Susannah's sister was Margaret Coats who married Rev. David S Davenport and they started the Harrisville Christian Church and lived in Randolph Co., IN. I am not sure if the John and Martha Coats line is connected or not to the other Coats in Randolph Co., IN but feel on the verge of breaking down a wall if I can have a little help in proveing or disproving this theory.

Letty Sisk was born 1866 and is the daughter of John Sisk and Cynthia Jane Bowman who were married in Grant Co., IN 24 Feb 1863.
