Elisha COATS

(1710 - September, 1807)

While you are talking all these different lines, keep your eyes open for my elusive Elisha Coats. He was, supposedly, born in Virginia, married twice, first wife Unknown, second Celia (Furr) Hinds.

He had four known children Balis (b.17Aug1798), Delilah (b.c1800) these are by first marriage and born in Loudoun Co., Virginia. Joseph (b.28Dec1802), Agnes (b.9Jul1805) also born in Loudoun Co., Virginia these are children of Elisha and Celia (Furr). Moved to Garrard Co., Kentucky shortly after the birth of Agnes. Celia Coats appears in the 1810 Garrard Census. The family remained in Kentucky until about 1826.

Delilah married John Burton in Garrard Co. 4 Dec 1818, Agnes married William Cook 29 Nov 1819, Balis married Margaret Higbee, probably in Kentucky their first child was born in Kentucky. Joseph did not marry until the family reached Fountain Co., Indiana.

Balis and Delilah were in Henry Co., Indiana while Joseph and Agnes went with their mother to Fountain Co. Joseph married Serena Delia White in Fountain Co. 24 Dec 1829. Joseph had one child, a son, William Bolivar Coats, who married Elizabeth Martha Lucas. Bolivar had nine children, sons, Joseph Lucas, Charles Pitt, Elmer Elsworth, Frank Whitney and daughters, Emma Selina, Mary Edna, Serena Eudora, Anna Lauretta and Hazel.

My grandmother was the daughter of Charles Pitt and Sarah Olive (Campbell) Coats. Sorry, I don't qualify for the DNA study.
