Irene Coat, d/o Miles Coat, b. Newberry. More than likely b. in Ohio rather than SC as the migration to the Ohio Valley was pretty much over around 1805 with a few trickles for maybe 5 more years. So if he was b. 1817, likely it was in Ohio. The Wrights and Coats/Coates/Coat families have intermarried in great numbers. Thanks for the info. DJ
