Seeing no followup with specifics ,here's the best hunch i can give you .John A. Coan b.nc moved to Tallapoosa Co al by 1850 ,served CSA ,came home in bad condition ,John aqnd wife dying shortly thereafter,leaving kids
Susan A. b. 1844 ,who m. Peter Baker
Harriett J. b. 1847 who m. Geo.S. Knowles
[my grgrandther],who came to B'ham Al area withRRto open iron-ore mines].That's how the orphaned Coan kids got to be in the St.Clair & Jefferson County area post-war.
Benjamin J. Coan b. 1850
James T. Coan b.1853
Thomas J.Coan
and daughter Sarah A. Coan.
This is the only trail i can put you on ,for now .best of luck , tom knowles
