Notes - He joined the Greenville Creek Church like many of his relatives had previously on May 15, 1853. He might be the William (T or J.) Coats who was living in Randolph Co., Indiana who signed an affadavit stating that he grew up with Silasn in Silas's pension application. (Silas lived as a boy in Franklin Twp., (Darke Co., OH?) which would indicate that William did also. William Coats was 62 on this Mar. 30, 1899 affadavit. He enlisted in the Civil War on Oct. 29, 1861 in Company B, 71st Ohio Infantry and served for a period of 3 years. On Jan. 14, 1864, he re-enlisted until the close of the war. After the war, he became a minister of the Christian Church. He and his wife were married by his cousin, Rev. David S. Davenport. His funeral services were given by Olistus S. Cox at the White River Friends Church. His obituary states that his family (a wife, 2 sons and a daughter) morned his death as well as his friends of the G.A.R.
