2954	Ninian first shows up in 1650 records where he was captured during the battle of "Dunbar" in Scotland. He was taken with about 150 Scotsman to Barbados and arrived in Calvert County, MD by 1652. He was an indentured servant to a Richard Hall for 5 years. He could not have been having children back in Fife, Scotland during this time as is often attributed to him. If he had daughter Jane Margaret in 1655, she would have had to have been born in Calvert Co., MD to an unknown mother. He was a surveyor of property in Maryland records. He first purchased land in 1682 in these records. This suggests he raised some children in Maryland without owning his own land. He became a land owner of great property and wealth.

2955	No baptismal record has been found for Elizabeth. She seemed to be a well loved mistress of Edward, the Fifth Lord Dudley. She suposedly had between 11 and 14 children by him, all of which would have been expected to "marry into the laing gentry class."(Lewis, Billie, Thomas Underwood.) Elizabeth was listed as "Mris Elyzabeth Tumlinsone" in her burial record. (C-1364) There are 3 theories on how we are related to Elizabeth Tomlinson. 1) One of her sisters is married to John Bagley. 2) She and Lord Dudley had a daughter who married John Bagley whose children she names in her will and 3) Her sister Joan might have been the first mistress of Lord Dudley and their possible daughter married John Bagley. According to an article in the Jan. 1996 issue of TAG by Charles M. Hansen, the Bagley's are her nephews, children of her unnamed sister and John Bagley. Edward Bagley, one of John Bagley's sons, is named as the administrator in the dispersal of Elizabeth Tomlinson's estate on Jun 19, 1635 in Canterbury, England. He is listed in that document by the term "nepoti ex matre". This term in latin means grandson through the mother. However, according to the "Index to Administrations in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury" it should be translated as nephew through the sister. The author, Marc Fitch, is an authority on English records. The book was published in 1986 and specifically states the following. "Tomlinson, Eliz., spin., Tipton, Staffs. To Edw. Bagley, neph. ex sis. 19 Jun 1635, p. 107." (C-2324, 2483) As for Elizabeth's will, it was given verbally to relatives and is provided here from the following site: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/GEN-MEDIEVAL/2001-04/0986346524 provided by Kenneth Harper Finton. "Elizabeth Tomlinson nuncupative will, dated 3 July 1629: set out in the joint and severall answeres of Thomas Duddeley and Henry Jevon, two of the defendants to a bill filed in Chancery 23 May 1631 by Dud Dudley of Tipton, gent. It is as follows: The said Elizabeth, being visited with sickness whereof she afterwards dyed, did by word of mouth only, without writing, will and declare how and in what manner her said personal estate should be disposed of after her decease, which was to this purpose and effect following, that is to say: She did will and bequeath to her five daughters all her wearing apparel. And also she did will and bequeath to Edward Bagley son of John Bagley, and to Dudde Bagley his brother [sic, most say] to be paid so soon as her executors could pay the same. Also to Thomas Bagley and to Robert Bagley, sons of the said John Bagley, 20s apiece; and to the poor people of Dudley all the money to her belonging which was then in the hands of her son Dudd Dudley. And further she willed that Gilbert Gyllyan and Ann Rodes should be paid all that which was then by her due to them. And further she willed that her son, the now complainant, [Dud Dudley] should not see her writings, because, as she then said, he might do somebody wrong. And all the rest, etc., she gave and bequeathed to her eight children to be equally divided amongst them. And of the same her will and testament that said Elizabeth did then ordain and make these now defendants Thomas Duddeley her son-in-law, and Henry Jevon, her servant, executors, and shortly afterwards died." (sons Robert and Edward were dead as well as Susan.) There is another side to the presented theory in the TAG article that Elizabeth's sister was the mother of our line that should at least be noted until further evidence comes to light. There is still much evidence that Elizabeth and Lord Dudley are the parents of the wife of John Bagley. 1. All of the illegitimate children of Elizabeth and Lord Dudley's union or their spouses were given extensive holdings by their father, Lord Dudley.... John Bagley was one of these persons - and he is the only one that would not have been a child or the spouse of Lord Dudley's illegimate children if he was simply a nephew of Elizabeth Tomlinson. 2. As Kenneth Finton points out, Elizabeth is certainly not fond of her son, Dud Dudley, and tries to use her verbal will to take away his funds and give them to the poor. She also makes a statement that clearly leads one to believe she has information she doesn't want son Dud Dudley to have because she is afraid he will cause them harm. "And further she willed that her son, the now complainant, [Dud Dudley] should not see her writings, because, as she then said, he might do somebody wrong." 3. The execution of her estate is contested by son, Dud Dudley, six years after her death. Dud probably would have wanted to wait till an opportune time to have her estate settled. 4. We know that Dud Dudley had power due to the fact that his father supported him in developing a new coal process which gave him fame but brought hard times to his father, Lord Dudley, and the rest of his family. 5. Dud Dudley and John Bagley were at definite odds. John Bagley evicted him from the manor house when Dud had illegally taken possession of it. According to Kenneth Finton, John appeared angry with Dud "for wasting his father's fortune on his coal mining schemes" and "bringing his father to such destitution." 6. The count on the children in her will is not accurate. She wanted her possessions divided amongst her 8 children, but she only had 7 living children according to her son, Dud Dudley's account of the family in the 1663 Visitation of Staffordshire lists which Dud Dudley provided years after her death. This additional child not mentioned by Dud Dudley would be accounted for by the wife of John Bagley who was provided for well by Lord Dudley himself. 7. Though this is not mentioned in the will, Elizabeth gave a house to John Bagley (Jr.), son to the John Bagley right before she died. This home was probably the one she lived in. She obviously cared greatly for John Bagley's children in particular. Though, she did not specify her relationship to them, this could have been in the "writings" she did not want her son Dud to know about. 8. The naming patterns also suggest that the Bagley line descends from Edward Sutton, Lord Dudley. Much of the above evidence has been provided by Kenneth Harper Finton and Billie Lewis and some of their work was forwarded to me by my Uncle Richard Coate. Until further evidence comes to light, it is difficult to know which theory is correct. As for proof that Elizabeth was the daughter of William Tomlinson, this can be found in Herald's visitation of the county of Stafford in the year 1663, signed by Dud Dudley himself, when he describes his mother as "Elizabeth, daughter of Willia m Tomlinson of Dudley, concubine of Edward Lord Dudley."	TOMLINSON, Elizabeth (I13404)
2956	No birth, marriage or death records have been found for this Robert. He was brought to Maryland by his parents in 1652-3. He inherited "West Wells" in Anne Arundel Co., MD in his father's will. He was also in business with his brother, Ben	WELLS, Robert (I379)
2957	No father is listed for any of his children. However, there is no evidence in the Stokesley records that there was any other male living in that town having children when his likely children are born. After he died in 1580, there is no evidence of another married male except for his son William having children. Again their father is not listed. However, the minute one of Williams possible brothers marries, then the children's names always have their father listed with them. Therefore, this sorting of children seems quite reasonable.	COOTES, George (I15263)
2958	No wife or children have been found for him. He was the brother who managed the plantations in Barbados. (F-608)	FORTE, Joseph (I1116)
2959	Noah was born to a single mother, Mary Barnsley. His father is not listed in his baptismal record.	BARNSLEY, Noah * born out of wedlock (I11146)
2960	Noam was Enosh's sister and wife. (F-515)	Naom (I14115)
2961	None of his children were listed as underage or as married.	YOUNG, Joseph (He was healthy at the writing of his will in 1728 in Cecil Co. MD - only wf and sons named) (I20400)
2962	Norman Clark enlisted in the army during the Civil War on Aug. 11, 1862. He was a private in Company a, 91st Regiment, O.V.I. (CL-252) He was a farmer by trade.	CLARK, Norman (I16246)
2963	Norman Leroy Forte married Theresia Rosa Link when she was 18 years old in Philadelphia. This is about the age he was when running in track for competition. There are several medals dated 1908 that I have rubbings of. He won the 100 yard dash at OGSC, 3rd place in the 75 yard dash in another and the Middle States Championship at the University of Pennsylvania on another. (F-431) Norman and Theresia Forte's children have shared the following recollections of their parents. Their father was a good provider, but wasn't around for active involvement with his older sons. Photography was one of his interests. He was always taking 16mm motion pictures of his family. About 10 of these films and his old projector are in the possession of Doris Forte Dudick. He also did some of his own dark room work and a few of these pictures still exist. He made jewelry and worked with precious stones. He loved to dance. Any normal day, he'd be dressed in a suit and tie. (F-625) Norman was from a family of very strong willed, unique individuals who never really got along when they gathered. At crisis points in his families' life, ex: upon parents death, Norman, seemed to be the only son capable of making the decisions and handling the affairs. Theresia, is remembered by all of her children, with respect. They feel she was a "real lady." They can't remember her raising her voice or hitting, yet she always maintained discipline. She seemed to be understanding with her children. Hank and Link remember her letting them borrow the car when he needed it. She loved to read, play cards, go to the movies, listen to the radio, be with friends, and dance. She had all of her children take piano lessons. Link, Betty and Hank took the most lessons because of their interest in it. She would dance with her children. Her all time favorite music was "The Nutcracker Suite." She was a fantastic seamstress and a good cook. Physically, she was always very thin and smoked cigarettes. She didn't weigh over 100 lbs. She was in a fashion show in her younger days at the Keswick Theater at Keswick Ave., Glenside, Pennsylvania. Norman, her husband, used to recall this with pride. She was a member of the American Red Cross during World War II. The life she and Norman established for their children was very regular. Monday was wash day. Saturday night dinner always included thick steaks with mashed potatoes. Saturday night was also the bath night for the children. Some of her sons don't remember this very fondly. Sunday dinner included pork chops. Sunday afternoons, at least when Doris was a teenager, was a "Go to the Movies" afternoon. She died at age 61 from a brain tumor. All in all, her children described her in glowing terms. The following information about Norman and Theresia's residences and jobs is from a combined interview of Bud, Doris, Link, Hank and Bill at the Sept., 1988 Forte Reunion at Indian Lake and from a much earlier interview of Norman Sr. himself. During World War I, "Papa," as his grandchildren called him, couldn't get drafted because he had too many children and an important job. He considered himself a self-made Civil Engineer who learned the ropes from his father, not from any college. Employment records would probably list him as a Tar Salesman. While the War was taking place, Papa was invited to Hog Island Navy Yard, S.W.. Philadelphia by President Wilson to the christening of Kwis Konk--the first concrete ship or liberty ship. He then started supplying that shipyard. Due to the nature of his job, and his own personal interest in enjoying changes in housing, he and his family moved a great deal. All of his children were born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at one of the following residences: (in 1915) Detroit St.; (1916) 3808 Delhi St.; (1917-18) 915 W. Butler St.; (1918) 4521 Morris St., Germantown; (1919-20) 138 Keswick Ave., Glenside; (This is verified in the 1920 Census for Chiltenham, Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania Norman is listed as a Sales Engineer in merchandising. They had 3 children at the time, Henry, Norman and Marie. Theresia lists her birth place as Pennsylvania and her parent's as Germany. F-261) (1920) 5713 N. Marshall; (1921) 414 Roberts Rd.; (1922-24) 935 Kenmore Rd. in Overbrook; and (Aug. 1925-June 1931) 17 Teague Ave in Glenside. Kenmore Road is where Henry contracted diphtheria. Whenever a family member caught a disease such as measles, whooping cough, etc., the whole family would be quarantined to the house for around 3 weeks. This was a typical health practice at the time. Norman and family can be found living in Abington Township, Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania in the 1930 census. Norman was age 38 and his wife was 32. He owned his own home with a value of $8700.00 at the time. He and his parents were born in Pennsylvania. His wife was born in Pennsylvania also, but her father's birth place was Baden, Germany and her mother was born in Hessendomstadt, Germany. Norman is listed as a commercial traveler in the building and brick industry. Henry, Norman, Marie, William, Julius and Doris were members of their household. It also states that Norman was 23 and Theresia was 18 when they married. (F-665) After the start of the Depression, in 1931, Norman got a job with Barrett Company and they moved to 825 Walnut St. Norman was a good provider and his family of six children did not feel the effects of the Depression. This also meant that he was often at work and gone during the week. He spent Sunday afternoons working on his expense account. His sons remember him calling down, "What does the speedometer read?" This was information that they retrieved for his reports. He and his wife were from stern English and German backgrounds, respectively, and their word was law. None of the children remember arguing with their authority till they were grown. Bud went to Cathedral Grade School for 8th grade and Cathedral Prep School in 9th and 10th. Henry, who was called Harry, was nicknamed Hank by his peers here, because there was already a Harry in the group. Nineteen Thirty Two found them living at 655 W. 8th St. in Erie. In 1934, they moved to Rose Point in Roxbury, Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Here, Bud attended Cochran Junior High School for the end of his 10th grade year and the senior high for 11th and 12th grades. He was a member of the glee club. His appreciation of music is quite evident in 1988 also. He graduated in 1936 and first went to work for Barrett Company as a shipping clerk. (This was the same company that his father worked for.) Henry worked at National Radiators in the Billing and later the Tabulating Dept. He remembers working with IBM equipment in 1936/7 that was the for-runner of today's computers. Doris started first grade while at Rose Point in 1935. There address at this point was on Agnes St., and then Second Ave in 1936. World War II started. Bud left in 1939 to join the Army Air Corp. Norman still worked for Barrett, a division of Allied Chemical and Dye Corp. in the Tarvia Division. They were the largest corporation next to General Motors in the whole world at that time. (F-17) Further moves took them to 1319 Menoher Highway in 1939 and 1028 MillCreek Rd. in 1940, both in Johnstown, Pennsylvania When the U.S. was drawn into World War II in 1941, all of Norman and Theresia's children except Doris who was underage, joined the services. Linc, Bill and Bud were all Radiomen. Linc and Bill were in the Navy, Linc being stationed in New Calidonia, Australia. Bud was in the U.S. Army Air Corp. He was first stationed in Langley Field, Virginia, then in Java, East Indies (now Indonesia) and when Java was attacked by the Japanese for it's oil wells, he was stationed in Melborne, Australia. He met his future wife the first day he arrived in Melborne at a pub. After the war, he went back to Australia and married her. There is a whole Forte branch now living there because he made his life's home with his new wife there. His brother, Henry, was in the Quartermaster Corp in North Africa. His sister, Betty, was a W.A.C. Amazingly, this whole family survived the war without injury. (F-236) On the home front in April, 1942, Norman, Theresia and Doris moved to Sawyer Rd., in Bradford, Pennsylvania where they owned a house for the first time since Philadelphia. Norman was known for his love of new cars. He had a brand new car about every 2 years. It was in Bradford, where he owned a LaSALLE. His kids remember many of his cars as being very special, ex.: A Chrysler New Yorker, (Sedan) metallic blue with a blue interior. Also, it was here that Doris Forte met her future husband, John Dudick. After she married, Norman and Theresia sold the farm and moved to State St. in 1948 and then Vista Circle in July of 1949, still in Bradford, PA, then on to 2285 Kensington Ave., Kenmore, Buffalo, N.Y. in 1950. It was at this point that Allied Chemical, Norman's employer wanted to move him to Syracuse, New York after shutting down the Tarvius division. He was unhappy going to a totally new city and therefore switched employment to Allied Bituminous. (pronounced Bitchimuns) Soon after, Bituminous moved him to Erie, Pennsylvania. Bituminous was bought out by Ashland Chemical. Erie is where Norman and Theresia spent their remaining years. (F-228) A couple years after Theresia died of a brain tumor, Norman remarried Agnes Casey. They lived at 728 Michigan Ave. in Erie, Pennsylvania and had a long marriage of 20 years. Her son inherited their furniture and mementos. Edward Forte's (Norman's grandfathers) original diary was amongst his effects that likely went to Agnes' son by her first marriage. This is noted in the hopes that the original diary can one day be found. Norman's mass was held at St. Jude the Apostle Church at 11:00 A.M. He and his first wife are interred in Calvary Cemetery, Section 27, Lot 381.	FORTE, Norman Leroy Sr. (I12624)

2976	Old Mill is the birthplace listed for him in the 1881 census and it sounds a lot like the birthplace of his possible cousins which were Adenhill, Hayden Hill and Old Hill all in co. Worcestershire, England. However, in the earlier 1861, which is more likely to be correct it lists his birthplace as Rowley, Staffordshire, England. It is however, the birthplace listed for most of his siblings at that point in time.	DIMMACK, Mathias (I1797)

2978	Oliver enlisted with his brother Jesse Kersey Coates in the Union Army on July 14, 1862. They joined B Company of the Ohio 104th infantry on August 30, 1862. Oliver died in the civil war at a hospital in Lexington, KY. His brother,, brought his body home from the war. The article that follows was in their father's wallet when it was passed down in the family. "Death of Serg't Oliver R. Coates. On Board of Train, April 8, 1863. Friend Hartzell: I am on the road to Lexington, KY to bring home the body of my brotehr, Serg't. Oliver R. Coates, another victim to this damnable Rebellion. I am consoled by knowing that he died in a good cause, being a soldier of the cross as well as of the Union. His funeral will take place in Marlboro, Thursday, April 16th, 1863 at 10 1/2 AM. Yours truly, Jesse K. Coates. (C-2109E)	COATES, Oliver Ridgeway (I5126)
2979	On 11 MAR 1553, he obtained the position of Lord High Admiral. He was to become the ancestor of the Earls of Effingham.	HOWARD, Lord William (I13605)
2980	On 9/5/1774, William child of Barzillai moved to Evesham Monthly Meeting according to a record of Burlington Monthly Meeting in Hinshaw. Since he is listed as a child, we can only surmise that he was under age 18 at the time. On Se, 1788, a somewhat underage William of Burlington Co., ward who owned real estate, chose as his guardian, Samuel Evans. His father, Barzilla, had died and willed him 1040 acres of his property in New Hanover Twp. The land had originally belonged to his grandfather and was purchased back by his father from John Garwood in 1714. This William married a Sarah. They and an infant son were given a certificate of removal from Evesham MM, Burlington Co., NJ to Burlington MM in 1793. (C-1056) So far he is the only William I've found who could be the William who was disowned on 1797, 2, 6 by Burlington Monthly Meeting, NJ for marrying out of unity unless of course it's a son of his named William who married out of unity. William did have a son named William but he wasn't born till 1794. In either case, William, the elder here had a wife named Sarah in the inventory of his estate in 1811. (Hinshaw's Quaker Encyclopedia). He had a total of 3 sons and five daughters. William appears to have a brother Barzilla who witnessed his will. He mentions no children in it. (C-1078) The son whom he did not mention in his will, either died or possibly was the Michael Coate of Evesham Twp. who made his will in 1814, had wife, Mehitable and mother Sarah. This Michael was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. William Sharp was a witness to Michael's will. (C-1078) The inventory of his estate is provided via Charlotte Coats Sierks "Family Archives" site.

2981	On CD-100, Edmund is listed as "Earl of Kent, Duke of Holland". His older brother, Thomas was the first to have that title, but when he died young Edmund was the next in line. (C-452) This would have been before 1404 when Edmund's ageerified on the records in the following manner. This info was provided by Keith Cox who has done research in Brockenhurst records. "The jurors make the following presentments: They remember the date because William Frebody, aged 50 and more, held a lighted torch at the font during the baptism. Thomas Colyngton, 42 and more, on that day brought 12 partridges to Thomas de Holland, the father of Edmund. Robert atte More, aged 46 and more, killed a deer on that day in the New Forest near Brockenhurst with two white greyhounds. John Wallop, 50 and more, on that day took two swans at Brockenhurst and gave them to Alice countess of Kent, mother of Edmund. John Payn, 50 and more, on that day served in the hall of Brockenhurst Manor, and there cut the thumb of his left hand with a knife. William Escote, 50 and more, held a lighted torch at the font. John Polayn, 60 and more, brought a wild boar, killed in the said Forest, to the town and presented it to the father. John Harryes, 50 and more, presented 12 capons and 24 hens to the mother. Thomas Tauk, 42 and more, held a torch at the font. John Shottere, 50 and more, carried a torch before Edmund when he was brought to the church for the baptism, and there lit it and gave it to William Frebody at the font. Thomas Brangwyn, 46 and more, provided a silk purse. Robert Barbour of Romsey, 50 and more, carried a torch before Edmund to the church, and gave it to William Escote at the font." He too died fairly young of wounds in Brittany. For reasons unknown, he did not marry Constance Langley, mother of his daughter Eleanor Holland. (C-437, p. 583)	HOLLAND, Edmund Earl Of Kent (I12671)

That means he would have emigrated to Massachusetts before 1722. I have checs DNA (A711521 at Gedmatch) against my mothers and they had no matching segments from 1 cM on up. This is normal for this far back. I need a lot larger sample to determine that he's not our common relative. His death date is listed as 1729 or 1749 in second hand trees.	COLQUHOUN, Pvt.

He enlisted in the Civil War in Company D, Ohio 193rd Infantry Regiment on 11 Mar 1865. He mustered out on 04 Aug 1865 at Winchester, VA. He achieved the rank of Private and was born about 1829 according to his enlistement papers and his name is listed as Abiathar D. Coate. Source: Official Roster of the Soldiers of the State of Ohio.	COATE, Abiathar Davis (I6412)
2991	One source of unknown origin, gives Mary's burial date as 7/30/1719, before she married Mr. Sands. Her marriage that takes place in 1720 can be verified with a copy of the original Quaker marriage record at the Coats Family Archives proy Charlotte Coats Siercks. She is listed as the daughter of James Coates, deceased (late of Philadelphia). The 1719 death date for her, therefore, has to be wrong. Witnesses at their marriage in the closest relatives column included John Sands (her brother-in-law?), Abraham Cowgill (her husband's 1st cousin through his mother's side), James Coate (her brother), Elizabeth Coate (a possible sister, sister-in-law or her cousin Elizabeth, d. of Samuel), Henry Coate (1st cousin through Uncle Samuel or her Uncle Henry), Sarah Laine (1st cousin through his mother's side), Caleb Rapier (husband of her 2nd cousin Mary Coate), Mary Rapier (2nd cousin, d. of Marmaduke and Ann Pole Coate), Henry Clothier (cousin as son of Sarah Jane Coate and James Clothier of Somersetshire Co., England), William Coate (cousin through Uncle Samuel) and Edmund Cowgill (1st cousin to her husband through his mother's side) in that order. This list gives several wonderful clues. Why aren't her siblings, John and Ann or her mother Mary in the list? John and Ann were deceased by that time. It's likely as well for her mother Mary. Are the James and Elizabeth Coate possibly her siblings that were also not named in her father, James's Coate's will? I theorize that James and Mary did probably have a son James and possibly another daughter Elizabeth. There isn't any other James that I've found that could account for the James who is high up on her witness list. Elizabeth might be this James's wife or she could be another sister of Mary.

Ninian first shows up in 1650 records where he was captured during the battle of "Dunbar" in Scotland. He was taken with about 150 Scotsman to Barbados and arrived in Calvert County, MD by 1652. He was an indentured servant to a Richard Hall for 5 years. He could not have been having children back in Fife, Scotland during this time as is often attributed to him. If he had daughter Jane Margaret in 1655, she would have had to have been born in Calvert Co., MD to an unknown mother.

He was a surveyor of property in Maryland records. He first purchased land in 1682 in these records. This suggests he raised some children in Maryland without owning his own land. He became a land owner of great property and wealth.

No baptismal record has been found for Elizabeth. She seemed to be a well loved mistress of Edward, the Fifth Lord Dudley. She suposedly had between 11 and 14 children by him, all of which would have been expected to "marry into the laing gentry class."(Lewis, Billie, Thomas Underwood.) Elizabeth was listed as "Mris Elyzabeth Tumlinsone" in her burial record. (C-1364)

There are 3 theories on how we are related to Elizabeth Tomlinson. 1) One of her sisters is married to John Bagley. 2) She and Lord Dudley had a daughter who married John Bagley whose children she names in her will and 3) Her sister Joan might have been the first mistress of Lord Dudley and their possible daughter married John Bagley.

According to an article in the Jan. 1996 issue of TAG by Charles M. Hansen, the Bagley's are her nephews, children of her unnamed sister and John Bagley. Edward Bagley, one of John Bagley's sons, is named as the administrator in the dispersal of Elizabeth Tomlinson's estate on Jun 19, 1635 in Canterbury, England. He is listed in that document by the term "nepoti ex matre". This term in latin means grandson through the mother. However, according to the "Index to Administrations in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury" it should be translated as nephew through the sister. The author, Marc Fitch, is an authority on English records. The book was published in 1986 and specifically states the following. "Tomlinson, Eliz., spin., Tipton, Staffs. To Edw. Bagley, neph. ex sis. 19 Jun 1635, p. 107." (C-2324, 2483)

As for Elizabeth's will, it was given verbally to relatives and is provided here from the following site: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/GEN-MEDIEVAL/2001-04/0986346524 provided by Kenneth Harper Finton. "Elizabeth Tomlinson nuncupative will, dated 3 July 1629: set out in the joint and severall answeres of Thomas Duddeley and Henry Jevon, two of the defendants to a bill filed in Chancery 23 May 1631 by Dud Dudley of Tipton, gent. It is as follows: The said Elizabeth, being visited with sickness whereof she afterwards dyed, did by word of mouth only, without writing, will and declare how and in what manner her said personal estate should be disposed of after her decease, which was to this purpose and effect following, that is to say: She did will and bequeath to her five daughters all her wearing apparel. And also she did will and bequeath to Edward Bagley son of John Bagley, and to Dudde Bagley his brother [sic, most say] to be paid so soon as her executors could pay the same. Also to Thomas Bagley and to Robert Bagley, sons of the said John Bagley, 20s apiece; and to the poor people of Dudley all the money to her belonging which was then in the hands of her son Dudd Dudley. And further she willed that Gilbert Gyllyan and Ann Rodes should be paid all that which was then by her due to them. And further she willed that her son, the now complainant, [Dud Dudley] should not see her writings, because, as she then said, he might do somebody wrong. And all the rest, etc., she gave and bequeathed to her eight children to be equally divided amongst them. And of the same her will and testament that said Elizabeth did then ordain and make these now defendants Thomas Duddeley her son-in-law, and Henry Jevon, her servant, executors, and shortly afterwards died." (sons Robert and Edward were dead as well as Susan.)

There is another side to the presented theory in the TAG article that Elizabeth's sister was the mother of our line that should at least be noted until further evidence comes to light. There is still much evidence that Elizabeth and Lord Dudley are the parents of the wife of John Bagley.

1. All of the illegitimate children of Elizabeth and Lord Dudley's union or their spouses were given extensive holdings by their father, Lord Dudley.... John Bagley was one of these persons - and he is the only one that would not have been a child or the spouse of Lord Dudley's illegimate children if he was simply a nephew of Elizabeth Tomlinson.

2. As Kenneth Finton points out, Elizabeth is certainly not fond of her son, Dud Dudley, and tries to use her verbal will to take away his funds and give them to the poor. She also makes a statement that clearly leads one to believe she has information she doesn't want son Dud Dudley to have because she is afraid he will cause them harm. "And further she willed that her son, the now complainant, [Dud Dudley] should not see her writings, because, as she then said, he might do somebody wrong."

3. The execution of her estate is contested by son, Dud Dudley, six years after her death. Dud probably would have wanted to wait till an opportune time to have her estate settled.

4. We know that Dud Dudley had power due to the fact that his father supported him in developing a new coal process which gave him fame but brought hard times to his father, Lord Dudley, and the rest of his family.

5. Dud Dudley and John Bagley were at definite odds. John Bagley evicted him from the manor house when Dud had illegally taken possession of it. According to Kenneth Finton, John appeared angry with Dud "for wasting his father's fortune on his coal mining schemes" and "bringing his father to such destitution."

6. The count on the children in her will is not accurate. She wanted her possessions divided amongst her 8 children, but she only had 7 living children according to her son, Dud Dudley's account of the family in the 1663 Visitation of Staffordshire lists which Dud Dudley provided years after her death. This additional child not mentioned by Dud Dudley would be accounted for by the wife of John Bagley who was provided for well by Lord Dudley himself.

7. Though this is not mentioned in the will, Elizabeth gave a house to John Bagley (Jr.), son to the John Bagley right before she died. This home was probably the one she lived in. She obviously cared greatly for John Bagley's children in particular. Though, she did not specify her relationship to them, this could have been in the "writings" she did not want her son Dud to know about.

8. The naming patterns also suggest that the Bagley line descends from Edward Sutton, Lord Dudley.

Much of the above evidence has been provided by Kenneth Harper Finton and Billie Lewis and some of their work was forwarded to me by my Uncle Richard Coate. Until further evidence comes to light, it is difficult to know which theory is correct.

As for proof that Elizabeth was the daughter of William Tomlinson, this can be found in Herald's visitation of the county of Stafford in the year 1663, signed by Dud Dudley himself, when he describes his mother as "Elizabeth, daughter of Willia
m Tomlinson of Dudley, concubine of Edward Lord Dudley."

WELLS, Robert (I379)

No father is listed for any of his children. However, there is no evidence in the Stokesley records that there was any other male living in that town having children when his likely children are born. After he died in 1580, there is no evidence of another married male except for his son William having children. Again their father is not listed. However, the minute one of Williams possible brothers marries, then the children's names always have their father listed with them. Therefore, this sorting of children seems quite reasonable.

Norman Leroy Forte married Theresia Rosa Link when she was 18 years old in Philadelphia. This is about the age he was when running in track for competition. There are several medals dated 1908 that I have rubbings of. He won the 100 yard dash at OGSC, 3rd place in the 75 yard dash in another and the Middle States Championship at the University of Pennsylvania on another. (F-431)

Norman and Theresia Forte's children have shared the following recollections of their parents. Their father was a good provider, but wasn't around for active involvement with his older sons. Photography was one of his interests. He was always taking 16mm motion pictures of his family. About 10 of these films and his old projector are in the possession of Doris Forte Dudick. He also did some of his own dark room work and a few of these pictures still exist. He made jewelry and worked with precious stones. He loved to dance. Any normal day, he'd be dressed in a suit and tie. (F-625)

Norman was from a family of very strong willed, unique individuals who never really got along when they gathered. At crisis points in his families' life, ex: upon parents death, Norman, seemed to be the only son capable of making the decisions and handling the affairs. Theresia, is remembered by all of her children, with respect. They feel she was a "real lady." They can't remember her raising her voice or hitting, yet she always maintained discipline. She seemed to be understanding with her children. Hank and Link remember her letting them borrow the car when he needed it.

She loved to read, play cards, go to the movies, listen to the radio, be with friends, and dance. She had all of her children take piano lessons. Link, Betty and Hank took the most lessons because of their interest in it. She would dance with her children. Her all time favorite music was "The Nutcracker Suite." She was a fantastic seamstress and a good cook. Physically, she was always very thin and smoked cigarettes. She didn't weigh over 100 lbs. She was in a fashion show in her younger days at the Keswick Theater at Keswick Ave., Glenside, Pennsylvania. Norman, her husband, used to recall this with pride. She was a member of the American Red Cross during World War II.

The life she and Norman established for their children was very regular. Monday was wash day. Saturday night dinner always included thick steaks with mashed potatoes. Saturday night was also the bath night for the children. Some of her sons don't remember this very fondly. Sunday dinner included pork chops. Sunday afternoons, at least when Doris was a teenager, was a "Go to the Movies" afternoon. She died at age 61 from a brain tumor.

All in all, her children described her in glowing terms. The following information about Norman and Theresia's residences and jobs is from a combined interview of Bud, Doris, Link, Hank and Bill at the Sept., 1988 Forte Reunion at Indian Lake and from a much earlier interview of Norman Sr. himself. During World War I, "Papa," as his grandchildren called him, couldn't get drafted because he had too many children and an important job. He considered himself a self-made Civil Engineer who learned the ropes from his father, not from any college. Employment records would probably list him as a Tar Salesman. While the War was taking place, Papa was invited to Hog Island Navy Yard, S.W.. Philadelphia by President Wilson to the christening of Kwis Konk--the first concrete ship or liberty ship. He then started supplying that shipyard.

Due to the nature of his job, and his own personal interest in enjoying changes in housing, he and his family moved a great deal. All of his children were born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at one of the following residences: (in 1915) Detroit St.; (1916) 3808 Delhi St.; (1917-18) 915 W. Butler St.; (1918) 4521 Morris St., Germantown; (1919-20) 138 Keswick Ave., Glenside; (This is verified in the 1920 Census for Chiltenham, Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania Norman is listed as a Sales Engineer in merchandising. They had 3 children at the time, Henry, Norman and Marie. Theresia lists her birth place as Pennsylvania and her parent's as Germany. F-261) (1920) 5713 N. Marshall; (1921) 414 Roberts Rd.; (1922-24) 935 Kenmore Rd. in Overbrook; and (Aug. 1925-June 1931) 17 Teague Ave in Glenside. Kenmore Road is where Henry contracted diphtheria.

Whenever a family member caught a disease such as measles, whooping cough, etc., the whole family would be quarantined to the house for around 3 weeks. This was a typical health practice at the time.

Norman and family can be found living in Abington Township, Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania in the 1930 census. Norman was age 38 and his wife was 32. He owned his own home with a value of $8700.00 at the time. He and his parents were born in Pennsylvania. His wife was born in Pennsylvania also, but her father's birth place was Baden, Germany and her mother was born in Hessendomstadt, Germany. Norman is listed as a commercial traveler in the building and brick industry. Henry, Norman, Marie, William, Julius and Doris were members of their household. It also states that Norman was 23 and Theresia was 18 when they married. (F-665) After the start of the Depression, in 1931, Norman got a job with Barrett Company and they moved to 825 Walnut St. Norman was a good provider and his family of six children did not feel the effects of the Depression. This also meant that he was often at work and gone during the week. He spent Sunday afternoons working on his expense account. His sons remember him calling down, "What does the speedometer read?" This was information that they retrieved for his reports.

He and his wife were from stern English and German backgrounds, respectively, and their word was law. None of the children remember arguing with their authority till they were grown. Bud went to Cathedral Grade School for 8th grade and Cathedral Prep School in 9th and 10th. Henry, who was called Harry, was nicknamed Hank by his peers here, because there was already a Harry in the group. Nineteen Thirty Two found them living at 655 W. 8th St. in Erie.

In 1934, they moved to Rose Point in Roxbury, Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Here, Bud attended Cochran Junior High School for the end of his 10th grade year and the senior high for 11th and 12th grades. He was a member of the glee club. His appreciation of music is quite evident in 1988 also. He graduated in 1936 and first went to work for Barrett Company as a shipping clerk. (This was the same company that his father worked for.) Henry worked at National Radiators in the Billing and later the Tabulating Dept. He remembers working with IBM equipment in 1936/7 that was the for-runner of today's computers.

Doris started first grade while at Rose Point in 1935. There address at this point was on Agnes St., and then Second Ave in 1936. World War II started. Bud left in 1939 to join the Army Air Corp. Norman still worked for Barrett, a division of Allied Chemical and Dye Corp. in the Tarvia Division. They were the largest corporation next to General Motors in the whole world at that time. (F-17) Further moves took them to 1319 Menoher Highway in 1939 and 1028 MillCreek Rd. in 1940, both in Johnstown, Pennsylvania When the U.S. was drawn into World War II in 1941, all of Norman and Theresia's children except Doris who was underage, joined the services. Linc, Bill and Bud were all Radiomen. Linc and Bill were in the Navy, Linc being stationed in New Calidonia, Australia.

Bud was in the U.S. Army Air Corp. He was first stationed in Langley Field, Virginia, then in Java, East Indies (now Indonesia) and when Java was attacked by the Japanese for it's oil wells, he was stationed in Melborne, Australia. He met his future wife the first day he arrived in Melborne at a pub. After the war, he went back to Australia and married her. There is a whole Forte branch now living there because he made his life's home with his new wife there. His brother, Henry, was in the Quartermaster Corp in North Africa. His sister, Betty, was a W.A.C. Amazingly, this whole family survived the war without injury. (F-236) On the home front in April, 1942, Norman, Theresia and Doris moved to Sawyer Rd., in Bradford, Pennsylvania where they owned a house for the first time since Philadelphia.

Norman was known for his love of new cars. He had a brand new car about every 2 years. It was in Bradford, where he owned a LaSALLE. His kids remember many of his cars as being very special, ex.: A Chrysler New Yorker, (Sedan) metallic blue with a blue interior. Also, it was here that Doris Forte met her future husband, John Dudick. After she married, Norman and Theresia sold the farm and moved to State St. in 1948 and then Vista Circle in July of 1949, still in Bradford, PA, then on to 2285 Kensington Ave., Kenmore, Buffalo, N.Y. in 1950.

It was at this point that Allied Chemical, Norman's employer wanted to move him to Syracuse, New York after shutting down the Tarvius division. He was unhappy going to a totally new city and therefore switched employment to Allied Bituminous. (pronounced Bitchimuns) Soon after, Bituminous moved him to Erie, Pennsylvania.

Bituminous was bought out by Ashland Chemical. Erie is where Norman and Theresia spent their remaining years. (F-228) A couple years after Theresia died of a brain tumor, Norman remarried Agnes Casey. They lived at 728 Michigan Ave. in Erie, Pennsylvania and had a long marriage of 20 years. Her son inherited their furniture and mementos. Edward Forte's (Norman's grandfathers) original diary was amongst his effects that likely went to Agnes' son by her first marriage. This is noted in the hopes that the original diary can one day be found. Norman's mass was held at St. Jude the Apostle Church at 11:00 A.M. He and his first wife are interred in Calvary Cemetery, Section 27, Lot 381.

Old Mill is the birthplace listed for him in the 1881 census and it sounds a lot like the birthplace of his possible cousins which were Adenhill, Hayden Hill and Old Hill all in co. Worcestershire, England. However, in the earlier 1861, which is more likely to be correct it lists his birthplace as Rowley, Staffordshire, England. It is however, the birthplace listed for most of his siblings at that point in time.

On 9/5/1774, William child of Barzillai moved to Evesham Monthly Meeting according to a record of Burlington Monthly Meeting in Hinshaw. Since he is listed as a child, we can only surmise that he was under age 18 at the time. On Se, 1788, a somewhat underage William of Burlington Co., ward who owned real estate, chose as his guardian, Samuel Evans. His father, Barzilla, had died and willed him 1040 acres of his property in New Hanover Twp. The land had originally belonged to his grandfather and was purchased back by his father from John Garwood in 1714.

This William married a Sarah. They and an infant son were given a certificate of removal from Evesham MM, Burlington Co., NJ to Burlington MM in 1793. (C-1056) So far he is the only William I've found who could be the William who was disowned on 1797, 2, 6 by Burlington Monthly Meeting, NJ for marrying out of unity unless of course it's a son of his named William who married out of unity. William did have a son named William but he wasn't born till 1794.

In either case, William, the elder here had a wife named Sarah in the inventory of his estate in 1811. (Hinshaw's Quaker Encyclopedia). He had a total of 3 sons and five daughters. William appears to have a brother Barzilla who witnessed his will. He mentions no children in it. (C-1078)

The son whom he did not mention in his will, either died or possibly was the Michael Coate of Evesham Twp. who made his will in 1814, had wife, Mehitable and mother Sarah. This Michael was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. William Sharp was a witness to Michael's will. (C-1078)

On CD-100, Edmund is listed as "Earl of Kent, Duke of Holland". His older brother, Thomas was the first to have that title, but when he died young Edmund was the next in line. (C-452) This would have been before 1404 when Edmund's ageerified on the records in the following manner. This info was provided by Keith Cox who has done research in Brockenhurst records. "The jurors make the following presentments: They remember the date because William Frebody, aged 50 and more, held a lighted torch at the font during the baptism. Thomas Colyngton, 42 and more, on that day brought 12 partridges to Thomas de Holland, the father of Edmund. Robert atte More, aged 46 and more, killed a deer on that day in the New Forest near Brockenhurst with two white greyhounds. John Wallop, 50 and more, on that day took two swans at Brockenhurst and gave them to Alice countess of Kent, mother of Edmund. John Payn, 50 and more, on that day served in the hall of Brockenhurst Manor, and there cut the thumb of his left hand with a knife. William Escote, 50 and more, held a lighted torch at the font. John Polayn, 60 and more, brought a wild boar, killed in the said Forest, to the town and presented it to the father. John Harryes, 50 and more, presented 12 capons and 24 hens to the mother. Thomas Tauk, 42 and more, held a torch at the font. John Shottere, 50 and more, carried a torch before Edmund when he was brought to the church for the baptism, and there lit it and gave it to William Frebody at the font. Thomas Brangwyn, 46 and more, provided a silk purse. Robert Barbour of Romsey, 50 and more, carried a torch before Edmund to the church, and gave it to William Escote at the font." He too died fairly young of wounds in Brittany. For reasons unknown, he did not marry Constance Langley, mother of his daughter Eleanor Holland. (C-437, p. 583)

One of Jonathan's sons was named Elwood in the attached picture. Elwood's wife had in her possession a striped rose, supposedly passed down from the War of the Roses in England, possibly through the Coate side. She gave starts to her ch. This tradition has occurred clear up to the present with the striped rose being in the hands of the current day descendants, Gene and Nancy Stormer. They have passed on some of these rose starts to me.

One of my E-Mail correspondents has an ancestor who was about the same age as Edward. His name was Richard Mercer/Messer. He married Hannah Shatswell of Hingham, MA. They lived in Haverhill, MA where Richard died on April 29, 1671. He poy was the son of Abiel who came from Dunstable, England on the "Defense". This branch of Mercers who changed their spelling to Messer, lived in Hingham, Haverhill, Methuen, and Andover, Massachusetts and then moved to New Hampshire and Maine. (C-722)

One researcher is placing Samuel's children in Shrewsbury, Worcester, Massachusetts including a son James born 1722 with all of his children being born there. That means he would have emigrated to Massachusetts before 1722. I have checs DNA (A711521 at Gedmatch) against my mothers and they had no matching segments from 1 cM on up. This is normal for this far back. I need a lot larger sample to determine that he's not our common relative. His death date is listed as 1729 or 1749 in second hand trees.

One researcher on the net says that he died in 1880. He is the A.D. Coate that is in the 1880 census for Mercer County, Ohio. He went by David Coate/Coats in the 2 previous census records to that. His birthname though was supposedly Ds a middle name taken from his mother's maiden name. He enlisted in the Civil War in Company D, Ohio 193rd Infantry Regiment on 11 Mar 1865. He mustered out on 04 Aug 1865 at Winchester, VA. He achieved the rank of Private and was born about 1829 according to his enlistement papers and his name is listed as Abiathar D. Coate.

One source of unknown origin, gives Mary's burial date as 7/30/1719, before she married Mr. Sands. Her marriage that takes place in 1720 can be verified with a copy of the original Quaker marriage record at the Coats Family Archives proy Charlotte Coats Siercks. She is listed as the daughter of James Coates, deceased (late of Philadelphia). The 1719 death date for her, therefore, has to be wrong. Witnesses at their marriage in the closest relatives column included John Sands (her brother-in-law?), Abraham Cowgill (her husband's 1st cousin through his mother's side), James Coate (her brother), Elizabeth Coate (a possible sister, sister-in-law or her cousin Elizabeth, d. of Samuel), Henry Coate (1st cousin through Uncle Samuel or her Uncle Henry), Sarah Laine (1st cousin through his mother's side), Caleb Rapier (husband of her 2nd cousin Mary Coate), Mary Rapier (2nd cousin, d. of Marmaduke and Ann Pole Coate), Henry Clothier (cousin as son of Sarah Jane Coate and James Clothier of Somersetshire Co., England), William Coate (cousin through Uncle Samuel) and Edmund Cowgill (1st cousin to her husband through his mother's side) in that order. This list gives several wonderful clues. Why aren't her siblings, John and Ann or her mother Mary in the list? John and Ann were deceased by that time. It's likely as well for her mother Mary. Are the James and Elizabeth Coate possibly her siblings that were also not named in her father, James's Coate's will? I theorize that James and Mary did probably have a son James and possibly another daughter Elizabeth. There isn't any other James that I've found that could account for the James who is high up on her witness list. Elizabeth might be this James's wife or she could be another sister of Mary.

One Teague researcher states that Joseph and his brother Furnas were both born and died in 1796. I'm assuming that meant they were twins, but as you can tell, this greatly differs from info on my other sources.

Osborne (Osbwrn, Osbern, Wyddel) was born in Ireland, but moved to Wales in 1260. Wales was the land of his ancestors, his fourth greatgrandmother Gladys and his third greatgrandmother Nesta were Welsh Princesses. By marriage and/or by grsborne obtained extensive possessions in Co. Merioneth in North Wales including the present mansion of Cors-y-Gedol. It's interesting to note that he is the ancestor of the Yales in the direct male line. (C-437 p. 572)
