• Notes

  She was born in South Carolina according to her son, John Coates 1880 census records. She is living on Dec. 2, 1850 when the census was taken in Greene Co., IL but is deceased by the 1860 census. I have seen her death date as 3/1849, bs obviously has to be wrong as she was on the census in December of that year as well as having another son in 1852.
