2901	Mom knew him as Uncle Chuck. He divorced his first wife. After they were divorced, his wife's home caught fire. The mother screamed when she jumped out the attic window. The daughter tried to help her mother and was caught in then the attic instead where she died.	SCHAFER, Charles M. (I12255)
2902	Moses and his wife had six children. (C-1615)	COATES, Moses (I14779)
2903	Moses and Lydia had 7 children and lived near Tippacanoe City, Ohio. His cemetery stone says that he was 89 years and 10 months of age. He lived near Laura, OH when he died. (C-941, 1546)	COPPOCK, Moses (I13669)
2904	Moses birth date is 9m 5d 1768 in Hinshaw's Encyclopedia. Moses purchased land in Newberry Co., SC on July 19, 1796 from John Perry. (C-908) He was in the 1800 Newberry Co. Census records listed as Mose Coates between the ages of 26 andis wife was between the ages of 16 and 26. He had one son and two daughters under age ten. Moses and brother, Samuel went on a prospecting tour of Newton Twp., Union County, Ohio before they moved and were joined by their father Marmaduke. (C-27e) Moses sold his land in Newberry on Jan. 20, 1804 to Moses Kelly. Moses Coate and family officially removed to the Miami MM, Waynesville in Ohio with letter dated 2/25/1804. They purchased 161.24 acres in Range 5, Township 6, Section 5 in the Southwest Quarter of Union Township on Sept. 25, 1804. (C-55, 100, 253k, 556) They paid $1.61 in taxes on this property according to the 1810 Tax Duplicates (C-61b). He is also in the 1827 and 1835 tax lists for Union Twp., Miami Co., OH living next to his probable son, Joseph. (E) In the 1820 census, Moses and family are living in Union Twp., Miami County, Ohio with the following numbers of persons in their home: 4 Males under 10, 1 between 10-16, 1 between 16-18, 2 between 26-45, 1 over 45 and 1 female between 10-16, 1 between 16-26, 1 between 26-45 and 1 over 45. Moses is living next to his brother Samuel in this census. It appears that Moses left the Quaker Church, as there is a Moses and Betsy Coats and possible daughter-in-law, Margaret Coats (wife of son William Coate) who were charter members of the Greenville Creek Church of Christ on Aug. 9, 1843. If this record belongs to this Moses, he was disowned for immoral conduct by the Church of Christ at an unknown later date. Moses left a will dated the 16th day, 5th mo, 1842 in Miami County as transcribed herein. "In the name of the Benevolent Father of all..I Moses Coate of Union Township in the Count of Miami and State of Ohio do make and publish this my last will and Testament. First it is my will that my just debts and all charges be paid out of my Estate. I give and devise all the (residue) of my estate to Elizabeth Coate my wife both real and personal during her natural life except what is hereinafter devised. I give and devise to Sarah Jean Coate my grand Daughter one good bed & beding such as is common and also one Cow & calf when she shall arrive at the years of Eighteen. 4th I give and devise at the decease of my said wife all my real estate to my son Benjamin Coate..his heirs and assigns forever and that the said Benjamin Coate shall pay to my son Jesse Coate the sum of fifty dollars in a measurable time after the decease of my wife. 5th I give and devise all the reamining goods chattles & personal property whatsover there may be at the decease of my said wife to all of my children except Benjamin Coate, to be equally divided share & share alike... And lastly I do hereby nominate and appoint Samuel Coate executor of this my last will and testament hereby authorizing and empowering him to adjust release and .................?????..........do hereby revoke all former wills by me made in testimony whereof I have herunto set my hand and seal this 16th Day of the fifth month in the year of our Lord one Thousand Eight Hundred and forty two. Signed and acknowleged by said Moses Coate as his last will and testatment in our presence and signed by us in his presence. Wm Dulin, Davis W. Hayes, Henry Michael. (C-107, E) One of the Jay Family discussion groups suggested that he was killed by Indians. I think this story is mixed up with Moses Coppock who was killed by Indians but I have no verification at this point in time. Moses and his wife were the ancestors of Amanda Ellen Pemberton Townsend Krell, the head of the Coate Coppock Association trying to prove the validity of the land lease in the first quarter of the 20th century. (C-390q)	COATE, Moses (I11619)
2905	Moses Coates is listed as a brother in law in the 1775 Chester Co. PA will of Abraham Musgrove naming his sister, Hannah Coates, wife of Moses and his sister's children Elizabeth and Hannah Coates who were under age 18.	MUSGROVE, Abraham (I1962)
2906	Moses traveled to Philadelphia, PA as a teenager to learn the carpentry (joiner) trade. He and his young bride who were married in Camden, Delaware, moved to Stark Co., Ohio in 1844. They moved often, in 1850 to Akron, OHio, 1853 to Wharyandotte Co., OH adn in 1875 to Kansas. In Kansas, he was a cattleman, a Justice of the Peace, a Baptist preacher, and a notary public. He was a member of the I.O.O.F. and a deacon and trustee of the Havensville Baptist Church. (C-1602, 1788)	COATES, Moses Clark (I14753)
2907	Moses willed his son, Benjamin, his plantation (in Charles Town) plus 21 acres purchased from David David when he died in 1761. This is the Benjamin Coates who offered a reward of 3 lbs for John Wilson, age 21, who had "absconded from hi" as in the PA Gazette on Jun 3, 1762. Benjamin was living in Charles town, Chester Co., PA at the time. (C-1755: #28750, C-1977) According to R.K. Montgomery, this family named Benjamin and Ann Longstreth Coats had children from 1758 till 1802. That would be over a 44 year period. Though possible, this is unlikely. I therefore suspect that the later children are by one of his sons, though this remains to be verified with actual records. It is probable that some of Benjamin and Ann's children moved to North Carolina. I say this because of their daughter Cicely. She is the only Cicely Coates I have found in this time period, and there was a Cicely Coates who married a William Willis in Rowan Co., NC in 1810 and whose bondsman was Abner Coates (brother or father??). The census records for N.C. include a William and a Benjamin that might be her brothers. This needs checked. Family tradition is that Cicely came from a family with a lot of girls in it and this one would certainly match that tradition.	COATES, Benjamin (I14754)
2908	Mote in his 1880 recollections said that Frederick was a close observer of men and things during his lifetime. He was taller than average with a quick step.	YOUNT, Frederick (I9223)
2909	Much can be learned about Ida Jane Harb Coate in her obituary. It verifies her parents and states she went to live in West Milton, Ohio in 1876 to stay with her mother's sister, Mrs. M.J. Pickering. "Here she became a member of the First Can Church and was a teacher in the West Milton Public schools." After her marriage in 1878 she joined his church, The Friends Church of West Milton. After they moved to Piqua she moved her letter to the Grace M.E. church where she was a faithful member for 25 years. "Her cheerfulness and her sweet patience have been a source of inspiration to all who have had the privilege of coming in contact with her. Forgetful of self, ever mindful of her family and those about her, a loving and faithful wife, a wonderful mother, her going leaves a void that can never be filled." My files also include a letter written in her own hand from Memphis, Tenn. dated Jan. 10 1920. She wrote to Mamie & All (Meaning her children) back in Piqua, Ohio. She was apparently helping "Margie" to get regain her health. (C-DOC) A third document, is a letter in Ida's handwriting dated just two months before her death, June 18, 1926. She was writing to her daughter Grace. She had gone to live in Hamilton in 1926 or so. (C-54) She said her health was improving, that she felt really good when she was lying down or sitting, but could not walk without being weak headed. Her heart was still too weak. Even so, her letter had grace and a beautiful turn of phrase clear to the end. (C-365)	HARB, Ida Jane (I11723)
2910	Much information can be gleaned about this family from a book by Algie I. Newlin entitled CHARITY COOK, A LIBERATED WOMAN, (Friends United Press, 1981). It is a biography of their daughter, Charity Cook, written and researched by ay professor. Around 1725, he and his family moved to the northern part of Maryland, Prince Georges Co., MD possibly living at Goose Creek MM, Cecil Co., MD first. Rachel's family lived in Prince George's County and they probably met there. John's only wife was Rachel Wells. Some sources list a second wife named Susannah but this has been disproven. The first half of John and Rachel's children were born in Prince George's County Maryland according to Newlin's book: [UL:Charity Cook, A Liberated Woman:UL]. John's family moved from 1733-35 to Frederick Co., VA and became members of the Friends Hopewell Monthly Meeting according to Lewis Wright. (C-588, 610) Possibly the confusion here comes from the changing names of territories. They lived near Monacacy River a few miles south of Frederick which could have been Prince George's Co., Maryland at the time, but is now known as Frederick Co., Maryland. The marriage records of John and Rachel Wells Wright can not be located, and it is thought by some that they were burned with the Hopewell meeting records. Marriage is therefore approximated as 1737, a year before their first child's birth. Both John and Rachel were appointed overseers of their respective male and female Monthly Meetings in Monocacy in 1745. They were charter members of the Fairfax MM. Rachel Wells Wright is a very interesting person of her own right. She was a Quaker minister. This involved travel and stamina on her part. She was a very sturdy woman attested by the trials she endured plus the fact that she had three of her children in just a two year period. What is even more astounding is that during this same two year period, John and Rachel Wright with 7 young children, William through John Jr. moved to the Cane Creek frontier, soon to become Orange County, North Carolina, which was over a distance of 300 miles. They received their letter to go to what was then Carvers Creek MM on 29-5-1749. They were charter members of of Cane Creek Monthly Meeting in Alamance Co., North Carolina when it was established 10m-1751. (C-575) Six more children were born to them in the Cane Creek area. All thirteen are listed in the Cane Creek records. John and Rachel often lived in new, rather unsecured settlement areas. It appears that they moved near Camden, Kershaw Co., South Carolina in 1761/1762 to the Wateree Meeting in Camden, South Carolina, later to become the Bush River Monthly Meeting area that they helped establish. (C-250) He sought a land patent for land on Beaverdam on Sep 17, 1769 with an addition joining it in 1786. Parts of both of this land he granted to his son in law Big John. Later, Big John and Rachel then sold it to their son, Wright Coate. According to Lewis Wright, John was a Ship Captain by trade. (C-610, 615) However, in his will, he bequeathed his shoemaking tools. Medlin's "Quaker Families of South Carolina and Georgia also states that John was a shoemaker by trade. He never tended to live on the ocean either, so I'd say the Ship Captain must apply to some other John Wright. (C-265, 866) John was also a member of the first and second Provincial Congress of S.C. (C-588) At an ederly age, he lived with his daughter, Susannah. He used to walk to and from the Quaker meetings. The family reunion in 1908 recalled that his daughter prevailed on him to take her horse on one occasion. When the meeting was over, he walked home. When he got there she asked him where the horse was and he replied "Dad, me Sue, I forgot her." According to this same family reunion provided by Julia Henry, it states that he and his wife had seven sons and ten daughters, 4 of whom apparently aren't in the Quaker records. He attended his grand-daughter, Sarah Cook's wedding in 1785. He wrote his will on 9/17/1789. He named his wife, his deceased son, Joseph and Joseph's son, John; John and his son; Jesse; Nathan and his son William; his son-in-law, Isaac Hollingsworth which he left his shoe-maker tools, cow and calf; Joab Brooks, son of James Brooks; Joseph Cook, his grandson and son of Isaac Cook; William Hollingsworth, grandson and son of Isaac Hollingsworth; son-in-law Isaac Cook and Isaac's daughter Rachel. The witnesses were Isaac Hollingsworth, John Coate and Charity Cook. His Executor was his son Joseph Wright. His will was written in Newberry Co., South Carolina. (C-866, 2082) His death was about 1790. He was living with his son-in-law, Isaac Hollingsworth's family, in the 1790 census. Before he died, he supposedly gathered all of his descendants which numbered 144 persons at the time. (C-945)	WRIGHT, John C. * (I15782)
2911	My African heritage of 1% appears to trace back to this couple, John Jameson and his wife, Jean Erwin through John's mother, Sarah Collins. All of the Collins cousin matches to my Mom that I have checked in the 10 plus range also have some Bantu heritage. They appear to be the ancestors of both my grandfather, William E. Clark's father and mother's side from an extensive study on Ancestry. The Jamesons previous to this John Jameson show no Bantu heritage. John lived in Augusta Co., VA by 1749. He purchased 280 acres on Jacksons River on 26 September 1760 in Augusta County, VA. This John is often stated to be the son of William Jameson and Sarah Collins in various family trees. I've founde by a Mr. Barber that says his birthdate was in 1713 in Philadelphia and where he lists him with the same parents but much different children all living in Pennsylvania at the times of their deaths, so I'm not sure if this John has the correct ancestry as listed. John Jameson was in the Augusta Co., VA records often as follows.

2912	My distinct impression is that Sarah had married sometime between 1816 when her father wrote his will and 1823 when his estate was settled as she is the only daughter who does not buy anything from the estate in her maiden name.	COATE, Sarah (I14847)
2913	My father fondly recalls memories of his cousin, Esther Wedebrook.	MCKINLEY, Esther (I8638)
2914	My father remembers that they moved from Middletown, OH to northern Indiana to work the onion fields for a summer and then moved back to Piqua, Ohio where Ben was born. He graduated from Trenton High School, in Trenton, Ohio during the depression. He then joined the CCC. When the depression was waning, he became a student at Ohio State University. He was a member of a Fraternity there. He completed two years at OSU before being drafted into World War II. Ben achieved the rank of Sergeant in the U.S. Army Air Corps. He was a member of the East Columbus Lion's Club and the National Kitchen Cabinet Association. He was the founder and owner of the Formitex Plastic Fabricators and Coate Floor Co. He is remembered by friends and family as a very hard worker, someone with a lot of spunk, who spoke up for the underdog and showed no prejudice for any of his fellow man. He was a great supporter of his church, St. Andrew Christian Church in Dublin, Ohio. (C-1779, Obit.)	COATE, Benjamin Dimmack (I11968)
2915	My father, Albert Edward Coate, remembers his great grandfather, Marcus Lafayette as a tall man. He often tells the story that he knew his ancestor named Marcus who was probably named after someone who respected and knew the original Mare Lafayette who helped found our nation. (C-43) He is living with his mother, Rhoda Coate, who was recently widowed and wife, Mary J. and daughters, Ida J. and Lena in the 1870 census in Union Twp. Miami Co., OH. His son Franklin was not listed in this household. I theorize that his son Franklin died before 1870 as he does not appear in any census record after his birth about 1862. Marcus was a clerk in a Dry Goods store in this census. He was living with his daughter, Lena and son-in-law, Amos Coffman in Preble Co., Ohio by the year 1900. He was a mail carrier in that year. (C-97)	HARB, Marquis Lafayette * (I11714)
2916	My Mom has quite a few triangulated cousins at my Heritage representing this ancestral couple. Here is an example. Chromosome 17 Genomic position: 60383020 - 66446803 RSID: rs117717789 - rs2302782 Segment size: 8.2 cM Number of SNPs: 2,944	COLQUHOUN, Sir John 1st Baronett of Nova Scotia Canada 18th Laird of Colquhoun 16th of Luss (I10220)
2917	My mother has a DNA match with a cousin who descends through this John.	EVANS, John (I18448)
2918	My mother has many autosomal triangulations that include a descendant of this Elizabeth Calhoon.	CALHOON, Elizabeth (I18007)
2919	My mother, Marcena Clark Coate, was so close to her Uncle Lux that when he died, she cried for a solid day. She still remembers him with great fondness.	SCHUTZLER, Lux (I12240)
2920	My parents have this couple in common in their ancestry. Mom descends from their daughter Alice and my Dad descends from their son John. Linda Coate	DE WARREN, William (I12667)
2921	My source, C-611, gives John's birth place as North Carolina. John received 200 acres of land in Berkley Co., SC in his father's will adjoining the plantation where his father had resided. (C-169) John moved from SC to Waynesville, Ohio i. He was a dealer in merchandise. He and his family moved to Miami Co., Ohio in 1808. As a merchandiser, he made two trips by wagon and 8 horse team to Baltimore along with his son Walter Denny Jay. (C-800) He and 9 of his 11 children lived in surrounding lands known as the "Jay Settlement". They founded the first Quaker friends in Ohio and the church was still active in 1958. He is the only Jay mentioned in "Newberry Annals" and the article was so interesting that I'm transcribing it here. "John Jay merits special mention, the removal of whom and family was more loss to Newberry than that of any other. He was married during the Revolution, and his seven sons and three daughters were born and, in part, married there. Courage, industry, enterprise and thrift were characteristics of the entire family. He and his sons were remarkable for rearing and training horses. No other seven brothers drove as many fair horse teams as they; could crack their whips as loud and haul as heavy loads. In these early days grain, flour, pork and merchandise were transported on wagons and often long trips had to be made. Their names were Jesse, Samuel, Walt D. (always called Denny), Thomas, John, William and James. All lived to advanced age except Thomas, who died soon after the birth of his fourth child. Five of them lived on lands adjoining and reared such families that they long had the name of the 'Jay Settlement,' a name that carried with it the idea of industry, enterprise, success and independent fortune, coupled with such honesty, probity and morality as made them a blessing to the country. John, the father, died in their midst in or about 1828, having lived to see his good example followed by both his sons and daughters, all retaining their rights in church and some being pre-eminent in it." (C-296) This family can also easily be found in Hinshaw's Quaker records. (C-1017) He is likely the John Jay who lived in Newberry Co., SC in the 1800 census with 1 son under ten, 2 between 16-26, 2 between 16-26, 1 between 26-45, 2 daughters under 10, 1 between 16-26, 1 wife between 26-45. (C-922) He had moved to Miami Co., OH before 1808. On Oct 22, 1808 he and his single sons, William and James, his wife and daughters Lyddia and Jane were received on certificate from Miami MM in West Branch MM also in Miami Co., Ohio He was in the deed records in 1813 in Monroe Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in 1813, 1816, and 1827. He probably is the John who purchased land in Union and Spring Creek Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in 1828, a year before he died. He left a will in 1829 in Miami Co., Ohio which was probated that same year. (C-1025)	JAY, John (I15786)
2922	My Susanah and probably Nancy buried in the same cemetery as her, are likely descended from the same ancestors as this John P. , S. or I. Hunter of Stokes Co., NC. I say this because my mother triangulates with 2 cousins descended from John with cM sizes of 7, 6+ and 3.9 between them. In 1790 there are 2 John Hunters. One has 3 males over age 16, 1 under age 16 and 2 females. The other is over age 16 with only himself in the census.

He is living near Thomas and Benjamin. David, Thomas and Benjamin could be accounted for as sons of John Hunter and Rachel Coleman. John Hunter married to Rhoda Speer is their son also. Here he probably is in the 1850 census.

2923	My Uncle has a 20 cM match on chromosome 13 with T572311 John Solon, both descendants of this Susannah Jay. Laurie Christine Rasch's application to the DAR gives Susannah's birth date as Nov. 19 1778. This Nov. 19, 1778 birth date is alsharles Coppock's lineage in the Krell collection. It is listed elsewhere as Dec. 1778, 12/22/1778 (C-813, 864, 1430), 11/31/1778 (C-1460) or Nov. 20, 1778 (C-2109). The Nov. 19 date is based correctly upon her burial info which states that she was 80 years, 6 months and 25 days old when she died on Jun 14, 1859. The State of Ohio, Vital Records confirmed this as it stated that her birth date is Nov. 19, 1778 as recorded in a genealogy chart they prepared in 1962 for Horace Coppock as provided by Annie Natetelli Waloszek. She is listed 11th in her father's will. She joined the Quakers in South Carolina. (C-839, 2109) Her father, William, is also confirmed in Hinshaw when she married Benjamin Coppock.	JAY, Susannah (I11879)
2924	My Uncle on my father's side has 2 small triangulations with descendants of Abigail Maverick that I've found so far. They are so small at this distance in time that it currently cannot be used as DNA proof of descent. Possibly in the future, they will refine this.	MAVERICK, Abigail * (I10391)
2925	My Uncle on my father's side has 3 small triangulations that I've found so far that match him, a descendant of Joseph and Jane Coppock and descendants of this Isaac Allerton with each other. These triangulations are very small back to this period of time but they had supporting Q factors on Gedmatch as well as many other triangulations with descendants to suggest that as a DNA understanding is mathematically refined it will continue to prove that they are our ancestors. Isaac was a tailor of London, England when he married in Leiden, Holland in a community of Separatists. Though his parentage is theorized to be Edward and Rose Allerton of London, an actual record of Isaac's apprenticeship available in Wikipedia shows his father to be Bartholomew Allerton of Suffolk, England. This is supported by a couple records in the colonies where Isaac states he was born in Suffolk Co., England. The following article at http://elizabethqueenseaswann.com/HISTORY/Separatists_Puritans_Leiden_Netherlands_Religious_Refugees.html is of import about the Separatists. "Many of the Separatists originally came from Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. William Brewster was one of them. It is believed that Brewster founded a Separatist church in his family home, Scrooby Manor. Brewster strongly influenced a local young man, William Bradford. Bradford’s diary, Of Plimoth Plantation, is an account of his group’s story, including their persecution in England which made it impossible for them to lead a peaceful life. Many councils in England today, still persecute planning dissidents, those who do not conform and will not pay what they consider to be outrageous bribes and taxes. One notable council is Wealden in Sussex, though other heavy handed local authorities are frequently labeled Gestapo Councils by the media. Sadly, the USA is no longer the land of the free, with many of their agencies, FBI, Homeland Security, Inland Revenue Services, making life difficult for their citizens. History repeats itself. EMIGRATION John Smyth, the minister of different Separatist group from Gainsborough, decided that he and his congregation would emigrate in pursuit of freedom of religion. However, leaving England without permission was punishable, and so they quietly slipped away from Gainsborough and re-emerged in Amsterdam. The Scrooby congregation also chanced an escape to the Netherlands via Boston, Lincolnshire. During the Autumn of 1607 they secretly traveled to Scotia Creek, near Boston, where they had chartered a boat to smuggle them out of the country. To their horror, they soon found out that they had been betrayed by the captain. They were seized and imprisoned in Boston. After a month of captivity, most of them were released. Despite this, the Scrooby Separatists were not deterred. The next year, they travelled North to board a ship in Immingham. And once again, they were pursued. Though this time, the men succeeded in fleeing to the Netherlands. The women and children were aboard a different boat, which was seized. In the end, they were released and then finally reunited in Amsterdam. LEIDEN, THE NETHERLANDS At the time of the Separatists’ arrival in the Netherlands, the so-called Twelve Years’ Truce had just been signed. The truce made a temporary end to the hostilities between Spain and the Netherlands, and marked the start of a relatively calm period. Following a disagreement with the John Smyth group, the Scrooby group moved from Amsterdam to Leiden. Their pastor, John Robinson, sent a message to Leiden, requesting to admit some hundred men and women into the city. The city authorities agreed to welcome them, on the condition that they would abide by the rules. They started a new life in the tolerant city of Leiden. They remained a close-knit community, and many of the group lived together, married among themselves and worked together. Many of them found a job in the flourishing textile industry. Their children were baptised at the Pieterskerk, the Hooglandse Kerk or the Vrouwekerk, as they were not permitted to have a church building of their own. They would often gather at John Robinson’s house, located next to the Pieterskerk. Life in Leiden was tough for the Separatists. They came from rural England and were not accustomed to the urban setting they found themselves in. Many of them found it hard to adjust to the changes in their work, and earned very little. The parents among them also worried about their children losing touch with their English roots under the influence of the Dutch. The Pilgrims carried over a number of customs from Leiden. One of these customs is civil marriage. In the early days, they had no-one who could conduct church weddings, so civil marriage was a good alternative. They also adopted Leiden’s administrative structure of small, self-regulatory districts. Last but not least, it is believed that the first Thanksgiving was inspired by the annual “Leidens Ontzet” celebration. THE TWELVE YEAR ITCH After some 12 years, close to the end of the Twelve Years’ Truce, a number of Separatists were determined it was time to move again. They contacted the congregation which had remained in England, and decided they would all travel to Virginia, America to set up a new community there. They would found a new town where they could live and practice their religion as they wished. They realized it would be an expensive journey. In order to raise the money they needed, the Separatists made a deal with the Virginia Company, a business with the objective to establish colonies in North America. The Company needed people to populate the colonies and send them trading goods. The Separatists would work hard to pay back the money invested by the Company."	ALLERTON, Isaac (I6756)
2926	My Uncle Richard was a most creative soul. He was an actor, playwright, and author throughout his adulthood. He began his love in the drama field as a young child when his mother would take him around to perform in minstrel shows. She would play the piano and he would sing and dance. He later went to acting school and was considered their most promising student. He was once the lead in a Broadway play but otherwise had less prominent parts. He also wrote screenplays that were considered by major Actors at the time. He many fascinating, successful actresses and actors as friends. He was the kind of Uncle we would all brag about. He married his childhood friend, Betty Scheibert. They were an exemplary couple whose love seemed to grow stronger through the years. They lived in New York City for most of their adult lives. Betty was a graphic artist for industrial applications. She had had polio as a child. It left her crippled. It didn't stop her from doing anything. Uncle Richard told me often about the time she climbed up a cliff at Highbanks, a park here in Columbus when they were both going to Ohio State University. He was so proud of her. They had a daughter, Jennifer, who became a famous photographer for the March of Dimes. She had the honor of photographing two of our American President's families in the Whitehouse in her career. Uncle Richard was a sensitive soul called into service in the Korean War. He had many after-effects from that service that took him years to heal from. He was a profuse writer to his wife, Betty. He believed these letters were the basis for the long-running T.V. show called "Mash". His silhouette was captured by a photographer in the doorway of a hut in this war that was used by the AP press and published in many national papers. He used this photo as the front cover of an autobiography he published about him and his wife, their families, and the town they grew up in. It's called "The Unidentified Soldier in the USO Poster".

2927	Nancy and her husband were quite active on the Underground Railroad, a pattern she had picked up from her father's activity in same. (CL-487)	GLENN, Nancy Julia Ann (I11826)
2928	Nancy Coats' father believed this Henry Jr. to be the son of Henry and Molly Pitts. He would be the son that would account for 1 son under age 16 in Henry's 1790 census record. He is in the following Davenport record for Newberry Coh Carolina. "28Jul1803 - Probate Estate of Francis Davenport, Sr., late of Newberry County, Decd. Buyers at Public Sale Mary Davenport, James Davenport, William Davenport, Isaac Davenport, Stephen Waldrop, John Brooks, Henry Coate, Jr., Aaron Inman, John Fletcher, Samuel Beeks, Thomas Gary, Stephen Herndon, Rebecca Turner, Elisha Brooks, George Goggans, Thomas Gilbert, David Turner, and Ezekiel Waldrop.

2929	Nancy had children by both marriages according to Hinshaw's Quaker encyclopedia.	FINNEY, Nancy (I14512)
2930	Nancy Martin was a Mormon pioneer, traveling from Council Bluffs, NE, departing there on July 5, 1849, going to SLC, Utah. She traveled with the Allen Taylor Company, which was a wagon company, not a handcart company. She was married to an Absalom Perkins, and they had 13 children from 1816 thru 1836. She died in 1856 in SLC. She is descended from Benjamin Martin and Elizabeth Lindsey. I have found quite a few of our Coate line that were LDS and went west during the Nauvoo exodus."	MARTIN, Nancy (I20301)
2931	Nancy might possibly be the Ann Coats who married Wills McCool on Mar 29, 1810 in Miami Co., Ohio if the deed takes place before the end of March. (C-1239, 1562)	COATE, Nancy Ann (I13959)
2932	Nancy Tharp was living and marrying in Gallia Co., Ohio about the same time as my ancestor Mary Polly Tharp. It is not known how they are related at this point, though I definitely suspect a relationship. Our current theory is thats the daughter of a James Tharp that shows up in Indiana in the 1830s or is the sister to Mary and youngest daughter of Joseph and (Elcy) Tharp. If the second is true, then Nancy and her husband would be first cousins. (CL-489) It should be noted that the Tharps and Calhouns both came from Iredell Co., NC to Gallia Co., Ohio (CL-489)	THARP, Nancy (I8096)
2933	Nancy was listed as Emmy in her father's estate papers, wife of John McCarley. John McCarley when he married Nancy Ann in 1813 records, was then listed as Ann. Obviously, she went by a couple different names and must have not liked theancy all that much. (CL-493E)	GLENN, Nancy Ann (I7944)
2934	Nancy was no longer living at home in 1820. If Nancy never married it is possible she's the Nancy Clark in the 1850 census living in Cabell Co., VA with James and Margaret Carrol. She was listed as age 50, b. KY and a pauper. (CL-339	CLARK, Nancy (I6741)
2935	Nancy was not the mother of Sion's children. She was his second wife and widow from Kemper Co., MS. (C-2270E)	FOSTER, Nancy (I8454)
2936	Nathan received permission from Bush River MM, SC to go to Miami MM, OH on Aug 31, 1805. Nathan migrated to Ohio with four of his brothers and their families. He is listed in the 1816 tax lists for Miami Co., Ohio. He apparently soldn 1818 in Concord Twp., Miami Co., Ohio. He never married. (C-106,109, 296, 1025, 1546)	HOLLINGSWORTH, Nathan (I178)
2937	Nathan was married out of the order in 1778 and is in the Bush River MM records for that event on 1778,7,25. He got a certificate to Hopewell in 1793. His wife's name has been listed as Nancy, Elizabeth and Sarah Jay. It is not known fe which one he was actually married to. It is still believed that he only had one marriage. (C-2034) He is likely the Nathan Write listed in the 1790 census for the 96th District, Newberry Co., SC living in the same area as Big John Coats (p. 79). He was over 16, had 2 sons under 16 and 4 females in the household.	WRIGHT, Nathan (I12139)
2938	Nathaniel moved to Elizabethtown, New Jersy in 1665. Most of his branch of the family spelled their name with an "O". (F-410)	BUNNELL, Nathaniel (I11694)
2939	Nathaniel was a planter by trade. Beginning with "Hammond's Forest", he gained many lands and slaves as his wealth grew in his lifetime. He left a will in 1762 in Anne Arundel Co., MD in vol. 31, p. 677.	HAMMOND, Nathan (I5691)
2940	Nathaniel was a quaker like his parents as were most of his siblings. (C-2272)	YARWOOD, Nathaniel (I1435)
2941	Nathaniel was the Speaker of the House of Assembly from 1829-1835, as well as J.P. and Colonel of the Militia. (F-458, 604) There is a story in the genealogical magazines of Barbados that goes like this. At an election party, a youdier, Lieutenant John Cage was, in jest, hit on the back by a young Mr. Samuel Forte. A fight followed. Lieutenant Cage was not forgiving and demanded that a duel be held in lieu of an apology. Mr. Forte of "good family and high social position" accepted the duel and shot Cage dead. When the military tried to arrest him, he was taken into hiding by "Aunt Peg" of General William's family at the Welchman Hall plantation. He is said to have escaped the island after receiving "Aunt Peg's" help and lived the rest of his life abroad. This particular story coined the phrase "AS DEAD AS CAGE". (F-162) However, a cousin in New Zeland has it handed down from his great grandfather's genealogy (Claude Forte) that this actually occurred to the above Nathaniel Weekes Forte.... and he obviously still went on to become Speaker of the House. The pistols used in the duel are still in possession of the family in New Zealand. Nigel Forte, gr.grandson of the above Claude does not know where he got the information that the duel happened to Nathaniel instead. It's really still in question.

2945	Neither Edith or a husband were mentioned in the 1783 Indenture where Barzilla paid all of his other sisters and their spouses for land he'd received from his father through his brothers' demise. That suggests to me that she and her possiusband had probably died before 1783. One internet source however gives her death date as after 1800 with no spouse listed. Some sources like Comley's book list her spouse as Michael Newbold. However, in most sources Michael is listed with other spouses besides an Edith.	COATE, Edith (I5)

COPPOCK, Moses (I13669)

2904

Moses birth date is 9m 5d 1768 in Hinshaw's Encyclopedia. Moses purchased land in Newberry Co., SC on July 19, 1796 from John Perry. (C-908) He was in the 1800 Newberry Co. Census records listed as Mose Coates between the ages of 26 andis wife was between the ages of 16 and 26. He had one son and two daughters under age ten. Moses and brother, Samuel went on a prospecting tour of Newton Twp., Union County, Ohio before they moved and were joined by their father Marmaduke. (C-27e) Moses sold his land in Newberry on Jan. 20, 1804 to Moses Kelly.

Moses Coate and family officially removed to the Miami MM, Waynesville in Ohio with letter dated 2/25/1804. They purchased 161.24 acres in Range 5, Township 6, Section 5 in the Southwest Quarter of Union Township on Sept. 25, 1804. (C-55, 100, 253k, 556) They paid $1.61 in taxes on this property according to the 1810 Tax Duplicates (C-61b). He is also in the 1827 and 1835 tax lists for Union Twp., Miami Co., OH living next to his probable son, Joseph. (E)

In the 1820 census, Moses and family are living in Union Twp., Miami County, Ohio with the following numbers of persons in their home: 4 Males under 10, 1 between 10-16, 1 between 16-18, 2 between 26-45, 1 over 45 and 1 female between 10-16, 1 between 16-26, 1 between 26-45 and 1 over 45. Moses is living next to his brother Samuel in this census. It appears that Moses left the Quaker Church, as there is a Moses and Betsy Coats and possible daughter-in-law, Margaret Coats (wife of son William Coate) who were charter members of the Greenville Creek Church of Christ on Aug. 9, 1843. If this record belongs to this Moses, he was disowned for immoral conduct by the Church of Christ at an unknown later date.

Moses left a will dated the 16th day, 5th mo, 1842 in Miami County as transcribed herein. "In the name of the Benevolent Father of all..I Moses Coate of Union Township in the Count of Miami and State of Ohio do make and publish this my last will and Testament. First it is my will that my just debts and all charges be paid out of my Estate. I give and devise all the (residue) of my estate to Elizabeth Coate my wife both real and personal during her natural life except what is hereinafter devised. I give and devise to Sarah Jean Coate my grand Daughter one good bed & beding such as is common and also one Cow & calf when she shall arrive at the years of Eighteen. 4th I give and devise at the decease of my said wife all my real estate to my son Benjamin Coate..his heirs and assigns forever and that the said Benjamin Coate shall pay to my son Jesse Coate the sum of fifty dollars in a measurable time after the decease of my wife. 5th I give and devise all the reamining goods chattles & personal property whatsover there may be at the decease of my said wife to all of my children except Benjamin Coate, to be equally divided share & share alike... And lastly I do hereby nominate and appoint Samuel Coate executor of this my last will and testament hereby authorizing and empowering him to adjust release and .................?????..........do hereby revoke all former wills by me made in testimony whereof I have herunto set my hand and seal this 16th Day of the fifth month in the year of our Lord one Thousand Eight Hundred and forty two. Signed and acknowleged by said Moses Coate as his last will and testatment in our presence and signed by us in his presence. Wm Dulin, Davis W. Hayes, Henry Michael. (C-107, E) One of the Jay Family discussion groups suggested that he was killed by Indians. I think this story is mixed up with Moses Coppock who was killed by Indians but I have no verification at this point in time.

Moses and his wife were the ancestors of Amanda Ellen Pemberton Townsend Krell, the head of the Coate Coppock Association trying to prove the validity of the land lease in the first quarter of the 20th century. (C-390q)

Moses Coates is listed as a brother in law in the 1775 Chester Co. PA will of Abraham Musgrove naming his sister, Hannah Coates, wife of Moses and his sister's children Elizabeth and Hannah Coates who were under age 18.

Moses traveled to Philadelphia, PA as a teenager to learn the carpentry (joiner) trade. He and his young bride who were married in Camden, Delaware, moved to Stark Co., Ohio in 1844. They moved often, in 1850 to Akron, OHio, 1853 to Wharyandotte Co., OH adn in 1875 to Kansas. In Kansas, he was a cattleman, a Justice of the Peace, a Baptist preacher, and a notary public. He was a member of the I.O.O.F. and a deacon and trustee of the Havensville Baptist Church. (C-1602, 1788)

COATES, Moses Clark (I14753)

2907

Moses willed his son, Benjamin, his plantation (in Charles Town) plus 21 acres purchased from David David when he died in 1761. This is the Benjamin Coates who offered a reward of 3 lbs for John Wilson, age 21, who had "absconded from hi" as in the PA Gazette on Jun 3, 1762. Benjamin was living in Charles town, Chester Co., PA at the time. (C-1755: #28750, C-1977) According to R.K. Montgomery, this family named Benjamin and Ann Longstreth Coats had children from 1758 till 1802. That would be over a 44 year period. Though possible, this is unlikely. I therefore suspect that the later children are by one of his sons, though this remains to be verified with actual records.

It is probable that some of Benjamin and Ann's children moved to North Carolina. I say this because of their daughter Cicely. She is the only Cicely Coates I have found in this time period, and there was a Cicely Coates who married a William Willis in Rowan Co., NC in 1810 and whose bondsman was Abner Coates (brother or father??). The census records for N.C. include a William and a Benjamin that might be her brothers. This needs checked. Family tradition is that Cicely came from a family with a lot of girls in it and this one would certainly match that tradition.

Much can be learned about Ida Jane Harb Coate in her obituary. It verifies her parents and states she went to live in West Milton, Ohio in 1876 to stay with her mother's sister, Mrs. M.J. Pickering. "Here she became a member of the First Can Church and was a teacher in the West Milton Public schools." After her marriage in 1878 she joined his church, The Friends Church of West Milton. After they moved to Piqua she moved her letter to the Grace M.E. church where she was a faithful member for 25 years. "Her cheerfulness and her sweet patience have been a source of inspiration to all who have had the privilege of coming in contact with her. Forgetful of self, ever mindful of her family and those about her, a loving and faithful wife, a wonderful mother, her going leaves a void that can never be filled."

My files also include a letter written in her own hand from Memphis, Tenn. dated Jan. 10 1920. She wrote to Mamie & All (Meaning her children) back in Piqua, Ohio. She was apparently helping "Margie" to get regain her health. (C-DOC)

A third document, is a letter in Ida's handwriting dated just two months before her death, June 18, 1926. She was writing to her daughter Grace. She had gone to live in Hamilton in 1926 or so. (C-54) She said her health was improving, that she felt really good when she was lying down or sitting, but could not walk without being weak headed. Her heart was still too weak. Even so, her letter had grace and a beautiful turn of phrase clear to the end. (C-365)

HARB, Ida Jane (I11723)

Much information can be gleaned about this family from a book by Algie I. Newlin entitled CHARITY COOK, A LIBERATED WOMAN, (Friends United Press, 1981). It is a biography of their daughter, Charity Cook, written and researched by ay professor.

Around 1725, he and his family moved to the northern part of Maryland, Prince Georges Co., MD possibly living at Goose Creek MM, Cecil Co., MD first. Rachel's family lived in Prince George's County and they probably met there. John's only wife was Rachel Wells. Some sources list a second wife named Susannah but this has been disproven. The first half of John and Rachel's children were born in Prince George's County Maryland according to Newlin's book: [UL:Charity Cook, A Liberated Woman:UL].

John's family moved from 1733-35 to Frederick Co., VA and became members of the Friends Hopewell Monthly Meeting according to Lewis Wright. (C-588, 610) Possibly the confusion here comes from the changing names of territories. They lived near Monacacy River a few miles south of Frederick which could have been Prince George's Co., Maryland at the time, but is now known as Frederick Co., Maryland. The marriage records of John and Rachel Wells Wright can not be located, and it is thought by some that they were burned with the Hopewell meeting records. Marriage is therefore approximated as 1737, a year before their first child's birth.

Both John and Rachel were appointed overseers of their respective male and female Monthly Meetings in Monocacy in 1745. They were charter members of the Fairfax MM.

Rachel Wells Wright is a very interesting person of her own right. She was a Quaker minister. This involved travel and stamina on her part. She was a very sturdy woman attested by the trials she endured plus the fact that she had three of her children in just a two year period.

What is even more astounding is that during this same two year period, John and Rachel Wright with 7 young children, William through John Jr. moved to the Cane Creek frontier, soon to become Orange County, North Carolina, which was over a distance of 300 miles. They received their letter to go to what was then Carvers Creek MM on 29-5-1749. They were charter members of of Cane Creek Monthly Meeting in Alamance Co., North Carolina when it was established 10m-1751. (C-575) Six more children were born to them in the Cane Creek area. All thirteen are listed in the Cane Creek records.

John and Rachel often lived in new, rather unsecured settlement areas. It appears that they moved near Camden, Kershaw Co., South Carolina in 1761/1762 to the Wateree Meeting in Camden, South Carolina, later to become the Bush River Monthly Meeting area that they helped establish. (C-250) He sought a land patent for land on Beaverdam on Sep 17, 1769 with an addition joining it in 1786. Parts of both of this land he granted to his son in law Big John. Later, Big John and Rachel then sold it to their son, Wright Coate.

According to Lewis Wright, John was a Ship Captain by trade. (C-610, 615) However, in his will, he bequeathed his shoemaking tools. Medlin's "Quaker Families of South Carolina and Georgia also states that John was a shoemaker by trade. He never tended to live on the ocean either, so I'd say the Ship Captain must apply to some other John Wright. (C-265, 866) John was also a member of the first and second Provincial Congress of S.C. (C-588)

At an ederly age, he lived with his daughter, Susannah. He used to walk to and from the Quaker meetings. The family reunion in 1908 recalled that his daughter prevailed on him to take her horse on one occasion. When the meeting was over, he walked home. When he got there she asked him where the horse was and he replied "Dad, me Sue, I forgot her."

According to this same family reunion provided by Julia Henry, it states that he and his wife had seven sons and ten daughters, 4 of whom apparently aren't in the Quaker records. He attended his grand-daughter, Sarah Cook's wedding in 1785.

He wrote his will on 9/17/1789. He named his wife, his deceased son, Joseph and Joseph's son, John; John and his son; Jesse; Nathan and his son William; his son-in-law, Isaac Hollingsworth which he left his shoe-maker tools, cow and calf; Joab Brooks, son of James Brooks; Joseph Cook, his grandson and son of Isaac Cook; William Hollingsworth, grandson and son of Isaac Hollingsworth; son-in-law Isaac Cook and Isaac's daughter Rachel. The witnesses were Isaac Hollingsworth, John Coate and Charity Cook. His Executor was his son Joseph Wright. His will was written in Newberry Co., South Carolina. (C-866, 2082)

His death was about 1790. He was living with his son-in-law, Isaac Hollingsworth's family, in the 1790 census. Before he died, he supposedly gathered all of his descendants which numbered 144 persons at the time. (C-945)

My African heritage of 1% appears to trace back to this couple, John Jameson and his wife, Jean Erwin through John's mother, Sarah Collins. All of the Collins cousin matches to my Mom that I have checked in the 10 plus range also have some Bantu heritage. They appear to be the ancestors of both my grandfather, William E. Clark's father and mother's side from an extensive study on Ancestry. The Jamesons previous to this John Jameson show no Bantu heritage.

John lived in Augusta Co., VA by 1749. He purchased 280 acres on Jacksons River on 26 September 1760 in Augusta County, VA. This John is often stated to be the son of William Jameson and Sarah Collins in various family trees. I've founde by a Mr. Barber that says his birthdate was in 1713 in Philadelphia and where he lists him with the same parents but much different children all living in Pennsylvania at the times of their deaths, so I'm not sure if this John has the correct ancestry as listed.

John Jameson was in the Augusta Co., VA records often as follows.

My distinct impression is that Sarah had married sometime between 1816 when her father wrote his will and 1823 when his estate was settled as she is the only daughter who does not buy anything from the estate in her maiden name.

COATE, Sarah (I14847)

My father fondly recalls memories of his cousin, Esther Wedebrook.

MCKINLEY, Esther (I8638)

2914

My father remembers that they moved from Middletown, OH to northern Indiana to work the onion fields for a summer and then moved back to Piqua, Ohio where Ben was born.

He graduated from Trenton High School, in Trenton, Ohio during the depression. He then joined the CCC. When the depression was waning, he became a student at Ohio State University. He was a member of a Fraternity there. He completed two years at OSU before being drafted into World War II. Ben achieved the rank of Sergeant in the U.S. Army Air Corps. He was a member of the East Columbus Lion's Club and the National Kitchen Cabinet Association. He was the founder and owner of the Formitex Plastic Fabricators and Coate Floor Co.

He is remembered by friends and family as a very hard worker, someone with a lot of spunk, who spoke up for the underdog and showed no prejudice for any of his fellow man. He was a great supporter of his church, St. Andrew Christian Church in Dublin, Ohio. (C-1779, Obit.)

COATE, Benjamin Dimmack (I11968)

My father, Albert Edward Coate, remembers his great grandfather, Marcus Lafayette as a tall man. He often tells the story that he knew his ancestor named Marcus who was probably named after someone who respected and knew the original Mare Lafayette who helped found our nation. (C-43) He is living with his mother, Rhoda Coate, who was recently widowed and wife, Mary J. and daughters, Ida J. and Lena in the 1870 census in Union Twp. Miami Co., OH. His son Franklin was not listed in this household. I theorize that his son Franklin died before 1870 as he does not appear in any census record after his birth about 1862. Marcus was a clerk in a Dry Goods store in this census. He was living with his daughter, Lena and son-in-law, Amos Coffman in Preble Co., Ohio by the year 1900. He was a mail carrier in that year.

My source, C-611, gives John's birth place as North Carolina. John received 200 acres of land in Berkley Co., SC in his father's will adjoining the plantation where his father had resided. (C-169) John moved from SC to Waynesville, Ohio i. He was a dealer in merchandise. He and his family moved to Miami Co., Ohio in 1808. As a merchandiser, he made two trips by wagon and 8 horse team to Baltimore along with his son Walter Denny Jay. (C-800) He and 9 of his 11 children lived in surrounding lands known as the "Jay Settlement". They founded the first Quaker friends in Ohio and the church was still active in 1958. He is the only Jay mentioned in "Newberry Annals" and the article was so interesting that I'm transcribing it here. "John Jay merits special mention, the removal of whom and family was more loss to Newberry than that of any other.

He was married during the Revolution, and his seven sons and three daughters were born and, in part, married there. Courage, industry, enterprise and thrift were characteristics of the entire family. He and his sons were remarkable for rearing and training horses. No other seven brothers drove as many fair horse teams as they; could crack their whips as loud and haul as heavy loads. In these early days grain, flour, pork and merchandise were transported on wagons and often long trips had to be made. Their names were Jesse, Samuel, Walt D. (always called Denny), Thomas, John, William and James. All lived to advanced age except Thomas, who died soon after the birth of his fourth child. Five of them lived on lands adjoining and reared such families that they long had the name of the 'Jay Settlement,' a name that carried with it the idea of industry, enterprise, success and independent fortune, coupled with such honesty, probity and morality as made them a blessing to the country.

John, the father, died in their midst in or about 1828, having lived to see his good example followed by both his sons and daughters, all retaining their rights in church and some being pre-eminent in it." (C-296) This family can also easily be found in Hinshaw's Quaker records. (C-1017)

He is likely the John Jay who lived in Newberry Co., SC in the 1800 census with 1 son under ten, 2 between 16-26, 2 between 16-26, 1 between 26-45, 2 daughters under 10, 1 between 16-26, 1 wife between 26-45. (C-922) He had moved to Miami Co., OH before 1808.

On Oct 22, 1808 he and his single sons, William and James, his wife and daughters Lyddia and Jane were received on certificate from Miami MM in West Branch MM also in Miami Co., Ohio He was in the deed records in 1813 in Monroe Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in 1813, 1816, and 1827. He probably is the John who purchased land in Union and Spring Creek Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in 1828, a year before he died. He left a will in 1829 in Miami Co., Ohio which was probated that same year. (C-1025)

JAY, John (I15786)

My Susanah and probably Nancy buried in the same cemetery as her, are likely descended from the same ancestors as this John P. , S. or I. Hunter of Stokes Co., NC. I say this because my mother triangulates with 2 cousins descended from John with cM sizes of 7, 6+ and 3.9 between them.

In 1790 there are 2 John Hunters. One has 3 males over age 16, 1 under age 16 and 2 females. The other is over age 16 with only himself in the census.

There is also an older David than this in Stokes in 1790 who had a son under age 16. He is living near Thomas and Benjamin. David, Thomas and Benjamin could be accounted for as sons of John Hunter and Rachel Coleman. John Hunter married to Rhoda Speer is their son also.

Here he probably is in the 1850 census.

My Uncle has a 20 cM match on chromosome 13 with T572311 John Solon, both descendants of this Susannah Jay. Laurie Christine Rasch's application to the DAR gives Susannah's birth date as Nov. 19 1778. This Nov. 19, 1778 birth date is alsharles Coppock's lineage in the Krell collection. It is listed elsewhere as Dec. 1778, 12/22/1778 (C-813, 864, 1430), 11/31/1778 (C-1460) or Nov. 20, 1778 (C-2109). The Nov. 19 date is based correctly upon her burial info which states that she was 80 years, 6 months and 25 days old when she died on Jun 14, 1859. The State of Ohio, Vital Records confirmed this as it stated that her birth date is Nov. 19, 1778 as recorded in a genealogy chart they prepared in 1962 for Horace Coppock as provided by Annie Natetelli Waloszek. She is listed 11th in her father's will. She joined the Quakers in South Carolina. (C-839, 2109) Her father, William, is also confirmed in Hinshaw when she married Benjamin Coppock.

JAY, Susannah (I11879)

My Uncle on my father's side has 2 small triangulations with descendants of Abigail Maverick that I've found so far. They are so small at this distance in time that it currently cannot be used as DNA proof of descent. Possibly in the future, they will refine this.

MAVERICK, Abigail * (I10391)

2925

My Uncle on my father's side has 3 small triangulations that I've found so far that match him, a descendant of Joseph and Jane Coppock and descendants of this Isaac Allerton with each other. These triangulations are very small back to this period of time but they had supporting Q factors on Gedmatch as well as many other triangulations with descendants to suggest that as a DNA understanding is mathematically refined it will continue to prove that they are our ancestors.

Isaac was a tailor of London, England when he married in Leiden, Holland in a community of Separatists. Though his parentage is theorized to be Edward and Rose Allerton of London, an actual record of Isaac's apprenticeship available in Wikipedia shows his father to be Bartholomew Allerton of Suffolk, England. This is supported by a couple records in the colonies where Isaac states he was born in Suffolk Co., England.

The following article at http://elizabethqueenseaswann.com/HISTORY/Separatists_Puritans_Leiden_Netherlands_Religious_Refugees.html
is of import about the Separatists.
"Many of the Separatists originally came from Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. William Brewster was one of them. It is believed that Brewster founded a Separatist church in his family home, Scrooby Manor. Brewster strongly influenced a local young man, William Bradford. Bradford’s diary, Of Plimoth Plantation, is an account of his group’s story, including their persecution in England which made it impossible for them to lead a peaceful life.

Many councils in England today, still persecute planning dissidents, those who do not conform and will not pay what they consider to be outrageous bribes and taxes. One notable council is Wealden in Sussex, though other heavy handed local authorities are frequently labeled Gestapo Councils by the media. Sadly, the USA is no longer the land of the free, with many of their agencies, FBI, Homeland Security, Inland Revenue Services, making life difficult for their citizens. History repeats itself.

EMIGRATION

John Smyth, the minister of different Separatist group from Gainsborough, decided that he and his congregation would emigrate in pursuit of freedom of religion. However, leaving England without permission was punishable, and so they quietly slipped away from Gainsborough and re-emerged in Amsterdam.

The Scrooby congregation also chanced an escape to the Netherlands via Boston, Lincolnshire. During the Autumn of 1607 they secretly traveled to Scotia Creek, near Boston, where they had chartered a boat to smuggle them out of the country. To their horror, they soon found out that they had been betrayed by the captain. They were seized and imprisoned in Boston. After a month of captivity, most of them were released.

Despite this, the Scrooby Separatists were not deterred. The next year, they travelled North to board a ship in Immingham. And once again, they were pursued. Though this time, the men succeeded in fleeing to the Netherlands. The women and children were aboard a different boat, which was seized. In the end, they were released and then finally reunited in Amsterdam.

LEIDEN, THE NETHERLANDS

At the time of the Separatists’ arrival in the Netherlands, the so-called Twelve Years’ Truce had just been signed. The truce made a temporary end to the hostilities between Spain and the Netherlands, and marked the start of a relatively calm period. Following a disagreement with the John Smyth group, the Scrooby group moved from Amsterdam to Leiden. Their pastor, John Robinson, sent a message to Leiden, requesting to admit some hundred men and women into the city. The city authorities agreed to welcome them, on the condition that they would abide by the rules.

They started a new life in the tolerant city of Leiden. They remained a close-knit community, and many of the group lived together, married among themselves and worked together. Many of them found a job in the flourishing textile industry. Their children were baptised at the Pieterskerk, the Hooglandse Kerk or the Vrouwekerk, as they were not permitted to have a church building of their own. They would often gather at John Robinson’s house, located next to the Pieterskerk.

Life in Leiden was tough for the Separatists. They came from rural England and were not accustomed to the urban setting they found themselves in. Many of them found it hard to adjust to the changes in their work, and earned very little. The parents among them also worried about their children losing touch with their English roots under the influence of the Dutch.

The Pilgrims carried over a number of customs from Leiden. One of these customs is civil marriage. In the early days, they had no-one who could conduct church weddings, so civil marriage was a good alternative. They also adopted Leiden’s administrative structure of small, self-regulatory districts. Last but not least, it is believed that the first Thanksgiving was inspired by the annual “Leidens Ontzet” celebration.

THE TWELVE YEAR ITCH

After some 12 years, close to the end of the Twelve Years’ Truce, a number of Separatists were determined it was time to move again. They contacted the congregation which had remained in England, and decided they would all travel to Virginia, America to set up a new community there. They would found a new town where they could live and practice their religion as they wished.

They realized it would be an expensive journey. In order to raise the money they needed, the Separatists made a deal with the Virginia Company, a business with the objective to establish colonies in North America. The Company needed people to populate the colonies and send them trading goods. The Separatists would work hard to pay back the money invested by the Company."

ALLERTON, Isaac (I6756)

My Uncle Richard was a most creative soul. He was an actor, playwright, and author throughout his adulthood. He began his love in the drama field as a young child when his mother would take him around to perform in minstrel shows. She would play the piano and he would sing and dance.

He later went to acting school and was considered their most promising student. He was once the lead in a Broadway play but otherwise had less prominent parts. He also wrote screenplays that were considered by major Actors at the time. He many fascinating, successful actresses and actors as friends. He was the kind of Uncle we would all brag about.

He married his childhood friend, Betty Scheibert. They were an exemplary couple whose love seemed to grow stronger through the years. They lived in New York City for most of their adult lives. Betty was a graphic artist for industrial applications. She had had polio as a child. It left her crippled. It didn't stop her from doing anything. Uncle Richard told me often about the time she climbed up a cliff at Highbanks, a park here in Columbus when they were both going to Ohio State University. He was so proud of her. They had a daughter, Jennifer, who became a famous photographer for the March of Dimes. She had the honor of photographing two of our American President's families in the Whitehouse in her career.

Uncle Richard was a sensitive soul called into service in the Korean War. He had many after-effects from that service that took him years to heal from. He was a profuse writer to his wife, Betty. He believed these letters were the basis for the long-running T.V. show called "Mash". His silhouette was captured by a photographer in the doorway of a hut in this war that was used by the AP press and published in many national papers.

He used this photo as the front cover of an autobiography he published about him and his wife, their families, and the town they grew up in. It's called "The Unidentified Soldier in the USO Poster". It can be purchased at Xlibris.com.

Nancy Coats' father believed this Henry Jr. to be the son of Henry and Molly Pitts. He would be the son that would account for 1 son under age 16 in Henry's 1790 census record. He is in the following Davenport record for Newberry Coh Carolina. "28Jul1803 - Probate Estate of Francis Davenport, Sr., late of Newberry County, Decd.

Nancy Martin was a Mormon pioneer, traveling from Council Bluffs, NE, departing there on July 5, 1849, going to SLC, Utah. She traveled with the Allen Taylor Company, which was a wagon company, not a handcart company. She was married to an Absalom Perkins, and they had 13 children from 1816 thru 1836. She died in 1856 in SLC. She is descended from Benjamin Martin and Elizabeth Lindsey. I have found quite a few of our Coate line that were LDS and went west during the Nauvoo exodus."

Nancy might possibly be the Ann Coats who married Wills McCool on Mar 29, 1810 in Miami Co., Ohio if the deed takes place before the end of March. (C-1239, 1562)

2932

Nancy Tharp was living and marrying in Gallia Co., Ohio about the same time as my ancestor Mary Polly Tharp. It is not known how they are related at this point, though I definitely suspect a relationship. Our current theory is thats the daughter of a James Tharp that shows up in Indiana in the 1830s or is the sister to Mary and youngest daughter of Joseph and (Elcy) Tharp. If the second is true, then Nancy and her husband would be first cousins. (CL-489) It should be noted that the Tharps and Calhouns both came from Iredell Co., NC to Gallia Co., Ohio (CL-489)

THARP, Nancy (I8096)

2933

Nancy was listed as Emmy in her father's estate papers, wife of John McCarley. John McCarley when he married Nancy Ann in 1813 records, was then listed as Ann. Obviously, she went by a couple different names and must have not liked theancy all that much. (CL-493E)

GLENN, Nancy Ann (I7944)

Nancy was no longer living at home in 1820. If Nancy never married it is possible she's the Nancy Clark in the 1850 census living in Cabell Co., VA with James and Margaret Carrol. She was listed as age 50, b. KY and a pauper. (CL-339

Nathan received permission from Bush River MM, SC to go to Miami MM, OH on Aug 31, 1805. Nathan migrated to Ohio with four of his brothers and their families.

Nathan was married out of the order in 1778 and is in the Bush River MM records for that event on 1778,7,25. He got a certificate to Hopewell in 1793. His wife's name has been listed as Nancy, Elizabeth and Sarah Jay. It is not known fe which one he was actually married to. It is still believed that he only had one marriage. (C-2034)

He is likely the Nathan Write listed in the 1790 census for the 96th District, Newberry Co., SC living in the same area as Big John Coats (p. 79). He was over 16, had 2 sons under 16 and 4 females in the household.

YARWOOD, Nathaniel (I1435)

2941

Nathaniel was the Speaker of the House of Assembly from 1829-1835, as well as J.P. and Colonel of the Militia. (F-458, 604) There is a story in the genealogical magazines of Barbados that goes like this. At an election party, a youdier, Lieutenant John Cage was, in jest, hit on the back by a young Mr. Samuel Forte. A fight followed. Lieutenant Cage was not forgiving and demanded that a duel be held in lieu of an apology. Mr. Forte of "good family and high social position" accepted the duel and shot Cage dead. When the military tried to arrest him, he was taken into hiding by "Aunt Peg" of General William's family at the Welchman Hall plantation. He is said to have escaped the island after receiving "Aunt Peg's" help and lived the rest of his life abroad. This particular story coined the phrase "AS DEAD AS CAGE". (F-162)

However, a cousin in New Zeland has it handed down from his great grandfather's genealogy (Claude Forte) that this actually occurred to the above Nathaniel Weekes Forte.... and he obviously still went on to become Speaker of the House. The pistols used in the duel are still in possession of the family in New Zealand. Nigel Forte, gr.grandson of the above Claude does not know where he got the information that the duel happened to Nathaniel instead. It's really still in question. (F-602)

Neither Edith or a husband were mentioned in the 1783 Indenture where Barzilla paid all of his other sisters and their spouses for land he'd received from his father through his brothers' demise. That suggests to me that she and her possiusband had probably died before 1783. One internet source however gives her death date as after 1800 with no spouse listed. Some sources like Comley's book list her spouse as Michael Newbold. However, in most sources Michael is listed with other spouses besides an Edith.

Nellie was a school teacher at Eagle one room school house in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., OH in the 1915-16 school year. Mom and I are wondering if that's how she met her husband whom she married after the next school year whom was also a t. In those days you weren't allowed to teach after you married. She and her husband lost their only child. I believe it was at birth. Her funeral was in Columbus, Ohio where they lived and she was buried with a graveside service the next day which was the Tuesday after her passing.
