Ann Coats/Coates married Samuel Nye Barlow on April 23, 1815, according to Ann’s own testimony. She did not, however, state where they were married nor who her parents were.
Samuel was the son of Timothy Barlow and Elizabeth “Betsey” Smith; the family was enumerated in the 1810 and 1820 U.S. censuses in Ticonderoga, Essex Co., NY. Two Coates families were enumerated in Ticonderoga in the same censuses: William Coates and Mariane/Marvin Coates. Could either of these be Ann’s family?
Ann also stated that she and Samuel were married by “Esquire Arthur,” a justice of the peace. Francis Arthur is listed in the 1810 census in Ticonderoga; Francis Arthur appears again in the 1820 census in Ticonderoga, as do 3 additional Arthur family listings. Could there be a record of the Ann Coats – Samuel Nye Barlow marriage in (Ticonderoga,) Essex County, NY?
