This is a picture of my Great Great Great Grandfather. He was living in England in the early 1800's working as an apprentice to a tailor. He was dissatisfied with his lot there and had the opportunity to come to America as an indentured servant. He sailed to the new world and ended up in Montreal, Canada where he worked off his time and became a free man. He got married, and he and his wife came to America and lived out their lives in Wisconsin, having several Children. One of his sons was named Alonzo Coates who took part in the Civil War and later came to the state of Washington. Alonzo married and they had several children.
