2351	It is conjecture on my part that this is the son of James and Polly Glenn. Joseph is definitely a grandson of William and Ann Curry Glenn, by placement of his gravestone in the tight circle behind William and Ann Curry's grave. He could, tfore, be a child of any of William and Ann Curry Glenn's sons.	GLENN, Joseph James Carlisle (I877)
2352	It is conjecture that John and Isaack are brothers to Abell Ingram. John names Abell's daughter in his will as he is going about listing his nieces. However, he doesn't specify if Abell is another of this brothers as well as several oth-relationship given persons below. John did not apparently have children or a wife at the writing of his will, but seemed to have a fairly sizable estate. Here is a partial transcription of John's will as provided by Lauren Varga of NJ: "In the name of God Amen July 15, 1658, I John Ingram in the parish of Pagham, County of Sussex, ... I doe make and ordaine this my last will and testament in manner and forme following: Impris. I give and leave unto Ann Ingram ye daughter of Isaack Ingram my brother deceased.. All my houses barnes buildings and freehold lands several lying and being in ye said parish of Pagham to have and hold all said house barnes buildings and unto the said Ann Ingram her heyres estates or assignes shall and will pay.. Said lands unto Thomas Ingram my brother or his assignes the sum of 8 pounds yearly of lawfull English money during his naturall life. Item I give unto Ann Royse ye daughter of Jo. Royse/Rofse 5 pounds to be paid at my decease.. Item I give unto Miriam Ingram ye daughter of Abell Ingram ye sum of 5 pounds to be paid for at her age of 21 yearse. Item I give unto Isaack Leggatt ye sum of 20 shillings... Ordaine Grace Ingram daughter of my eldest brother Isaack Ingram my sole executor." (C-1590)	INGRAM, John (I725)
2353	It is conjecture that Lawrence is a son of this William, as William would have had to have moved to Tavemlow for the record to apply to him. Since there is no will for William in Mobberley and he sold his land in 1677, it is consistante probably moved and is the father of Lawrence in Tavemlow.	COPPOCK, Lawrence (I1815)
2354	It is conjecture that she is a Griffith by surname. She is listed as the oldest in her mother's will and the siblings after her were Griffiths. She might have been a daughter of Ann's first husband named Bright.	GRIFFITH, Mary (I10500)
2355	It is conjecture that she was the Mary Coate who died in 1727 but this remains to be proven as she would have been quite elderly at the time.	BARTLET, Mary (I10136)
2356	It is conjecture that this John Millard married twice, the 2nd time to Sarah Forte. It is however, supported by the fact that John is listed as the brother-in-law in Christopher Forte's will dated 1834 and that the witnesses to the will id 2 of John Millard's daughters because they were likely step-daughters of Sarah Forte. John Millard was at one time in the Indian Navy. He became an English merchant by trade. (F-624)	MILLARD, John (I7614)
2357	It is conjecture that this Warwick is the brother of William and son of an older Warwick and his first wife. It simply fits by time and place at this point in the theory building. His wife is named Sarah in the sources for PennsylvaniaC-1677) There is a Warwick who married a Sarah Kelly on May 11, 1777 in Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA that is unaccounted for. (C-1680) The Warwick and Sarah who are listed as the parents of William Coate born 1773, don't seem to fit this 1777 marriage. He is likely the Warwick listed as a Shipwright in the Provincial Tax rolls of Philadelphia Co. in 1774. He is in a 1798 Philadelphia City Directory as a shipwright, living at 24 Queen St. (C-1983) This might be the Warwick whose estate was administered in 1799 in Philadelphia in Book K, p. 26. (C-1686)	COATES, Warwick (I14950)
2358	It is conjecture, but this Gabriel is the right age to be a brother to James Jr. McCool and the son of James Adams and Ann Wright McCool. Also, James Jr. named a son Gabriel, likely after his brother. According to "The Annals of Newbere was a highly conscientious and good man. (C-236) This Gabriel was disowned on 4/24/1773 for marrying his first cousin.	MCCOOL, Gabriel (I13084)
2359	It is entirely possible that Rebecca is the Rebecca Coate that marries John Carter on the 6/28/1798 Deer Creek MM in Chester Co., Pennsylvania. Her closest relative and likely father is listed as Isaac Coate.	COATES, Rebecca (I997)
2360	It is entirely possible that the following record belongs to this John and that his brother William followed him to the new world a few years later. There was a John Underwood that preceeded this batch of Underwoods to old Rappahanno. He married Dorothy Cayhoes, widow of William Cayhoes in Nov. of 1645. Those records are now available in York Co., VA records.	UNDERWOOD, John (I1501)
2361	It is extremely difficult to read her last name in the 1869 census. She is listed as the head of household's mother-in-law in house 36 and would be Anna Bogdan's mother. She is listed as a widow.	MELERUIS, Anna (I9802)
2362	It is family tradition that the Bruce Riggs who was Eva's first husband was, to everyone's dismay, a leader in the Ku Klux Clan. He enlisted in World War I in Richwood, Nicholas, West Virginia on Sep. 12, 1918. His nearest relative was his wife, Eva. He was tall, of medium build and had blue eyes and dark hair. They lived at 14 Chesnut St., Richwood, Nicolas Co., WV. In the 1920 census, he worked in and they boarded in the Paper Mill in Richwood, WV. They had a son named Bruce Junior about 1921-1922. He died of tuberculosis in Aug. of 1924.	RIGGS, Bruce O. (I31)
2363	It is family tradition that the Doudes were originally from Ireland. Henry Doude immigrated in 1639 from Guilford, Co. Surry, England (17 miles sw of London) under the guidance of Reverend Henry Whitfield and settled in Guilford, Conne. (F-99) He was an indentured servant. (F-507) He built a home 1/4" mile from the northeast corner of the "Green" on the road passing on the east side of the "Green." His descendant, William Dowd was living in his home in 1885. His exact residence at the time of his death and grave sight are unknown though they are likely to be near where his home was. Many of the earliest members were buried in the village green that he lived near. He married before leaving England as there is no record of marriage or first born as well as a few other children in Connecticut. He signed his name "Doude" under the heading of PLANTERS on shipboard before landing at Guilford. He was one of the founding fathers of Guilford, CT and is on the 1650 Planters list, although he hadn't yet been admitted as a Freeman. A later list which probably includes only freeman gives his death date as Aug. 31, 1668. (F-498, 501, 526) There is a chance that this Henry's wife, Elizabeth, mother of Thomas Dowd, is confused with another Henry Dowd's wife. Torrey's "New England Marriages", says that Elizabeth, wife of Henry, was b. in 1639 or 1648. This would make her the age of her children. The original source needs to be rechecked. (F-427) It would make sense if those were the possible marriage dates instead. The births of only some of his children are recorded in the town records. (F-496) His possible parents have been identified as Thomas and Elizabeth Doude by a Doude descendant who is in the process of distributing his proof currently. (F-517) His property is currently owned by a descendant who had no idea she was purchasing her ancestor's land at the time. The rock garden photo included with Henry's information is a part of Henry's property and was kindly submitted by Tracy Tomasell i of Guilford, CT. (F:PHO) According to information from the "Mamie Doud Eisenhower birth place Foundation, North Carolina.," the Doud's who came from Guilford, England in 1639 are the direct ancestral line of President Eisenhower's wife, Mamie Geneva Doud. (F-618)	DOUDE, Henry (I15600)
2364	It is highly likely that a Richard Bredham is an older brother of Adam also living in Walberton, England. Richard had his first child, Elizabeth in May of 1618. Adam had his first child Elizabeth in May of 1620. From this, we can te that their mother's name was Elizabeth and their father's name was either Richard or Adam. (C-1592)	BREDHAM, Adam (I16750)
2365	It is highly likely that Lydia married a David Gregg, as they are both listed in the relatives column as witnessing the marriage of her brother, John Coppock to Margaret Coulson.	COPPOCK, Lydia (I5831)
2366	It is highly likely that she is the Nancy Gaskins who married a William W. Glenn in Gallia Co., OH in Feb. of 1856. Since we do not find her first husband in the census records for 1860, it is likely he was deceased previous to 1856. Sld have had a young child to care for and therefore remarried.	ROSE, Nancy (I8332)
2367	It is highly likely that this Ephraim is the son of this James. I believe this to be true because my father said he had family in Wheeling, West Virginia because he had 2nd cousins in Ohio named Albert and Ephraim whom came from there.A match on Ancestry is supporting this also between a person whom descends from Harriet, Ephraim's daughter, myself and 3 others all with matching DNA whom are descendants of Benjamin. Ephraim was a rag and junk dealer in the Wheeling town directories. He lived at 39 20th St. in 1888 and at 84 19th St. in 1890. He had Albert and Ephraim living with him in the 1888 diretory, suggesting that they were sons. Ephraim can be verified as the son of this Ephraim in his death certificate dated 1944. Albert can be verified as his brother in the 1920 census records for Montgomery Co., Ohio. He and his wife were born in England and had at least one child, Ephraim born in Bilston, England. According to their son, Ephraim's obituary, they emigrated to America when Ephraim was 11 calculating that to be about 1883/4. They are in the 1881 census for England before they emigrated with much of the information on this family coming from this source. He was a scrap iron dealer like his Benjamin Dimmack. According to this census he was born in Adenhill, England and had his children in Bilston, Staffordshire, England. This verifies that his son Ephraim was born in Bilston, and not Bristol as a family member reported in Ephraim Jr.'s death record. Ephraim Sr. and his family lived on 118 Pinfold St., Darlaston, Stafford, Eng in this 1881 census. I'm fairly certain that I have found Ephraim as a child living with his parents, James and Sarah Dimmock in the 1851 census. In it, it gives his birthyear the same as the 1881 census and his birthplace instead as Rowley, co. Worcestershire, England. I am unable to find either Adenhill in Staffordshire or Rowley Regis on current maps of Worcestershire, but I suspect that Rowley Regis would have been more accurate as that is where his parents were still living when Ephraim was a boy. Towns in that border area changed hands often as to what counties they were in. I believe this to be the same family because his brother Alfred was the next child born after him matching the age of his brother Alfred that moved to West Virginia and their likely brother Joseph that I had connected into this family earlier. It appears that Ephraim Sr. died before 1900 as Harriet Dimmick is in the 1900 census for Marshall Co., West Virginia with sons Ephraim, Frank and Arthur. Her eldest son, Albert and daughters are no longer living at home. Marshall is the county bordering Ohio County on the south and was originally formed from Ohio County, West Virginia. To summarize, we know the names of their children from various sources. Ephraim Jr. has his parents verified as Ephraim and Harriet in his death certificate. His brother is Albert in the 1920 census records for Ohio. Ephraim, Frank, and Aurthur are listed as Harriet's sons in the 1900 West Virginia census. Then two other daughters are listed by exact birth place in England in another descendants research. They were born just two miles from where Ephraim was born in England. These siblings names are mostly verified in Ephraim Jr.'s obituary.	DIMMOCK, Ephraim Sr. (I7817)
2368	It is highly likely that this William is the son of Big John. Big John's son William had a wife named Mary who witnessed her husband's sale of land in Newberry, SC in 1807. He is often stated to have the same children as attributed to thlliam and Mary who lived in Miami Co., Ohio. There is no overlap in timelines if he is the same William who was the probable son of Big John. There is also now much DNA evidence that this line goes through Big John. Three tests through William closely match a test through Big John's son James named in his will and to Wright Coate whom you'll see mentioned below. They were all said to be his sons in Summeral's early Coate research and in Randolph Co., IL books. William bought 100 acres of land in 1785 from John Wright, Jr. that adjoined Big John's land north of Newberry, South Carolina. He is likely to be the William Coats who was listed on the same page as Big John in the 1800 census records for Newberry Co., South Carolina. He and his wife were between the ages of 26 and 45. He had 2 sons under age 11, one between 10 and 16 and 4 daughters under age 11 and 1 from ten to 16 at that time. In 1799, he bought land on Beaverdam, on the waters of the Saluda from Elisha Oneal. He sold part if not all of this land in 1807 to James Brooks. Wright Coate (his brother?) was a witness to this sale. On Nov. 2, 1802, Wright Coats sold him 150 acres that adjoined his first purchase. He appears to have moved to Miami Co., Ohio by about 1807. In 1810, his "adopted" brother John (named as a brother in "The History of Miami County Ohio", p. 462) gives him guardianship of his children including a son named Henry born in 1799. I am calling John adopted, because everyone in his matching DNA group are not related to all of the other Big John Coate sons. According to "Beers History of Miami County" on Newberry Township, William and John were the 2nd and 3rd settlers of the northwest quarter of Section 30, Newberry Twp. along with son-in-law (i.e. Daniel Wright) of William Coats. Beers called it the Upper Piqua region where wars with the Indians meant that Col. John Johnston requested Captain George Buchanan to send a detail of men to protect certain public property and harvest the wheat at the beginning of the war (about 1812). William and John Coats (This could be his brother or son John who came with him to Ohio in "The History of Miami County) settled next to Michael Ingle in Stillwater. Will's son in law, Daniel Wright lived nearby at the corner of what is now Main and Wright St. in Covington, Ohio. According to that same history, they sold this land in 1822 when William and family moved to Indiana. "Pioneer Ancestors of Members of Society of Indiana Pioneers", states that William Coats who settled in Marion Co., Indiana in 1822, was born in South Carolina about 1768 before moving to Ohio and then Indiana. Specifically, "William received a patent in Miami County for the NE 1/4 of Sec. 30, Twp. 8, Range 5E (159.06 acres) on 28 Jan 1811. He and Polly sold part of that land to their son-in-law Daniel Wright 25 Oct. 1813. They sold more to James Dickey on 15 May 1820 and the rest on 20 July 1822 to James Thompson." Their son John had a section of it which he also sold in 1822. "On 16 Nov 1822, William bought 80 acres of land (E 1/2 NW 1/4 Sec. 29) in Marion County, Washington Twp. IN. (See Marion County, Indiana Records by J.E. Darlington). His son Joseph Coats also bought two parcels of land in Washington Township and his son William Coats Jr. bought 80 acres on the same day his father did in the same area." (Quotes are from John H. Coats, Email, 2004) "The History of Randolph Co., IN" says he was born in Paisley, (Scotland) and was the son of Phillip. The book was written in 1882 and would have been the kind of book being published at the time that interviewed family members (living grandchildren of William) to highlight a communities citizens. Errors were often made in these publications as family heresay was involved. In this case, someone probably was hoping that they were descendants of the wealthy Coate Thread company in Paisley, Scotland. Some of these descendants could have been the Coate's that hired a genealogist in the early 1900's to connect them to the Coats thread company family. She/he did not find any proof but in reality also gave a highly questionable genealogy for them known now as "The Old Coates Genealogy" that is riddled with errors. What I do believe is accurate from the history are the names of William and his children, all of whom would have been known by living kin at the time. The children named in this source were John, William, Joseph, Hepsy Wright, Rhoda Wrench, Hetty Harrison and ? Beanblossom. It failed to mention an Elizabeth, Sampson or Henry that I've also seen mentioned in this family. Out of these 3, I personally believe that Elizabeth is also William's child. These children's names can be verified by the following patterns. All of the spouses it mentioned are verified in marriage records for Indiana and Ohio. William moved to Miami Co., Ohio about 1807. (C-1065, 1898) He lived next to his son Joseph in the 1820 census for Miami Co., Ohio. He was listed at over age 45 in this record with one son between the age of 10 and 16 (Henry), plus two females age 16-26 (Hetty and Hepsy) in his household. His son Joseph was age 26 to 45 with two sons under age 10 and a wife age 16-26. (E) His son-in-law, Daniel Wright also lived in Newberry Twp. with a very large family within a few dozen homes of his in this census. Before William died, he and his sons, William and Joseph, purchased land in Marion Co., Indiana records in 1822. His daughter, "Hettie" apparently moved with them and married in that county in 1823. The Randolph Co., Indiana History also stated that family reunions for the family still took place in 1888 in Randolph Co. that included descendants of William's sons, William and Joseph, who had moved elsewhere (Marion and Howard Co., IN), as well as his son John who had moved to Randolph Co., Indiana. William's children are also listed the same way in Willard Heiss's and Mary Helen Pemberton's work. William Coats died by Sept. 1826 in Marion Co., IN without leaving a will. Pages 146-7 of the Inventory and Sale Book A for Marion County, IN give the appraisement and inventory by his administrators/sons, Joseph and William Coats. Buyers at the sale include Joseph Coats, William Coats and William Sr's son-in-law Daniel Wright. Some second hand sources say he died on Jan. 16, 1828 instead. The next question is how is William related to Marmaduke Coate of Newberry, SC? There is the possibility that William is the grandson of William or his brother Henry of Hunterdon Co., NJ and Newberry Co., South Carolina. We believe we know most of the descendants of Henry but have only figured out a couple of William's likely sons and grandchildren so far. By age and place he'd fit into the family through one of these two Coate's also. The supporting evidence for this later possibility is that the current day descendants of William through his son Joseph had the clear family tradition that they were related to Marmaduke Coate of SC who is the son of Henry. Their DNA testing also is within 1 point out of 36 points of a match - the closest match to Marmaduke (b. 1738) so far. What doesn't match thought is William's brother John.. current day descendants of John are not genetically related to William throwing us a curve ball. One likely theory is that William was the son of Big John, but John (William's supposed brother) was simply adopted by Big John.	COATS, William (I13701)
2369	It is likely but not proven that John is a brother to this Thomas and has the same lineage as Thomas. John witnessed the will of Thomas in Watton, England. (F-530)	HALE, Thomas (I16109)
2370	It is likely that Corzada died before 1870 as she is not in that census record with her family.	NUTTER, Canzada (I350)
2371	It is likely that Elinor is the daughter of William Harrison, who had sons Thomas (b. 1540), Hugh (b. 1541) and Henry (b. 1544) in St. Edmunds Parish, Dudley, Staffordshire, ENG. (C-750) Elinor's name was spelled various ways in the r. She was listed as Elinore Harisone at her marriage, Eleanor Bagley as her husband's administrator, and "Olde Elner Bagley" at her burial. (C-1364)	HARISONE, Elinore (I13535)
2372	It is likely that Janos was the brother to Mihaly. Janos had died by the time his daughter, Anna, married. The date she had married was missing from the Byzantine church records. However, the witness, was Mihaly Vovcsik who was her probncle. He lived in house 72 along the only street in Nevike in the 1869 census for that area. He is only living a few homes from the rest of his family that lived in home 75. He was the oldest and the younger siblings would have built a home out further most likely.	VOVCSIK, Janos (I9723)
2373	It is likely that the following info from Alabama applies to a daughter of this Isaac and Mary. "The Tuscaloosa Co., Alabama Heritage Book: Martha Eliza Jane Hannah Sophia Coats m. 22 July 1852 to John Harrison Jennings. She was d/o Id Mary Coats of South Carolina." (provided by D.J. Rowe)	COATE, Isaac (I11614)
2374	It is likely that this George Glenn was the George that purchased land in Gallia Co., Ohio on Nov. 23, 1837 in Twp. 7, range 16 (Huntington Twp.), section 21. There are multiple other land purchases by a George Glenn that might also applym. He is probably the father of John H. Glenn who owns multiple sections of land that adjoin George Glenn's land. George moved to Santa Cruz Co., CA for a while where at least one son was born before settling in Missouri where he died. (CL-449)	GLENN, George (I15760)
2375	It is likely this Aaron who got a certificate to Gwynedd Monthly Meeting on 4/7/1749 from the Falls Monthly Meeting in Bucks Co., Pennsylvania (C-1682) He is also likely to be the Aaron who was listed with the Irish movement from Bradfordster Co., PA to the Warrington M.M., York Co., PA in 1767. (C-1741) According to Ettie Tidwell McCall's book, Aaron died unmarried. This disagrees with most other sources I've come across. He was willed 33 acres of land that had been surveyed for him in his fathers 1761 will. There is an Aaron who wrote his will in 1776 in Philadelphia, PA that might be him. According to descendant Janet Payne, he died between 1767 to 1779 in York Co., PA and a third source gives his death date as 1801 in Chester Co., PA where he's buried in Pikeland Friends Burial Ground. (C-1665, 1667, 1977)	COATES, Aaron (I14468)
2376	It is listed in her christening record that she was the daughter of John Cotte. She is not named in his will.	COTTE, Anne (I2657)
2377	It is my theory that Bettie who lists herself as the Aunt of Mary Sue True in the 1900 census, was from the farm of Elizabeth Lumpkins in Madison Co., Alabama. That is why she took the name Lumpkins when she was emancipated during the Civil War. If she is blood relative of Mary Sue True which remains to be seen hopefully through DNA at some point in time, than this is a reasonable explanation of their relationship.	LUMPKINS, Bettie (I2068)
2378	It is my theory that Mathias Dimmack of Bilston, Wolverhampton Parish, England was the one who was a brother to my Benjamin. I state this because he was of the right age and named a daughter Keturah Ann who was almost the same age as myandmother Keturah Dimmack. He lived on the same street, St. No. 53 in Bilston as his likely son Thomas in the 1881 census. In the 1861 census, their surname was spelled Dunmack by the census taker. They lived in West Bromwich, Staffordshire, England at the time. This is the same Parish where my great grandmother Keturah was born in 1855. The 1841 and 1861 census says that Mathias was born in Rowley, Staffordshire, England in this census whereas the 1881 census lists him as being born in Netherton, Staffordshire, England. He lived in Bilston, Staffordshire, Wolverhampton, England at the time.	DIMMACK, Mathias (I5246)
2379	It is my theory that Robert's daughter, Nancy, is the Nancy who married Asa Amos in 1815 in Stokes Co, North Carolina. She is related to my Susanah Hunter by DNA and by all of the locations they lived in together. In 1820, Nancy and her husband Amos have moved to Guyandotte, Cabell, Virginia where Susanah Hunter married William D. Clark in 1823. In the 1830's their families moved to Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. They all attended the same Baptist Church and were buried in the same cemetery. I have 3 DNA triangulations proving that my Susanah is the granddaughter of John M. Hunter and Rachel McFarland and his ancestral line. I had checked the DNA of over 50 Hunters before I found this family as a match. It was the Stokes County marriage for Nancy that clued me into checking some of the brothers and parents of Robert when I started finding the pattern I had been searching for. Ancestry also has many cousins who descend from his parents through various children matching me in through lines with 8 cM matches on up. I am most closely related to one of these cousins descended from Robert at 22 cM's. Nancy was born in 1798 according to her cemetery stone in Gallia Co., Ohio. Susanah was born on Apr. 12, 1802 according to her stone. Robert supposedly had a son Robert in June of 1802. I currently theorize that this can be explained because Susanah was the offspring of Robert and one of his many slaves. I have half-cousin relationships showing up in this line suggesting they didn't have the same mother. I have not been able to find Robert in the 1790-1810 census records. His children's birthplaces are listed all over the place in Virginia. I haven't seen proof of where they were born or lived at the time. In the 1820 census, he has one son under 10 (Richard) one between 10 and 16 (Charles Ellis) and he is between 26 and 45. He has 1 daughter under 10, 2 between 10 and 16 (Catherine), 2 women between 16-26 (Mary and Catherine S.), and 3 between 26 and 45 (Elizabeth, Jane, and his wife Nancy) living in his household. Daughter Nancy had married in 1815 in Stokes Co., NC ahead of her older sisters. If I am deciphering the other columns correctly, it looks like one family member was engaged in agriculture, 10 people engaged in manufacturing (which could have been part of the 30 plus slaves he appears to have "owned". Six of these appear to be women from age 26-45. None of them appear to be Susanah's age. I believe by the 1820 census she has moved with her half-sibling, Nancy Hunter Amos and family to Cabell Co., Virginia. He has died before the 1830 census. Note that Susanah would account for one of his unknown daughters between the ages of 10 and 16 at the time. It's also important to note that I have the most DNA cousin matches and 22 cM's with one of these 3 cousins who all descend from Robert. I have an alternate theory on the parentage of Susanah. Robert sadly owned many slaves. It's possible she is only the half-sibling to Nancy and is the daughter of Robert and one of his many slaves. Supporting this would be the fact that she married William D. Clark whom we have every reason to believe was a mulatto, even though he passed for white. His son, my ancestor, also had extremely kinky hair and was dark-complected. His skin could pass for a dark tan and he had a very pointed narrow nose from an old tin-type photo suggesting why he passed as white in the census. In any case, she and Nancy were very close and lived their adult lives near each other, even in their church and burial. This suggests they might have been close and lived on the same farm when they were young. Both Nancy and Susanah's place of birth is confused as sometimes in Virginia and sometimes in North Carolina.	HUNTER, Robert * (I11266)
2380	It is not certain she is his wife. She, (her husband according to Colonial Families of the US) and his mother died in the Long Cane Creek Indian massacre near Abbeville, SC in 1760. He is the James who accounts for the 1765 record ina Co. If his wife and mother died in that massacre, he could have moved back to where he came from for safety's sake. Nancy Susannah Long and the Agnes Long who married Captain William Calhoun appear to be sisters in 2nd hand sources.	LONG, Nancy Susannah (I10670)
2381	It is not certain that Henry is their son, but it is the only baptism for a Henry to father, Edward Norris. Westbury in 32 miles from Tetbury, England also still making it plausible. It is very hard to discern his mother's name in this record as an Elizabeth though.	NORRIS, Henry (I17675)
2382	It is not certain that Sarah's surname was Perry, only that her first name was Sarah as stated in her husband's 1830 will. She, along with sons Sion and Gideon ended up in what was Cherokee Co., Alabama shortly after her husband's deathe homestead they built there was still standing in Oct. 1999 when Michael Tucker was corresponding with the Coates Discussion Group on the Internet.

2383	It is not known with any certainty if this Rachel ever was real or a wife of Joseph. The only evidence we have is a christening record made after the fact listing Joseph's daughter, Rachel's christening that lists her mother as Rachel.e have been no records found of any marriage between a Joseph and a Rachel and his daughter is listed as the daughter of Joseph and Margaret Wells in her marriage record.	MARSH, Rachel (I6312)
2384	It is not known with any certainty whom James Wright's father is. The group I think he is in is haplogroup I-M253, group 1 at the Wright YDNA group. That is a guestimate and not proven. As for the current theories from research, here are the ones I have found without good support for any of them currently. 1. Tradition says that there were five Wright brothers that settled on the Eastern Shore of Maryland during the Colonial period as professed by several aged persons in THE WRIGHT ANCESTRY by Capt. Charles W. Wright, 1907. 2. Two other brothers settled in Baltimore Co, Maryland according to one of these ancients. Maryland's southern border is on the Atlantic Ocean. The additional 2 brothers that settled in Baltimore would have entered Chesapeake Bay and gone north to Baltimore. Baltimore is about 55 miles south by water from where our James Wright can first be verified as living in East Nottingham, Chester Co., PA (now of Cecil Co., MD) via the same bay that comes in from the southeastern side of Maryland on the Atlantic Ocean. 3. James's father according to Don Wright in the "Footprints Database" is John Wright of Pennsylvania. This probably refers to 13 volumes microfiched and available through Salt Lake City's library: "Footprints of Our Past : Our Ancestors and their Descendants" by Don P. Wright. He edited this publication through 1992 under that name and his main interest was researching the Wright surname. In any case, this Wright family lived above Noris Ford on Marshy Hope Creek literally at the boundary of Maryland and Delaware. It is near 100 miles by land and across the Chesapeake Bay east of where our James Wright can be verified as living in East Nottingham (Now Cecil Co., MD.) in 1707. It is a creek that runs south into the Nanticoke River which runs into the Chesapeake Bay making it even further by water. John was a possible son of two brothers, William (b. bef. 1658 surmised from the fact that he had 5 sons who were born before he died in 1686) and a James Wright that settled in Dorchester Co., MD about 1682 above Noris Ford (Northwest Fork Ford) of Marshy Hope Creek. That part of Dorchester Co., MD is now a part of Caroline Co., Maryland due to boundary changes. William and James possibly emigrated on the "Bristol Factor" in that same year with one of William Penn's colonies probably through Bristol, England. (C-951) The two brothers were Quaker preachers and traveled extensively to preach to Quaker communities. Brother William died in Dorchester before June 5, 1686. He had sons William (who married Sarah Noble), Roger, Edward, Samuel and John. (This is likely the John that Don Wright's "Footprints Database" refers to. His sons Edward, Samuel and John supposedly moved west which at that point in time would have been east of the Allegheny Mountains.) His son, Roger, who lived in Dorchester and had several children including sons named Levin, William and James. Many of the Wrights in Maryland and Delaware descend from this William. No descendants lineages were apparently kept for James' children according to "The Wright Ancestry of Caroline, Dorchester, Somerset and Wicomico Counties, Maryland." The two brothers were known as Niccolite or Quaker Wrights because of their strict religious sect. The James Wright who came over with his brother William in 1682, might even be our James or William's grandson at a stretch might be our James. The births of our James and Mary Wright are recorded with the Niccolite Births (Quaker Record Abstracts) in the Hall of Records at Annapolis, Anne Arundel Co., MD supporting this theory. Their particular group was known as the "Northwest Fork River Niccolite Friends." Of course, if one of these James is our James, it still doesn't tell us who his father is. It might be helpful to note that Dorchester Co., MD is 110 miles south from where we can verify that James Wright first lived which was East Nottingham, Chester Co., PA (Now in Cecil Co., Maryland) via the Chesapeake Bay. They and several generations of their descendants worshipped at the Niccolite Quaker Meeting House Branch near Federalsburg, Maryland and at Piney Grove Monthly after it moved locations. Of all the theories I'm seeing presented, this one is the one with the greatest hope of including our James' ancestors and I will be studying it with a relish. "The Wright Ancestry of Caroline, Dorchester, Somerset and Wicomico Counties, Maryland" is currently available as a free Ebook on Google Books by the way. It should be noted if this theory ends up being correct, Naomi Wright is supposed to have been a sister to the above brothers. She lived in Sussex Co., Delaware and married Joseph Atkins shortly after their 2nd declaration of intention to marry on Mar. 30, 1699. (C-258, 259) However, there was at least one Naomi Wright whom is not the sister of William and James but the daughter of Arthur and Abigall Wright in Dorchester Co., Maryland at the time that possibly is this Naomi Wright. In 19 July 1679, An Account of Arthur Wright's estate is recorded, with payments to 147 people. Abigall Wright is listed as administratrix. (MD Accounts and Inventories Lib. 6 fol. 187) On 29 September 1679, Abigail Wright of Dorchester County, widow, gave to her children, Grace Wright, Absalom Wright, Edward Williams, Arthur Wright and Naomi Wright: Livestock. Witnesses Wm. Stephens, Thomas Taylor, William Smithson Acknowledged September 29, 1679. (Dorchester Land Record 4 old 6)*It should also be noted that I'm simply not finding persons whom are tracing their lineages back through anyone but William's son William whom married Sarah Noble - and their dating estimates are really throwing this lineage off.3. A very common ancestral line in public member trees at Ancestry says James was born in Chester Co., PA and was the son of Thomas Wright and Elizabeth Chittenden. 4. Also often stated is that he is the son of John and Martha Wright of Connecticut and John was the son of the above Thomas Wright and Elizabeth Chittenden. A well researched Wright descendant has Thomas and Elizabeth Chittenden Wright listing totally different children and places of birth at http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~legends/wright.html. They descend through an unrelated Connecticut branch of Wrights that go back through Essex Co, England. Y-DNA supports the fact that the Thomas Wright and Elizabeth Chittenden group descends from the Essex Co., England group. It's a very clear match to that grouping with a haplo group of E-M78 and YDNA shows that match. https://www.familytreedna.com/public/wright/default.aspx?section=yresults4. 5. A book referred to as the "Wright Briscoe Pioneers" believed James's father to be one of three brothers, Joshua, Thomas or Samuel who came from Yorkshire, England to New Jersey in 1677. These were sons of Robert Wright and Alice Lawtie of East Riding, Yorkshire, England. We can rule out Joshua Wright and his wife, Elizabeth Empson. Their son was: Richard Wright 1651. A clue to this family is where they lived. James and his wife died in Frederick Co., Virginia. People from Pennsylvania and Maryland had first settled it sometime between 1738 and 1743. All we know for certain is that they were there before 1759. From East Nottingham (Chester Co., PA, now Cecil Co., MD) they would possibly have come down the Chesapeake Bay to the Potomac River and then taken the old "Indian Trail" down the Opequon Creek basin 35 miles to the newly formed Frederick Co., Virginia. This trail later became known as the "Great Valley Road". It was a common route of passage for early migrantion into Frederick Co., VA.	WRIGHT, James * I-FTD9427 (I16090)
2385	It is not known with certainty that James is a son of Joseph and Elsy Tharp. He is in the 1820 census for Gallia Co, OH where this family lived for several years before moving to Indiana. Dana Norton conjectures that he may be thd of Jane Tharpe found in Boone Co., IN from 1840-1860. She died in 1864 and listed the following children in her will: William Joseph, Sarah, Elcy, Elizabeth and Mahala. (CL-425, 432)	THARP, James (I549)
2386	It is not now certain that Harry Thomas Owen's father was Thomas. Even if his name was Thomas as suspected from Welsh naming patterns, there appear to have been two Thomas Owens living in Machynlleth. The famous Thomas Owen who has been ped as his father in even the American President's genealogies is now considered unlikely to be Harry's father. This Thomas served as Mayor of Machynlleth in 20 James (1622) and later as Magistrate. He was a well-to-do landowner like his father around Machynlleth. In the REGISTRUM UNIVERSITATIS OXONIENSIS is lists that he graduated from Oxford specifically Jesus College, Oxford on May 3, 1616 at age 20. That would place his birth date around 1598 even though other source estimates are around 1607. (C-437,p6) He died in 1672. The Owen home, originally built around 400 years ago, called "Llynlloed" is possibly where the Magistrate Thomas lived. Photographs and diagrams of it are in the Harry Harold, July. 1991 issue. The original home is inside the structure that has been added to and currently stands in Wales. (C-750) This Magistrate Thomas Owen line goes back maternally through many branches of Royalty. However, it is now considered HIGHLY suspect because 1) Hugh Thomas Owen's son Hugh Harry is listed as a pauper in his son's American Quaker records, 2) Hugh Harry when he came to America was a weaver, a profession not likely for the grandchild of someone with the stature of the above Thomas Owen, 3) Hugh Thomas did not live in Macynlleth originally, but apparently moved there from elsewhere (which is not the case with the well-to-do Thomas Owen above described) and 4) Thomas Owen, the magistrate, in his will, lists 2 sons and 8 daughters and all his grandchildren. He does not list Harry or Henry as a son. This last point might not matter since he could have disowned a son Harry when he became a Quaker. (C-1209, E)	AP ROWLAND, Thomas (I12586)
2387	It is only theory that this Agnes was the wife of John Bagley whose wife's first name we have not been able to locate. If so, she would have been 24 at the time of their marriage. (C-1364) The St. Edmund Parish records are no longerle from Jun 3, 1600 to May 3, 1601. This is the likely time period for John and Miss Tomlinson's marriage based on the baptismal date of their first child. (C-1364, 2247) There is controversy whether or not John Bagley's wife was the daughter of Elizabeth Tomlinson or her sister or sister's daughter. If she was Elizabeth's sister, the theory states she was Agnes or Joan or another unknown that like Elizabeth, did not have a christening record.	TOMLINSON, Agnes (I12789)
2388	It is possible that he was married twice. The Annals of Newberry give his daughter, Priscilla's mother's name as Mary.	TURNER, William (I5296)
2389	It is probable that David Reese married twice, the first time to a Martha. I suspect this because Martha A. Noel Reese, wife of David, died on Sep 31, 1851, age 26y, 5m and 17d and is buried at Old Pine Cemetery in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Coo David is the only Rees by that name living in Raccoon Twp. and he would have been her age. He is in the 1860 census for Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., OH, p. 233, living in the house before John Rees who is next to Elizabeth Rees Phillps (their sister). His wife's name was Ann, age 30. Both were born in Wales. They had daughters Elizabeth (age 4) and Mary (age 2). In the 1870 census, David is 44, b. Wales. His wife, Ann, is 40, b. Wales and they have multiple children as well as his father living with them. David Rees, b. 1826, d. 1909, is buried in Rehobeth Cemetery on the north side of Ebenezer Carmel Road, Section 6 of Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio He is married to Ann, b. 1829 who died in 1901 and was buried next to her husband. An early Welsh Church of the same name once stood where the small cemetery still is. (CL-88, 573)	REESE, David (I9116)
2390	It is Robbie Duroblan's theory that the Joseph Coates living next to Helena Hickman's father John Hickman in South Carolina is the husband of Helena Hickman. His nickname might have been Josee Coates mentioned in some deeds of the timer husband could be Josee Coates instead if he is not one and the same person as Joseph Coates. Pollard and Emilia Coates are mentioned in John Hickman's will dated 1811 as grandchildren and Helena Coates is listed as their mother.	HICKMAN, Helena (I8797)
2391	It is somewhat likely that Susannah married a Coates. I say this because there is an unaccounted for Susan Coates who was the head of household living next to Joseph C. Coppock (her brother) and Hannah Cothran (her Aunt??) in the 1840 Newp., Miami Co., OH census. If this is her, she had 2 sons from age 15-20 and 2 daughters age 10 to 15. She was listed at age 50-60, but this could easily be misinformation from whomever gave info to the census taker. She was actually about age 47 at the time.	COPPOCK, Susannah (I589)
2392	It is the theory of Billie Curry Steeley that this Samuel's parents are James and Rebecca Warwick Curry. Samuel purchased land in1771 in Augusta Co, VA which estimates his birth date at before 1750. By timing and name, he would fit intoamily. He sold this land in 1776 to Robert Young and moved to Hawkins Co., Tennessee. (CL-391) His will is in Hawkins County, Tennessee and it is dated February 22, 1812. "Considering the uncertainty of this mortal life and being of sound and perfect memory, blessed be Almighty God for the same, do make and publish this my last will and testament in manner and form following. (Viz) after all my legal debts are paid. First, I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Mary Curry, the third of my Estate both real and personal. I do also give and bequeath unto my two younger sons, George and Samuel Curry, the plantation whereon I now live. I do also give and bequeath unto my three daughters vs: Rebecca, Ann and Margaret Curry, three cows and calves and four sheep, a feather bed and bed clothes to each, likewise, a horse and saddle, the horse not exceeding eight years old, not under fourteen hands high. I do also give and bequeath unto John McPheeters, Arch'd Simpson, John and James Curry and Reuben Skelton, the sum of one dollar to each. And Lastly, as to all the rest and residue and remainder of my personal estate goods and chattels of what kind and nature soever, I give and bequeath the same to myh said beloved wife Mary Curry whom together with Samuel McPHeeters - Executor and Executrix of this my last will and testament' hereby revoking all former wills by me made. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this twenty second day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand eighty hundred and twelve. Signed, sealed, published and declared. Samuel Curry { Seal} By the above named Samuel Curry to be his last will and testament, in the presence of us who at his request and in his presence have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses to the same. Thomas Connilly John Marshall" (CL-469)	CURRY, Samuel (I16229)
2393	It is theory by time and place that he is brother to James.	HUMPHRY, Roger (I17153)
2394	It is theory on Gary W. Coats part that Thomas came to America and lived in Bucks Co., Pennsylvania. If so he could be the Thomas married to Sarah Ann who ended up in SC and is the ancestor of Gary W. Coats of Portland, Oregon. The df a Thomas is listed in the Bristol M.M. records but it might not belong to the Thomas who is the son of William and Deborah Powell Coats. There are also death dates recorded in the Church of England records for Thomas Coate in 1734 in Goathurst, Somerset, England. If this belongs to him than he was only a Quaker during his childhood. He is of the correct age and place to be the father of William of Goathurst.	COATE, Thomas (I10109)
2395	It is theory on my part that Capt. John and his son Gentleman John of the first English settlement at Jamestown, were the son and grandson of Addame Martyn of Greystoke, Cumberland, England. There are a dozen possible Johns that Captain John could be according to England, Births and Christenings. However, we do know that they were of the upper crust of the Jamestown passengers. We know this from John Jr.'s status of Gentleman in the listing of the first planters of Jamestown. There are only 2 family's of Martins that I have found that were landed gentry in England. One is accounted for by the Massachusetts John Martin in the Visitation of Devon. One is accounted for by the John Martyn in Burkes' Landed Gentry of Greystoke, Cumberland, England that would fit this line of John's born in Greystoke, Cumberland, England.	MARTIN, Capt. John Martyne Martyne (I5145)
2396	It is theory on my part that Codrington was a brother of Samuel Forte. He is listed as an executor of Augustin Dry's will dated 1692 along with Frances Forte, Ursual Forte, Mrs. Ula Forte, and Mary Franck of St. John's Parish, Barbados. If so, he likely died before 1700 as he is not named in further wills. It is possible he was younger than Samuel and his son instead. We know that he was likely at least 21 when when he helped execute a will in 1692 and highly likely older than that. Mrs. Ula Forte is his likely wife and possibly Augustin Dry's daughter. Samuel Forte's daughter Ursula was only 12 and would not account for Ursula Forte who witnessed the will. Samuel Forte's wife was Ursula Forte in administration. That leaves Mrs. Ula Forte to account for the other executrix as the wife of Codrington. The other theory that would explain the relationships suggested by the will is that Mrs. Ula Forte is a sister Augustin Dry. Augustin's wife was listed in London, England.	FORTE, Codrington (I6433)
2397	It is theory on my part that Davis is a son of Joseph of Kershaw Co., South Carolina. Several of Joseph's sons moved from Orangeburgh Co., SC to Kershaw Co., South Carolina. This Davis Coats was on the Petit Jury in that county on 2/22 and he was in a suit on 3/5/1793, Samuel Thompson vs. Thomas Kelly and Davis Coats. It should be noted that his name was hard to read and he could be the David Coats in the area instead.	COATS, Davis (I1557)
2398	It is theory on my part that he is the brother of John by age, time and place.	HUMPHREYS, Edward (I2655)
2399	It is theory on my part that James is the son of Lemuel Coates. He lives next to him and 2 houses from David Coates in the 1820 census for Kershaw Co., South Carolina. It is possible that he is the son of David, Sion, Joseph or Harwells instead as they also are Coates families in the area. In any case, in the 1820 census for Kershaw, he also has one son between the ages of 10-15, 1 daughter under age 10, and a wife between the ages of 26 and 44 like himself. There is a James Coats living in Frederick Co., VA in the 1840 census between the age of 70-80 who might be him.	COATES, James (I1704)
2400	It is theory on my part that Joesph was a cousin to my children's ancestor named Maria Bogdan. They lived in house 92 in Nevike in 1869.	BOGDAN, Joseph (I9990)

It is conjecture on my part that this is the son of James and Polly Glenn. Joseph is definitely a grandson of William and Ann Curry Glenn, by placement of his gravestone in the tight circle behind William and Ann Curry's grave. He could, tfore, be a child of any of William and Ann Curry Glenn's sons.

GLENN, Joseph James Carlisle (I877)

2352

It is conjecture that John and Isaack are brothers to Abell Ingram. John names Abell's daughter in his will as he is going about listing his nieces. However, he doesn't specify if Abell is another of this brothers as well as several oth-relationship given persons below. John did not apparently have children or a wife at the writing of his will, but seemed to have a fairly sizable estate.

Here is a partial transcription of John's will as provided by Lauren Varga of NJ: "In the name of God Amen July 15, 1658, I John Ingram in the parish of Pagham, County of Sussex, ... I doe make and ordaine this my last will and testament in manner and forme following: Impris. I give and leave unto Ann Ingram ye daughter of Isaack Ingram my brother deceased.. All my houses barnes buildings and freehold lands several lying and being in ye said parish of Pagham to have and hold all said house barnes buildings and unto the said Ann Ingram her heyres estates or assignes shall and will pay.. Said lands unto Thomas Ingram my brother or his assignes the sum of 8 pounds yearly of lawfull English money during his naturall life. Item I give unto Ann Royse ye daughter of Jo. Royse/Rofse 5 pounds to be paid at my decease.. Item I give unto Miriam Ingram ye daughter of Abell Ingram ye sum of 5 pounds to be paid for at her age of 21 yearse. Item I give unto Isaack Leggatt ye sum of 20 shillings... Ordaine Grace Ingram daughter of my eldest brother Isaack Ingram my sole executor." (C-1590)

INGRAM, John (I725)

2353

It is conjecture that Lawrence is a son of this William, as William would have had to have moved to Tavemlow for the record to apply to him. Since there is no will for William in Mobberley and he sold his land in 1677, it is consistante probably moved and is the father of Lawrence in Tavemlow.

COPPOCK, Lawrence (I1815)

2354

It is conjecture that she is a Griffith by surname. She is listed as the oldest in her mother's will and the siblings after her were Griffiths. She might have been a daughter of Ann's first husband named Bright.

GRIFFITH, Mary (I10500)

2355

It is conjecture that she was the Mary Coate who died in 1727 but this remains to be proven as she would have been quite elderly at the time.

BARTLET, Mary (I10136)

2356

It is conjecture that this John Millard married twice, the 2nd time to Sarah Forte. It is however, supported by the fact that John is listed as the brother-in-law in Christopher Forte's will dated 1834 and that the witnesses to the will id 2 of John Millard's daughters because they were likely step-daughters of Sarah Forte. John Millard was at one time in the Indian Navy. He became an English merchant by trade. (F-624)

MILLARD, John (I7614)

2357

It is conjecture that this Warwick is the brother of William and son of an older Warwick and his first wife. It simply fits by time and place at this point in the theory building. His wife is named Sarah in the sources for PennsylvaniaC-1677) There is a Warwick who married a Sarah Kelly on May 11, 1777 in Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA that is unaccounted for. (C-1680) The Warwick and Sarah who are listed as the parents of William Coate born 1773, don't seem to fit this 1777 marriage. He is likely the Warwick listed as a Shipwright in the Provincial Tax rolls of Philadelphia Co. in 1774. He is in a 1798 Philadelphia City Directory as a shipwright, living at 24 Queen St. (C-1983) This might be the Warwick whose estate was administered in 1799 in Philadelphia in Book K, p. 26. (C-1686)

COATES, Warwick (I14950)

2358

It is conjecture, but this Gabriel is the right age to be a brother to James Jr. McCool and the son of James Adams and Ann Wright McCool. Also, James Jr. named a son Gabriel, likely after his brother. According to "The Annals of Newbere was a highly conscientious and good man. (C-236) This Gabriel was disowned on 4/24/1773 for marrying his first cousin.

MCCOOL, Gabriel (I13084)

2359

It is entirely possible that Rebecca is the Rebecca Coate that marries John Carter on the 6/28/1798 Deer Creek MM in Chester Co., Pennsylvania. Her closest relative and likely father is listed as Isaac Coate.

COATES, Rebecca (I997)

2360

It is entirely possible that the following record belongs to this John and that his brother William followed him to the new world a few years later. There was a John Underwood that preceeded this batch of Underwoods to old Rappahanno. He married Dorothy Cayhoes, widow of William Cayhoes in Nov. of 1645. Those records are now available in York Co., VA records.

UNDERWOOD, John (I1501)

2361

It is extremely difficult to read her last name in the 1869 census. She is listed as the head of household's mother-in-law in house 36 and would be Anna Bogdan's mother. She is listed as a widow.

MELERUIS, Anna (I9802)

2362

It is family tradition that the Bruce Riggs who was Eva's first husband was, to everyone's dismay, a leader in the Ku Klux Clan. He enlisted in World War I in Richwood, Nicholas, West Virginia on Sep. 12, 1918. His nearest relative was his wife, Eva. He was tall, of medium build and had blue eyes and dark hair. They lived at 14 Chesnut St., Richwood, Nicolas Co., WV. In the 1920 census, he worked in and they boarded in the Paper Mill in Richwood, WV. They had a son named Bruce Junior about 1921-1922. He died of tuberculosis in Aug. of 1924.

RIGGS, Bruce O. (I31)

2363

It is family tradition that the Doudes were originally from Ireland. Henry Doude immigrated in 1639 from Guilford, Co. Surry, England (17 miles sw of London) under the guidance of Reverend Henry Whitfield and settled in Guilford, Conne. (F-99) He was an indentured servant. (F-507) He built a home 1/4" mile from the northeast corner of the "Green" on the road passing on the east side of the "Green." His descendant, William Dowd was living in his home in 1885. His exact residence at the time of his death and grave sight are unknown though they are likely to be near where his home was. Many of the earliest members were buried in the village green that he lived near.

He married before leaving England as there is no record of marriage or first born as well as a few other children in Connecticut. He signed his name "Doude" under the heading of PLANTERS on shipboard before landing at Guilford. He was one of the founding fathers of Guilford, CT and is on the 1650 Planters list, although he hadn't yet been admitted as a Freeman. A later list which probably includes only freeman gives his death date as Aug. 31, 1668. (F-498, 501, 526)

There is a chance that this Henry's wife, Elizabeth, mother of Thomas Dowd, is confused with another Henry Dowd's wife. Torrey's "New England Marriages", says that Elizabeth, wife of Henry, was b. in 1639 or 1648. This would make her the age of her children. The original source needs to be rechecked. (F-427) It would make sense if those were the possible marriage dates instead.

The births of only some of his children are recorded in the town records. (F-496) His possible parents have been identified as Thomas and Elizabeth Doude by a Doude descendant who is in the process of distributing his proof currently. (F-517)

His property is currently owned by a descendant who had no idea she was purchasing her ancestor's land at the time. The rock garden photo included with Henry's information is a part of Henry's property and was kindly submitted by Tracy Tomasell
i of Guilford, CT. (F:PHO)

According to information from the "Mamie Doud Eisenhower birth place Foundation, North Carolina.," the Doud's who came from Guilford, England in 1639 are the direct ancestral line of President Eisenhower's wife, Mamie Geneva Doud. (F-618)

DOUDE, Henry (I15600)

2364

It is highly likely that a Richard Bredham is an older brother of Adam also living in Walberton, England. Richard had his first child, Elizabeth in May of 1618. Adam had his first child Elizabeth in May of 1620. From this, we can te that their mother's name was Elizabeth and their father's name was either Richard or Adam. (C-1592)

BREDHAM, Adam (I16750)

2365

It is highly likely that Lydia married a David Gregg, as they are both listed in the relatives column as witnessing the marriage of her brother, John Coppock to Margaret Coulson.

COPPOCK, Lydia (I5831)

2366

It is highly likely that she is the Nancy Gaskins who married a William W. Glenn in Gallia Co., OH in Feb. of 1856. Since we do not find her first husband in the census records for 1860, it is likely he was deceased previous to 1856. Sld have had a young child to care for and therefore remarried.

ROSE, Nancy (I8332)

2367

It is highly likely that this Ephraim is the son of this James. I believe this to be true because my father said he had family in Wheeling, West Virginia because he had 2nd cousins in Ohio named Albert and Ephraim whom came from there.A match on Ancestry is supporting this also between a person whom descends from Harriet, Ephraim's daughter, myself and 3 others all with matching DNA whom are descendants of Benjamin. Ephraim was a rag and junk dealer in the Wheeling town directories. He lived at 39 20th St. in 1888 and at 84 19th St. in 1890. He had Albert and Ephraim living with him in the 1888 diretory, suggesting that they were sons. Ephraim can be verified as the son of this Ephraim in his death certificate dated 1944. Albert can be verified as his brother in the 1920 census records for Montgomery Co., Ohio. He and his wife were born in England and had at least one child, Ephraim born in Bilston, England. According to their son, Ephraim's obituary, they emigrated to America when Ephraim was 11 calculating that to be about 1883/4. They are in the 1881 census for England before they emigrated with much of the information on this family coming from this source. He was a scrap iron dealer like his Benjamin Dimmack. According to this census he was born in Adenhill, England and had his children in Bilston, Staffordshire, England. This verifies that his son Ephraim was born in Bilston, and not Bristol as a family member reported in Ephraim Jr.'s death record. Ephraim Sr. and his family lived on 118 Pinfold St., Darlaston, Stafford, Eng in this 1881 census. I'm fairly certain that I have found Ephraim as a child living with his parents, James and Sarah Dimmock in the 1851 census. In it, it gives his birthyear the same as the 1881 census and his birthplace instead as Rowley, co. Worcestershire, England. I am unable to find either Adenhill in Staffordshire or Rowley Regis on current maps of Worcestershire, but I suspect that Rowley Regis would have been more accurate as that is where his parents were still living when Ephraim was a boy. Towns in that border area changed hands often as to what counties they were in. I believe this to be the same family because his brother Alfred was the next child born after him matching the age of his brother Alfred that moved to West Virginia and their likely brother Joseph that I had connected into this family earlier. It appears that Ephraim Sr. died before 1900 as Harriet Dimmick is in the 1900 census for Marshall Co., West Virginia with sons Ephraim, Frank and Arthur. Her eldest son, Albert and daughters are no longer living at home. Marshall is the county bordering Ohio County on the south and was originally formed from Ohio County, West Virginia. To summarize, we know the names of their children from various sources. Ephraim Jr. has his parents verified as Ephraim and Harriet in his death certificate. His brother is Albert in the 1920 census records for Ohio. Ephraim, Frank, and Aurthur are listed as Harriet's sons in the 1900 West Virginia census. Then two other daughters are listed by exact birth place in England in another descendants research. They were born just two miles from where Ephraim was born in England. These siblings names are mostly verified in Ephraim Jr.'s obituary.

DIMMOCK, Ephraim Sr. (I7817)

It is highly likely that this William is the son of Big John. Big John's son William had a wife named Mary who witnessed her husband's sale of land in Newberry, SC in 1807. He is often stated to have the same children as attributed to thlliam and Mary who lived in Miami Co., Ohio. There is no overlap in timelines if he is the same William who was the probable son of Big John. There is also now much DNA evidence that this line goes through Big John. Three tests through William closely match a test through Big John's son James named in his will and to Wright Coate whom you'll see mentioned below. They were all said to be his sons in Summeral's early Coate research and in Randolph Co., IL books. William bought 100 acres of land in 1785 from John Wright, Jr. that adjoined Big John's land north of Newberry, South Carolina. He is likely to be the William Coats who was listed on the same page as Big John in the 1800 census records for Newberry Co., South Carolina. He and his wife were between the ages of 26 and 45. He had 2 sons under age 11, one between 10 and 16 and 4 daughters under age 11 and 1 from ten to 16 at that time. In 1799, he bought land on Beaverdam, on the waters of the Saluda from Elisha Oneal. He sold part if not all of this land in 1807 to James Brooks. Wright Coate (his brother?) was a witness to this sale. On Nov. 2, 1802, Wright Coats sold him 150 acres that adjoined his first purchase. He appears to have moved to Miami Co., Ohio by about 1807. In 1810, his "adopted" brother John (named as a brother in "The History of Miami County Ohio", p. 462) gives him guardianship of his children including a son named Henry born in 1799. I am calling John adopted, because everyone in his matching DNA group are not related to all of the other Big John Coate sons. According to "Beers History of Miami County" on Newberry Township, William and John were the 2nd and 3rd settlers of the northwest quarter of Section 30, Newberry Twp. along with son-in-law (i.e. Daniel Wright) of William Coats. Beers called it the Upper Piqua region where wars with the Indians meant that Col. John Johnston requested Captain George Buchanan to send a detail of men to protect certain public property and harvest the wheat at the beginning of the war (about 1812). William and John Coats (This could be his brother or son John who came with him to Ohio in "The History of Miami County) settled next to Michael Ingle in Stillwater. Will's son in law, Daniel Wright lived nearby at the corner of what is now Main and Wright St. in Covington, Ohio. According to that same history, they sold this land in 1822 when William and family moved to Indiana. "Pioneer Ancestors of Members of Society of Indiana Pioneers", states that William Coats who settled in Marion Co., Indiana in 1822, was born in South Carolina about 1768 before moving to Ohio and then Indiana. Specifically, "William received a patent in Miami County for the NE 1/4 of Sec. 30, Twp. 8, Range 5E (159.06 acres) on 28 Jan 1811. He and Polly sold part of that land to their son-in-law Daniel Wright 25 Oct. 1813. They sold more to James Dickey on 15 May 1820 and the rest on 20 July 1822 to James Thompson." Their son John had a section of it which he also sold in 1822. "On 16 Nov 1822, William bought 80 acres of land (E 1/2 NW 1/4 Sec. 29) in Marion County, Washington Twp. IN. (See Marion County, Indiana Records by J.E. Darlington). His son Joseph Coats also bought two parcels of land in Washington Township and his son William Coats Jr. bought 80 acres on the same day his father did in the same area." (Quotes are from John H. Coats, Email, 2004) "The History of Randolph Co., IN" says he was born in Paisley, (Scotland) and was the son of Phillip. The book was written in 1882 and would have been the kind of book being published at the time that interviewed family members (living grandchildren of William) to highlight a communities citizens. Errors were often made in these publications as family heresay was involved. In this case, someone probably was hoping that they were descendants of the wealthy Coate Thread company in Paisley, Scotland. Some of these descendants could have been the Coate's that hired a genealogist in the early 1900's to connect them to the Coats thread company family. She/he did not find any proof but in reality also gave a highly questionable genealogy for them known now as "The Old Coates Genealogy" that is riddled with errors. What I do believe is accurate from the history are the names of William and his children, all of whom would have been known by living kin at the time. The children named in this source were John, William, Joseph, Hepsy Wright, Rhoda Wrench, Hetty Harrison and ? Beanblossom. It failed to mention an Elizabeth, Sampson or Henry that I've also seen mentioned in this family. Out of these 3, I personally believe that Elizabeth is also William's child. These children's names can be verified by the following patterns. All of the spouses it mentioned are verified in marriage records for Indiana and Ohio. William moved to Miami Co., Ohio about 1807. (C-1065, 1898) He lived next to his son Joseph in the 1820 census for Miami Co., Ohio. He was listed at over age 45 in this record with one son between the age of 10 and 16 (Henry), plus two females age 16-26 (Hetty and Hepsy) in his household. His son Joseph was age 26 to 45 with two sons under age 10 and a wife age 16-26. (E) His son-in-law, Daniel Wright also lived in Newberry Twp. with a very large family within a few dozen homes of his in this census. Before William died, he and his sons, William and Joseph, purchased land in Marion Co., Indiana records in 1822. His daughter, "Hettie" apparently moved with them and married in that county in 1823. The Randolph Co., Indiana History also stated that family reunions for the family still took place in 1888 in Randolph Co. that included descendants of William's sons, William and Joseph, who had moved elsewhere (Marion and Howard Co., IN), as well as his son John who had moved to Randolph Co., Indiana. William's children are also listed the same way in Willard Heiss's and Mary Helen Pemberton's work. William Coats died by Sept. 1826 in Marion Co., IN without leaving a will. Pages 146-7 of the Inventory and Sale Book A for Marion County, IN give the appraisement and inventory by his administrators/sons, Joseph and William Coats. Buyers at the sale include Joseph Coats, William Coats and William Sr's son-in-law Daniel Wright. Some second hand sources say he died on Jan. 16, 1828 instead. The next question is how is William related to Marmaduke Coate of Newberry, SC? There is the possibility that William is the grandson of William or his brother Henry of Hunterdon Co., NJ and Newberry Co., South Carolina. We believe we know most of the descendants of Henry but have only figured out a couple of William's likely sons and grandchildren so far. By age and place he'd fit into the family through one of these two Coate's also. The supporting evidence for this later possibility is that the current day descendants of William through his son Joseph had the clear family tradition that they were related to Marmaduke Coate of SC who is the son of Henry. Their DNA testing also is within 1 point out of 36 points of a match - the closest match to Marmaduke (b. 1738) so far. What doesn't match thought is William's brother John.. current day descendants of John are not genetically related to William throwing us a curve ball. One likely theory is that William was the son of Big John, but John (William's supposed brother) was simply adopted by Big John.

It is likely that Corzada died before 1870 as she is not in that census record with her family.

It is likely that Elinor is the daughter of William Harrison, who had sons Thomas (b. 1540), Hugh (b. 1541) and Henry (b. 1544) in St. Edmunds Parish, Dudley, Staffordshire, ENG. (C-750) Elinor's name was spelled various ways in the r. She was listed as Elinore Harisone at her marriage, Eleanor Bagley as her husband's administrator, and "Olde Elner Bagley" at her burial. (C-1364)

HARISONE, Elinore (I13535)

It is likely that Janos was the brother to Mihaly. Janos had died by the time his daughter, Anna, married. The date she had married was missing from the Byzantine church records. However, the witness, was Mihaly Vovcsik who was her probncle. He lived in house 72 along the only street in Nevike in the 1869 census for that area. He is only living a few homes from the rest of his family that lived in home 75. He was the oldest and the younger siblings would have built a home out further most likely.

It is likely that the following info from Alabama applies to a daughter of this Isaac and Mary. "The Tuscaloosa Co., Alabama Heritage Book: Martha Eliza Jane Hannah Sophia Coats m. 22 July 1852 to John Harrison Jennings. She was d/o Id Mary Coats of South Carolina." (provided by D.J. Rowe)

It is likely that this George Glenn was the George that purchased land in Gallia Co., Ohio on Nov. 23, 1837 in Twp. 7, range 16 (Huntington Twp.), section 21. There are multiple other land purchases by a George Glenn that might also applym. He is probably the father of John H. Glenn who owns multiple sections of land that adjoin George Glenn's land. George moved to Santa Cruz Co., CA for a while where at least one son was born before settling in Missouri where he died. (CL-449)

GLENN, George (I15760)

2375

It is likely this Aaron who got a certificate to Gwynedd Monthly Meeting on 4/7/1749 from the Falls Monthly Meeting in Bucks Co., Pennsylvania (C-1682) He is also likely to be the Aaron who was listed with the Irish movement from Bradfordster Co., PA to the Warrington M.M., York Co., PA in 1767. (C-1741) According to Ettie Tidwell McCall's book, Aaron died unmarried. This disagrees with most other sources I've come across. He was willed 33 acres of land that had been surveyed for him in his fathers 1761 will. There is an Aaron who wrote his will in 1776 in Philadelphia, PA that might be him. According to descendant Janet Payne, he died between 1767 to 1779 in York Co., PA and a third source gives his death date as 1801 in Chester Co., PA where he's buried in Pikeland Friends Burial Ground. (C-1665, 1667, 1977)

It is my theory that Bettie who lists herself as the Aunt of Mary Sue True in the 1900 census, was from the farm of Elizabeth Lumpkins in Madison Co., Alabama. That is why she took the name Lumpkins when she was emancipated during the Civil War. If she is blood relative of Mary Sue True which remains to be seen hopefully through DNA at some point in time, than this is a reasonable explanation of their relationship.

LUMPKINS, Bettie (I2068)

It is my theory that Mathias Dimmack of Bilston, Wolverhampton Parish, England was the one who was a brother to my Benjamin. I state this because he was of the right age and named a daughter Keturah Ann who was almost the same age as myandmother Keturah Dimmack. He lived on the same street, St. No. 53 in Bilston as his likely son Thomas in the 1881 census. In the 1861 census, their surname was spelled Dunmack by the census taker. They lived in West Bromwich, Staffordshire, England at the time. This is the same Parish where my great grandmother Keturah was born in 1855. The 1841 and 1861 census says that Mathias was born in Rowley, Staffordshire, England in this census whereas the 1881 census lists him as being born in Netherton, Staffordshire, England. He lived in Bilston, Staffordshire, Wolverhampton, England at the time.

DIMMACK, Mathias (I5246)

2379

It is my theory that Robert's daughter, Nancy, is the Nancy who married Asa Amos in 1815 in Stokes Co, North Carolina. She is related to my Susanah Hunter by DNA and by all of the locations they lived in together. In 1820, Nancy and her husband Amos have moved to Guyandotte, Cabell, Virginia where Susanah Hunter married William D. Clark in 1823. In the 1830's their families moved to Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. They all attended the same Baptist Church and were buried in the same cemetery.

I have 3 DNA triangulations proving that my Susanah is the granddaughter of John M. Hunter and Rachel McFarland and his ancestral line. I had checked the DNA of over 50 Hunters before I found this family as a match. It was the Stokes County marriage for Nancy that clued me into checking some of the brothers and parents of Robert when I started finding the pattern I had been searching for. Ancestry also has many cousins who descend from his parents through various children matching me in through lines with 8 cM matches on up. I am most closely related to one of these cousins descended from Robert at 22 cM's.

Nancy was born in 1798 according to her cemetery stone in Gallia Co., Ohio. Susanah was born on Apr. 12, 1802 according to her stone. Robert supposedly had a son Robert in June of 1802. I currently theorize that this can be explained because Susanah was the offspring of Robert and one of his many slaves. I have half-cousin relationships showing up in this line suggesting they didn't have the same mother.

I have not been able to find Robert in the 1790-1810 census records. His children's birthplaces are listed all over the place in Virginia. I haven't seen proof of where they were born or lived at the time.

In the 1820 census, he has one son under 10 (Richard) one between 10 and 16 (Charles Ellis) and he is between 26 and 45. He has 1 daughter under 10, 2 between 10 and 16 (Catherine), 2 women between 16-26 (Mary and Catherine S.), and 3 between 26 and 45 (Elizabeth, Jane, and his wife Nancy) living in his household. Daughter Nancy had married in 1815 in Stokes Co., NC ahead of her older sisters. If I am deciphering the other columns correctly, it looks like one family member was engaged in agriculture, 10 people engaged in manufacturing (which could have been part of the 30 plus slaves he appears to have "owned". Six of these appear to be women from age 26-45. None of them appear to be Susanah's age. I believe by the 1820 census she has moved with her half-sibling, Nancy Hunter Amos and family to Cabell Co., Virginia.

He has died before the 1830 census. Note that Susanah would account for one of his unknown daughters between the ages of 10 and 16 at the time.

It's also important to note that I have the most DNA cousin matches and 22 cM's with one of these 3 cousins who all descend from Robert.

I have an alternate theory on the parentage of Susanah. Robert sadly owned many slaves. It's possible she is only the half-sibling to Nancy and is the daughter of Robert and one of his many slaves. Supporting this would be the fact that she married William D. Clark whom we have every reason to believe was a mulatto, even though he passed for white. His son, my ancestor, also had extremely kinky hair and was dark-complected. His skin could pass for a dark tan and he had a very pointed narrow nose from an old tin-type photo suggesting why he passed as white in the census. In any case, she and Nancy were very close and lived their adult lives near each other, even in their church and burial. This suggests they might have been close and lived on the same farm when they were young. Both Nancy and Susanah's place of birth is confused as sometimes in Virginia and sometimes in North Carolina.

It is not certain she is his wife. She, (her husband according to Colonial Families of the US) and his mother died in the Long Cane Creek Indian massacre near Abbeville, SC in 1760. He is the James who accounts for the 1765 record ina Co. If his wife and mother died in that massacre, he could have moved back to where he came from for safety's sake. Nancy Susannah Long and the Agnes Long who married Captain William Calhoun appear to be sisters in 2nd hand sources.

LONG, Nancy Susannah (I10670)

2381

It is not certain that Henry is their son, but it is the only baptism for a Henry to father, Edward Norris. Westbury in 32 miles from Tetbury, England also still making it plausible. It is very hard to discern his mother's name in this record as an Elizabeth though.

NORRIS, Henry (I17675)

2382

It is not certain that Sarah's surname was Perry, only that her first name was Sarah as stated in her husband's 1830 will. She, along with sons Sion and Gideon ended up in what was Cherokee Co., Alabama shortly after her husband's deathe homestead they built there was still standing in Oct. 1999 when Michael Tucker was corresponding with the Coates Discussion Group on the Internet. (C-2188, 2201)

It is not known with any certainty if this Rachel ever was real or a wife of Joseph. The only evidence we have is a christening record made after the fact listing Joseph's daughter, Rachel's christening that lists her mother as Rachel.e have been no records found of any marriage between a Joseph and a Rachel and his daughter is listed as the daughter of Joseph and Margaret Wells in her marriage record.

MARSH, Rachel (I6312)

It is not known with any certainty whom James Wright's father is. The group I think he is in is haplogroup I-M253, group 1 at the Wright YDNA group. That is a guestimate and not proven.

As for the current theories from research, here are the ones I have found without good support for any of them currently.

1. Tradition says that there were five Wright brothers that settled on the Eastern Shore of Maryland during the Colonial period as professed by several aged persons in THE WRIGHT ANCESTRY by Capt. Charles W. Wright, 1907.

2. Two other brothers settled in Baltimore Co, Maryland according to one of these ancients. Maryland's southern border is on the Atlantic Ocean. The additional 2 brothers that settled in Baltimore would have entered Chesapeake Bay and gone north to Baltimore. Baltimore is about 55 miles south by water from where our James Wright can first be verified as living in East Nottingham, Chester Co., PA (now of Cecil Co., MD) via the same bay that comes in from the southeastern side of Maryland on the Atlantic Ocean.

3. James's father according to Don Wright in the "Footprints Database" is John Wright of Pennsylvania. This probably refers to 13 volumes microfiched and available through Salt Lake City's library: "Footprints of Our Past : Our Ancestors and their Descendants" by Don P. Wright. He edited this publication through 1992 under that name and his main interest was researching the Wright surname.

In any case, this Wright family lived above Noris Ford on Marshy Hope Creek literally at the boundary of Maryland and Delaware. It is near 100 miles by land and across the Chesapeake Bay east of where our James Wright can be verified as living in East Nottingham (Now Cecil Co., MD.) in 1707. It is a creek that runs south into the Nanticoke River which runs into the Chesapeake Bay making it even further by water. John was a possible son of two brothers, William (b. bef. 1658 surmised from the fact that he had 5 sons who were born before he died in 1686) and a James Wright that settled in Dorchester Co., MD about 1682 above Noris Ford (Northwest Fork Ford) of Marshy
Hope Creek. That part of Dorchester Co., MD is now a part of Caroline Co., Maryland due to boundary changes. William and James possibly emigrated on the "Bristol Factor" in that same year with one of William Penn's colonies probably through Bristol, England. (C-951)

The two brothers were Quaker preachers and traveled extensively to preach to Quaker communities. Brother William died in Dorchester before June 5, 1686. He had sons William (who married Sarah Noble), Roger, Edward, Samuel and John. (This is likely the John that Don Wright's "Footprints Database" refers to. His sons Edward, Samuel and John supposedly moved west which at that point in time would have been east of the Allegheny Mountains.) His son, Roger, who lived in Dorchester and had several children including sons named Levin, William and *James.
Many of the Wrights in Maryland and Delaware descend from this William. No descendants lineages were apparently kept for James' children according to "The Wright Ancestry of Caroline, Dorchester, Somerset and Wicomico Counties, Maryland." The two brothers were known as Niccolite or Quaker Wrights because of their strict religious sect. The James Wright who came over with his brother William in 1682, might even be our James or William's grandson at a stretch might be our James.

The births of our James and Mary Wright are recorded with the Niccolite Births (Quaker Record Abstracts) in the Hall of Records at Annapolis, Anne Arundel Co., MD supporting this theory. Their particular group was known as the "Northwest Fork River Niccolite Friends." Of course, if one of these James is our James, it still doesn't tell us who his father is. It might be helpful to note that Dorchester Co., MD is 110 miles south from where we can verify that James Wright first lived which was East Nottingham, Chester Co., PA (Now in Cecil Co., Maryland) via the Chesapeake Bay. They and several generations of their descendants worshipped at the Niccolite Quaker Meeting House Branch near Federalsburg, Maryland and at Piney Grove Monthly after it moved locations.

Of all the theories I'm seeing presented, this one is the one with the greatest hope of including our James' ancestors and I will be studying it with a relish. "The Wright Ancestry of Caroline, Dorchester, Somerset and Wicomico Counties, Maryland" is currently available as a free Ebook on Google Books by the way. *It should be noted if this theory ends up being correct, Naomi Wright is supposed to have been a sister to the above brothers. She lived in Sussex Co., Delaware and married Joseph Atkins shortly after their 2nd declaration of intention to marry on Mar. 30, 1699. (C-258, 259)

However, there was at least one Naomi Wright whom is not the sister of William and James but the daughter of Arthur and Abigall Wright in Dorchester Co., Maryland at the time that possibly is this Naomi Wright. In 19 July 1679, An Account of Arthur Wright's estate is recorded, with payments to 147 people. Abigall Wright is listed as administratrix. (MD Accounts and Inventories Lib. 6 fol. 187) On 29 September 1679, Abigail Wright of Dorchester County, widow, gave to her children, Grace Wright, Absalom Wright, Edward Williams, Arthur Wright and Naomi Wright: Livestock. Witnesses Wm. Stephens, Thomas Taylor, William Smithson Acknowledged September 29, 1679. (Dorchester Land Record 4 old 6)*It should also be noted that I'm simply not finding persons whom are tracing their lineages back through anyone but William's son William whom married Sarah Noble - and their dating estimates are really throwing this lineage off.3. A very common ancestral line in public member trees at Ancestry says James was born in Chester Co., PA and was the son of Thomas Wright and Elizabeth Chittenden.

4. Also often stated is that he is the son of John and Martha Wright of Connecticut and John was the son of the above Thomas Wright and Elizabeth Chittenden. A well researched Wright descendant has Thomas and Elizabeth Chittenden Wright listing totally different children and places of birth at http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~legends/wright.html. They descend through an unrelated Connecticut branch of Wrights that go back through Essex Co, England. Y-DNA supports the fact that the Thomas Wright and Elizabeth Chittenden group descends from the Essex Co., England group. It's a very clear match to that grouping with a haplo group of E-M78 and YDNA shows that match. https://www.familytreedna.com/public/wright/default.aspx?section=yresults4.

5. A book referred to as the "Wright Briscoe Pioneers" believed James's father to be one of three brothers, Joshua, Thomas or Samuel who came from Yorkshire, England to New Jersey in 1677. These were sons of Robert Wright and Alice Lawtie of East Riding, Yorkshire, England. We can rule out Joshua Wright and his wife, Elizabeth Empson. Their son was: Richard Wright 1651.

A clue to this family is where they lived. James and his wife died in Frederick Co., Virginia. People from Pennsylvania and Maryland had first settled it sometime between 1738 and 1743. All we know for certain is that they were there before 1759. From East Nottingham (Chester Co., PA, now Cecil Co., MD) they would possibly have come down the Chesapeake Bay to the Potomac River and then taken the old "Indian Trail" down the Opequon Creek basin 35 miles to the newly formed Frederick Co., Virginia. This trail later became known as the "Great Valley Road". It was a common route of passage for early migrantion into Frederick Co., VA.

It is not known with certainty that James is a son of Joseph and Elsy Tharp. He is in the 1820 census for Gallia Co, OH where this family lived for several years before moving to Indiana. Dana Norton conjectures that he may be thd of Jane Tharpe found in Boone Co., IN from 1840-1860. She died in 1864 and listed the following children in her will: William Joseph, Sarah, Elcy, Elizabeth and Mahala. (CL-425, 432)

THARP, James (I549)

It is not now certain that Harry Thomas Owen's father was Thomas. Even if his name was Thomas as suspected from Welsh naming patterns, there appear to have been two Thomas Owens living in Machynlleth. The famous Thomas Owen who has been ped as his father in even the American President's genealogies is now considered unlikely to be Harry's father. This Thomas served as Mayor of Machynlleth in 20 James (1622) and later as Magistrate. He was a well-to-do landowner like his father around Machynlleth. In the REGISTRUM UNIVERSITATIS OXONIENSIS is lists that he graduated from Oxford specifically Jesus College, Oxford on May 3, 1616 at age 20. That would place his birth date around 1598 even though other source estimates are around 1607. (C-437,p6) He died in 1672. The Owen home, originally built around 400 years ago, called "Llynlloed" is possibly where the Magistrate Thomas lived. Photographs and diagrams of it are in the Harry Harold, July. 1991 issue. The original home is inside the structure that has been added to and currently stands in Wales. (C-750) This Magistrate Thomas Owen line goes back maternally through many branches of Royalty. However, it is now considered HIGHLY suspect because 1) Hugh Thomas Owen's son Hugh Harry is listed as a pauper in his son's American Quaker records, 2) Hugh Harry when he came to America was a weaver, a profession not likely for the grandchild of someone with the stature of the above Thomas Owen, 3) Hugh Thomas did not live in Macynlleth originally, but apparently moved there from elsewhere (which is not the case with the well-to-do Thomas Owen above described) and 4) Thomas Owen, the magistrate, in his will, lists 2 sons and 8 daughters and all his grandchildren. He does not list Harry or Henry as a son. This last point might not matter since he could have disowned a son Harry when he became a Quaker. (C-1209, E)

It is only theory that this Agnes was the wife of John Bagley whose wife's first name we have not been able to locate. If so, she would have been 24 at the time of their marriage. (C-1364) The St. Edmund Parish records are no longerle from Jun 3, 1600 to May 3, 1601. This is the likely time period for John and Miss Tomlinson's marriage based on the baptismal date of their first child. (C-1364, 2247) There is controversy whether or not John Bagley's wife was the daughter of Elizabeth Tomlinson or her sister or sister's daughter. If she was Elizabeth's sister, the theory states she was Agnes or Joan or another unknown that like Elizabeth, did not have a christening record.

TOMLINSON, Agnes (I12789)

It is possible that he was married twice. The Annals of Newberry give his daughter, Priscilla's mother's name as Mary.

It is probable that David Reese married twice, the first time to a Martha. I suspect this because Martha A. Noel Reese, wife of David, died on Sep 31, 1851, age 26y, 5m and 17d and is buried at Old Pine Cemetery in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Coo David is the only Rees by that name living in Raccoon Twp. and he would have been her age. He is in the 1860 census for Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., OH, p. 233, living in the house before John Rees who is next to Elizabeth Rees Phillps (their sister). His wife's name was Ann, age 30. Both were born in Wales. They had daughters Elizabeth (age 4) and Mary (age 2). In the 1870 census, David is 44, b. Wales. His wife, Ann, is 40, b. Wales and they have multiple children as well as his father living with them. David Rees, b. 1826, d. 1909, is buried in Rehobeth Cemetery on the north side of Ebenezer Carmel Road, Section 6 of Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio He is married to Ann, b. 1829 who died in 1901 and was buried next to her husband. An early Welsh Church of the same name once stood where the small cemetery still is. (CL-88, 573)

It is Robbie Duroblan's theory that the Joseph Coates living next to Helena Hickman's father John Hickman in South Carolina is the husband of Helena Hickman. His nickname might have been Josee Coates mentioned in some deeds of the timer husband could be Josee Coates instead if he is not one and the same person as Joseph Coates. Pollard and Emilia Coates are mentioned in John Hickman's will dated 1811 as grandchildren and Helena Coates is listed as their mother.

It is somewhat likely that Susannah married a Coates. I say this because there is an unaccounted for Susan Coates who was the head of household living next to Joseph C. Coppock (her brother) and Hannah Cothran (her Aunt??) in the 1840 Newp., Miami Co., OH census. If this is her, she had 2 sons from age 15-20 and 2 daughters age 10 to 15. She was listed at age 50-60, but this could easily be misinformation from whomever gave info to the census taker. She was actually about age 47 at the time.

It is the theory of Billie Curry Steeley that this Samuel's parents are James and Rebecca Warwick Curry. Samuel purchased land in1771 in Augusta Co, VA which estimates his birth date at before 1750. By timing and name, he would fit intoamily. He sold this land in 1776 to Robert Young and moved to Hawkins Co., Tennessee. (CL-391) His will is in Hawkins County, Tennessee and it is dated February 22, 1812. "Considering the uncertainty of this mortal life and being of sound and perfect memory, blessed be Almighty God for the same, do make and publish this my last will and testament in manner and form following. (Viz) after all my legal debts are paid. First, I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Mary Curry, the third of my Estate both real and personal. I do also give and bequeath unto my two younger sons, George and Samuel Curry, the plantation whereon I now live. I do also give and bequeath unto my three daughters vs: Rebecca, Ann and Margaret Curry, three cows and calves and four sheep, a feather bed and bed clothes to each, likewise, a horse and saddle, the horse not exceeding eight years old, not under fourteen hands high. I do also give and bequeath unto John McPheeters, Arch'd Simpson, John and James Curry and Reuben Skelton, the sum of one dollar to each. And Lastly, as to all the rest and residue and remainder of my personal estate goods and chattels of what kind and nature soever, I give and bequeath the same to myh said beloved wife Mary Curry whom together with Samuel McPHeeters - Executor and Executrix of this my last will and testament' hereby revoking all former wills by me made. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this twenty second day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand eighty hundred and twelve. Signed, sealed, published and declared. Samuel Curry { Seal} By the above named Samuel Curry to be his last will and testament, in the presence of us who at his request and in his presence have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses to the same. Thomas Connilly John Marshall" (CL-469)

It is theory on Gary W. Coats part that Thomas came to America and lived in Bucks Co., Pennsylvania. If so he could be the Thomas married to Sarah Ann who ended up in SC and is the ancestor of Gary W. Coats of Portland, Oregon. The df a Thomas is listed in the Bristol M.M. records but it might not belong to the Thomas who is the son of William and Deborah Powell Coats. There are also death dates recorded in the Church of England records for Thomas Coate in 1734 in Goathurst, Somerset, England. If this belongs to him than he was only a Quaker during his childhood. He is of the correct age and place to be the father of William of Goathurst.

It is theory on my part that Capt. John and his son Gentleman John of the first English settlement at Jamestown, were the son and grandson of Addame Martyn of Greystoke, Cumberland, England. There are a dozen possible Johns that Captain John could be according to England, Births and Christenings. However, we do know that they were of the upper crust of the Jamestown passengers. We know this from John Jr.'s status of Gentleman in the listing of the first planters of Jamestown. There are only 2 family's of Martins that I have found that were landed gentry in England. One is accounted for by the Massachusetts John Martin in the Visitation of Devon. One is accounted for by the John Martyn in Burkes' Landed Gentry of Greystoke, Cumberland, England that would fit this line of John's born in Greystoke, Cumberland, England.

It is theory on my part that Codrington was a brother of Samuel Forte. He is listed as an executor of Augustin Dry's will dated 1692 along with Frances Forte, Ursual Forte, Mrs. Ula Forte, and Mary Franck of St. John's Parish, Barbados. If so, he likely died before 1700 as he is not named in further wills. It is possible he was younger than Samuel and his son instead. We know that he was likely at least 21 when when he helped execute a will in 1692 and highly likely older than that.

Mrs. Ula Forte is his likely wife and possibly Augustin Dry's daughter. Samuel Forte's daughter Ursula was only 12 and would not account for Ursula Forte who witnessed the will. Samuel Forte's wife was Ursula Forte in administration. That leaves Mrs. Ula Forte to account for the other executrix as the wife of Codrington. The other theory that would explain the relationships suggested by the will is that Mrs. Ula Forte is a sister Augustin Dry. Augustin's wife was listed in London, England.

FORTE, Codrington (I6433)

It is theory on my part that Davis is a son of Joseph of Kershaw Co., South Carolina. Several of Joseph's sons moved from Orangeburgh Co., SC to Kershaw Co., South Carolina. This Davis Coats was on the Petit Jury in that county on 2/22 and he was in a suit on 3/5/1793, Samuel Thompson vs. Thomas Kelly and Davis Coats. It should be noted that his name was hard to read and he could be the David Coats in the area instead.

It is theory on my part that he is the brother of John by age, time and place.

It is theory on my part that James is the son of Lemuel Coates. He lives next to him and 2 houses from David Coates in the 1820 census for Kershaw Co., South Carolina. It is possible that he is the son of David, Sion, Joseph or Harwells instead as they also are Coates families in the area. In any case, in the 1820 census for Kershaw, he also has one son between the ages of 10-15, 1 daughter under age 10, and a wife between the ages of 26 and 44 like himself. There is a James Coats living in Frederick Co., VA in the 1840 census between the age of 70-80 who might be him.

COATES, James (I1704)

It is theory on my part that Joesph was a cousin to my children's ancestor named Maria Bogdan. They lived in house 92 in Nevike in 1869.
