2851	Mary was the sister to Madison Starke Perry, the 4th Governor of Florida. (C-1948) She died before the census was taken in 1800 and therefore at the most only 2 of the daughters attributed to her and no sons at all were actually hers. Thblem is that at this point, we don't know which 2.	PERRY, Mary (I7811)
2852	Mary was the widow of Abraham Potter when she married William Hammans between 1752 and 1755 in Kent, Delaware. She could by age be this Abrahams' widow or possibly the widow of a possible son of his named Abraham.	Mary (I10696)
2853	Mary was their 10th child according to Richard Morgan and she was born on July 10, 1806. I have, however, found this birth date also listed for the Mary who was the supposed twin sister of Mark Coate, son of James Coate and Mary West. (C) Plus in an Ancestry World Tree submission by Don Coats, they give her birth date as 1798 instead and her marriage date as 1817 in Miami Co., Ohio. The marriage date of 1817 did take place in Miami Co., Ohio If she was born in 1806, she would have only been age 11. I therefore, assume that the 1798 birth date is more likely to be correct.	COATS, Mary (I14975)
2854	Mary Young was from the Clan Young of Audbar, or Dunbar, Castle Toward. This is the region where much of the massacre occurred in which her husband was killed. She escaped taking 4 sons with her to live in co. Antrim, Ireland for thef her life. (CL-541)	YOUNG, Lady Mary (I9097)
2855	Mary's birth date is the first detail in question about her. By all accounts she was born between the years of 1743 and 1748, with 1744 being the most often given date. The accounts typically revolve around her supposed age at the time of her capture by Indians and none are based on first hand records at the time. Mary's name is usually stated as Mary Jane Coppock. Quakers did not typically give their children middle names in this time period, but the name Mary Jane was actually considered one name together at the time. Sarah Ann was another popular combination at the time predating middle names. Tradition states Mary Jane Coppock was captured by the Indians as a child and was supposedly rescued and purchased back by her childhood friend, and future husband, Marmaduke Coate in 1763 or 1764. The following are a sampling of the accounts about Mary's capture in the records. Each of them has errors and conflicts when it comes to ages and dates, but the general tradition is the same. Note that multiple accounts state that her mother was killed in the raid, but this has been proven to be untrue. According to a history of Newton Twp., Mary was captured at age 7 and kept in captivity for about five years. Before she escaped she had become familiar with their language and customs which was an aid to other settlers during Indian hostilities. Her length of stay and age of capture vary in almost every source on the subject with the amount of her capture being anywhere from 5 to 10 years, with the 10 year period being a bit more common. One source says that she and her sister were captured by the Cherokee Indians with John Roos being the half breed chief of the tribe. Her sister, "Paleface Koppock", or Martha, ended up marrying John Roos. Mary herself was supposedly called Paleface Nowanee/Nooanee. (C-1519f, 2221) One of the more detailed accounts passed down in the family was located by Annie Natalelli-Waloszek in 1969 as a typewritten copy of a letter at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, 1300 Locust St in Philadelphia. This sounds like it was oe of the letters in the 1917-20's file claiming descendancy from Marmaduke and Mary Coppock Coate to prove inheritance in the Coate Coppock land deal. "Yours received in due time but we saw in the Messenger that your father had gone. Was sorry, my father passed away over the 24th of February age 85, 2 mo, 14days. I have lived to see my Aunt (Handwritten: she lives here in Oregon) she is nearly three years older than father, she will be 89 the 9th of August. She is strong for her age, and has a good memory. She tells us things that father and mother used to tell us when we were little, about the Indians capturing James Coppock family and two sisters. There were two sisters they did not get. James he kept out of there reach and escaped to a white settlement. The sisters names were Mary and Martha. The Martha was the baby and only six weeks old and Mary was about six years old. She was sitting in the bed of a cradle rocking the baby, when the Indians came in and killed the mother and took the girls. They kept them and raised them, Now this was the Mary that married the Coate, his name was Marmaduke Coate. He bought this girl from the Indians when she was 22 years old, he traded them a fine horse and new bridle and saddle for her. Then they had to run for there lives. He was afraid they would kill him and take the girl again. It took five days to reach his home. He built fires at night to deceive them, then they would go 2 or 3 miles away and cover themselves with leaves and bushes to sleep until morning. But little Martha she married an Indian. The Mary and the Che (Cheyenne?) Coates came across her among a tribe of Indians and her sister knew her. They persuaded her to go home with them then, but she wouldn't stay. She went back to her Indian husband. Now this Mary was my great great Grandmother that married the Marmaduke Coate, they had eleven children. My grandfathers name was Moses Coate, Who also married a Coppock. The first Moses Coate had a brother by the name of John and This was my great great grandfather. He was born about 1715. My aunt tells me they all came from England and settled in S. Carolina. Then they all came to Ohio about 1806. The Marmaduke Coate and his wife Mary lived to be old, she lived to be 93 years old and he lived to be 96. Now the Ancestors on, as they came down on my Grandmothers side, First John, 2nd Joseph, Calvin, James, Elizabeth Coppock. Now Elizabeth was My Great Great Grandmother. And now on the Coate side, first Marmaduke who married Mary Coppock sister of James Coppock. The Moses my great grandfather and the Moses my Father. I have papers, leases, of everything back to sixteenth century. Rachel" For years now, Coates have hunted for the exact raid in which Mary and Martha were taken. Dr. David Ramsey as relayed by Percy Pemberton Brown in Park's 1960 version of "The Ancestors and Descendants of Marmaduke Coate of South Carolina and Ohio" believed the following raid could apply to her. It was from Percy's notes taken from "The History of South Carolina." "This history was first published in 1809. It was the work of Dr. David Ramsay, a physician of Charleston, S.C. and a native of that city. ...In 1754 there was a massacre of Cuttery of Buffalo Creek, near where it enters Broad River, in the north-west corner of York County, S.C. The women of the party were away at the time, having gone to a squires with a young couple wishing to marry. The men were asleep or lounging about, and the children were playing when the savages struck. Sixteen were killed including all the men of the party, and 5 children were taken captive. Some were soon released, but one child recovered in October the following year, was supposed to have been of this party. The tense situation which the governor left to go to Charleston, exploded soon afterward, Indian hostages killed, and the soldiers of Ft. Prince George massacred. Civilians removed from the area... Governor Glen of South Carolina held a treaty with the Cherokees in October 1755, ostensibly to brighten the chain of friendship, but really to obtain a corner of their lands and a liberty to erect forts on the western frontier, as a barrier against the French on the southwest. Both were granted. This was the meeting at which a white child was turned over to the governor's party, who had been recovered by the Cherokees from French Indians." I personally do not believe this 1754 raid is the one in which Mary Jane Coppock was taken for the following reasons. 1) Marmaduke was likely to be too young in 1754, especially if he was born in 1738 as is the current train of thought. 2) Marmaduke lived in New Jersey in 1755, far from the Carolinas at the time. 3) Marmaduke is also listed without wife when he moves with his father, Henry and brother's James and John from Hunterdon Co., NJ to the New Garden MM, in NC in 1757. 4) All verified children of Marmaduke and Mary Jane Coppock were not born until 1764 as per their bible and Quaker Records, meaning that if he rescued her in 1755, he didn't marry her for years later which again doesn't fit with tradition. 5) She would have only been a captive for a year, and that doesn't match any of the historical accounts on her capture. It is a fascinating story, but not likely to be the exact circumstances of our Mary Jane's Coppock's capture. Patti Sue McCrary has found another Indian raid which has a much better chance of being the raid in which Mary was captured. It also occurred in 1754, but in what was Granville Co., NC at the time. The Tuscaroras Tribe (in the Roanoke River in Bertie and Edgecombe consisting of 100 warriors and 2 women and children) and the Saponi Indians' (14 warriors strong of on the Western side of Granville Co.) rose up in that year, so that a militia was called together of all able bodied males in Granville Co. to protect their new settlements. One thousand, three hundred and seventeen men responded. The Indian uprising which the "History of Edgecombe County" states culminated in 17 persons being killed and ten to twelve captives being taken, was the culmination of Indian revolt in the area. This is the county where her father, Moses Coppock is on the muster rolls in 1754 and where he paid taxes in 1755. An account of this uprising is supposedly covered in original Council Journals and House Journals for Granville Co., NC or Edgecombe Co., NC which was adjacent to Granville Co. at the time. A 1931 Duke University Masters thesis by Nannie M. Tilley that mentions this raid, sites these Council Journals. It is available in the Richard A. Thorton library in Oxford, North Carolina. (C-2221, 2239) The fit on this account is excellent for the following reasons. 1) Mary would have been a captive for about a 10 year period as many traditions claim. (i.e. Quaker Records of the Miami Co., OH by Davis & Corinee Diller's Coate book.) 2) Her sister could have been amongst the 10 or so captives. 3) Marmaduke and Mary by a traditional account were said to have traveled fast and hard by foot for 5 nights, sleeping under leaves during the day. This would estimate the distance from the tribe to Marmaduke's home from between 50 and 150 miles. Most of the Tuscaroras Indians lived in Granville along the Neuse River near knap of Reeds Creek and in the northern part of the county between Grassy and Island Creeks. From 1753-1758 the Saponi (14 men and 14 women strong) lived slightly north of Henderson. The Saponi, by the way, had assimilated into the Tuscarora, Meherrin, and Machapunga tribes and moved north by 1802. At the time of Mary's capture, these tribes were approximately within 100 miles of where Marmaduke lived in NC in 1763/4. (C-2221, 2225: Swanton, John: The Indian Tribes of North America) 5) Marmaduke would have been of an appropriate age to rescue and marry Mary in 1763/4, about 25. 6) It is where Mary's possible father, Moses Coppock, was on the muster rolls in 1754 as every bodied male was in the militia at that time who lived in that territory. To actually prove the fit is accurate, we might be able to find significant evidence in newspapers of the time or in the colonial records for NC in Granville and Edgcombe Counties.	COPPOCK, Mary Jane (I11703)
2856	Mary's birth date was listed as Nov. 15, 1774 in at least one source and June 9, 177(8) in her brother's family bible. She married Samuel Curry in 1800 as verified in "Augusta Co. Marriages." and confirmed in her father, George Glenn's where was more than one Mary Glenn in this time and place. This Mary should not be confused with the Mary whose tombstone says she is the daughter of James Glenn. Mary is listed as the daughter of George Glenn, infant, in the will of her grandfather, James Young. She would have been at least 12 at the time, but the term infant simply minor or under age in that period. (CL-185) Mary's husband was her cousin. (CL-468) According to Margaret Robinson, she and her husband removed to Staunton Co., VA. That is not where I have them at the end of their lives when they died though.	GLENN, Mary Ann (I15943)
2857	Mary's maiden name listed in her daughter's first marriage application to Michael Cesario is Mary Budgon and in her second is Mary Smith. Smith was often a translation of a much different common name in the old country. However, in this, I simply believe Mary said the name of a person was Smith when she didn't want to reveal the identity of a person. This is based on the fact that in her first marriage application she said her father's name was Mike Smith. (D-170) In records of this family from Neviczke, in what is now the Ukraine, this name was spelled Bogdan or Bogdoin. Maria and Joseph Dudik's first son Andras had his baptism witnessed by a Julianna Bogdoin. This could easily be a sister, mother or niece of this Maria Bogdan. Also, when Maria's daughter, Maria Vocsik, emmigrated to the U.S. in 1892, she traveled with a female relative of her mother's named (Baoko)? Bogdan, age 18, a likely sister or cousin. When an untranslated record occurs for a Bax.. Dudik, witnesses were a Joseph Popovitz and an a Borbola Bogdan (female).	BOGDAN, Maria (I11721)
2858	Mary's Quaker marriage record is available at Charlotte Coats Siercks site. Under her and her husbands married name, her closest relatives are listed as (in order): Marmaduke Coate (father) , Ann Coate (mother), Abigail Raper (mother of husband???), Joshua Rapor (brother of husband???), Mary Smith (There is a Mary Smith married to a William Cotes at this point in time of Philadelphia), Abigail Rapor (sister of husband???), William Coate (brother), Elizabeth (J.....), Solomon Smith, Edith Coate (sister), Hannah Coate (sister), Martha Raper, Joan Humphrey, Elizabeth Coate (her 2nd cousin, d.of Samuel and Mary Saunders Coate), and Deborah (Powell) (There is a Deborah Powell married to William Coate, uncle of this Mary at this point in time). The next column to the left of slightly more distant relatives or friends includes a John Budd. I'm wondering if Quaker put the ladies by their maiden names as witnesses, even after they married to show clearly who they were. (E) Mary and her husband are listed in the closest relatives column for Mary Coate, d. of James Coate and Mary Watson. That would make them 2nd cousins to Mary Coate who married Edmund Sands. It's evidence that the Marmaduke Coate Branch was 1st cousins or kinsman to the John Coate also in NJ as also mentioned in Ann Pole Coate's will.</line><line /><line />	COATE, Mary (I16216)
2859	Mary's second husband was her true love. She married him secretly and quickly after the death of her first husband.	TUDOR, Mary (I6021)
2860	Mary, though married twice, is buried next to her parents at age 36 years, 3 months and 19 days with no mention of a different surname. (CL-466) She had 2 children by her first marriage: Frank Atkinson and Bonnie Byrd Atkinson. (CL-493E	GLENN, Mary Mandane (I7841)

2864	Mathias died unmarried. (C-1625)	COATES, Mathias C. Jr. (I872)
2865	Mathias is living in Northern Liberties in Philadelphia, PA in the 1810 census with his wife, children and a likely mother or mother-in-law. (EL) He went by the nickname of Mattie when he was deeded land by his future father-in-law, Asa. In an 1880 census his daughter Maria says her father was born in Pennsylvania. He was a brickmaker by trade.</line><line /><line> In many 2nd hand genealogies, Mathias is listed as the brother to David and the son of Stephen Marmaduke Coates. However, an outstanding researcher, Linda Merlino and myself have not been able to find any 1st hand evidence of a Stephen Marmaduke Coates or his wife Polly McNutt in any 1st hand document. Their names are not carried down in this family line and it is a family line that always carries at least one of the parents names also.</line><line /><line> Because Mathias was a brickmaker in Philadelphia as were many of his descendants, it is theorized that he was descended from the William and Joan Sisom Coats who had 3 sons whom were brickmakers in early Philadelphia by some of his descendants. So far, YDNA is not backing that up. Two testers descended from Mathias are not related to a descendant from Thomas, son of William and Joan Sisom Coates. This is not a certain conclusion until we get more YDNA testers from William and Joan Sisom Coates' sons. None of these testers are related to the Marmaduke and Mary Coate Coppock group proving once and for all that Mathias is not the grandson of Marmaduke and Mary Jane Coppock Coate through an unproven son named Stephen Marmaduke Coate.</line><line /><line> Via an intensive study of autosomal Dna evidence on Gedmatch, I have now helped cousin, Carol Coates, determine via 4 triangulations between her father and descendants of Marmaduke and Sarah Mathias Coates that he was the daughter of their daughter Mary Coates born the same year her father died. Because his last name is the same as hers, it suggests he was born out of wedlock before she married and had children with a Mr. Swann. We definitely know that he is the son of Mary Coates, d. of Marmaduke and Sarah Mathias Coate. This is a line that is now verified back to the 1500's in Somerset, England via YDNA and more recently in this country by autosomal DNA.	COATS, Mathias (I14823)
2866	Mathilda was also known as Maud. She was the widow of Henry IV, Emperor of Germany (d. 22 May, 1125) when she married Geoffrey Plantagenet. Her birth date is given as is in CD-100 and as 1104 in Harry's book (C-437 p. 567) and CD-102. Iten as 1103 in Piper's book. She is considered the first Queen of England. (C-330) She was known as Empress Maude during her marriage to Holy Roman Emperor Henry V. (C-2251g) In reality, the Title of Princess of England applies more easily as she was never really given the authority of Queen as her father had requested of his nobles.	QUEEN OF ENGLAND, Mathilda (I12342)
2867	Matilda is listed as the daughter of Henry de Erdington in 2nd hand sources, one being information submitted by J.H.Lawrence Lawler to www.ancestry.com. He gives her location as of Erdington, Shropshire, England and his source as a bookled, "Lee of Virginia" by Edmund Jennings Lee, c1895 and in print again in 2001. I have Erdington located in Shawbury, England at the time. This was land owned by the Henry I have connected her to. He is the only Henry I have been able to find in this time period and place. It is still a theory until I find confirmation that this couple had a daughter named Matilda. However, her name also supports this theory, as she would have been named after her father Henry's mother, Matilda. (F-438-440, E)	DE ERDINGTON, Matilda (I12775)
2868	Matilda was no longer living at home in 1820. (CL-335)	CLARK, Matilda (I8403)
2869	Matilda's birth year doesn't match her age in the only census we've found her in before she was married. She is listed at age 5 in the 1820 census for Frederick Co., MD. However, her age of 30-40 in the 1840 census would match.	BENTON, Matilda Ann(a) (I11705)
2870	Matthew is the likely son of Sir Thomas Howard-Arundel and Ann Philipson. This is supported by the naming of a son Philip; the disappearance in English records of their son Matthew after 1620; the fact that he would be a relative of the ter of the "London Virginia Company, Sir Edwin Sandys, through his mother's side; his appearance in Elizabeth City Co., VA about 1624 with Arundel, Willoughby, Wriothesley, Calvert, Montague, and Sandy relatives and by the fact that he moved to Anne Arundel Co., Maryland which was named after his sister. His son John used a stamp in wax of his family's coat of arms which was the Ducal House of Norfolk. Almost a hundred years later, a descendant, Cornelius Howard, buried on the family estate in Baltimore, had almost the exact same coat-of-arms added to his headstone. This coat-of-arms was nearly identical to the one used by the Duke of Norfolk living in the 1960's. It is also the lineage presented in several published books on this line. It should be noted that next to the Royal Family of England, the House of Howard ranks next. It's head, the Duke of Norfolk, is the hereditary Earl Marshall of England. Unlike most other noble houses of England, it states that it is of pure Saxon descent. It is believed he moved to Virginia because he was one of the middle sons of Thomas. His eldest half brother, son of Thomas's first wife, Maria Wriothesley, would have received the title and lands of his father. It was not uncommon for younger sons to travel to the new world to make their fortune. It should be noted that the Wriothesleys were also neighbors and friends of the Howards in Maryland. His first land purchase is not in actual records, but these same land records list him as the neighbor of Robert Taylor in Feb. of 1637. In 1638, He was granted 150 acres by Charles I in Lower Norfolk Co., VA (formerly Elizabeth City Co., VA) for bringing over his wife and two servants. He settled in Lower Norfolk Co., VA for a period of 20 years where it is assumed that all of his children were born. Since he made no claim for land for any children, this is proof that all of his children were born in Virginia. He and all but one of his sons were followers of the Established Church of England. He moved to Anne Arundel Co., Maryland between June of 1649 and July of 1650 with his friend and neighbor, Edward Lloyd. He likely moved his family to Maryland because his brother-in-law was the third Lord Baltimore of Maryland at the time. He died before 1659 when his son Philip was listed as an orphan when he gained some of his father's land through a guardian. We know for certain that 4 of his sons are brothers from a warrant for land in 1662 in Maryland for 900 acres given to his sons Cornelius, John, Matthew and Samuel. John S. Wurts, "Magna Charta" c1950 is sourced for Matthew's royal ancestry as well as his son Johns and needs to be located for further proof as to this family line.	HOWARD, Matthew (I5698)
2871	Matthew was on the militia rolls in 1742 in Augusta Co., Virginia. Men joined the Militia rolls when they were 16 at that time period according to researcher and lawyer, Janice McAlpine. If this is the first roll he was on, then it'shat he was born by 1726. They typically acquired land at age 21, and he obtained land 5 years later, again suggesting that he was born about 1726. The following from Chalkley applies to this Matthew Young and his father. In Vol. 3 of Chaukley, Matthew sells land given to him by his father: Page 160.--4th January, 1750. Mathew Young and Agness to Peter Wallace, 150-1/2 acres. Bought by James Young from Borden, recorded in Orange and conveyed by James to Mathew. On Whistle Creek of James River; corner to Low Todd. Teste: Joseph Lapsley, Richard Woods. Then later in the year, Matthew purchases more land from his father James: *Young, James (Sarah) 1750, for 12p; 150 1/2 acres sold, 1750, Matthew Young for 12pence... or a repeat of it in Vol 318-May 1760 James Young, miller, to Matthew Young, farmer, 150-1/2 acres, where Mathew lives on Whistle Creek of James; corner Lou Todd. Teste: Arthur and Abraham Brown, James McCown" when it might have been recorded at the settlement of James' estate.	YOUNG, Matthew (I6095)
2872	Maud and her first husband received lands at Campden from her mother's estate. They sold these lands about 1280. She married again without a license bef Apr 26, 1286 when she was fined for the same. (F-644)	DE SOMERY, Maud (Matilda) (I8397)
2873	Maud Stevens Coate was a true character. She is remembered by me as a great storyteller, chronic complainer, and the life of any party she attended. I really enjoyed how much fun she could be. The minute she attended a get-together, she'd be laughing and ready to do a jig. I remember her very expressive face as she scared the wits out of her grandchildren while telling them ghost stories around the campfire. I came to be a storyteller myself, partially due to her influence. When I interviewed her, she related an interesting story about how she and her husband met. She had gone to visit her cousin Helen Lee. Helen's cousin was Albert Pickering Coate. He came to visit Helen at the same time. The three of them raided the chicken coop and cooked their catch on the day they met. Maud and Albert married 7 months later when she was almost 18. My father says that Maud's sister, Keturah, forged her mother's name on the parent consent form for their marriage. Maude remembers that she weighed 98 pounds at this event. She had a very demanding life raising nine children through the depression years. She had to have a strong nature to make it through those years mastering the tasks of caring, cooking, and sewing for such a large crowd with absolutely minimal resources. Her husband died early in his fifties which meant she was alone to raise nine children. To her great credit, all of them graduated from High School. Four of them also completed several years of college. A fifth son, Richard, not only went to college but was likely the first Coate in our tree to achieve a degree, a B.A., majoring in theatre, minoring in American Literature and Art. Most of her children had some involvement in the service and major wars of the 20th century. Warren and Bob served in the army in World War II. Ben served in the Air Force. Richard served in the Korean War. Shirley was in the U.S. Air Force from 1952 -1955 serving in Newfoundland. Maude was one of the original liberated women. My uncle Richard, relayed the story of when she and her husband had gotten a new horse and buggy. Albert P. had warned her not to go near the horse until he had broken him in, but Maude was a stubborn woman. She rigged him up to the buggy to go pick up her husband after work at Armco. Not only was she in for a wild ride, but she sure surprised her husband when she flew past him in the buggy where she was trying to pick him up. She also was the first woman in Trenton to open her own business. She was an artist with her handmade afghans and crafts. Her craft store was apparently still open when I was very small. I have one memory of it. She had had the store for many years at that point in time. Her social security number, 301-30-0046 was issued in 1952, years after she had started her business. She lived most of her life at 113 John St. in Trenton, Ohio, the yellow wood home where her children were raised. Her sons helped move her to Columbus, Ohio for her last few years to be near her family. (C-2108E) According to the newspaper clipping from the Columbus Dispatch, she was a member of the Mt. Olivet Presbyterian Church, the W.S.M. Sewing Club, the C.I.C. Sunday School class, and the D.A.R. in Trenton, Ohio. Upon her death, just shy of 90 years, she left 20 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren. (C-281, 282, 283, 285, 286) She and her husband are buried a couple of rows from her cousin, Albert Dimmack in section 19 of Woodside Cemetery in Middletown, Ohio, and a son, Bill, who is in section 20 of that cemetery. ( C: Doc)	STEVENS, Maud (I12628)
2874	Maude might be called Magdelena in their father's will instead. In any case, a Maude is not in his will and a Magdelena is not listed in the christening records.	COPPOCK, Maude (I1137)
2875	Maude's birth year is in question. The family bible said it occurred in 1875. At least one birth record says 1874. I'm taking it that the bible is accurate as it looks to be a unique item entered at the time of birth. I have wonderful memories of this truly great character in my family. She was my great aunt. She was a tall, well built woman of great strength with deep auburn hair. She reminded me of how the actresss who played "Hello Dolly" looked. She was feisty and loving at the same time. Family history says she ran away from home, but when the records are checked, this did not occur till she was in her 20's. She ran away to be a governess. She and her first husband owned a bar. When her my great Uncle Lux died and prohibition set in, she made "hootch" in a still in her basement to support herself. At age 90, we were really upset that we'd forgotten her "hootch" recipe when she moved in with us. She outlived two husbands and was still on a bowling team in her 80's with much younger members than her. Aunt Maude was always giving me a "hard" time because I was so skinny. She'd tell me wise tales, like "Bury the dishcloth in the back yard, then you'll gain some weight and catch a man." She'd fondly slap me on my rear as I brushed my teeth as a teenager in the mornings as she passed me by. She always baked her own bread and everything else from scratch. Medical practices were homemade. She had a very strong intuitive medical sense. My Mother always said she'd have been a great doctor. Upset stomachs required burnt toast. All cuts and bruises got vinegar on them. She lived her last few years with our family and that meant that her room still reeked of vinegar well after she died in our home at about the age of 96. She was like a second mother to my mom and had raised her every summer of her life. Maude had no children of her own, and my mother was in a true sense that daughter. They lived meagerly, would give their shirts to people in need, and were very close knit with several of their best friend's families. They would all get together and play cards, the McGee's, Joe Acshamble, and Uncle Lux's two daughter's, Grace and Helen and their husbands. When Mom (Marcena Coate) was little, Uncle Lux, Aunt Maude's first husband, always wanted her around when they played cards. He called her "Sausage" as a nickname. He'd say, "Sausage, Come rub my head and bring me luck." She was the one out of her sisters that he was closest too and he told her it was because she was no trouble at all. She lived in a cottage style home up on Lake Sinclair in Michigan while I knew her. I got to go with my 2 cousins on a train to visit with her when I was but seven years of age. I can remember we took off in a row boat when the weather turned ugly and we poked holes in her fresh baked bread while it was still hot. It was so good. She was a rich character and so very loved by us all.	EVANS, Alice Maude (I11642)

2882	Michael came from Germany via Rotterdam on the James Goodwell, David Crockett, ship's master. The 200 passengers and 53 families were listed as Palatines. They arrived in Philadelphia on Sep 27, 1727. He was a Swiss Mennonite and a member of the Bair Mennonite Meeting house in Hanover, York Co, Pennsylvania He received the title of "King's Commissioner of Highways for Pennsylvania in 1734. About 1760 when his son, Jacob led a group of settlers from York Co, PA to Frederick Co, MD, Michael and sons Jacob and Henry ended up platting/surveying the Monocacy Road down the west side of the Monocacy River (with the Blue Ridge Mountains back of it.) It became a main route of settlement from Lancaster Co., PA, down the river, across the Blue Ridge at Frederick to the Potomic River (north of Harper's Ferry), on to Virginia, Tennessee and the Carolinas. This was called the Monocacy Trail. He also surveyed the York Road which was a very important route that linked York, PA to the Port of Baltimore. In 1770, he was listed as a prominent member to the Conewago German Baptist Brethren Church. (CL-514, 526) There is some indication that Michael also had a daughter named Mary Danner, as a John Kehr leaves a will in 1794 in York Co, PA that refers to his wife Mary and his loving brother in law, Henry Danner.

2884	Michael Jr. owned at least 4 tracks of land in York Co., Pennsylvania Two were called the "Valley of Peace" acquired on May 25, 1767 and two on "Chesnut Timber Hill" consisting of 193 acres. He and his family were members of the Little Co Church. It was not formed until 1741 and even then was located 14 miles from York, Pennsylvania In 1749, he was one of the commissioners who to lay out York Co. He was appointed the supervisor for Germany Twp., York Co. (now Adams Co.) PA in 1753. He lived in that same township and paid taxes there from 1762-1772. On Aug. 8, 1774, he was granted the land upon with the "Baer's Meeting House" and church were located in trust for the Mennonite Congregation by John and Thomas Penn. They were sons of William Penn. He was listed in the "4th Class" on Jan 30, 1782 in a Military List of Inhabitants for York Co., Pennsylvania Each person on this list was required to supply a man for military service or provide fees for same. Note that this was shortly before his death in that same year at his residence in the "Valley of Peace", Manheim Twp., York Co, Pennsylvania His children are listed in the York Co. Orphans Court Records, Book F, page 130. Michael Danner, was an early settler and large landowner in that township. Many persons who lived in the Southwestern part of this county and Manheim in particular were from the Grand Duchy of Baden near the historic old town of Manheim on the Rhine in Germany. Michael Danner was one of this group. He was the person who was recognized as giving this township in Pennsylvania it's name. The following document appears in the Orphan's Court Records for York Co., PA, Docket E, p.4-5. (CL-514E) It was translated by his descendant, Jenny Perry: "York County, Pennsylvania March AD 1815--Michael Danner's Guardian to Samuel Danner Know all men by those present, Whereas Michael Danner the younger late of Manheim Township in the county of York and the state of Pennsylvania, deceased who died intestate, and in his life time was owner and seized of two certain tracts of land situate in the township aforesaid, the one called "Valley of Peace" being the late dwelling plantation of the said deceased, Containing One hundred and thirty nine acres, and one hundred and fifty four perches and the usual allowance for Roads and highways.

2885	Michael Kutchmire lived in Olean and Jamestown, N.Y. most of his adult life. He had three children. He retired from the Pennsylvania Railroad. (D-74) He lived in Olean, NY in 1928 when his sister died. He lived in Florida in Jan. of 1970 when he visited Bradford to be best man for his sister, Irene's renewal of their marriage vows (D-19). He lived in Ashville, New York in Dec. of 1979 through 1982 according to newspaper obituaries when siblings died. (D-37, 74) In his own obituary, it states that he was a resident of Eggleston Hill Road, Panama and that he died at the home of his granddaughter. This could be interpreted as occurring in Panama or Jamestown, NY where the obituary originated. He was 95 at the time of his death. (F:DOC)	KUTCHMYRE, Michael (I11767)
2886	Michael was a toddler when his father died. He specifically was taken under the guardianship of his uncle Henry/Hienrich. At about age 30/31, Michael and his brother Jonathan were early settlers of Perry Twp., Gallia Co., OH arriving abo10 before that township was formed. They both appear to be of similar ages in the Gallia Co. census records, although Michael did not appear until the 1830 census, whereas Jonathan was in the 1820 census also. Michael Danner who was living in Perry Twp. in Gallia Co., Ohio by the 1830 census was between age 50 and 60. He made a land purchase there in 1827. There was a son age 10-14, one between 15 & 19 and one age 20-29. He also had one daughter age 15-19 and one 20-29. There is a Michael Danner of unknown location in the Familytreemaker database that was born on May 2, 1776 who might be this Michael by age. No further information was given on him in that database. (CL-515)	DANNER, Michael (I10408)
2887	Michael was killed in an automobile accident. He or his wife are not listed in the 1930 census for PA or NY. In the 1920 census, his wife's name is listed as Ella, his children are of the correct age and names for this to be the right. I am assuming that Veronica went by the name of Ella. He immigrated in 1908 and she in 1910. They were both born in Austria Hungary, their fathers were born in Austria Hungary and mothers in Austria. They were not naturalized. Michael's last name was spelled Pirilla in the old country of Nevicrke (Nevizcke) in what is now the Ukraine. It was a part of Austria Hungary when the families migrated.	PIRILLA, Michael (I16283)
2888	Michael was likely born in Ireland or England. His first son was born about 1635 in Flushing, NY. He lived in Eastchester, NY when his second son was born in 1638. He was in Portsmouth, NH in 1640. In 1645, he was listed as a creditore estate records of Wm Lotham in CT. Savage states that he was the father of William Chatterton of New Haven. He possibly had a brother named William and a wife named Jane. (F-405, 620)	CHATTERTON, Michael (I7645)

2890	Mihaly Vocsik possibly entered New York in 1892 traveling with his friend and roommate on the trip, Joseph Dudik. Mihaly is listed at age 27 on this his first known voyage. (Our birthdate for him would make him 14 instead.) His sister, Mocsik and Maria and Joseph's female relative, B. Bogdan were also on the trip in another cabin onboard. I assume they were watching out for them. According to a 1905 ships manifest, Mihaly had been in the US from 1902-1904 and was returning with his wife on the 1905 voyage. Mike lived in Ludlow, McKean Co., PA and had a daughter Mary. His nephew, John Joseph Dudick would visit Uncle Mike with his kids and go to Ludlow Park. This would have been somewhere in the vicinity of the 1920s or early 1930s. (D-116) Mike listed his place of birth in his 1928 Citizenship application as Nevezke, Czechoslovakia meaning that by 1928, his place of birth was in the country of Czechoslovokia instead of Hungary like when he was born. Mike (Mihaly) came to America sometime between 1902 and 1904 according to Ellis Island records on his 2nd return to this country. He might be the Mihaly Vilcsek who arrived on the Brandenburg from Breman on Apr. 9, 1903. He was listed at age 40 (so the age doesn't match), married, last residence of Oszhunya. He was going to stay with a friend in Kingstown, PA named Jedko Walaszke. He apparently returned for his wife Anna and they came over on Dec. 1, 1905 from Neovcke, Ungvar on the SS Savonia. Their listed destination was Ohio. They returned to the old country by 1910. On Sep. 6, 1910, he returned by himself on the SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. He was going to meet his brother, John Vovcsik in Johnsonburg, PA. Sometime later that year, Anna joined him as their son John was born in Sheffield, PA in Feb. 1911. His wife returned to Neviczke to live for the rest of her life with Anna and John shortly after John was born. He also is likely the Mike Vovcsik that went back for a visit in 1937 and returned to New York on Oct. 12 departing from the port of Cherbourg, France. In this record he stated he was married, of the correct age to be this Mike and was naturalized in Smithberg, PA in 1933. In this last record, he listed his residence as 219 Odell Ave., Endicott, NY. He had moved there around 1936.	VOCSIK, Mihaly Jr. (I5414)
2891	Mike was a forman who worked in that capacity on the rebuild of the Kinzu Bridge. He appears in a picture on a pamphlet describing it's rebuild. (D-167) That means he was probably in Pennsylvania by May of 1900. Mike was originally fromno, near Naples, Italy. He left a wife and two daughters behind when he came to work on the bridge. His eldest daughter was named Cosenza. I have a letter in Italian in my files where the daughters tried to obtain property from their father in 1932. (D-167) He and Mary met in Mt. Alton. They lived at Johnstown when their daughter, Josephine was born. They moved to Backus and then Kushekaw while their children were young. He married Mary twice, once in 1909 and the second in 1922 when he discovered his first wife had died back in Italy. (C-165)	CESARIO, Michael (Mick) Anthony (I12243)

2893	Miles and his wife, Mary had a child named Thomas and 11 children total. Miles was married twice, and did have 7 children, named George, Richard, Robert, Sanford, Nancy Jane, Washington, and Irene Marianna with his second wife Elizabeth. He lived near his father in the 1835 tax lists for Newton Twp., Miami Co., Ohio He died in the Civil War in 1863 of exposure resulting in pneumonia at about age 60. He lied about his age when he enlisted as he said that he was 45 years of age. (C-1873, 2097)	COATE, Miles David (I14707)
2894	Miles is age 11 in the 1850 census records for Clarke Co., AL and is 21 in the 1860 census living with the H.M. Gilmore Family. If true, he was born between his father's first two known wives, indicating that his father had a 4th wife thatot yet been found. (C-2095)	COATE, Miles (I864)

2896	Milton is in the Ohio Grave Registrations with his birth and death dates as given. His upright gravestone was in row 26, grave 39. He enlisted in the Civil War on Aug. 15, 1861 and was discharged on Nov. 24, 1862. He was a private in th, Co. B, 36th regiment, O.V.I. (CL-177) The 1890 census gives slightly different information on his service. They transcribed his name as Matton K. Glenn. It agrees accept for the dates, listing his enlistment as Aug. 12, 1851 and his discharge as Nov. 28, 1862. He had sustained a gunshot wound to his right hand. His address was listed as Vinton, Huntington Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. (CL-363) Milton purchased 10 acres of land from his father on Aug. 13, 1864 in Gallia Co. Deed records. He was an operator on the Underground Railroad along with his father, an uncle and a cousin. (CL-537)	GLENN, Milton Kimble (I11680)

Mary was the sister to Madison Starke Perry, the 4th Governor of Florida. (C-1948) She died before the census was taken in 1800 and therefore at the most only 2 of the daughters attributed to her and no sons at all were actually hers. Thblem is that at this point, we don't know which 2.

Mary was the widow of Abraham Potter when she married William Hammans between 1752 and 1755 in Kent, Delaware. She could by age be this Abrahams' widow or possibly the widow of a possible son of his named Abraham.

2853

Mary was their 10th child according to Richard Morgan and she was born on July 10, 1806. I have, however, found this birth date also listed for the Mary who was the supposed twin sister of Mark Coate, son of James Coate and Mary West. (C) Plus in an Ancestry World Tree submission by Don Coats, they give her birth date as 1798 instead and her marriage date as 1817 in Miami Co., Ohio. The marriage date of 1817 did take place in Miami Co., Ohio If she was born in 1806, she would have only been age 11. I therefore, assume that the 1798 birth date is more likely to be correct.

YOUNG, Lady Mary (I9097)

2855

Mary's birth date is the first detail in question about her. By all accounts she was born between the years of 1743 and 1748, with 1744 being the most often given date. The accounts typically revolve around her supposed age at the time of her capture by Indians and none are based on first hand records at the time. Mary's name is usually stated as Mary Jane Coppock. Quakers did not typically give their children middle names in this time period, but the name Mary Jane was actually considered one name together at the time. Sarah Ann was another popular combination at the time predating middle names. Tradition states Mary Jane Coppock was captured by the Indians as a child and was supposedly rescued and purchased back by her childhood friend, and future husband, Marmaduke Coate in 1763 or 1764. The following are a sampling of the accounts about Mary's capture in the records. Each of them has errors and conflicts when it comes to ages and dates, but the general tradition is the same. Note that multiple accounts state that her mother was killed in the raid, but this has been proven to be untrue.

According to a history of Newton Twp., Mary was captured at age 7 and kept in captivity for about five years. Before she escaped she had become familiar with their language and customs which was an aid to other settlers during Indian hostilities. Her length of stay and age of capture vary in almost every source on the subject with the amount of her capture being anywhere from 5 to 10 years, with the 10 year period being a bit more common. One source says that she and her sister were captured by the Cherokee Indians with John Roos being the half breed chief of the tribe. Her sister, "Paleface Koppock", or Martha, ended up marrying John Roos. Mary herself was supposedly called Paleface Nowanee/Nooanee. (C-1519f, 2221)

One of the more detailed accounts passed down in the family was located by Annie Natalelli-Waloszek in 1969 as a typewritten copy of a letter at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, 1300 Locust St in Philadelphia. This sounds like it was oe of the letters in the 1917-20's file claiming descendancy from Marmaduke and Mary Coppock Coate to prove inheritance in the Coate Coppock land deal. "Yours received in due time but we saw in the Messenger that your father had gone. Was sorry, my father passed away over the 24th of February age 85, 2 mo, 14days. I have lived to see my Aunt (Handwritten: she lives here in Oregon) she is nearly three years older than father, she will be 89 the 9th of August. She is strong for her age, and has a good memory. She tells us things that father and mother used to tell us when we were little, about the Indians capturing James Coppock family and two sisters. There were two sisters they did not get. James he kept out of there reach and escaped to a white settlement. The sisters names were Mary and Martha. The Martha was the baby and only six weeks old and Mary was about six years old. She was sitting in the bed of a cradle rocking the baby, when the Indians came in and killed the mother and took the girls. They kept them and raised them, Now this was the Mary that married the Coate, his name was Marmaduke Coate. He bought this girl from the Indians when she was 22 years old, he traded them a fine horse and new bridle and saddle for her. Then they had to run for there lives. He was afraid they would kill him and take the girl again. It took five days to reach his home. He built fires at night to deceive them, then they would go 2 or 3 miles away and cover themselves with leaves and bushes to sleep until morning. But little Martha she married an Indian. The Mary and the Che (Cheyenne?) Coates came across her among a tribe of Indians and her sister knew her. They persuaded her to go home with them then, but she wouldn't stay. She went back to her Indian husband. Now this Mary was my great great Grandmother that married the Marmaduke Coate, they had eleven children. My grandfathers name was Moses Coate, Who also married a Coppock. The first Moses Coate had a brother by the name of John and This was my great great grandfather. He was born about 1715. My aunt tells me they all came from England and settled in S. Carolina. Then they all came to Ohio about 1806. The Marmaduke Coate and his wife Mary lived to be old, she lived to be 93 years old and he lived to be 96. Now the Ancestors on, as they came down on my Grandmothers side, First John, 2nd Joseph, Calvin, James, Elizabeth Coppock. Now Elizabeth was My Great Great Grandmother. And now on the Coate side, first Marmaduke who married Mary Coppock sister of James Coppock. The Moses my great grandfather and the Moses my Father. I have papers, leases, of everything back to sixteenth century. Rachel"

For years now, Coates have hunted for the exact raid in which Mary and Martha were taken. Dr. David Ramsey as relayed by Percy Pemberton Brown in Park's 1960 version of "The Ancestors and Descendants of Marmaduke Coate of South Carolina and Ohio" believed the following raid could apply to her. It was from Percy's notes taken from "The History of South Carolina." "This history was first published in 1809. It was the work of Dr. David Ramsay, a physician of Charleston, S.C. and a native of that city. ...In 1754 there was a massacre of Cuttery of Buffalo Creek, near where it enters Broad River, in the north-west corner of York County, S.C. The women of the party were away at the time, having gone to a squires with a young couple wishing to marry. The men were asleep or lounging about, and the children were playing when the savages struck. Sixteen were killed including all the men of the party, and 5 children were taken captive. Some were soon released, but one child recovered in October the following year, was supposed to have been of this party. The tense situation which the governor left to go to Charleston, exploded soon afterward, Indian hostages killed, and the soldiers of Ft. Prince George massacred. Civilians removed from the area... Governor Glen of South Carolina held a treaty with the Cherokees in October 1755, ostensibly to brighten the chain of friendship, but really to obtain a corner of their lands and a liberty to erect forts on the western frontier, as a barrier against the French on the southwest. Both were granted. This was the meeting at which a white child was turned over to the governor's party, who had been recovered by the Cherokees from French Indians."

I personally do not believe this 1754 raid is the one in which Mary Jane Coppock was taken for the following reasons. 1) Marmaduke was likely to be too young in 1754, especially if he was born in 1738 as is the current train of thought. 2) Marmaduke lived in New Jersey in 1755, far from the Carolinas at the time. 3) Marmaduke is also listed without wife when he moves with his father, Henry and brother's James and John from Hunterdon Co., NJ to the New Garden MM, in NC in 1757. 4) All verified children of Marmaduke and Mary Jane Coppock were not born until 1764 as per their bible and Quaker Records, meaning that if he rescued her in 1755, he didn't marry her for years later which again doesn't fit with tradition. 5) She would have only been a captive for a year, and that doesn't match any of the historical accounts on her capture. It is a fascinating story, but not likely to be the exact circumstances of our Mary Jane's Coppock's capture. Patti Sue McCrary has found another Indian raid which has a much better chance of being the raid in which Mary was captured. It also occurred in 1754, but in what was Granville Co., NC at the time. The Tuscaroras Tribe (in the Roanoke River in Bertie and Edgecombe consisting of 100 warriors and 2 women and children) and the Saponi Indians' (14 warriors strong of on the Western side of Granville Co.) rose up in that year, so that a militia was called together of all able bodied males in Granville Co. to protect their new settlements. One thousand, three hundred and seventeen men responded. The Indian uprising which the "History of Edgecombe County" states culminated in 17 persons being killed and ten to twelve captives being taken, was the culmination of Indian revolt in the area. This is the county where her father, Moses Coppock is on the muster rolls in 1754 and where he paid taxes in 1755.

An account of this uprising is supposedly covered in original Council Journals and House Journals for Granville Co., NC or Edgecombe Co., NC which was adjacent to Granville Co. at the time. A 1931 Duke University Masters thesis by Nannie M. Tilley that mentions this raid, sites these Council Journals. It is available in the Richard A. Thorton library in Oxford, North Carolina. (C-2221, 2239) The fit on this account is excellent for the following reasons. 1) Mary would have been a captive for about a 10 year period as many traditions claim. (i.e. Quaker Records of the Miami Co., OH by Davis & Corinee Diller's Coate book.) 2) Her sister could have been amongst the 10 or so captives. 3) Marmaduke and Mary by a traditional account were said to have traveled fast and hard by foot for 5 nights, sleeping under leaves during the day. This would estimate the distance from the tribe to Marmaduke's home from between 50 and 150 miles. Most of the Tuscaroras Indians lived in Granville along the Neuse River near knap of Reeds Creek and in the northern part of the county between Grassy and Island Creeks. From 1753-1758 the Saponi (14 men and 14 women strong) lived slightly north of Henderson. The Saponi, by the way, had assimilated into the Tuscarora, Meherrin, and Machapunga tribes and moved north by 1802. At the time of Mary's capture, these tribes were approximately within 100 miles of where Marmaduke lived in NC in 1763/4. (C-2221, 2225: Swanton, John: The Indian Tribes of North America) 5) Marmaduke would have been of an appropriate age to rescue and marry Mary in 1763/4, about 25. 6) It is where Mary's possible father, Moses Coppock, was on the muster rolls in 1754 as every bodied male was in the militia at that time who lived in that territory. To actually prove the fit is accurate, we might be able to find significant evidence in newspapers of the time or in the colonial records for NC in Granville and Edgcombe Counties.

COPPOCK, Mary Jane (I11703)

Mary's birth date was listed as Nov. 15, 1774 in at least one source and June 9, 177(8) in her brother's family bible. She married Samuel Curry in 1800 as verified in "Augusta Co. Marriages." and confirmed in her father, George Glenn's where was more than one Mary Glenn in this time and place. This Mary should not be confused with the Mary whose tombstone says she is the daughter of James Glenn.

Mary is listed as the daughter of George Glenn, infant, in the will of her grandfather, James Young. She would have been at least 12 at the time, but the term infant simply minor or under age in that period. (CL-185) Mary's husband was her cousin. (CL-468) According to Margaret Robinson, she and her husband removed to Staunton Co., VA. That is not where I have them at the end of their lives when they died though.

GLENN, Mary Ann (I15943)

2857

Mary's maiden name listed in her daughter's first marriage application to Michael Cesario is Mary Budgon and in her second is Mary Smith. Smith was often a translation of a much different common name in the old country. However, in this, I simply believe Mary said the name of a person was Smith when she didn't want to reveal the identity of a person. This is based on the fact that in her first marriage application she said her father's name was Mike Smith. (D-170) In records of this family from Neviczke, in what is now the Ukraine, this name was spelled Bogdan or Bogdoin. Maria and Joseph Dudik's first son Andras had his baptism witnessed by a Julianna Bogdoin. This could easily be a sister, mother or niece of this Maria Bogdan. Also, when Maria's daughter, Maria Vocsik, emmigrated to the U.S. in 1892, she traveled with a female relative of her mother's named (Baoko)? Bogdan, age 18, a likely sister or cousin. When an untranslated record occurs for a Bax.. Dudik, witnesses were a Joseph Popovitz and an a Borbola Bogdan (female).

Mary's Quaker marriage record is available at Charlotte Coats Siercks site. Under her and her husbands married name, her closest relatives are listed as (in order): Marmaduke Coate (father) , Ann Coate (mother), Abigail Raper (mother of husband???), Joshua Rapor (brother of husband???), Mary Smith (There is a Mary Smith married to a William Cotes at this point in time of Philadelphia), Abigail Rapor (sister of husband???), William Coate (brother), Elizabeth (J.....), Solomon Smith, Edith Coate (sister), Hannah Coate (sister), Martha Raper, Joan Humphrey, Elizabeth Coate (her 2nd cousin, d.of Samuel and Mary Saunders Coate), and Deborah (Powell) (There is a Deborah Powell married to William Coate, uncle of this Mary at this point in time). The next column to the left of slightly more distant relatives or friends includes a John Budd. I'm wondering if Quaker put the ladies by their maiden names as witnesses, even after they married to show clearly who they were. (E) Mary and her husband are listed in the closest relatives column for Mary Coate, d. of James Coate and Mary Watson. That would make them 2nd cousins to Mary Coate who married Edmund Sands. It's evidence that the Marmaduke Coate Branch was 1st cousins or kinsman to the John Coate also in NJ as also mentioned in Ann Pole Coate's will.</line><line /><line />

COATES, Mathias C. Jr. (I872)

2865

Mathias is living in Northern Liberties in Philadelphia, PA in the 1810 census with his wife, children and a likely mother or mother-in-law. (EL) He went by the nickname of Mattie when he was deeded land by his future father-in-law, Asa. In an 1880 census his daughter Maria says her father was born in Pennsylvania. He was a brickmaker by trade.</line><line /><line> In many 2nd hand genealogies, Mathias is listed as the brother to David and the son of Stephen Marmaduke Coates. However, an outstanding researcher, Linda Merlino and myself have not been able to find any 1st hand evidence of a Stephen Marmaduke Coates or his wife Polly McNutt in any 1st hand document. Their names are not carried down in this family line and it is a family line that always carries at least one of the parents names also.</line><line /><line> Because Mathias was a brickmaker in Philadelphia as were many of his descendants, it is theorized that he was descended from the William and Joan Sisom Coats who had 3 sons whom were brickmakers in early Philadelphia by some of his descendants. So far, YDNA is not backing that up. Two testers descended from Mathias are not related to a descendant from Thomas, son of William and Joan Sisom Coates. This is not a certain conclusion until we get more YDNA testers from William and Joan Sisom Coates' sons. None of these testers are related to the Marmaduke and Mary Coate Coppock group proving once and for all that Mathias is not the grandson of Marmaduke and Mary Jane Coppock Coate through an unproven son named Stephen Marmaduke Coate.</line><line /><line> Via an intensive study of autosomal Dna evidence on Gedmatch, I have now helped cousin, Carol Coates, determine via 4 triangulations between her father and descendants of Marmaduke and Sarah Mathias Coates that he was the daughter of their daughter Mary Coates born the same year her father died. Because his last name is the same as hers, it suggests he was born out of wedlock before she married and had children with a Mr. Swann. We definitely know that he is the son of Mary Coates, d. of Marmaduke and Sarah Mathias Coate. This is a line that is now verified back to the 1500's in Somerset, England via YDNA and more recently in this country by autosomal DNA.

Mathilda was also known as Maud. She was the widow of Henry IV, Emperor of Germany (d. 22 May, 1125) when she married Geoffrey Plantagenet. Her birth date is given as is in CD-100 and as 1104 in Harry's book (C-437 p. 567) and CD-102. Iten as 1103 in Piper's book. She is considered the first Queen of England. (C-330) She was known as Empress Maude during her marriage to Holy Roman Emperor Henry V. (C-2251g) In reality, the Title of Princess of England applies more easily as she was never really given the authority of Queen as her father had requested of his nobles.

QUEEN OF ENGLAND, Mathilda (I12342)

2867

Matilda is listed as the daughter of Henry de Erdington in 2nd hand sources, one being information submitted by J.H.Lawrence Lawler to www.ancestry.com. He gives her location as of Erdington, Shropshire, England and his source as a bookled, "Lee of Virginia" by Edmund Jennings Lee, c1895 and in print again in 2001. I have Erdington located in Shawbury, England at the time. This was land owned by the Henry I have connected her to. He is the only Henry I have been able to find in this time period and place. It is still a theory until I find confirmation that this couple had a daughter named Matilda. However, her name also supports this theory, as she would have been named after her father Henry's mother, Matilda. (F-438-440, E)

Matilda's birth year doesn't match her age in the only census we've found her in before she was married. She is listed at age 5 in the 1820 census for Frederick Co., MD. However, her age of 30-40 in the 1840 census would match.

BENTON, Matilda Ann(a) (I11705)

2870

Matthew is the likely son of Sir Thomas Howard-Arundel and Ann Philipson. This is supported by the naming of a son Philip; the disappearance in English records of their son Matthew after 1620; the fact that he would be a relative of the ter of the "London Virginia Company, Sir Edwin Sandys, through his mother's side; his appearance in Elizabeth City Co., VA about 1624 with Arundel, Willoughby, Wriothesley, Calvert, Montague, and Sandy relatives and by the fact that he moved to Anne Arundel Co., Maryland which was named after his sister. His son John used a stamp in wax of his family's coat of arms which was the Ducal House of Norfolk. Almost a hundred years later, a descendant, Cornelius Howard, buried on the family estate in Baltimore, had almost the exact same coat-of-arms added to his headstone. This coat-of-arms was nearly identical to the one used by the Duke of Norfolk living in the 1960's. It is also the lineage presented in several published books on this line.

It should be noted that next to the Royal Family of England, the House of Howard ranks next. It's head, the Duke of Norfolk, is the hereditary Earl Marshall of England. Unlike most other noble houses of England, it states that it is of pure Saxon descent.

It is believed he moved to Virginia because he was one of the middle sons of Thomas. His eldest half brother, son of Thomas's first wife, Maria Wriothesley, would have received the title and lands of his father. It was not uncommon for younger sons to travel to the new world to make their fortune. It should be noted that the Wriothesleys were also neighbors and friends of the Howards in Maryland.

His first land purchase is not in actual records, but these same land records list him as the neighbor of Robert Taylor in Feb. of 1637. In 1638, He was granted 150 acres by Charles I in Lower Norfolk Co., VA (formerly Elizabeth City Co., VA) for bringing over his wife and two servants. He settled in Lower Norfolk Co., VA for a period of 20 years where it is assumed that all of his children were born. Since he made no claim for land for any children, this is proof that all of his children were born in Virginia.

He and all but one of his sons were followers of the Established Church of England. He moved to Anne Arundel Co., Maryland between June of 1649 and July of 1650 with his friend and neighbor, Edward Lloyd. He likely moved his family to Maryland because his brother-in-law was the third Lord Baltimore of Maryland at the time. He died before 1659 when his son Philip was listed as an orphan when he gained some of his father's land through a guardian.

We know for certain that 4 of his sons are brothers from a warrant for land in 1662 in Maryland for 900 acres given to his sons Cornelius, John, Matthew and Samuel.

John S. Wurts, "Magna Charta" c1950 is sourced for Matthew's royal ancestry as well as his son Johns and needs to be located for further proof as to this family line.

HOWARD, Matthew (I5698)

2871

Matthew was on the militia rolls in 1742 in Augusta Co., Virginia. Men joined the Militia rolls when they were 16 at that time period according to researcher and lawyer, Janice McAlpine. If this is the first roll he was on, then it'shat he was born by 1726. They typically acquired land at age 21, and he obtained land 5 years later, again suggesting that he was born about 1726. The following from Chalkley applies to this Matthew Young and his father. In Vol. 3 of Chaukley, Matthew sells land given to him by his father: Page 160.--4th January, 1750. Mathew Young and Agness to Peter Wallace, 150-1/2 acres. Bought by James Young from Borden, recorded in Orange and conveyed by James to Mathew. On Whistle Creek of James River; corner to Low Todd. Teste: Joseph Lapsley, Richard Woods. Then later in the year, Matthew purchases more land from his father James: *Young, James (Sarah) 1750, for 12p; 150 1/2 acres sold, 1750, Matthew Young for 12pence... or a repeat of it in Vol 318-May 1760 James Young, miller, to Matthew Young, farmer, 150-1/2 acres, where Mathew lives on Whistle Creek of James; corner Lou Todd. Teste: Arthur and Abraham Brown, James McCown" when it might have been recorded at the settlement of James' estate.

DE SOMERY, Maud (Matilda) (I8397)

2873

Maud Stevens Coate was a true character. She is remembered by me as a great storyteller, chronic complainer, and the life of any party she attended. I really enjoyed how much fun she could be. The minute she attended a get-together, she'd be laughing and ready to do a jig. I remember her very expressive face as she scared the wits out of her grandchildren while telling them ghost stories around the campfire. I came to be a storyteller myself, partially due to her influence.

When I interviewed her, she related an interesting story about how she and her husband met. She had gone to visit her cousin Helen Lee. Helen's cousin was Albert Pickering Coate. He came to visit Helen at the same time. The three of them raided the chicken coop and cooked their catch on the day they met. Maud and Albert married 7 months later when she was almost 18. My father says that Maud's sister, Keturah, forged her mother's name on the parent consent form for their marriage. Maude remembers that she weighed 98 pounds at this event.

She had a very demanding life raising nine children through the depression years. She had to have a strong nature to make it through those years mastering the tasks of caring, cooking, and sewing for such a large crowd with absolutely minimal resources. Her husband died early in his fifties which meant she was alone to raise nine children. To her great credit, all of them graduated from High School. Four of them also completed several years of college. A fifth son, Richard, not only went to college but was likely the first Coate in our tree to achieve a degree, a B.A., majoring in theatre, minoring in American Literature and Art.

Most of her children had some involvement in the service and major wars of the 20th century. Warren and Bob served in the army in World War II. Ben served in the Air Force. Richard served in the Korean War. Shirley was in the U.S. Air Force from 1952 -1955 serving in Newfoundland. Maude was one of the original liberated women. My uncle Richard, relayed the story of when she and her husband had gotten a new horse and buggy. Albert P. had warned her not to go near the horse until he had broken him in, but Maude was a stubborn woman. She rigged him up to the buggy to go pick up her husband after work at Armco. Not only was she in for a wild ride, but she sure surprised her husband when she flew past him in the buggy where she was trying to pick him up.

She also was the first woman in Trenton to open her own business. She was an artist with her handmade afghans and crafts. Her craft store was apparently still open when I was very small. I have one memory of it. She had had the store for many years at that point in time. Her social security number, 301-30-0046 was issued in 1952, years after she had started her business.

She lived most of her life at 113 John St. in Trenton, Ohio, the yellow wood home where her children were raised. Her sons helped move her to Columbus, Ohio for her last few years to be near her family. (C-2108E) According to the newspaper clipping from the Columbus Dispatch, she was a member of the Mt. Olivet Presbyterian Church, the W.S.M. Sewing Club, the C.I.C. Sunday School class, and the D.A.R. in Trenton, Ohio. Upon her death, just shy of 90 years, she left 20 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren. (C-281, 282, 283, 285, 286) She and her husband are buried a couple of rows from her cousin, Albert Dimmack in section 19 of Woodside Cemetery in Middletown, Ohio, and a son, Bill, who is in section 20 of that cemetery.

COPPOCK, Maude (I1137)

2875

Maude's birth year is in question. The family bible said it occurred in 1875. At least one birth record says 1874. I'm taking it that the bible is accurate as it looks to be a unique item entered at the time of birth. I have wonderful memories of this truly great character in my family. She was my great aunt. She was a tall, well built woman of great strength with deep auburn hair. She reminded me of how the actresss who played "Hello Dolly" looked. She was feisty and loving at the same time. Family history says she ran away from home, but when the records are checked, this did not occur till she was in her 20's. She ran away to be a governess. She and her first husband owned a bar. When her my great Uncle Lux died and prohibition set in, she made "hootch" in a still in her basement to support herself. At age 90, we were really upset that we'd forgotten her "hootch" recipe when she moved in with us. She outlived two husbands and was still on a bowling team in her 80's with much younger members than her.

Aunt Maude was always giving me a "hard" time because I was so skinny. She'd tell me wise tales, like "Bury the dishcloth in the back yard, then you'll gain some weight and catch a man." She'd fondly slap me on my rear as I brushed my teeth as a teenager in the mornings as she passed me by. She always baked her own bread and everything else from scratch. Medical practices were homemade. She had a very strong intuitive medical sense. My Mother always said she'd have been a great doctor. Upset stomachs required burnt toast. All cuts and bruises got vinegar on them. She lived her last few years with our family and that meant that her room still reeked of vinegar well after she died in our home at about the age of 96. She was like a second mother to my mom and had raised her every summer of her life. Maude had no children of her own, and my mother was in a true sense that daughter.

They lived meagerly, would give their shirts to people in need, and were very close knit with several of their best friend's families. They would all get together and play cards, the McGee's, Joe Acshamble, and Uncle Lux's two daughter's, Grace and Helen and their husbands. When Mom (Marcena Coate) was little, Uncle Lux, Aunt Maude's first husband, always wanted her around when they played cards. He called her "Sausage" as a nickname. He'd say, "Sausage, Come rub my head and bring me luck." She was the one out of her sisters that he was closest too and he told her it was because she was no trouble at all. She lived in a cottage style home up on Lake Sinclair in Michigan while I knew her. I got to go with my 2 cousins on a train to visit with her when I was but seven years of age. I can remember we took off in a row boat when the weather turned ugly and we poked holes in her fresh baked bread while it was still hot. It was so good.

She was a rich character and so very loved by us all.

Michael came from Germany via Rotterdam on the James Goodwell, David Crockett, ship's master. The 200 passengers and 53 families were listed as Palatines. They arrived in Philadelphia on Sep 27, 1727.

He was a Swiss Mennonite and a member of the Bair Mennonite Meeting house in Hanover, York Co, Pennsylvania He received the title of "King's Commissioner of Highways for Pennsylvania in 1734. About 1760 when his son, Jacob led a group of settlers from York Co, PA to Frederick Co, MD, Michael and sons Jacob and Henry ended up platting/surveying the Monocacy Road down the west side of the Monocacy River (with the Blue Ridge Mountains back of it.) It became a main route of settlement from Lancaster Co., PA, down the river, across the Blue Ridge at Frederick to the Potomic River (north of Harper's Ferry), on to Virginia, Tennessee and the Carolinas. This was called the Monocacy Trail.

He also surveyed the York Road which was a very important route that linked York, PA to the Port of Baltimore. In 1770, he was listed as a prominent member to the Conewago German Baptist Brethren Church. (CL-514, 526)

There is some indication that Michael also had a daughter named Mary Danner, as a John Kehr leaves a will in 1794 in York Co, PA that refers to his wife Mary and his loving brother in law, Henry Danner. (CL-526)

Michael Jr. owned at least 4 tracks of land in York Co., Pennsylvania Two were called the "Valley of Peace" acquired on May 25, 1767 and two on "Chesnut Timber Hill" consisting of 193 acres. He and his family were members of the Little Co Church. It was not formed until 1741 and even then was located 14 miles from York, Pennsylvania In 1749, he was one of the commissioners who to lay out York Co. He was appointed the supervisor for Germany Twp., York Co. (now Adams Co.) PA in 1753. He lived in that same township and paid taxes there from 1762-1772. On Aug. 8, 1774, he was granted the land upon with the "Baer's Meeting House" and church were located in trust for the Mennonite Congregation by John and Thomas Penn. They were sons of William Penn. He was listed in the "4th Class" on Jan 30, 1782 in a Military List of Inhabitants for York Co., Pennsylvania Each person on this list was required to supply a man for military service or provide fees for same. Note that this was shortly before his death in that same year at his residence in the "Valley of Peace", Manheim Twp., York Co, Pennsylvania His children are listed in the York Co. Orphans Court Records, Book F, page 130. Michael Danner, was an early settler and large landowner in that township. Many persons who lived in the Southwestern part of this county and Manheim in particular were from the Grand Duchy of Baden near the historic old town of Manheim on the Rhine in Germany. Michael Danner was one of this group. He was the person who was recognized as giving this township in Pennsylvania it's name. The following document appears in the Orphan's Court Records for York Co., PA, Docket E, p.4-5. (CL-514E) It was translated by his descendant, Jenny Perry: "York County, Pennsylvania March AD 1815--Michael Danner's Guardian to Samuel Danner Know all men by those present, Whereas Michael Danner the younger late of Manheim Township in the county of York and the state of Pennsylvania, deceased who died intestate, and in his life time was owner and seized of two certain tracts of land situate in the township aforesaid, the one called "Valley of Peace" being the late dwelling plantation of the said deceased, Containing One hundred and thirty nine acres, and one hundred and fifty four perches and the usual allowance for Roads and highways.

He lived in Ashville, New York in Dec. of 1979 through 1982 according to newspaper obituaries when siblings died. (D-37, 74)

In his own obituary, it states that he was a resident of Eggleston Hill Road, Panama and that he died at the home of his granddaughter. This could be interpreted as occurring in Panama or Jamestown, NY where the obituary originated. He was 95 at the time of his death. (F:DOC)

Michael was a toddler when his father died. He specifically was taken under the guardianship of his uncle Henry/Hienrich. At about age 30/31, Michael and his brother Jonathan were early settlers of Perry Twp., Gallia Co., OH arriving abo10 before that township was formed. They both appear to be of similar ages in the Gallia Co. census records, although Michael did not appear until the 1830 census, whereas Jonathan was in the 1820 census also. Michael Danner who was living in Perry Twp. in Gallia Co., Ohio by the 1830 census was between age 50 and 60. He made a land purchase there in 1827. There was a son age 10-14, one between 15 & 19 and one age 20-29. He also had one daughter age 15-19 and one 20-29. There is a Michael Danner of unknown location in the Familytreemaker database that was born on May 2, 1776 who might be this Michael by age. No further information was given on him in that database.

Michael was killed in an automobile accident. He or his wife are not listed in the 1930 census for PA or NY. In the 1920 census, his wife's name is listed as Ella, his children are of the correct age and names for this to be the right. I am assuming that Veronica went by the name of Ella. He immigrated in 1908 and she in 1910. They were both born in Austria Hungary, their fathers were born in Austria Hungary and mothers in Austria. They were not naturalized. Michael's last name was spelled Pirilla in the old country of Nevicrke (Nevizcke) in what is now the Ukraine. It was a part of Austria Hungary when the families migrated.

Michael was likely born in Ireland or England. His first son was born about 1635 in Flushing, NY. He lived in Eastchester, NY when his second son was born in 1638. He was in Portsmouth, NH in 1640. In 1645, he was listed as a creditore estate records of Wm Lotham in CT. Savage states that he was the father of William Chatterton of New Haven. He possibly had a brother named William and a wife named Jane. (F-405, 620)

Mihaly Vocsik possibly entered New York in 1892 traveling with his friend and roommate on the trip, Joseph Dudik. Mihaly is listed at age 27 on this his first known voyage. (Our birthdate for him would make him 14 instead.) His sister, Mocsik and Maria and Joseph's female relative, B. Bogdan were also on the trip in another cabin onboard. I assume they were watching out for them. According to a 1905 ships manifest, Mihaly had been in the US from 1902-1904 and was returning with his wife on the 1905 voyage.

Mike lived in Ludlow, McKean Co., PA and had a daughter Mary. His nephew, John Joseph Dudick would visit Uncle Mike with his kids and go to Ludlow Park. This would have been somewhere in the vicinity of the 1920s or early 1930s. (D-116) Mike listed his place of birth in his 1928 Citizenship application as Nevezke, Czechoslovakia meaning that by 1928, his place of birth was in the country of Czechoslovokia instead of Hungary like when he was born.

Mike (Mihaly) came to America sometime between 1902 and 1904 according to Ellis Island records on his 2nd return to this country. He might be the Mihaly Vilcsek who arrived on the Brandenburg from Breman on Apr. 9, 1903. He was listed at age 40 (so the age doesn't match), married, last residence of Oszhunya. He was going to stay with a friend in Kingstown, PA named Jedko Walaszke. He apparently returned for his wife Anna and they came over on Dec. 1, 1905 from Neovcke, Ungvar on the SS Savonia. Their listed destination was Ohio.

They returned to the old country by 1910. On Sep. 6, 1910, he returned by himself on the SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. He was going to meet his brother, John Vovcsik in Johnsonburg, PA. Sometime later that year, Anna joined him as their son John was born in Sheffield, PA in Feb. 1911. His wife returned to Neviczke to live for the rest of her life with Anna and John shortly after John was born.

He also is likely the Mike Vovcsik that went back for a visit in 1937 and returned to New York on Oct. 12 departing from the port of Cherbourg, France. In this record he stated he was married, of the correct age to be this Mike and was naturalized in Smithberg, PA in 1933. In this last record, he listed his residence as 219 Odell Ave., Endicott, NY. He had moved there around 1936.

Mike was a forman who worked in that capacity on the rebuild of the Kinzu Bridge. He appears in a picture on a pamphlet describing it's rebuild. (D-167) That means he was probably in Pennsylvania by May of 1900. Mike was originally fromno, near Naples, Italy. He left a wife and two daughters behind when he came to work on the bridge. His eldest daughter was named Cosenza. I have a letter in Italian in my files where the daughters tried to obtain property from their father in 1932. (D-167) He and Mary met in Mt. Alton. They lived at Johnstown when their daughter, Josephine was born. They moved to Backus and then Kushekaw while their children were young. He married Mary twice, once in 1909 and the second in 1922 when he discovered his first wife had died back in Italy. (C-165)

Miles is age 11 in the 1850 census records for Clarke Co., AL and is 21 in the 1860 census living with the H.M. Gilmore Family. If true, he was born between his father's first two known wives, indicating that his father had a 4th wife thatot yet been found. (C-2095)

Milton is in the Ohio Grave Registrations with his birth and death dates as given. His upright gravestone was in row 26, grave 39. He enlisted in the Civil War on Aug. 15, 1861 and was discharged on Nov. 24, 1862. He was a private in th, Co. B, 36th regiment, O.V.I. (CL-177) The 1890 census gives slightly different information on his service. They transcribed his name as Matton K. Glenn. It agrees accept for the dates, listing his enlistment as Aug. 12, 1851 and his discharge as Nov. 28, 1862. He had sustained a gunshot wound to his right hand. His address was listed as Vinton, Huntington Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. (CL-363) Milton purchased 10 acres of land from his father on Aug. 13, 1864 in Gallia Co. Deed records. He was an operator on the Underground Railroad along with his father, an uncle and a cousin. (CL-537)

Miriam is called Marian in her daughter Mary's baptismal certificate. She died enroute to the Americas on the "Welcome", a few days before her brother, Ingram. This was William Penn's first expedition to Pennsylvania. Small Pox killedy out of 100 passengers on board. Her three children on board went under the care of her brother, G. Ingram. (C-1419, 1420, 1427, 1428, 1435, 1583) Miriam is also listed in John Ingram's will dated 1658. Though the relationship was not stated, from the pattern in the will, it is likely that she was his niece. When relationships were stated in John's will, they were daughters of his brothers.
