      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."

      Obituary of Hattie M. Coatney

      Hattie Magnolia Coatney was born on a farm near Scottsburg, Indiana. She was the daughter of William Morgan and his wife, the former Mary Townsend. At the age of two she lost her father to sickness due to his service in the Civil War. A few years later the family moved to Boone County, and then to Indianapolis. Later they returned to Scott County where, at the age of 18, Hattie was married to Benjamin Coatney, of Scott County. After her two oldest children were born, Mrs. Coatney and her husband moved to Arkansas, staying there seven years. In 1895 they moved to Indianapolis where the two youngest children were born. Mrs. Coatney spent the rest of her life in Indianapolis. She died at her home April 28, 1937, lacking one day of being 71 years old.

      Mrs. Coatney was a great lover of flowers. During the later years of her life she was nearly always to be seen in her garden except in the winter. One year she was awarded a prize in a competition for beautiful yards.

      Mrs. Coatney is survived by a half brother, George Johnson, of Indianapolis and her oldest and youngest children, William and Albert. Her two other sons, Charles and George died some years ago.
