I believe Henry Thomas Coats was born in Lauderdale County, Mississippi in 1864, not in 1860.

His father, William Coats shows up in Census for 1850, 1860 and 1870 in Lauderdale County, Mississippi. William Coats died after 12 Jul 1870 and before 2 Jul 1880 in Lauderdale County or Neshoba County, Mississippi.

William Coats and Tabitha COOKSEY Coats married in 1852 in Lauderdale County, Mississippi. Tabitha COOKSEY was born in Alabama. Tabitha COOKSEY Coats appears in Neshoba County, Mississippi in 1880 census after her husband, William Coats had died.
