1864 - 27 = 1837, so Thomas J. Coats born about 1837, Enlisted on 1/18/1864 at Dardanelle, AR as a Private.

(Minor applied for a pension in 1867) so it looks like he could of been a widow at the time of his death.

Thank you Mr. George. I do not know who this Man is yet in my Ancestry tree, But if he lived in-or-around Dardanelle
Arkansas from 1840 to date. he is my Grand-Mothers kinfolk.
