Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Since many Coats families tie into this line (particularly those out of the
Miami Co. OH area), I wanted to pass this along. Back in April 2009 the Jay
Family Association (JFA) published an article to its membership pertaining
to the following....
"DNA has now confirmed that Thomas JOY of Hingham, Massachusetts is not an
immigrant ancestor to the JAY family in America."
This article has now been moved and posted on the public section of the JFA
website at www.jayfamily.org . There is a link in the menu at left that
will take you directly to the article. If you have additional questions you
may email me directly.
In addition, the Jay family DNA project and other related family genealogy
will be discussed at length at the annual Jay Family Reunion scheduled for
October 16-17, 2009 in Troy, OH. The reunion is FREE to all interested...we
have several cemetery trips and genealogy presentations slated. More info
is available on the gathering at www.jayfamily.org . Come and meet your
cousins and have a great time. You won't be disappointed.

I was wondering if anyone on the list could offer further information on
these Coats? Or the SAPP name? My grgrgrandmother was Cicily Coats from
Rowan County N.C. who came to Al in 1830's. My grgrgrandfather Jacob
Martin married a Sapp girl, as far as I know, in S.C. Thsnks for any
information. Stella
