• Notes

  Here is a timeline of John's life. He is the ancestor of Steve Pearson's Coate lineage. 1796 or 1804 Born in SC 1820 Probably the John Sr. Coats living in Union Twp., Miami Co., OH somewhat close to several sons of Marmaduke Coate Jul 3 or 9/23 1826 Marries Patsy Birely 1827 In Tax Lists for Newberry Twp., Miami Co., OH 1830 In Census for Newberry Twp., Miami Co., OH listed as Jr. "John Coats Jr is living with one male between 0 to 5, two males between 5 to 10, one male between 30 to 40, one female between 0 to 5, one female between 10 to 15, and lastly one female between 20 to 30." He lived two doors from his wife's parents. 1834 Daughter Susannah born in Ohio (d. 1912 in OH, m. Silas Pearson) 1840 In Census for Newberry Twp., Miami Co., OH1843 He and wife are charter members of the Greenville Creek Church of Christ. There is an adjoining graveyard where they might be buried, but no gravestone exists for them there. 1850 He and his family are living in Newberry Twp., Miami Co., OH in the 1850 census records, page 404. John Coats, 54, S.C., farmer, Martha, 48, VA., Susan, 16, Ohio William, 12, Ohio, George, 10, OH, Mark, 8, OH, Hijah, 6, Ohio (E) Brother George is also living in that same township. Neither had any value listed under the real estate column and neither are in the deed records for Miami Co., Ohio suggesting that they didn't own their land. (E) (C-1630)1864 His estate (in which there was no land) took place in Darke Co., Ohio. His administrator was appointed Oct. 10, 1864. His estate record filed on Nov. 12, 1864 is short because he obviously was quite poor. It is quoted and summarized by Steve Pearson and was available at Garst where it had been sent from it's original recording. ("There being no property of any kind whatever to set off to the widow Martha Coats ( there being no minor children ) we certify that she will need, and was set off to her for one years maintenance in money the sum of, Two Hundred Dollars $(200)" ( then signed by the three appraisers ) then it goes on to say: "There being no personal estate of any kind whatever belongs to said estate except a claim on the united states, under the bounty act of 1861 and back pay allowed to said decedent in his lifetime ( but not paid ) an recount? of the services and death of Hijah Coats in the military services of the United States and we do appraise said claim at one hundred and thirty nine dollars..." The administrator of the estate was D.S. Davenport. I safely assume this to have been John's son-in-law, David S. Davenport who married daughter Margaret Coat(e)(s).
