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.

abt 1853. I have a copy of marriage certificate. He apparently died before 1860.
I have a tin type picture of her and her 3 sons and daughter (John, Jesse, and
Robert, and the girl). John Coats Came to Texas riding a horse in 1880 and met
his wife to be in Montague Co., she was Helena Elenor Whisenant.
