According to Evelyn Coates Aherin"s ROBERT COATES OF LYNN, MASS., etc., Ambrose Coats was born ca 1765 and married Tacy [whom she calls Lacy] Partelow on 2 Ocrober 1791. I can give you some of Sally's siblings which I got from a microfilm of LDS records many years ago. They were submitted by Miss Gertrude H. Jones of Tonawanda NY probably around 1970. I no longer have the film number. Although Miss Jones did not mention Sally (at least in the portion of the film that I copied), she did show these children of Tacy Partelow and Ambrose Coats. Ambrose Coats, Jr. was born 23 September 1795 and married Mary Kenyon at Brookfield, Madison Co., New York, on 29 December 1819; Lydia Coats was born in 1791 and died 18 January 1867; and Bartholomew Coats was born in Butternuts, Otsego Co., New York on 19 January 1803 and died on 23 January 1890. According to a very detailed group record submitted by Miss Jones in 1970, which is not indexed in the LDS records but which was located for me by a researcher living in Salt Lake City, Freelove Tacy Coats and her husband Naboth Brightman Welch were both born in 1792. However, their daughter Phebe Nancy Welch, born in Plainfield on 27 July 1832, and who married Nelson Rice of Whitesville (Allegany Co.) NY on 15 April 1851, kept a detailed diary in a calendar book for 1853 given to her by her husband for Christmas. Inside the back cover, she entered her parents' birthdates and marriage date. Freelove Tacy Coats was born on 15 March 1797 in Stonington (New London ) CT and Naboth was born in Groton (New London) CT on 2 February 1797. They were married at Plainfield on 1 August 1816. Much of Phebe's diary relates to the health of her sister Jane Welch Hungerford who was slowiluy dying of consumption. Poor Phebe, herself, died of consumption in 1858, leaving two very young ! children, one of whom was Arthur Judson Rice, my wife's great-grandfather. Warm regards, Doug
