• Notes

  Isaac was possibly married in the same church, Christ Church, as his parents on Aug 4, 1788 to Mary Eyres. If so wife was his first cousin, once removed. Their common ancestor was John Coats and Mary Hale. Anne Mayea, a descendant, has a 1900's family tree that lists this Isaac as the son of John and Mary Hale Coats instead which would make he and his wife first cousins and of the same generation. Isaac wrote a will in 1790 (U, p. 49). In that will he names his wife Mary, daughter Harriet and father-in-law, Manuel Eyre. He, himself, is listed as a carpenter. (C-1680, 1686, E) Isaac was also the likely witness in the following record: PA Will Book W page 130, Will of Mary Dutton-1786 she signed it - probated in 1791, she had land that bordered Coates Street-and Coates Alley-this is the Northern Liberties area, daughters Mary Eyres; Sarah - she also referes to a daughter Mary Lydia Eyres; Sarah Browne;-later she referes to her three beloved children, Mary, Lydia and Sarah; Witnesses Isaac Coats, Charles Bonnell and R. Whitehead. His transcribed will by Charlotte Coats Siercks is as follows: PA Will Book U p. 491 #193 Isaac Coates, of Northern Liberties, city of Philly, House Carpenter, wife Mary Coats, daughter Harriett Coates, father in law, Manuel Eyre, Esquire, signed March 4, 1790 Witnesses: Thomas Norton, R. Whitehead, Jacob Hoffman, probated May 7, 1790. To support the fact that this Isaac is the one married to Mary Eyers, his mother in her will names her good friend Manuel Eyers (who was the father to Mary).
