Hi Sean, If you have access to the Hardeman County Index of Wills, Administrations and Orphan's Court, I would appreciate help with the following ancestors: Thomas SUGGETT or SUGGITT, died in Hardeman Co. ca. 1838. His wife, Lucy (Bishop) Suggett, predeceased him ca. 1831. I do not know if Thomas remarried. There would have been several minor children at the time of Thomas' death, therefore there should be a record in orphan's court. William COATES or COATS, died in Hardeman Co., July 11, 1846, widow's name, Mary "Polly" (Crews) Coates. Buried New Hope Cumberland Presbyterian Cemetery. Thompson Crews COATES, died in Hardeman Co., between 1855-1860, widow's name Amanda Lucretia (Suggett) COATES. At least 2 minor children, Lucie Ella and Thomas Calvin. Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.
