• Notes

  Abner shows up in multiple Posey Co., Indiana Court records from 1819 to 1826. His wife, Margaret, is in one of the court cases in May of 1821. There is also a Benjamin Coats often in those same records from Feb. 1822 through August 18t I suspect would be his son or brother if the death date I have for brother Benjamin of 1820 is incorrect. Other Coats that could be children of Abner and Margaret listed in those same records are: James, George, Ann, Jesse and Lacy Coats. Even if this Abner turns out not to be the one who died after 1826, I most certainly would suspect that the Abner and Margaret who were in Posey Co., IN was a son or nephew of this Abner from Chester Co. Pennsylvania.
