Armistead Coats was my gggrandfather who left NC and came to West TN. He supposedly went back to Rockingham Co to visit his parents in the early 1830's or late 1820's. I believe his parents were Richard H. and Polly Coats/Coates. They married June 9, 1794 in Halifax Co VA. Possible siblings of Armistead are Peyton H. married to Mary Elizabeth Richardson, R. H., Sally married to William Hall in Halifax Co. VA, and Charles Coats married to Judy Taylor. Any information would be appreciated.
