I am a ggg grandson of this couple via their son, Hardy, to grandson John Coats, to ggrandson Arch, to my dad J. C., to me. Does anyone out there know the maiden name of Penelope, and anything about her family?

Also, would like to know how the name "Coats" became the middle name of their grandson? Any ideas. John Coats Durham came to Montague Co., Texas, in 1880. His mother Susan Rich Durham came later. They are buried in the Union Cemetery, Montague Co., Tx., side by side. I will be glad to share what I have with anyone. Thanks for the help in advance.
