• Notes

  If he is the son of George and Gracey Snead Coates, then he is likely to have 2 wives and other children. If so, he did not name the children of his first wife in his will below. Since his daughter Sarah was not born till 8 years after he married, it's likely he had other children by his second wife that died young. This looks to be his will.
