This may be old news to many out there, but I am pursuing research into 
the ancestry of a William Coats(liv. 1778-1815, Rowan Co. NC/d. c. 
1923-9 in Lincoln Co. TN. Several of us that are tracing this line 
believe that he was born in SC c. 1750-5. He had the following children:
Wiley, Betsey, Tildy, Patsy, Thomas, Frances, John, Solomon, and Sion. 

We also conjecture that his father was a John/Thomas/Sion(???), but we 
can't be for certain. In any event, It is distinctly possible that 
William had a brother, Sion, who m., in succession, two sisters, Sarah 
and Mary Perry. This Sion would have been b. c. 1757 in SC. 

Some have thought that William and Sion both were 
descendants(grandsons?)of a Joseph Coats(b.c. 1705-10)who m. Elizabeth 
Ann Marr, probably in SC. And this Joseph is believed to have been the 
son of a Thomas Coats, b.c. 1670-7 in or near Glasgow, Scotland, by his 
wife, Sarah Cramer. 

Anyone who has info on any or all of these names is urged to get in 
contact with me. Any help would be appreciated.
