Can anyone help me with info on William Coleman, born about 1765. His wife was Hannah Stone also born about 1765. They lived in Russellville, Logan County and I think I have found them on the 1810 and 1820 census but they are not there on the 1830 census. They had at least the following children: John born abt 1785 Absalom born abt 1790 Hannah born 13 Oct 1791; md. Henry Roberts (1) & Reuben Davis (2) William born abt 1795 David born abt 1805 I would appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you, Pat Sanderson Rancho Cordova, CA

If you will contact Mrs. Grayson at the Country Nursery Gardens which is where the upper part of the Nathan Horn stone resides, she can tell you the name of the present owner. The cemetery, as Sam explained to me years ago, was behind the house, down by the barn lot. He was going to take me there but I missed the chance to check it out. His house is on a hill just inside the Logan Co., KY, border with Todd County, Mrs. Grayson lives in Todd County so I don't have her phone number but she probably is on an Elkton, KY route.

First Generation: Thomas Poore - I have a christening date for him of 30 Oct 1682, but I was given this by another researcher with no source data. He married Susannah, surname unknown. This is the evidence I have concerning her: Goochland DB 4, p.433. Susannah, wife of Thomas Poor Senr. relinquished her dower in a deed of gift of 200 acres to Thomas Poor Junr. & Elizabeth his wife in 1744. Susannah was listed as "an ancient woman" 21 Oct, 1754, while giving testimony in court. The deed from Goochland proves that they had a son Thomas - I have also seen other sons as Abraham and Robert but I have no proof they belong to the family. 2nd Generation. Thomas Poor Junr. as in the above deed. He married Elizabeth Moseley, daughter of John Moseley and Mary Nichols. Elizabeth Moseley was born 14 Jul 1725, Christ's Church Parish, Middlesex Co VA. I have no marriage record but they were married by 1744 when her father gave them a gift of three slaves. I will point out that an Abraham Poor witnessed both the gift of land from Thomas' parents and the gift of slaves from Elizabeth Mosley's parents. Since most women of that married between the ages of 16 and 21 - I would say they could have been married as early as 1741, although usually gifts of land and slaves occurred about the time of the marriage. Thomas Poor and Elizabeth Moseley had seven children [they would be of the 3rd Generation] that I know of - there could have been others. The last four had births and baptisms recorded at St. James Northam as in THE DOUGLAS REGISTER. The older children were born in that Parish before the Rev. William Douglas came there and there certainly could have been other children as well. Here is what I know about the children of Thomas Poor & Elizabeth Moseley: Mary. When Susannah Poor deposed in 1754, she stated she was at the home of her son about 12 years earlier with her husband Thomas, now deceased, her son Thomas, daughter-in-law Elizabeth, and granddaughter Mary age 2, when John Moseley gave the granddaughter Mary a slave. That would make Mary born about 1740, if the older lady's recollection was correct. But the deed from John Moseley concerning the slaves was dated in 1744. Elizabeth. Birth date unknown, but younger than Mary. She married Zachariah Haden 27 Jan 1763, recorded in Goochland Co VA. Ann. Birth date unknown. She married later in the same year as her sister. Married Stephen Lee, 3 Nov 1763. Recorded in THE DOUGLAS REGISTER. Again, if you consider they probably were not married much before the age of 16, both Elizabeth and Ann were born before 1747 or soon after. Lucy. Born 23 Dec 1756. There's a gap in ages. Perhaps there were other children born whose births were not recorded. Lucy married Obadiah Smith. I have no date. Judith. Born 29 Oct 1759. Married Constant Perkins, 9 Nov 1780. William. Born 1 Nov 1765. Thomas. Born 12 Jul 1768. This makes three Thomas Poors in a row. Some have thought this to be the Thomas that married Susannah Haden, but he was already her uncle. Such a union among respectable landowning families as these were, seems very improbable to me, especially since there was another Thomas Poor of the same generation readily at hand. Living in Goochland Co VA was still another Thomas Poor. St. James Northam Parish Rob: Pore & Judith Walker a son named Thomas born Jan: 5 1762. Baptized 1762 Feb: 20. p.61 of Parish register. I believe that this Thomas Poor is the one that married Susannah Haden, daughter of the above Elizabeth Poor and Zachariah Haden. He may very well have had some kinship to Susannah's mother's family, but he wasn't her mother's brother. The eldest son of Thomas Poor and Susannah Haden was named ROBERT Poor, quite likely for a paternal grandfather [the usual naming pattern]. The given name Robert had not previously occurred in the Haden family, nor was Robert used in the family of her maternal Poor relatives. There are four Thomas Poors. Two are practically the same age - one of these was the son and grandson of Thomases, the other was a son of a Robert Poor. There are two Susannahs. One Susannah Poor married to the eldest Thomas, maiden surname unknown, already ancient in 1754. And her great granddaughter Susannah Haden, born 29 Sep 1768, who then became a Poor by marriage. There are two Elizabeths. Elizabeth Moseley that married Thomas Poor of the 2nd Generation and became Elizabeth Moseley Poor. Their daughter Elizabeth Poor [3rd Generation] married Zachariah Haden. I hope this helps to clears up the confusion.

I think you have helped me straighten out some variances I had in my records. There is one thing that I can't seem to work out. I have three Poor siblings that am having trouble fitting in. They are Lucy Poor (b. 1756), Judith Poor (b. 1759), and William Poor (b. 1765). I have seen other posts on-line putting these siblings' parents as Thomas Poor (b. 1721) and Elizabeth Moseley (b. 1716/1743--whatever that means). That would make them siblings to Elizabeth Poor (b. 1725 according to the sources you quote). What are the birthdates of Thomas Poor and Elizabeth Moseley Poor, Elizabeth Poor's parents? If these three siblings are indeed children of Thomas and Elizabeth, then the birthdates just don't seem to work. What am I missing here? Mark

Several Coats/Coate/Coates families lived throughout the US. Were they related at all? A special effort is being made to test those who might help us find that missing link. New connections made daily! To find out, we need to get more male descendants of Coates/Coats/Coate to take the Y chromosome (DNA) test. Three of my Coats line have taken it (It takes about 10 seconds to swab the inside of your cheek; then it must be mailed to the lab), and lo, we are related, plus we have about ten new, distant relatives. The problem is that there as yet are many branches in this family that would help us solve many family connections, so the links to the other relatives are as yet unknown and the kinship may be back 100s of years! So we need more males to take the test! Only males can participate in the Y Chrom projects, but as long as he is a Coates/Coats/Coate from your line he can take the test for those who are not Coates/Coats/Coate surnamed. This is becoming the resource of first choice for the beginner or seasoned genealogist, so why not add your family line now! Why we do it ! The Y chromosome is passed from father to son unchanged, except for a mutation about every 500 generations. Testing the Y chromosome will provide you with a genetic finger print consisting of 12 or 67 numbers. By comparing this finger print to others with your surname, you can determine if they are related. The objectives of Surname Projects vary. Here are a few: * Identify others who are related * Prove or disprove theories regarding ancestors * Solve brick walls in your research * Determine a location for further research * Validate existing research Often a Surname Project has multiple objectives, and the objectives may even change over the life of the project. Most Surname Projects start with the objective to identify others who are related, and through out the project the other objectives are achieved simply as a result of the project. Current Coates/Coate/Coates males tested, and we have 11 distinct family lines have been identified, plus there are some that have no matches. Test results are posted here: http://www.coatsarchive.us/dna.htm Our Most Wanted DNA lines: http://www.coatsarchive.us/DNAmostwanted.htm For more info regarding the Coats/Coate/Coates DNA tests, go to: http://www.coatsarchive.us/dna.htm Charlotte Coats Coats DNA Project Admin -- Always Remember: Without documentation, genealogy is mythology!
