we need to give this list a little push...I'll put my two cents' worth in: Leonard G. COATS b. ca 1820 probably NY; d. 13 Sep 1854; bur. Essex, Clinton Co. MI; m. 25 Mar 1851 Bath, Steuben Co. NY to Deborah Ann HADDEN (b. 25 Nov 1825 Aurelius, Cayuga Co NY; d. 11 May 1901 Muir, Ionia Co MI). Leonard's father was probably David Henry or Henry David COATS/COATES, with brothers Israel COATS/COATES (b. 1792 NJ; d. 26 Jun 1850; m. Eleanor LUCE), William T. COATS/COATES (m. Catherine LUCE, sister to Eleanor). I have more if anyone sees the beginning of a connection. Ann ACBAKER@aol.com
