I am hoping that a list member who has access to the "Pennsylvania Vital Records", the "Norristown Newspaper Abstracts" books or any other reference material that might offer data would be kind enough to check for any mention of the following couple -- William ELLIOTT/ELLIOT/ELIOT married on November 29, 1792 - in Montgomery Co. PA Ruth COATES/COATS (b. May 21, 1770 to Lindsay & Ruth Coates) It has been discovered that a William ELLIOTT was a bondsman in a 1826 COATES family marriage in North Carolina and I am trying to determine if it is possible that he is the same William ELLIOTT that married Ruth COATES or possibly a son or nephew of the couple. I know that a lot of the COATES family are buried in "Old Swede's/Christ Episcopal Church" graveyard in Montgomery Co. Thank you for any help or direction you are able to offer, Susan McIntyre
