| 1401 | He lived in house 76 in the 1869 Neviczke census. | VOVCSIK, Gyorgy (I9782)
|
| 1402 | He lived in Northumberland Co. PA in 1810. | HARP, Jonathan (I7629)
|
| 1403 | He lived in Orangeburgh District, SC in 1790 with 1 male over 16, 2 females and was listed under the name of Joseph Coats. He is living next door to his probable father-in-law, John Hickman at the time on the Edisto River. According to tcription on the title page of the census, this was in the south part of Orangeburg District, South Carolina. I've estimated his birth date before the 1750's from his son Sion's birth date of 1770 and his son, Elijah's birth date from before 1766. He appears to have inherited his father's farm in Orangeburgh, but has moved from there to Camden, Kershaw Co., SC by 1792 when the following court records appear, on 2/28/1792 on the Petit Jury and on 3/5/1793 in a suit, Joseph Coats vs. Henry Hudson and on 3/4/1794, Joseph Coats V. James Gunn & Thomas Smyrl. I believe he is the son of the Joseph who was the minister, because there is indication that he inherited his father Joseph's land upon his death according to Beverly Burton. He also applies for a Revolutionary War pension in 1796 that has receipts in it witnessed by a possible brother, David Coates in 1784. Specifically, he is listed as Mr. Joseph Coates in an extensive bookkeeping record of his financial transactions as they relate to the court and militia records from 1780-1786 in Charleston, South Carolina. Included in these accounts is a David Coates in 1784 who swore to an exchange of supplies consisting of 5 bushels of corn and 10 bushels of oats involving Joseph Coates. Joseph apparently fought in the Revolutionary War as he submitted documents witnessed by "brother" David in 1796 I assume to get a pension. (C-1708, 1952) David is also in the Kershaw County Court minutes from 1792 to 1796. (C-1708) We do not know when Joseph Coats died. He might be the J. Coats in the 1810 census for South Carolina, Orangeburg, Page 130. In this, J. Coats has one son under age 10, he was between 26 and 45, he had 2 daughters under age 10, and a wife age 26-45. He was living next to J. Sellers on one side, J. More and J. Thomas on the other. This however, does not match the age we have him at from his supposed son's birthdates. There is a possibility that David and Joseph are sons of a William Coate of Charleston, SC instead. The following is a record for a Joseph Coates in Charleston, South Carolina.

|
| 1404 | He lived in St. George Parish, Dorchester Co., SC as an adult. He is listed as "the recently deceased son of Thomas Coates, a Maltman, of Glasgow, Northern Great Britain" in appointment of attorney to recover William's estate on March 21s, 1753. He was listed as a sometimes minister in his father's will. According to some miscellaneous records from "Grampa" Joe Coates, William Sr. also had a son named John, born about 1755 in South Carolina. This date would be a little too late if it was his son, as he died in 1753 in Dorchester Co., South Carolina. This county is northwest of Charleston and southeast of Newberry Co. in what would have been partly in Berkeley and partly in Colleton District, SC at the time. (C-1638) | COATS, William Sr. (I7844)
|
| 1405 | He lived in the correct county to account for our Susanah, but owned no slaves. This suggests he is not the father of our Susanah. | HUNTER, David Sr (I11251)
|
| 1406 | He lived in the reign of David of Scotland. He received the title of Earl when he took the Castle at Dumbartonshire for the King. He took it when the King asked that of him. His reply was "if I can". He used strategy to invite the owners on a hunt. The Colquhouns then took the castle literally by walking in it and defending it - without any casualties involved. | COLQUHOUN, Sir Robert * E-BY5775 5th Laird of Colquhoun and 7th of Luss - 330-1390 (I17165)
|
| 1407 | He lived on Wood Street in Piqua up to 1925 when he moved to Hamilton, Ohio. He is listed as a contractor in the 1930 census for Hamilton. Years after his brother Albert established himself as a highly respected Contractor/Floor finishenventor, John followed his brother Albert's example as a contractor. He is likely the John H. Coate who was a pall bearer for my grandfather's funeral in 1941. (C-370) | COATE, John Harb (I11904)

|
| 1412 | He lives in Raccon Twp., Gallia Co., OH near the other children of Bartholomew Gaskins and fits this son by age from the 1820 census. In the 1840 census for Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., OH, he is listed between 20 and 30 with a wife the se and two daughters under age 5. I can't find him in any other census for Ohio or elsewhere. (CL-563) | GASKINS, Solomon (I8484)
|
| 1413 | He made an indenture on Dec. 8, 1686 to Thomas Maulson of Sussex in the province of Pennsylvania. This is recorded in a Delaware deed book. John was receiving land on the west side of Delaware Bay and the southside of a branch called Bam for this indenture. He died about 10 years later. The land he received is in a 1798 deed for Delaware when it's again being transferred as belonging to the late Roger Gum. William Clark administered his estate and the 200 acres of land was sold to William Smith. | GUM, Roger (I10225)

|
| 1416 | He married and moved to Indiana. (C-698) | HARMON, Mathias (I344)
|
| 1417 | He married his cousin, Hannah Howard. They also lived in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland where he held many offices. He specifically lived near Gambrill's Station. It was probably the same house used by Major Phillip Hammond. Charles was aary officer in listings started in 1696. He was listed by the title of Major in all documents after that date. In 1698, he was on the Grand Jury. In 1704, he was a commissioner for Anne Arundel County. He was an elected member of the Lower House of Assembly on October 24, 1710. He held that title until he died. His estate was worth about 876 pounds when he died. A transcription of his will is as follows: "To eld. son Charles and hrs., lower half of 284 A., "Rich Neck," and 100 A., part of 500 A., "Howard's Adventure. To son Philip and hrs., Quarter plantation by Towsers Branch, and sufficient land out of "Howard's Adventure" to make 300 A., and all rights, etc., to houses, lots and commanages in Annapolis.

|
| 1419 | He married twice. One of them was Dutch. (C-1453) | CHATFIELD, Thomas (I547)
|
| 1420 | He might be a brother or cousin of our Mihaly Vovcsik. He lived in house 4 compared to Mihaly who live in house 75. He was a godparent to Janos and Maria Miklotsik Dudik's first born son, Georgij. | VOVCSIK, Peter (I9788)
|
| 1421 | He might be a Revolutionary War Soldier as there is a Jacob Cowdery buried in Keno Cemetery, Meigs Co., Ohio whom was. | COWDERY, Jacob M. (I338)
|
| 1422 | He might be confused with another possible brother named Joshua who was born about 1656. (F-447) | HOTCHKISS, Sheriff Joshua (I15465)
|
| 1423 | He might be Jonathan Danner. There were two Jonathan Danners living in the same township, Perry Twp., Gallia Co., OH in 1830. | DANNER, Dorothy D. (I1490)
|
| 1424 | He might be the Aquila who was married to a Rachel and had information recorded in the Hopewell MM records in Virginia. If so, he and Rachel had a son named Isaac Lewis Coates. | COATES, Aquilla (I14795)
|
| 1425 | He might be the Arann COTE who married Elizabeth Taylor on Nov 5, 1742 in Stoke, St. Gregory Parish, Somerset, England. Spelling was by phonetics until the last hundred years or so. He is the son of William Jr. and Ellizabeth in the bal records. | COATE, Aaron (I10146)
|
| 1426 | He might be the Daniel in the following record: "Alexandria City and County Virginia Wills, Administrations and Guardian Bonds 1800-1870" by Patrick G. Wardell*Coats, Daniel; will 17 Aug 1819 - 19 Apr 1831; s/William; fr/Mary Ferguson;y Ferguson; wit/John P. Shutt, C R Green, Constantine Dignum (W B4-9)" | COATE, Daniel (I1032)
|
| 1427 | He might be the early John Coats of Pennsylvania who married Mary Ball on Jun 16, 1711 according to the Pennsylvania Archives, Series 2. Though I've seen a death date for him of Feb. 18, 1718/1719 and his burial in the Philadelphia Quakerl Ground, I do not believe this belongs to him as he is the likely John Coate signing as the 1st family witness to his sister's marriage in 1720. | COATE, John (I763)
|
| 1428 | He might be the following from Irish records: "Jamieson, Alexander, maltman, B., master 20 Nov 1689Book: | JAMESON, Alexander * (R-BY8983) (I9510)
|
| 1429 | He might be the George who purchased land in 1748 in Hanover, Lancaster Co., PA. It could also be his cousin, George, son of Audley who purchased that land instead. | CALHOUN, George (I10311)
|
| 1430 | He might be the George who purchased land in 1748 in Hanover, Lancaster, PA. He had no known son James. He is likely to be the George who bought 220 acres from the Davis' in 1770 on Steel Creek, Mecklenburg, NC. I have seen no proof that he is the son of Audley and Judith. Candee has multiple cousin matches (not triangulations) to his supposed son Samuel, b 1740. According to Candee Varville, "George married to Elizabeth Wilson first shows up in 1767 buying land on the Catawba river which we knew. In 1760 Thomas Calhoon or Cohune in some records buys 350 acres on the Catawba from John Patton..It was Anson County then but in 1767 he is a witness to McAffee whose land adjoins him in Mecklenburg. Is he a brother or older man? We know our James shows up in the Rev War vouchers from Guilford and I suspected the other James from Salisbury district was a son of George who was in the those records along with Samuel and George. James was mentioned 1787 selling a Negro to a Caruthers. No other mention of land etc. Did George name a son James? Elizabeth Wilson's supposed brothers Robert and Zaccheus are from Pennsylvania either Chester or Cumberland depending on County formation. Newville Cumberland Pennsylvania is mentioned. There was a Presbyterian church there but no marriage between Elizabeth and George. I don't think this family was connected to Adam in Prince Edward. The info I sent was added info and not in the original record. You can check the 3 records I sent years ago and you posted. Nor do I think Samuel Calhoon was in Pitt NC where his kids claimed to be born. He was in Mecklenburg records at that time. " | CALHOON, George E-FT350465 (I10317)
|
| 1431 | He might be the John who purchased land in 1735 in Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania (C-1976) He is likely the John Coats Jr. who helped execute the will of his cousin, William Coats Jr. who died in 1749, the same time as his father Williamoats. | COATS, John Sr. (I1288)
|
| 1432 | He might be the Jonathan Coate who was on the Great Egg Harbor Twp., Burlington Co., NJ tax lists for 1773. If, on the other hand, he turns out to be the Jonathan Coates of Charles Twp., Philadelphia, PA, then he was the executor of thef Phillip Thomas. No relationship is stated. (C-2292E, E) There is a Jonathan Coates who received a patent for 192 acres in York Co., PA in 1770 that might apply to this Jonathan or another Jonathan of similar peerage also living in Pennsylvania (PA Patent Index) Any one of these Jonathan's could be the husband of Jane Stinson married on Nov. 7, 1771 in the Pennsylvania Archives, Series II. I think it's likely that this marriage belongs to this Jonathan if his wife Jane was married to a Stinson previous to their marriage. | COATES, Jonathan (I14772)
|
| 1433 | He might be the Lewis Duvall who married Mary Perkins on Dec 23, 1802 in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland. I can't tell for sure which Lewis he is in the 1800 census for Montgomery Co., Maryland, but if he's the Lewis, Jr., he and his wife wer age 45. They had a daughter from age 10-16, one daughter and 2 sons from age 16-26 and 7 slaves. His 1820 census record needs located for Lewis W. Duvall on page 177 in Goshen Twp., Montgomery Co., Maryland. He is probably deceased by 1830 as he is not in further census records for Maryland. | DUVALL, Lewis Welsh (I7211)
|
| 1434 | He might be the Marmaduke Coate Junior who was buried on 1 May 1737 in North Petherton. | COATE, Marmaduke (I6736)
|
| 1435 | He might be the Marmaduke Cote who married Amy Hewlett on Mar. 13, 1813 in All Saints, Huntspill, Somerset, England. (FreeReg.com) | COATE, Marmaduke (I20472)
|
| 1436 | He might be the Robert Gascoigne b. 1639 in Bedfordshire, England with a brother named William, b 1633. His mother was Anne and his father was William. | GASKIN, Robert (I17051)
|
| 1437 | He might be the Samuel Coates who was elected as a contributor to the Pennsylvania Hospital on May 7, 1792. (Federal Gazette Newspaper) He might also be the Samuel who was a merchant living at 82 Fourth Front St. in Philadelphia in 1798.83) | COATES, Samuel (I1082)
|
| 1438 | He might be the Samuel who purchased land in 1737 in Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania (C-1976) He might be the Samuel who was in the Pennsylvania Gazette as lately having imported "Godfrey Cordial, Daffy Elixir, Freeman Grand Elixir, Freemdial, Elixir Proprietatis, Spirit of Scurvey grass, Bathing Spirits, Hugary water and Madder" available in his shop on Market Street in Philadelphia. I suspect however, that the store owner was the Samuel who was the son of Thomas Coates and Beulah Jacques. He might also be the Samuel that was sent a letter on Oct 24, 1754 to the Philadelphia Post Office which never got delivered. (C-1681, 1808) | COATES, Samuel (named after mother's father) (I14791)
|
| 1439 | He might be the Samuel who was a merchant living at 82 Fourth Front St. in Philadelphia in 1798. He could instead be Rev. Samuel Coate, of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the U.S., died in London, in his 37th year. He left a wife and cn Lower Canada, and an aged mother in N.J. (June 4, 1814) (C-1983, 2146E) | COATES, Samuel (I1058)
|
| 1440 | He might be the Thomas Coates who was drowned near Orleans, Mass.,Jan. 5 or 6, 1804. He was a seaman on the schooner Farmer, J.P.Schott,master, which sailed from Boston, Dec. 28, 1803, for the West Indies. (C-2146E) | COATES, Thomas (I1086)
|
| 1441 | He might be the Tony Cesario, b. 1912, who enlisted in World War II on Jun 4, 1942 in San Francisco, California. He was seperated without dependants at the time. He was in the hotel and restaurant business. He was living next to Georgedick's family in the 1930 census for Hamlin, McKean Co., Pennsylvania. John Parilla was living with him. He was listed as a laborer in the brickworks. George was listed as a fireman for the brickworks. In the 1940 census, he is the Anthony Cesario living in Mt. Jewett, McKean Co., PA with wife Gladys and children Patty Jean and Beverly Joan Cesario. He was working for the Park system and making 1372.00 a year which seemed higher than his neighbors. | CESARIO, Anthony (Tony) (I11864)
|
| 1442 | He might be the Warwick Coates who was a Pennsylvania volunteer and private in the War of 1812. When he married in 1846, he was listed of Londonderry Twp., Chester Co., Pennsylvania He had children by his first wife only. | COATES, Warwick (I14723)
|
| 1443 | He might be the William Coates who had a public wharf built next to his home that was on a road that led from Philadelphia to Germantown and Frankfort. Notice of this action was in the Pennsylvania Gazette on Apr. 2, 1747. William Jt a will in book J, p. 101, Philadelphia, PA on Feb. 26, 1746. It's been transcribed by Charlotte Coats Siercks: LDS # 21724 "No. 63 - William Coats, jr, city of Philadelphia, brickmakerwife Mary, daugher Mary, son William, both children it appears are under 21 years of age since both bequests are to *delievered unto him by my said Exers when he arrives to ye age of Twenty one years*, my truly Friends as executers Thomas Jay, Sadler and John Coats, brickmaker (his uncle or cousin). It also appears that William Coats', jr father dies after him, his father's name is also William Coats...jr... : 'my will is that my said executers in one year after the decease of my father William Coats do pay or cause to be paid unto my wife Mary Coats the sum of Ten pounds', witnesses William Wallace and Stephen Hooley. The will was signed Feb 26, 1746, probated April 7, 1749" (C-2388) He or his father might have been the William who purchased a lot in Northern Liberties, PA in 1734. (C-1665, 1670) He might be the William Coates who owned a house on the west side of the road leading from Philadelphia to Germantown on Apr. 2, 1747. A public Wharf was to be built on the adjacent property to it. (C-1747) He is possibly the William who forbade all persons to trust his wife in the Sep 11, 1746 PA Gazette. "For her will pay no Debts by her contracted, from the Date hereof. William Coates." (C-1742) He and his father died at almost the same time. On April 13, 1748/1749, all persons indebted to the estate of William Cotes, Sr., and William Coats, Jr. late of Northern Liberties, brickmakers, deceased were asked to pay their respective debts in the PA Gazette. In the same article it then announces the publick sale of William Jr.'s estate on the 29th of April. It included his house, one negroe male, two horses, one mare, one cow, a small cart, one chair, and sundry household items. Executors appeared to be Thomas Say and John Cotes, Jr. (C-1813) | COATES, William Jr. (I14935)
|
| 1444 | He might have been a knight and held land in Tachebrook Mallory, Eng. (F-511) | MALLORY, Gilbert (I16794)
|
| 1445 | He might have been born in 1723 and be the son of James Patrick Calhoun instead. If so, our James could be the son of this Hugh than where I have placed him. He purchased 300 acres of land in Paxton Twp. (which includes the town of Paxtang), Lancaster Co., PA in 1770. "Deed Book Vol. 6 pg. 475. Here is his bio by bergerpbharms on ancestry. " On May 17, 1753, he married Sarah Taylor at the home of Andrew Stewart of Paxtang Society, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (this has also been recorded as having been in Derry Township, Cumberland County, and Dauphin County). Their marriage was recorded on page 106 of the Journal of Rev. John Cuthbertson, an itinerant Presbyterian minister who rode from Lancaster County to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, baptizing, marrying and preaching. (These journals are in the Department of History of the United Presbyterian Church, at Philadelphia.) James and Sarah had ten children. Also listed are the dates of their births: Matthew 1754 David 1757 Martha (Taylor) 1760 Agnes (Stewart) 1762 Sarah (McCormick) 1763 Mary 1765 James 1767 Isobel Jane (Peden) 1769 William 1771 John 1775 Later, Rev. Cuthbertson would baptize the first eight of James and Sarahs children at the society where he had performed their parent’s marriage. All of their children except William were baptized at William or Ben Browns home in Paxtang, Cumberland County. William, their ninth child, was baptized at Muddy Run Society, York County, Pennsylvania. When grown, William moved to Kentucky. His son was the captain of a Mississippi River Boat. Matthew, David, and James, three of the sons of James and Sarah Taylor Calhoon served in the Revolutionary War. One record states that James Calhoon, Sr. also served in the Revolution. His older brother, Captain George Calhoon, (1717-1778) born in Ireland, served in the Revolutionary War as well. Later, his son David was Commander of Fort Pitt during the War of 1812.James Calhoon of Mifflin Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, purchased a farm of 213 acres on May 1, 1797 (Deed Book 6 or 7, page 475) less than two years before his death at age seventy-six. His will was made September 9, 1796, and was recorded March 25, 1799 (Will Book 1, page 122, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania). His will was proved July 6, 1799, and was the first Calhoon will to be filed in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. (Throughout the will his name was spelled Calhoon.) In his will he lists ten children and James Alexander. It is thought that James Alexander was James Alexander Calhoon, his grandson by his son Matthew and received a bequest of twenty pounds because he was a namesake.It appears that James and Sarah had begun moving westward across Pennsylvania about the time of Williams birth in 1771. By 1790, James had made his way to Mifflin Township, Allegheny County, where he would spend the rest of his life. Matthew, their eldest child, and Amelia, his second wife, bought the home place in Northumberland County and lived there at the time of the birth of their son, James Alexander. James Calhoon died on February 4, 1799 in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania and was buried in Lebanon Cemetery near his grandsons James and John, sons of David and Eleanor (King) Calhoon. Lebanon Cemetery is located in Mifflin Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. James will and that of his son Matthew, gave proof that James Alexander Calhoon was Matthew’s son, and by virtue of that fact, was a grandson of James and Sarah Taylor Calhoon." Bergerpharms also started her biography of James by stating a common misconception, that he is the son of Hugh and Agnes Calhoun who was born in 1723 and emigrated with his parents in 1733. I DO NOT concur as I descend from a James and Jean Calhoun who have over 10 DNA triangulations with cousins who descend from Hugh and Agnes Calhoun. Many of these triangulations are at the 7 cM range which is astounding for this distance back in time. It occurred because this wealthy family of Ireland and Scotland intermarried to preserve their wealth. Personally, I propose that the James married to Sarah Taylor was the son of John of Paxtang, Lancaster Co., PA where James and Sarah Taylor married. Neither of their birthdates are actually known. Sarah's is stated to be 1830 or 1832 for persons guessing that on one of two sets of parents for her from Philadelphia. It's been my experience that a daughter marries in her own hometown or very nearby. Philadelphia is over 100 miles away from Paxtang. This this just isn't holding up in the light of her guessed at parentage and via DNA evidence. He married Sarah Taylor on May 17, 1753, in Paxtang, Pennsylvania. This is where his brother John's son James lived at the time. The one who was married to Sarah Taylor died on February 2, 1799, having lived a long life of 75 years in Miffln Twp., Allegheny Co., PA. He possibly died at his grand-daughter, Margaret Lyon's household as she lived in Mifflin Twp. (historic Pittsburgh), PA when she died in 1835. Margaret was the daughter of Agnes Nancy Calhoun. | CALHOON, James * (I10339)
|
| 1446 | He might have been married a third time previous to the two wives mentioned. He lived in Christiana Hundred, New Castle Co., Del when he married widow, Hannah Woodward Shortlidge. (C-437,748, 1654) | UNDERWOOD, Joseph (I12149)
|
| 1447 | He might have been the David who served as a Private in the Revolutionary War. His parents are listed as Thomas and Jean Gray Calhoun in DAR records and his grandparents as David and Caroline Matilda Cunningham Calhoun in that case. | CALHOUN, David (I10487)
|
| 1448 | He might have been the one of several William's in North Petherton who was buried on 6 Aug 1726 in North Petherton. Records do not list any relatives or age. This William of the Carolinas has been extremely elusive. In turn of the last century works on Coates that were fraught with errors he was said to be the husband of Rachel Ann Budd and father of Gentleman John. We've found no proof o. In fact, there is a William Coate who is married to a Rachel (Budd) whom was a brother to my Marmaduke Coate. After he sells his father's land in New Jersey, he then appears to marry Rachel (Budd) and buying land in Philadelphia where he dies by 1769. I can't really find William's in this family tree that could be him other than the William who was christened in Curry Rivel Parish in Somerset, England in 1618 and was the son of Henry Coate and Mary. We don't currently know how this Henry is related to my Marmaduke's family though it is highly likely he's related. He is thought to be the William Coate who preceded Henry (my Marmaduke's father) to North Carolina, living in Rowan Co. by 1754. He is listed in the tax tables for Rowan County in 1755, 1759 and 1760. In the 1759 tax lists, he was living in a grouping near John and James Coate (both brothers of my Marmaduke). Note: James Coats married Robena Ryle (not a Quaker) in Rowan County, NC in 1759. There is no deed record for this William who was being taxed in Rowan. This was part of Bladen Co., to become Anson Co., NC in that early time period. Anson Co. deed records showed nothing, but other records in Bladen and Anson still need to be checked. (C-1565) A William Coats was appointed Commissioner on July 12, 1754 in the room of Edward Hughes Esqr. for the Roads in the fork of the Yadkin., Rowan Co., North Carolina. (C-936) He replaced a very prominent citizen in this position. This tells us that he probably had prominence, owned land and was at least 21 years of age. (C-2014) A court case entitled, "Mary Dughart" vs. William Coats, Troner?" in Rowan Co., NC on July 23, 1756. The verdict was guilty. No details of the case are known. (C-936) A court case in Rowan Co., NC on Oct. 21, 1756 discharged William Coats from being committed for having 2 horses in his custody, the property of whom was unknown. Some of the same judges whom he served under as juror dismissed this case. (C-2014) A William Coate had jury duty on Oct. 22, 1756 in Rowan County, in the case John Parker vs. James Berry. He was a juror on July 22, 1757; Oct. 20, 1759 (or 1762); and April 22-23, 1762 respectively. William and two other jurors, John Jones and Jeremiah Green all appear to have moved to Bush River MM, South Carolina. He was also a juror under the same judges in these cases, Jno. Hanby, Ed Hughs, and Wm. Buse in Rowan before his move. (C-936, 943) 3?) William is listed as a taxable person from Rowan County in 1759. (C-353) He supposedly sold his land in Rowan County in 1762 after he had moved onto Newberry Co., South Carolina. What is evident is that any mention of William no longer exist in the area after 1762. (C-199,253c,552,573) Note: - In a deed dated 1760 in Salisbury, Rowan County, Samuel Bryan bought land from Granville on the south side of the Yadkin River below the mouth of Coats Branch. The deed was proved in Sept. of 1761. Either James or William could have owned the Coate/Cote land refered to called Coats branch in this deed. William is listed as a commissioner in the Fork of the Yadkin River and was taxed for his property from there. William lived 35 miles from the New Garden Monthly Meeting, and was not likely an active member. (C-95, 936, 938, 969, 1910) A William Coate then appears between Spring Field and Bush River in South Carolina before 1762 according to John Belton Oneal in "The Annals of Newberry" and "The History of Newberry" by Pope. This source also states that William Coate "lived and must have died in Newberry Co. between 1762-1796." (C-930) He interacts with my Henry (father of James, John and Marmaduke), who moved to Bush River, South Carolina. Henry had also lived in North Carolina as per Quaker records and purchased land in what is now Newberry Co., SC in 1765. This is witnessed by this early William Coate and James (the one who married Robena Ryle). William then purchased 200 acres of land in Craven Co., SC on Aug 5, 1766. His platte was certified on Aug. 4, 1767 and granted on Nov. 24, 1767 on Bush River. His adjacent land owners were Jacob Brooks, Mary Steedhams, Samuel Kelly (NE) and John Furnas (SW). Jacob Brooks is where the "Brooks Fort" was, a sturdy cabin with some kind of low fence around it. A parcel of 67 acres of William's land was sold in 1800 by John Galbreath (who died by 1807).

Signed F. Nance Recorded Sept 22, 1810 (Original grant at above cite has plat of this land, this is the lower portion of the 1766 plat to William Coate)" No deeds have been found where any Galbreaths purchase William's land. I therefore, theorize that the John Gallbreath in the 1800 sale or James Gallbreath in the 1807 sale received the land as descendants of William Coate... but so far no proof hs been found to support this. (These Gallbreaths did not have children until the 1780's and 90's, making them too young to be son-in-laws of this William Coate). A third and 4th transaction involving William's original land takes place with John B. O'Neal, the author of "The Annals of Newberry." On Feb 15, 1822, John B. O'Neal sells 29 33/100 acres of William Coate's original land to Clement Nance for $525.00. Adjoining neighbors to the property are Clement Nance, James Fernandis and J.B. O'neal himself. It's recorded in Deed Book P2, pg. 402. Then in the same Deed Book, pg. 404 on the same day, John B. O'Neal purchases 120 acres of William's original land granted on Nov 24, 1767 from Clement Nance. Clement's wife, Elizabeth gives up her dowry rights to it. The land adjoins southeast & northwest by said O'Neal and southwest by Samuel Speer. I find these last two deeds very significant. First, they show that John B. Oneal had personal knowlege of the original William's land because he literally owned his land. Therefore, when he states in his book that William surely lived in Newberry SC from about 1762 to 1796 in his "Annals of Newberry", he personally knew that he was not living there in 1822 when he purchased his land and had not been living there in his adult memory. When I say he had personal knowledge of him, I mean that he knew he had once lived there and had died sometime before John B. O'Neal's actual memory, as John O'Neal, himself, was not born till 1793. Secondly, if John B. Oneal owned about 30 acres of William's land prior to Feb. 1822, where did he get it from? One possibility is that he or his wife were grandchildren of the original William. His wife's name was Helen. Thirdly, since Clement Nance could sell back to John B. O'Neal 120 acres of William's land, it's just as likely that Clement Nance or his wife, Elizabeth, could also be grandchildren. Since I don't know the ages of Clement Nance's wife, Elizabeth, there is also the possibility that she was a daughter of the original William, too. (C-2100) As for William's death date, in the Annals of Newberry another entry on pages 11-12 indicates that he lived there somewhere between 1762 and 1796 as relayed by researcher, Jeff Bedenbaugh. O'neall in this source, relates "a story about a mysterious stranger, one James Jones, who claimed to be the son of John Jones who held the original grant to the land Newberry stood on." (Note....the John Jones is also likely to be the friend and fellow juror of William Coate when they lived together in Rowan Co., North Carolina.) "It was apparent from his knowledge of localities, such as Kelly's old store (Springfield) and the old inhabitants, that it was true as he stated. For instance, stepping into the old house at Springfield, in the lifetime of its venerable occupant, Hannah Kelly, and sitting down for a moment, this poor wandering stranger said to as he rose, he believed he would step over to Billy Coate's, and walked towards the north door, which had been closed, and the steps removed, for more than a quarter of a century. The old lady said that that was once the familiar way of passing out of the house to the elder William Coate's who lived and must have died between 1762 and 1796." As Jeff Bedenbaugh points out, referring to Billy as the "Elder" William Coate indicates that there was a younger one living in the area also. There is no William Coate as an aged head of household in the 1790 South Carolina census. It is my guess that he died before 1790 or is living with a child. On 10/10/1785, there is one record of a William Cate who witnessed the purchase of land in Laurens Co., SC by a Charles Saxon from Benjamin Jones of 200 acres originally owned by Henry Neily in 1766 that might be this William Coate. (C-2301) He is not in the 1779 census of the Old 96th District which included all of current day Newberry and Laurens Counties, whereas most of his neighbors/children to his land purchase of 1766 are in that census. This could indicate that he died before 1779 instead. Lastly, in trying to discern the truth about William, we can look at the list of his children as passed down in the old Coate's genealogy, Summral's and Collin's work . They basically list them as Anne, Susanne (or Thomas instead), Moses, Rachel, Amos, Aaron, Marmaduke, Elizabeth, Jesse, John, Henry and Alfred. Again no proof has been found that most of these children even existed including a search in all census records for the U.S., except for possibly John, and Elizabeth. All of it is still theory and in no way fact. No "children" appear in the records connected with this William in the Carolinas. Even though he is listed as the father of "Gentleman John" in several older Coate's histories as theories, there is no interaction between Gentleman John and William in South Carolina or between he and any other Coates but the ones in my family that are verified as having moved from New Jersey to VA to NC to SC in Quaker records. Autosomnal DNA evidence now has verified that Henry Coate along with sons John, James and Marmaduke are my direct family instead of William being the father of my Marmaduke as was theorized by Amanda Krell in the early to mid 1900's. Looking over the facts, it's entirely possible that William of South Carolina had no children or wife at all. If he did, a last hypothesis applies to a pattern in the deed records. In a one year period, several Coats purchased land. Some of them might be William's sons. Their purchases were rather large. They all were in Berkley or Craven County. I suggest that maybe we don't know all the names of William's sons and that this is when some of his sons moved to South Carolina. Land purchases made by persons whose parentage is not certain include: John Coates, 400 acres on Sept. 26, 1772 in Craven District; Joseph Coats, 300 acres on Nov. 4, 1772 in Craven; William Coats, 650 acres on Dec. 1, 1772 in Berkley; Thomas 250 acres on Apr. 2, 1773 in Berkley; Henry, 100 acres on May 18, 1773 in Berkley and Charles on Dec. 8, 1773 in Newberry. (Note that both Henry and Charles filed their deeds on Mar. 29, 1790 which suggests a relationship.) (C-912) Please take into account that this entire family of his children are a hypothesis based on observations with unproven connections. | COATE, William (I2590)
