1. | Amie Anne COATE was born on 25 Mar 1735 in Bethlehem, Hunterdon, NJ, USA (daughter of John COATE and Esther DOUGHTY); died on 19 Nov 1765 in Springfield, Burlington, NJ. Notes: She apparently died when her youngest child was just a few months old as his birthday (Joseph Gardiner) was the 5th day of the 7th month of 1765. (C-296) Amie married John GARDINER in 1752. John was born in 1730; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] Family/Spouse: John GARDNER. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
2. | John COATE was born on 8 May 1699 in , Bucks, PA (son of Samuel COATE, * and Mary SAUNDERS); died before Sep 1751 in Kingwood, Hunterdon, NJ, USA. Notes: John Coate received the tract of land across from "Wells Ferry" that crossed the Delaware River to the Province of Pennsylvania from his father Samuel in his will. He applied for and received a license from Gov. Burnet to operate a ferry in Amwell township, Hunterdon Co., NJ on his side of the Delaware on Apr 30, 1726. He is listed as owning a hotel at this crossing too. ("Ferry Tracts in Pennsylvania and New Jersey", p.602) In 1728, he sold 200 acres of this tract of land to John Purcell and another 30 acres on Augst 4, 1732. This same tract when resold in 1732 includes a course described as "a post standing by the Kings Road that leads to the ferry over the aforesaid River Delaware to John Wells." (C-1542) By 1732, he was listed as living in Bethlehem Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ. (It was Bethlehem Twp. through at least 1741, then Kingwood and is now Franklin Township.) His property was a couple miles from Quakertown, NJ. It is likely that land that Josoph R. Mathews lived on according to "The Jerseyman". He no longer lived on it by 1743. The 1732 deed refers to a post in William Coates and in Henry Coates land (his brothers' land) (C-1499) Both he and Henry were members of Kingwood Friends Quaker Meeting. He voted in the 1738 elections for John Emley and Benj. Smith and was listed as living in Amwell Twp. at that time. He did not vote for a Jno. Coate also running in that election. By 1741, he is listed as a freeholder in Bethlehem Twp. , NJ again. That means that he owned at least 50 acres, cultivated at least 10 of them or if in a burrough, that he owned at least 3 acres and a home. (C-1824) John's death date is probably 1751. John Coate, Sr., Tavern Keeper of Kingwood Twp. left his estate to wife Esther, son Henry and other unnamed children in his will dated May 3, 1751. It was probated on Sept. 3, 1751. It is transcribed here by Charlotte Coats. "John Coate, May 5, 1751, of Kingwood Township, Hunterdon Co., tavern keeper; will of. Wife, Esther. children spoken of, but not by name, except son Henry, who and his mother are made executors. Witnesses-Nathaniel Leforge, James Brooks, John Simcock, sr. Proved Sept 10, 1751; Sept 3, 1751, inventory 368.16.3 pounds, incl. books; a silver spoon; bounds and book debts, 320 pounds; made by John Mullinner and Nathaniel Leforge. Calendar of New Jersey Wills, Vol III, 1751-1760" (C-1p.166, 296, E) Bible records for this family exist in a Bible published in Edinburgh by Alexander Kinciad in the 1770's or 1780s. All the dates in it for this family were written in one hand, years after the dates actually occurred. (C-296) According to one Public Family Tree at ancestrees, John was born in Hempstead, Queens, New York instead. This is not where I've found the family living before at all, but am including it for further study. John married Esther DOUGHTY on 22 Jul 1727 in Amwell Twp., Hunterdon, NJ, USA. Esther (daughter of Jacob DOUGHTY and Amy WHITEHEAD) was born on 17 Aug 1708 in Amwell Twp., Hunterdon, NJ, USA; died after 7 Apr 1742 in Kingwood, Hunterdon, New Jersey, USA; was buried before 1743.

3. | Esther DOUGHTY was born on 17 Aug 1708 in Amwell Twp., Hunterdon, NJ, USA (daughter of Jacob DOUGHTY and Amy WHITEHEAD); died after 7 Apr 1742 in Kingwood, Hunterdon, New Jersey, USA; was buried before 1743. Notes: When Esther has her estate administered in 1742, a Samuel is the executor. This Samuel couldn't be her son who was still a child but could be her brother-in-law.

Notes: We have several cousins who descend from different sons of Samuel in our YDNA group to prove our descent from Samuel Coate, b. 1670! See these findings at: http://www.ancestrees.com/henrycoatebabt1595ydnagroup.html Samuel married Mary SAUNDERS on 6 Jan 1695 in Falls M.M., Bucks, PA, USA. Mary (daughter of John SAUNDERS, * and Mary FARLEY) was born on 24 Jun 1672 in of, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA; died in 1733 in Falls, Hunterdon, New Jersey, United States.

6. | Jacob DOUGHTY died after 1727 in Quakertown, Hunterdon, NJ. Notes: Jacob Doughty was one of the first, if not the first Quaker to settle in Quakertown, NJ. He owned land there previous to 1727. John Stevenson's deed record of that year adjoined land owned by Jacob Doughty. Samuel Large purchased some of Jacob Doughty's original 1,212 acres around 1729. Jacob married Amy WHITEHEAD before 1702. Amy was born on 7 Aug 1679; died before 1 Aug 1742 in , Hunterdon, NJ, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
7. | Amy WHITEHEAD was born on 7 Aug 1679; died before 1 Aug 1742 in , Hunterdon, NJ, USA. Notes: In her will she names, daughter, Esther Coat (who was the wife of John Coate), and Executor Samuel Coat. The Samuel, I can't place since known Samuel's that are related to John Coat, husband of Esther, are either too young or dead in 1742. (C-1006) Here is a summary of that record. Name: Samuel Coat Description: Executor Date: 7 Apr 1742Prove Date: 1 Aug 1742BookPage: F:305Remarks: Amy Dougherty, Doughty. Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Widow. April 7, 1742. August 1, 1742.

8. | John COATE, * was born about 1641 (son of Henry COATE, of Hambridge and UNKNOWN); died on 29 Feb 1700 in Kingsbury, Somersetshire, ENG. Notes: We now have absolute proof that we descend through John's father Henry with another YDNA tester in our Coats Surname Project at FTDNA. This cousin descends from a different son of Henry's that ends up being forced to migrate to Australia. Thank you, Australian cousins for helping to prove this line from 1595 to the present! John married Elizabeth HUMPHREYS on 29 Dec 1663 in Kingsbury M.M., Somerset, ENG. Elizabeth (daughter of Johanas (John) HUMPHREY and Joan) was christened on 11 Jul 1647 in , Somerset, ENG; died before 1686 in Kingsbury, Somerset, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
9. | Elizabeth HUMPHREYS was christened on 11 Jul 1647 in , Somerset, ENG (daughter of Johanas (John) HUMPHREY and Joan); died before 1686 in Kingsbury, Somerset, England. Notes: Her name is definitely Elizabeth Humphreys. According to Quaker records when she is listed as the wife of John, her birthdate is given as July 7, 1647. She is listed as the mother of John's children in the 1660's in Somerset Co., England. Her surname is proven to be Humphries because of the following extracts from Minute Book 1 of Illchester M.M. in county Somerset, England. "15/12/1668 7th minute, from Kingsbury Meeting, "That Thomas Budd and George Taylor do again go and visit James Humprheys and Elizabeth Coate, his sister, and in God's love, warn them again to clear their conscience by their obedience to the truth, and that they no longer absent or withdraw themselves from the assemblies of God's people." 25/12/1668, "That Thomas Budd and George Taylor do again go and visit James Humprheys and Elizabeth Coate, his sister ...and that Elizabeth, as she is in a capacity, come to the Friend's Monthly or give forth a testimony against her being married by a priest."

Notes: According to Triangulations I have with both the Sanders/Saunders of Maine and Massachusetts and this Sanders/Saunders of Massachusetts, these two groups are related. Some of the children of one might apply to the children of the other instead. John married Mary FARLEY in 1671 in Billerica, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA. Mary (daughter of George FARLEY, * and Christian Beatrice BIRTHS) was born in Feb 1647 in Billerica, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA; died on 31 Aug 1712 in of, Billerica, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA.
