John L. Coley was born about 1858 in Texas; and died.
Notes:
Wynema McGrew shows he was born in Mississippi, but questions how this would be possible. At the time of the 1860 census, he was living with his parents in Precint 2 of Robertson County, Texas, listed as 2 and born in Texas. In 1880, he was listed as a laborer, age 22, born in Texas. He was still in Roberston County, Texas, in the home of E. D. and Emily Pruitt.
