They were Quaker - i have the documentation for that and all of their children down to Wm and Ben are listed in the Quaker records - Wm and Benjamin are listed in their father’s will in Kershaw County South Carolina .. which indicates that they left the Quaker faith before William was born … also family story’s say that Wm was in the American Revolution - there is a Wm in the Revolution but Not sure he is our Wm … I have traced a connection back to Frederick County MD for this group of Coats a Charles Coats wife Sophia - Charles had a son name Wm but his wife was named Mary … and I found no documentation in either MD or New England that he might have come from … again family stories says we were related to a James Coats out of PA who was Quaker and a carpenter —- I have not thoroughly research PA the old land records are pretty sketchy … but Bucks county might have more info …
Rev William Coats was born in Either Newberry County on Kings Creek or Kershaw County SC -
Charles Coats wife Sophia was from Frederic County MD … there is documentation that shows their connection to William Coats Wife Frances of SC
Not sure Charles is the father of William w Frances but he is the father of William wife Mary in MD deed records support that … we don’t know the last names of either Mary or Frances …
William Coats wife Frances are the parents of Rev William Coats wife Nancy Baker William Coats wife Nancy Baker are the Parents of
my William Coats married first to Patsy Tracey and second to Cena Callaway McLauglin Coats
Rev William Coats (d 1836) and Nancy Baker died in MO Callaway county - he left a will naming all of his children
Parents William Coats wife Frances died in Kershaw County SC he died in 1784 and also left a will in Kershaw County SC
Rev Will and Nancy’s son William died in Henry County Mo
And yes the Agees married into this line …
But there is no documentation to connect the SC Coats’ in Newberry/Kershaw County SC to the Coats’ in Charleston SC but there is document to connect the Newberry/Kershaw Coats to the Charles Coats wife Sophia in Frederic County MD
Early research made some leaps of faith - I am not willing to do that - I need at least direct documentation or documentation you can make an inference from and there just isn’t anything to make that connection to the group in SC ..
Gets confusing but I am confident in my research .. hope this helps …
In fact we also made other corrections to Coats in MO zone was a Jeremiah Coats they had connected to a MO Jeremiah and turns out the Jeremiah connected to my groups was in IN or IL and there was documentation to prove his connection …
So the documentation is there but it does take a lot of digging and connecting with other researchers on the web …
Did this help ? More than will to share my research this you
I do have a book available but William Coats before and after Kings Creek but I have found other research since putting that book together
LuLu Book Store - Charlotte Coats https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/cherokeebasketweaver
I am however willing to share whatever info you need …
Anyway Charles son was William his wife was named Mary … all info taken from the deed records in Frederic County MN
But we can’t connect this William wife Mary in MD as the same William who was married to Frances in SC but it is possible Frances was a second wife …
William and France were Quakers But none of the other Coats in SC a show up in the Quaker Records
I do believe the Quaker records could be of some help but most of the New England Records are not yet published and the microfilm in a lot of cases are really bad …
Hope this helps … 😉😉😉
We are not sure if Frances was a maybe a second wife -
William is connected via deed records etc to the Coats in Kershaw County and he had land in Newberry SC on Kings creek …
Earlier researchers have connected William also to a Charles Coats w Sophia found in deed records of Frederic County MD
Notley Coats of this group shows up along with James Coats on the MD tax records living if I recall correctly with Charles Coats MD and both James and Notely are in Kershaw County SC
A Charles Coats shows up in Kershaw County SC also and on a deed record as witness for William - not sure if he is a brother or the father although to dat I’ve not found a land record in MD where Charles there sells his land … but those MD deed records also that Charles had a son named William but his wife was in the dower land recarda as Mary … so not sure if this is the same William in SC … but those land records have not been thoroughly researched …
All this dates prior to 1772/90s
I also have not been able to connect the MD Charles with any of the other Coats in that area - so I’m thinking as my dad thought that there is a connection in Bucks County PA to a James Coats who was a Carpenter
Anyway I sen all of my research to the NEGH Society in Boston MA
I also have a couple of books on the Coats - one of my line and the other of all the Coats records I found in Newberry SC - the records I found for Charles and William in MD I found after I put the book together …
Any questions let me know …

The US Civil War January Challenge is to connect US Civil War Soldiers for the January Connect-a-Thon. This year will be a twist of what I usually do. Instead of you choosing a "Surname Letter", you will be choosing from a block of soldiers whom I've already screened that show they have family to connect. Each soldier has a connection to one or more of his immediate family--parents, siblings, spouses, children, on their profile. Whether you work on one soldier or your whole block of soldiers, it's one step closer in our goal to connect each of our US Civil War Soldiers. The goal is to make sure all these soldiers are connected at least by one or two degrees. You can sign up now by clicking this link: US Civil War Sign-up Chart
This is the time for the 2023 annual check in with members of the US Southern Colonies Project. Have you been active during the last six months in this Project? Note that it is a Wikitree requirement to respond to the US Southern Colonies Check-ins. Please reply to this message by clicking the reply button below this message, to post your answer. I look forward to hearing from you..
Many thanks,

Thank you LaMyra for participating in the US Civil War Challenge. You completed 307 profiles during the January Connect-a-Thon. There were 27 of us who signed up for the Challenge, completing 6,480 profiles.
The US Civil War February Challenge will be to create profiles for those soldiers who died during the Battle of Shiloh on the 7th and 8th of April 1862. If you're interested in joining another challenge, check out the US Civil War Challenge Page on February 1st.
Thank you again. Pam
Here's the link to the G2G question: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1506578/us-civil-war-january-2023-challenge
I Hope you'll join the fun.
We had eight+ members who participated in connecting 45 Generals, only three of the Generals still show they didn't connect beyond the 1st level of family. Norman Jones won the first Project Challenge Badge, his choice for the October challenge is connecting more Generals. Thank you again LaMyra for joining the September Challenge, I hope to see you in the October Challenge. Pam Kreutzer, US Civil War Project Leader
Thanks for your help, regards, Margaret, Categorization project volunteer.

It is time for the semi-annual check in for June, 2022 with members of the US Southern Colonies Project. Have you been active during the last six months? Note that it is a requirement to respond to the US Southern Colonies Check-ins. Please respond to this message by clicking the reply button below this message, to post your answer. I look forward to hearing from you..
Many thanks,

Since you asked what you could do for the project, I looked at your contributions. Profile such as this https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Morton-1188 need the Southern Colonies sticker on the biography. You post the sticker below the Biography header, then SAVE. Here is the page for stickers https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:US_Southern_Colonist_Sticker
You might also check the unsourced profiles for Southern Colonies, to research and add sources to any profile.
umm, silly question I'm not good yet at the profile numbers and don't even know mine. SAD, lol Could you tell me where i can print the numbers with the names to have for reference??? Thank you, Jackie Brumble Mills
It's not very printer-friendly, but the only way I can think of is to use Wikitree Plus to generate a report. Wikitree + is different from Wikitree and it is what people use for getting reports for Data-doctoring, error suggestions and the marathon events. But you can use it for personal reports too.
So, try this: https://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm?report=srch2&WikiTreeID=Brumble-81&Generations=8&OnlyBlood=1
Then you can edit the parameters on the left to change the starting person, the # of generations you are looking at or limit it to just direct ancestors. You are Brumble-81. There's not a lot of Brumbles.
This is the semi-annual polling for the US Southern Colonies Project. This check-in with members is to see if you have been active in the last six months in this project and want to remain a member of US SC?
Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the US Southern Colonies Project that you respond to these check-ins.
I look forward to hearing from you.. Many thanks,
Mary, Project Coordinator, - Membership US Southern Colonies Project

Thanks for taking responsibility for Orphaned Profiles. It looks like you are already doing the things recommended by the After Adopting Orphans FAQ. We really appreciate you becoming the caretaker of profiles!
Debi
Since Eowyn provided the major links in her email, I'm dropping by with the other main one you'll need. This will take you to the state links for the suggestions that need to be fixed. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:DBE_Errors_By#East_North_Central Click on the state you want to work on and it will bring up a huge chart of suggestions. If you have any question about how things work or if there's any issues, drop a note in the Team chat or PM me. And the most important thing is...have fun!
Go Team MO!!

Prudence Parker was born in 1606 in Plymouth, England. <ref>This year of birth is just a guess to assist in differentiating him from others of different eras. The place is a guess as well based on the fact that William was in Plymouth for his adulthood.</ref>
Was there a source you were going to add to confirm the 1606 year and location? If not it should say "about" as it did.

My name is Sarah and I’m the new Project Leader for The Native Americans Project. This is your project check-in letter. I would love to hear back from you about your current Native American research interests and project related activity.
Thank you,

I currently am adding profiles for the passed signers of the Cherokee Speakers Roll and other notable Cherokees as I see them announced and do try to trace them back as far as I can, but I do hope that other descendants, relatives or project members will recognize where they belong and help. I also add other NAs I find interesting when their death makes the news. I have worked on Brian Moss, killed in 9/11 and Agnes Pilgrim, co-founder of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. There was a gg-grandaunt that married a Wyandotte, so I've done a fair amount of work on them too.
A while back, I started going through the Principle Chief free space page with the goal of making sure they all had linked profiles. I left a few of the oldest ones undone as I thought they may already have profiles under some strange version of their name that I couldn't recognize, so Kathie may want to review that page. I think there are still two or three that need profiles or linked. The page itself could stand a review, I think. I'm not sure that everyone there belongs there. There may need to be some other pages created for deputy chiefs, old settler chiefs, military 'chiefs', etc. Wikitree gets a bit too unwieldy for me with all its categories, projects, pages, and stickers. Anyway, as a result of this, Chief Thompson has become a pet interest.
Thank you for your participation in October’s 2020 Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.
Keep up the great work!

If you have any questions or concerns not covered here, stop by our chat page! Most importantly, have fun!
I see that you have a number of Blythe profiles with the Trail of Tears category connected. There has been a recent update to that category making it a "High Level" category and creating a Cherokee Trail of Tears subcategory. Please consider updating these profiles by replacing Category:Trail_of_Tears with Category:Cherokee_Trail_of_Tears.
There are lots of Meltons and Arnolds in the SW AR in Columbia and Lafayette Cos.
