COATS, Susannah B. ²

  General Notes:

Bess Pearson, Steve Pearson's grandfather's second wife, believes that Susannah's middle name began with a B. Susan joined the same church as several of her Uncles and family, the Greenville Creek Church on Aug. 20, 1849 in Newberry Co., Miami Co., Ohio. This was when she was approximately 15 years of age and she is listed as the daughter of John in these records. There is a Nancy Coats that joins at the same time, though her parents or spouse are not listed to be able to place her correctly in the family. She could be an older sister of Susannah who would account for one of the unknown daughters of John from census records. Susannah and her husband Silas lived in Darke Co., Ohio and attended Sugar Grove Church which is no longer standing. Sugar Grove might have been in York Twp., Darke Co., Ohio as there is an area by that name in that township. They were not buried where they attended church. ^{4 5}

Susannah married Silas Benjamin PEARSON on Sep 8, 1859 in , Darke, OH, USA.^{1 2} (Silas Benjamin PEARSON was born on Aug 11, 1834 in , Miami, OH, USA,^{1 2} died on Sep 1, 1906 in , Darke, OH, USA ² and was buried in Shooks Chapel Cemetery, Wabash Twp., Darke, OH ⁴.)
