General Notes (Wife)

Emeline Ray, born 24 Mar. 1835, married John W. Coates before 1850.
John W. Coates never returned from the War Between the States.

In 1874, she married Isaac West. In the special census of veterans in
1890, the name "Sol" was mentioned, so his name might have been,
or included "Sol"

On 16 May 1920, she died in Arjay, Bell Co. KY.

The death certificate states that she was buried at
Neal cemetery, but it is more likely that she was buried
at Straight Creek Cemetery, near Pineville, KY.

Children of John W. and Emeline Ray Coates were:

Joicey Susanna born about 1851
Margaret A. born about 1854
Agnus E. C. born about 1856
James Gabriel born 12 July 1856. GABRIEL, not Garrett.
Sarah Ann Rebecca Jane born about 1858
Lora C. born about 1860
John Washington born about 1863

Children of Isaac and Emeline Ray Coates West:

Samuel born about 1875
