1. | James COATS was born in 1838 in , , Indiana, USA (son of Sampson COATS and Susan UNKNOWN); and died. Notes: James Coate might be living with the Rueben Parker family in Liberty, Tipton, Indiana in the 1860 census. He was age 23 at the time. He might be the 24 year old living with the Ashley Schoulz family instead in Logan, Pike, Indiana in 1860. In the 1870 census, he might be the James H. Coats, age 32, whose wife was Francis and children were Sellie, Mary and Montovilla, all girls. They lived in Flat Rock, Bartholomew, Indiana. |
2. | Sampson COATS was born on 17 Dec 1790 in , , SC, USA (son of Big John COATS and Rachel WRIGHT); died on 5 Jul 1853 in , Greene, IN, USA; was buried in Marco Cemetery, Greene, IN, USA. Notes: Sampson and Susan might have also had a son named John. They moved from South Carolina to Lawrence Co., IN by 1820 as he was in the census for that county in 1820. His property is listed at W Sampson married Susan UNKNOWN on 13 Feb 1830 in , Lawrence, IN, USA. Susan was born on 7 Feb 1801; died in 1847 in , Greene, IN, USA; was buried in Marco Cemetery, Greene, IN, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
3. | Susan UNKNOWN was born on 7 Feb 1801; died in 1847 in , Greene, IN, USA; was buried in Marco Cemetery, Greene, IN, USA. Notes: Her name might be Carr. It is conjecture from the following reference in The Bedford Independent, Wednesday, March 28, 1860, "About the same time, Sampson COATS, brother-in-law to CARR, located on Indian Creek, near FISHER's mill pond, now owned by Col. BOONE, but no sign of habitation remains, except a few shrubby apple trees and some fragments of stones, so that saying is true, "The big fish eat up the little ones." Coats soon sold out and went to some other place, where he is perhaps yet living." Other sources have said her surname is Riley.

4. | Big John COATS was born before 1750 (son of Gentleman John COATE and Mary UNKNOWN); died in 1809 in , Newberry, SC, USA. Notes: YDNA now clearly indicates that Big John is the son of Gentleman John through 3 of Big John's descendants. No other descendants from any other Coats in our group have as much shared DNA and such a high probality that they are father and son. By estimated ages and place, this is likely also. Check out our YDNA group at http://www.ancestrees.com/henrycoatebabt1595ydnagroup.html that indicates they have a 97% chance of being closely related within 8 generations of descendants. That's as lovely a chart as you can get for YDNA probabilities between father and son of this time period for 37 points. At last, we finally know who Big John's father is! Big married Rachel WRIGHT before 1768. Rachel (daughter of John C. WRIGHT, * and Rachel WELLS, Minister) was born on 10 Nov 1747 in , Prince George, MD, USA; died on 2 Sep 1790 in , , SC, USA.

5. | Rachel WRIGHT was born on 10 Nov 1747 in , Prince George, MD, USA (daughter of John C. WRIGHT, * and Rachel WELLS, Minister); died on 2 Sep 1790 in , , SC, USA. Notes: At least one source says she married first to a John Hollingsworth, but this is thought to be a mix-up that comes from misinformation in Summers book.

8. | ![]() Notes: This Coate's group's lineage is proven back to Henry Coate "The Elder" b. abt 1595 who was the son of Marmaduke and Marie Somner Coate of Bridgeport and Curry Rivel England via a YDNA match to a cousin in Australia. We know from our Coats YDNA group that Gentleman John is absolutely a descendant from Samuel and Mary Saunder's Coate so the theory that his father is William is still reasonable. William was after all the only other son of Samuel and Mary Saunders Coate that ended up in South Carolina near the town of Newberry. We also know that his brother, Henry's sons as recorded in Quaker records do not account for any of William's sons. Gentleman married Mary UNKNOWN before 1754. Mary was born before 1735; died after 1799. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
9. | Mary UNKNOWN was born before 1735; died after 1799. Notes: By at least 10 autsomal triangulations with Rachel Dubois of Northern Liberties and her grandfather, Louis Dubois, we know that either this Mary's last name is Dubois or Gentleman John's mother's maiden name is Dubois. I have not been able to currently find a Mary Dubois of the correct age who is unmaried who could account for this Mary to explain the dna triangulations between Dubois and Gentleman John Coate.

10. | ![]() Notes: Much information can be gleaned about this family from a book by Algie I. Newlin entitled CHARITY COOK, A LIBERATED WOMAN, (Friends United Press, 1981). It is a biography of their daughter, Charity Cook, written and researched by a history professor. John married Rachel WELLS, Minister about 1737 in Hopewell M.M., Frederick, VA, USA. Rachel (daughter of Joseph WELLS and Rachel MARSH) was born on 3 May 1720 in All Hallows Parish, Anne Arundel, MD, USA; was christened on 12 Jul 1721 in Davidsonville, Anne Arundel, MD, US; died on 23 Dec 1771 in Bush River, Newberry County, South Carolina, USA; was buried in Newberry, Newberry County, South Carolina, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
11. | ![]() Notes: CD-100 says that Rachel's mother is named Rachel. This apparently comes from a Quaker baptismal record dated 12 July 1721 at All Hallow's, listing her father as Joseph Wells and his wife Rachel. In the Southern Friend, V. XVI, 1994, Richard Kelly states that the entry in the All Hallow's book was in error and they simply repeated daughter Rachel's name by accident. He also finds error with the date of birth listed for her in Quaker records as occurring on 3(May)/27/1720. This would have been before Joseph and Margaret were married. (C-575)
