Hi Charlotte,
Funny, I was just researching that on Sunday. I have a few photos, but I
was planning on doing a complete set soon. While doing the research I found
this great index for the county that refers to very large set of papers. It
turns out the papers are at my local library so I thought I had it easy.
When I tried to find an entry, the index no longer matches the volumes.
Nothing is ever easy in genealogy.
Thanks for passing it on,
Curt

Hi,
I noticed this notation and thought I would toss this out there. Utah
currently has a population that consists of about 62% who are Mormon (or LDS),
but only 41% that are active Mormons (those who attend church regularly).
Utah's history is full of non-Mormons including the first documented exploration of
it by Father Dominguez and Father Escalante (Catholic) who led an expedition
to find a northern route from Sante Fe, New Mexico to Monterey, California.
They led this expedition in 1776. The Grand Staircase Escalante National
Monument and several other land formations and even a town are named after Father
Escalante. Mormons first came to Utah in 1847, but non-Mormons began settling
in the 1860's due to mining (Kennecott Copper mine - [1863] the first and
largest open pit copper mine in the world) and the construction of the
Transcontinental Railroad ([1869] a golden spike was used to connect rails from the east
and the west at Promitory Point, Utah). Fort Douglas was established in 1862
and this brought in American soldiers to protect the lines of communication
and transportation running through Utah. All of these occupations brought a
diversity of people with different ethnic and religious backgrounds to Utah. A
beautiful Cathedral was built in 1899 in Salt Lake City called the Cathedral of
the Madeleine. It is one of a wide variety of religious establishments here
in Utah including a Buddist temple right here in my town of South Jordan.
Maybe this will be of some interest or help.
Lisa Johnson
South Jordan, Utah
In 1998 Charlotte posted that these were brothers and the sons of
William of King's Creek. Where did that come from? I did some checking,
and there are extensive land records in Robertson County, for William,
Barton and Benjamin, beginning in 1797 and ending in 1819. Nothing for
James. If James was from the western Tennessee area in the War of 1812,
then he had to be in Davidson, Robertson, or Sumner Counties. Maybe he
was over in Sumner with Wilson.
If you just google War of 1812, you will get more than you ever wanted
to know. Basically, some War Hawks, like Henry Clay and John C Calhoun
wanted to "annex Canada" which was then called British North America.
Henry Clay said that the Kentucky Militia could probably take care of it
in about 4 weeks. Daniel Webster kept a cooler head. When the New
Hampshire Militia backed off ( I don't think they wanted anything to do
with those French in Montreal), they kind of called off the war. They
had enough to do battling the Indians and removing them. However, if
we'd done it, in my opinion, it would have been a great thing. Think of
all that oil shale.
Well apparently this B.F. had two children that died in Utah as
well...in one he is called Franklin and shows he was born in
Tennessee....but same wife or mother of the deceased child as
B.F...that Barbara Jarman also has a death cert there looks like he
father was born in Wales...

Abstracted from http://www.umich.edu/~lawrace/disenfranchise1.htm
Techniques of Direct Disenfranchisement, 1880-1965
"Direct" disenfranchisement refers to actions that explicitly prevent people
from voting or having their votes counted, as opposed to "indirect"
techniques, which attempt to prevent people's votes from having an impact on
political outcomes (e.g., gerrymandering, ballot box stuffing, stripping
elected officials of their powers).
The 15th Amendment prohibited explicit disenfranchisement on the basis of
race or prior enslavement. So Southern states devised an array of
alternative techniques designed to disenfranchise blacks and, to a lesser
extent, poor whites. There were three broad, overlapping phases of the
disenfranchisement process. From 1868-1888, the principal techniques of
disenfranchisement were illegal, based on violence and massive fraud in the
vote counting process. Starting in 1877, when Georgia passed the cumulative
poll tax, states implemented statutory methods of disenfranchisement. From
1888-1908, states entrenched these legal techniques in their constitutions.
Here we explore the principal means of direct disenfranchisement, and the
attempts to use Federal law to prevent disenfranchisement, through 1965,
when the Voting Rights Act was passed. For the most part, until the advent
of the Civil Rights Movement in the 20th c., the Supreme Court acquiesced in
the methods used to disenfranchise blacks by gutting the Federal laws
enacted to protect blacks. Whenever it resisted, the Southern states
followed the motto "if at first you don't succeed. . . ."
Poll Taxes
Georgia initiated the poll tax in 1871, and made it cumulative in 1877
(requiring citizens to pay all back taxes before being permitted to vote).
Every former confederate state followed its lead by 1904. Although these
taxes of $1-$2 per year may seem small, it was beyond the reach of many poor
black and white sharecroppers, who rarely dealt in cash. The Georgia poll
tax probably reduced overall turnout by 16-28%, and black turnout in half
(Kousser, The Shaping of Southern Politics, 67-8). The purpose of the tax
was plainly to disenfranchise, not to collect revenue, since no state
brought prosecutions against any individual for failure to pay the tax. In
1937, a white man brought suit against Georgia's poll tax, alleging
violations of the 14th Amendment and the 19th Amendment (prohibiting
discrimination in the right to vote on account of sex). (Women not
registered to vote were exempt from the poll tax). The Supreme Court
rejected his arguments in Breedlove v. Suttles, 302 U.S. 277 (1937),
disingenuously claiming that it was unrelated to any attempt to
disenfranchise. It held that the poll tax was a legitimate device for
raising revenue, and that the 19th Amendment regulated voting, not taxation.
Although the 24th Amendment prohibited the poll tax in Federal elections,
even that wasn't enough to prevent a last-ditch attempt to burden the right
to vote with a tax. In Harman v. Forssenius, 380 U.S. 528 (1965), the Court
struck down a Virginia law requiring federal electors to file burdensome
paperwork if they did not pay a poll tax. It took the Voting Rights Act of
1965 to prohibit the poll tax in state elections. The Supreme Court
independently declared poll taxes an unconstitutional violation of the equal
protection clause of the 14th Amendment in Harper v. Virginia State Bd. of
Elections, 383 U.S. 663 (1966).

there is an Archibald Coates in these UT death certs - he was born in
Lanarkshire Scotland, in 1854 - his wife is Emma Jane Jenkins Coates,
his father was William Coats born in Scotland and his mother Elizabeth
Dick born in Scotland...Dick could also be spelled Dix in early
records...however, I'm not familiar with England or Scotish names in
the records...but I've seen the River Dix in KY I think it was also
spelled Dick or Dicks...
Anyone on the list with a connection to this group that has a male
surenamed Coates to join our DNA project...this could be a lot of
useful info here...

Ah, this is a nice database...following along the lines of MO...I just
checked a few Coats/Coates/Coate in here, a Frances Coats was living
in Wyoming but died in Salt Lake City...both death certs the party was
born in the last half of 1800s...a Charles Dee Coates was born in Utah
but his father was born in AL a Benjamin Franklin Coates; Charles'
wife was Barbara Jarman, Charles' mother was Rebecca Angeles born in
TX...

This news release was just sent out today..... In case anyone has Utah
ancestors..
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH—FamilySearch™, in conjunction with the Genealogical
Society of Utah and the Utah State Archives and Records Service
announced today that the state's free online index to death certificates
is now linked to original images of the historic documents. The
integration of the index with free digital pictures of the death
certificates issued from 1905 to 1954 by the state will open doors to
additional information for family historians and genealogists with Utah
ties. To search the index and view the certificates, users need to go to
http://historyresearch.utah.gov/indexes/index.html.
The online index to 250,000+ Utah deaths was created by the State Office
of Vital Records and Statistics and has searchable information limited
to the name of the deceased person, their date of death, sex, and where
they died. The Utah State Archives turned to FamilySearch to help them
get the digital images online. FamilySearch digitized the images and
provided the technology to link the images of the certificates to the
state's online index. The linking process was completed incredibly fast
for a project of this nature and magnitude—a few weeks. The names of
Utah's deceased are now very much alive, searchable, and viewable
online—and for free.
"There is so much more information of family history importance that can
be found on the certificate itself," said Glen Fairclough, processing
and reference archivist for the Utah State Archives. Before making the
certificates viewable online, Fairclough said patrons had to order
copies through the mail for a fee or visit the state archives office in
person.
"The value of viewing the image of the original death certificate is
that it saves you time, money, and provides rich genealogy data for the
family historian," said Paul Nauta, manager of public affairs for
FamilySearch. Captured on a death certificate are the names and birth
places of the deceased person's parents, place and date of the
decedent's birth, marital status, occupation, permanent residence, place
and date of burial, time of death, chief cause and contributory factors
of death, and if applicable, where illness was contracted and the
duration of the illness.
The user merely needs to type in an ancestor's name that died in Utah
between 1905 to 1954, and they will be directed to a brief summary of
the ancestor's death certificate with a link to view the original image.
Users need to simply click on the certificate image to see a larger,
high quality view of the original death certificate.
For more information about the FamilySearch digital image linking
technology or services, record custodians should contact Brad Wilkes,
wilkeswb(a)ldschurch.org.
FamilySearch is a nonprofit affiliate of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. It maintains the world's largest repository of
genealogical resources with vital records from over 110 countries,
territories and possessions. FamilySearch promotes family history
(genealogical) preservation and access efforts through the services of

John,
How much does the DNA test cost? Can you give me more information
please? My husband is the last male Coats/Coates in his generation. We
have a son and he has a son but I understand that it is better to test
the oldest living male. My husband's father was Clarence Alexander
(Stump) Coates, born 1882 in Brazos County, TX to Nat. A. and Mary Alice
(Allie) Bates Coats. Note that the "e" was added with C.A. Coates in
1882. Nat A. Coats served in the Wetumpka Light Guards from Elmore, old
Coosa County, Alabama during the Civil War. Nat. A. Coats' father was
Nathan Coats born 1818 and is buried in the Coats/Wall Cemetery 18 miles
north of Wetumpka, Alabama. We don't know where they came from or who
they are kin to.
Thank you,
Martha Coates

While searching in Green Co. Al., I found both James R and John R Coats
were buying and selling land in about 1823. The R's were doubly traced
on the originals. I think it is possible they were related. James R
would have been my James Robert and John R may have been John
Roseborough Coats, the grandfather of Odessa Coats Collins. I met
Odessa's brother, James in Cisco in 1993. He was about 6'2 with gray
hair and slim. Looked like a cowboy. If he had any male children and
grandkids, they may want to test. Coincidentally, there was a James
Alexander Coats and a John Alexander Coats, both in Texas in the 1800's.
John Alexander is my line, a son of John Webster. He went west from Ms.
after the "late unpleasantness", and settled in Cottonwood, Callahan
Co., Tx. Some Griffin's related to my great grandmother, then went out
to join him. One of the descendants was James Meade Griffin, who fought
in the 1st and 2nd world wars and became an Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of Texas. Both of my ancestors, James Robert, and John
Webster had a bunch of sons, so it's hard for me to understand why more
connections haven't been made by now. All those Coatses in Texas need to
test to make the connections.
Thanks for the link John. I finally subscribed to Ancestry, screaming,
kicking and clutching my pocket book. I realized it was the only game in
town with census and other online information I needed, as traveling was
not an option. One just has to remember their family trees should be
used for reference only unless sourced and of course checked.
Thanks for mentioning boundary lines. New researchers sometimes don't
think about that and end up giving up because they can't find their
ancestor in a specific area. Good info.
Still no one found for DNA on my Lewis. Maybe it isn't to be, but I am
still hoping.

This Wilson Coats that was in prison in TN was about 32 or so when he
died ...but he had a wound from the battle of Horseshoe Bend, that was
a battle in the War of 1812, so since he's not listed as a war of 1812
for TN, I suspect he is the Wilson Coats who was in the War of 1812
out of North Carolina...
But age may not be correct because he would only have been about 12 or
so in 1812...although I admit I do not know much about that particular
War...
