Notes:

He was age 82 in his burial record. He likely had a first wife as the marriage record I have for him indicates he did not marry until he was 31.

John married Elizabeth SHERRAD on 4 May 1769 in St. Peter And Paul, Muchelney, Somerset, England. Elizabeth was born before 1757 in Of Muchelney, Somerset, England; died in Feb 1805 in Of Muchelney, Somerset, England; was buried on 26 Feb 1805 in St. Peter And Paul, Muchelney, Somerset, England.

Notes:

She is probably the Betty Coate who died in 1805 in Muchelney.

Notes:

I am certain of his death date and theorize that he is the father and son of a John as he fits by age and place for both individuals.

Notes:

He is the likely grandfather of the John Coate who was born about 1738 in Muchelney. There were few Coates in this parish and they can all fit together in only the timeline presented matching first hand records. This line is from Park's book, page 222 (1994 reprint). It also should be noted that these bible records do not yet match baptismal records in Somerset, England. They are publishing over 7000 new records a day at this point in time though.

John had son Robert in Langport which is literally only 2 miles from Curry Rivel. He is highly likely to be a descendant of Marmaduke and Marie Somner or one of his siblings in Curry Rivel. Marmaduke and Marie had a son Henry whose name is carried down in this John's descendants.
