Benjamin Coats did have a son named Wilson but he would have been born around 1810; It's possible that this Wilson had a son named Wilson.I know very little about Wilson except that he was named in Benjamin's will in 1850 and later when the will probated around 1867/9 there was no mention of him. In the 1840 census of Smith co., TN on page 281a, a Wilson Coats, age 20-30, has 2 sons, one under 5 and over 5 and one daughter under 5.Wilson is living next door to Benjamin Coats. Wilson must have moved before the 1850 census in Smith Co. Benjamin Coats is my ggggrandfather.Good luck in your search.
