Margaret Coates Anderson's Succession she owned land in Jackson Parish,LA .
This information is from Census, deeds and Estate of Austin M. Coates,
Succession of Margaret Coates Anderson and Asa Anderson.

Hello...I am trying to find CAROLE LEA COATES. I do not know her date of
birth but I do know that in February of 1969 she was 20 years old at that
time.... I do not know where is is from but she was around the New Orleans,
Louisiana, area during February 1969. I feel that she may have been from
Louisiana and if not then one of the surrounding States. I know that she had
gone to College during 1968 but i do not know where.
Can anyone get a list of all of the CAROLE LEA COATES born in 1948 or if
you know her please contact me ...Thank You...Bonnie
I have located a Jeremiah Coates,43, b. TN in Johnson Co., IL in the 1860
Census. He has a 15 year old daughter, Sarah, b. in MO. The other children
on this census are born in IL. I'm trying to prove that Jeremiah is the
father of Mary Ann Coats b. 1840 in Smith Co., TN. Mary Ann is in an
adjoining county.
Jeremiah is found in Hill Co., TX in the 1880 Census, listed as J. Cotes, 66
b. TN. His parents from SC. On the same page of the census is the family
of Mary Ann (Coats) Cozart and her husband, W. A. Cozart. Also, Sarah,36 b.
MO, is identified as J. Cotes daughter on this census.
Sarah b. Aug age 54 b. MO is living with Mary Ann Coats and her husband
Willis Adams cozart in the 1900 Census of Eastland Co., TX.
Hal, Norma Lint is a descendant of Allen or Henry Coats from Boone County, Mo. You can contact Norma Lint at her
E-mail Address:
nlint(a)mwis.net
I am a descendant of Amos Coats and wife Nancy Jennings. Norma and I are trying to locate the parents of Allen and Amos to see if they are brothers. If you have any info you would like to share with me about Amos I would be happy to give you the descendant line for him.
Thanks and good luck.

Next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be....
Here are some facts about the 1500s: Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell , so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children-last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it-hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."
Houses had thatched roofs - thick straw - piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the dogs, cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof - hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could really mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they kept adding more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway -hence, a "thresh hold."
In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes the stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while - hence the rhyme, "peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."
Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man "could bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat."
Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with a high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning and death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous. Most people did not have pewter plates, but had trenchers, a piece of wood with the middle scooped out like a bowl. Often trenchers were made from stale bread which was so old and hard that they could be used for quite some time. Trenchers were never washed and a lot of times worms and mold got into the wood and old bread. After eating off wormy, moldy trenchers, one would get "trench mouth."
Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust."
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock them out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up - hence the custom of holding a "wake."
England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When re-opening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer".

There is also a Samuel B. Coats with land just south of Rev Will's dated 1855 also just west of that land dated 1837 and south of that land dated 1855 ... anyone looking for him?
Marshall's land is dated 1834 - so these last two could also be grandchildren of Rev Will's - Absolom and Samuel Coats
