      Donald Gordon "Don" Coatney:
      Most of the information that concerns the Coatney family, especially information concerning the families related to the marriage of Archibald Coatney and Mary McIntosh, including names, dates, places, census reports, documents, photos, and stories, is from the Don Coatney Archives.
      Don Coatney: "My father Albert Edison Coatney was born in 1902 and in his writing has referred to William J. Johnson as "Buffalo Bill" Johnson. In 1888 William J. Johnson along with his wife Mary Eveline Townsend Morgan Johnson and my Grandfather Benjamin Harrison Coatney with his wife Hattie Magnolia Morgan and their two young sons moved from Indiana to Arkansas living in Perla, Malvern, Hot Springs and possibly other areas. Soon a couple of my Grandfather's brothers, Charles Edward Coatney and George Combe Coatney, joined them there. They stayed until 1895 (leaving in somewhat of a hurry as Benjamin had heard the rumor that the constable was after him for committing the crime of taking pictures for profit on a Sunday). They moved to Indianapolis, but I am not sure if the Johnson's came with them."
      Some information about Mary Eveline Townsend entered the Don Coatney Archives via Rebecca Barnett.

      "I know that William J. and Mary Johnson left Indiana and moved to
      Arkansas as I have documentation placing them there in the 1890's
      and Mary died there in 1901. I believe the children returned to
      Indiana and lived in the Indianapolis area after the death of
      Mary. I do not know if William returned to Indiana with them. I
      recall my father visiting "Aunt Bell" in Morgantown, Indiana in
      the mid 1950's."
