Biography
Died between 1853 and 1856. May have been 29 when she died.
Per Sanford Etheridge: It is true that Mary was "disowned" by her father Hawkins Womack for marrying this "lowly" overseer John Coats (whether overseer for Hawkins Womack or for somebody else is not known). Mary (Womack) Coats died at or soon after the birth of her child Nancy Charlotte Coats (b. 5 Apr 1853), and John Coats raised the baby by himself, keeping the bottle warm in his bosom at night.
