Coats Bible Page

This detached bible page is held in another Bible which has a copyright date of 1873. Both have been handed down in the Coats family and are now in the possesion of Marsha Morten, 3rd great-granddaughter of Rev. William Coats.

The entries appear to have made by one hand and all at the same time which would indicate that the bible may have belonged to the son of Rev. William Coats: Wilson. The newer one may have belonged to Wilson's son Felix Grundy Coats or to his grandson Bethel Sims Coats.

The first name in the missing portion is John and the birth month is November. The second missing name is Wilson. A copy of this page was made into the newer bible mentioned above. The copy contains the missing names and months.
