• Notes

  Williard Heiss says he was born in 1786 instead. Mary Helen Pemberton gives his birth date as 1796. He aparently moved with his brother Joseph to Miami Co., OH and then Marion Co., Indiana where he bought 80 acres of land in Brookvillect on 1/6/1824. This is probably the same land whose purchase he began on Nov. 16, 1822, in Township 17, North Range 4, East - Washington, E 1/2 SW 1/4 Section 29 for 80 acres. This was about five weeks before his brother Joseph also purchased land. He or his brother are not listed of Miami Co., OH when they made the purchase suggesting they had moved with their families to Marion Co., IN and then found land to purchase. I am assuming that he is the same William Coats of correct age and birthplace for he and his wife living in Harrison, Howard Co., Indiana, USA in the 1850 census. If so, they would likely have had children between their marriage of 1817 and 1827 when son John was born.
