Subject: SC Coats/Sion Coats From: Larry D. Hamilton Coats Date: December 03, 1998 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Larry D.
