401 Alemar/Alemarus was given land by William the Conqueror for his services in helping defeat King Harold, the Anglo-Saxon in 1086. This land is in Tilton in Rutland, co. Leicester., England according to the famous Peerage and Baronetage book915. He is listed as the illegitimate son of William the Conqueror is some 2nd hand sources, but this is highly in question. This Digby family went by the name of Tilton when their estate was in Leicestershire under the reign of King Henry II. Under King Henry III, they moved to Digby in Co. Lincolnshire, England instead.

Alemar's son in Jospeh Digby's book was Esquire William De Digby. In the genealogy produced in the 1500 or 1600 by the Digby family (currently housed in the genealogy collection at Castle Dublin) using their original land grants, wills etc. the oldest listed known Digby was Esquire De Digby De Tilton who was the father of Esquire William. His first name is unreadable, but is Everard according to the most extensive of early genealogies in Burke's "A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain, V. 4. It was hired to be researched by Kenelm Digby in the year 1634 for the cost of 1400 pounds in that day.

Summaries of this early genealogy are given by Pennant in his tour from Chester to London sometime after the year 1634. The document on animal skin that I copied from a Mormon microfilm could easily be the same 1634 document that Burke is referring too. It is extremely faded and very difficult to decifer. Burkes' and the vellum manuscript basically agree except for Esquire William's wife's first name. (C-2162, 2163)

Alemar is the father of the Esquire De Digby De Tilton listed at the top of the 1500's manuscript which would also account for a normal time chart of the births of the next several generations. He is also listed as Everard's father in Burke's book sourcing the 1634 history above. Joseph Digby gives two sons for Alemar named Everard and William.

402 Alexander Hamilton, the subject of the very popular Broadway musical, is a cousin to my father's side of the family. He was a brilliant, passionate man who was the aide to General George Washington, a Major General in the Revolutionary War, and our countries 1st Treasurer. He literally created and organized our monetary system.

He had a life of many challenges, losing his son and his own life to duals. Aaron Burr was the person that shot him. 
HAMILTON, Alexander 1st U.S. Secretary of the Treasury (I8061)
 
403 Alexander migrated to Kentucky in Dec. of 1787. His marriage and death date usually given in Augusta Co., VA should be in question. (CL-391) CURRY, Alexander (I12275)
 
404 Alexander Underwood, born in Maryland, settled in London Grove, (Warrington MM), Chester Co., PA in 1722, multiple years after his marriage to Jane Harry. He had the land in London Grove Twp. surveyed in 1720. He obtained a deed for then 1722 after his father's death. He was a witness to multiple marriages in the Chester Co., PA region, in 1728 at a Nottingham marriage, in 1731, 1734, 1735 and 1738 in London Grove MM, and lastly in 1734 in New Garden MM. (C-942)

He was a devout Quaker, a Friends Minister for 22 years and named an Elder on Nov. 31, 1735. In 1742 he sold his land to William Boyd. They then moved to Warrington, York Co., PA (Sadsbury Monthly Meeting Territory) in 1743. His wife, Jane, di
ed shortly after this move. On the 3rd month, 28th, 1743, he, Robert Conners, William Underwood and their families requested a Certificate of Removal from the Sadsbury MM (then including York Co. PA). Alexander got a certificate of removal to Monocacy Meeting in Prince Georges Co., Maryland on Sept. 2, 1745. He returned to Sadsbury MM on Aug. 3, 1747 in York Co. where Alexander was recommended as minister. He married Sarah Boatwater Beals, widow of John Beals, after Sarah had gotten her children's permission. They married after he received a certificate from Warrington to Fairfax Meeting dated 2mo. 16, 1748. Sarah was probably in her 60's at the time.

Sarah died prior to Alexander as she was not mentioned in his will. She is last recorded on Sept. 12, 1761 when she was succeeded as "overseer". He, Samuel and William Underwood (probably his sons) pledged money to help buy the land for the Warrington Monthly Meeting while attending Sadsbury MM in 1745. (C-429) His will, dated May 28, 1767 is likely filed at York Co., Pennsylvania

Some of Alexander and Jane's children moved to Delaware and their records may be found in the northern County of a Quaker Record Holding Place. The Book "The Underwood Families of America, Vol. 2:" carries the males lines forward sometimes to the 1900's. As for Alexander's ancestry, it states that it descended from Samuel Underwood of New Castle Co., Del. in the late 1600's. It is fairly definite Samuel was from Maryland, descended from Thomas Underwood of Anne Arundel County, Md. (C-260)

There is some controversy on his daughter, Mary's mother. One out of six major works on the Underwood families believes that Alexander had an unknown wife before he married Jane Harry by whom he had Mary. CD-100 gives his only wife's name as Mary Jane Underhill. This is actually the wife of his grandson Alexander. (C-533)

The mix up in number of wives is due to a literal translation of a Quaker eulogy on Alexander Underwood. However, all other major sources disagree with parts of the eulogy. It was written by friends of his and approved on the 5th mo. 7, 1768, many months after his death when all of his children lived elsewhere and his wife had passed away. It is poorly written with another blatant error, that his parent's weren't Quaker. They feel they confused his adulthood move with the time of his marriage.

The eulogy from which this confusion rises follows: Alexander Underwood was born in the Province of Maryland in the year 1688. His parents who were not members of the religious Society of Friends, removed when he was young and settled in New Castle on the Delaware (when Alexander was about four years old). Here he continued to reside until he reached the thirty-fourth year of his age, when he married and removed to London Grove Township, Chester County (Pennsylvania). Here he became acquainted with Friends and in a few years afterwards he became convinced of the Truth of the principles professed by them, and was received into membership with them. (The timing of these last two statements is not accurate when checked against the time he was a recorded member verses his marriage and move. [C-635, p.21]) By faithfulness to that which led him into the way of the Truth, he grew in religious experience, and became a valuable member of the Church Militant. In a very few years he was appointed Elder, in which he conducted himself with reputation.

About the year 1743, he believed it right to remove to Warrington, where he resided the rest of his life. In a year or two thereafter, a gift in the Ministry of the gospel was committed to him, in which he endeavored to be faithful. Besides his earnest labors among neighboring meetings, he twice visited the meetings to the south as far as North Carolina, and brought back comfortable accounts from his Friends there of his labor of love amongst them. He was a good example of humble waiting in religious meetings, and by dwelling near the Fountain of Life, he was enabled, when called into service by his divine Master, "to minister suitably to the situation of the Church, the comfort of the true mourners of Zion, and the encouragement of the faithful."

He was diligent, as the way was inwardly opened therefore, in visiting meetings around, and was ever careful to maintain the good order of the church, by having the unity of his friends with his prospects. Toward the end of his life, his strength of body failed much, yet he continued of a clear mind, and sound and lively ministry, visiting even in his weakness some of his neighboring meetings, and families of friends. In these exercises, his labor of love was truly comforting to the living.

During his last illness, he was resigned and cheerful. At one time he said "He had the good company of his Master to comfort him in his affliction." On another occasion he remarked, "He could say with the Psalmist that he good Hand that was with him in his younger years, had not forsaken him now in his old age." At different times he signified to those who visited him, "that he still felt the Comforter with him," and said his day's work was done. A short time before his close, "He sang praises and hallelujahs to his great Lord and Master," and then he prayed earnestly for the little handful. He took an affectionate leave of those present, and in a sweet frame of mind, uttered praises until his voice was lost, he quietly and joyfully departed Tenth month, 31st, 1767 and was inter'd the 2nd of the eleventh in the seventy ninth year of his age. May we who are left behind, be engaged to follow his example so that our end may be like unto his. (C-635)

The evident errors in this eulogy are in the timing of events in his earliest life. He moved to London Grove in 1722, and there is no record of his marriage to Jane Harry in the New Garden meeting house in the year 1722 where he was a member. By all known information, Jane was his first wife and they had married a good eleven years previous to that date. These errors are understandable when it's known that they were coming from friends memories. 
UNDERWOOD, Alexander * (I12113)
 
405 Alexander was born in either Scotland or Ireland. He was disowned by the Quakers in 1719. (C-1434, 2053) FRAZIER, Alexander Frayzer Or (I16071)
 
406 Alexander, called "de Ergadie" KnightMac dougall of Lorn, was known territorially as 'de Ergadie,' The Macdougalls of Lorn were descended from the eldest son of Somerled. During the thirteenth century this family was probably the most powerfl in the West Highlands on both land and sea. Their ships traded to English ports, including that of Bristol. In 1284 the head of the family was Alexander of Lorn who, in that year, sat in the assembly which settled the crown on the Maid of Norway. His wife was a daughter of Sir John Comyn and an aunt of the Red Comyn slain by Bruce at Dumfries. It is probable that the family's intense and persistent opposition to the cause of Bruce was a result of that event. They were his bitterest enemies in Scotland, and he narrowly escaped death at their hands during the retreat from Methven in 1306. Sir Alasdair MacDOUGALL of Argyll a.k.a. Sir Alexander d. 1310occ: 4th Chief of Clan MacDougall; 4th Lord of Lorn; 4th of Dunollie m. COMYN of Buchan. ALEXANDER (I16804)
 
407 Alfred became known as A. George in the city directories by the time he married around 1902. My father knew him as Uncle George. He is listed as a paper hanger in the 1900 U.S. census. He is listed as living in the following addressese Dayton City Directories: 1900-1902: (painter living with father at 411 N. Main St.), and 1902-1908: Assembler having a home at 447 S. Quitman, (C-98). By 1914 he and his wife are missing from the directories. According to my father, his wife was German and he couldn't understand a word her family spoke. He eventually joined the First World War in Canada to fight the Germans. Afterwords, he basically left his wife and was living in Detroit, Michigan where he raised a second family. STEVENS, Alfred George (I11994)
 
408 Alfred reigned as King of England from 871-899. He defeated the Danish in their attempt to conquer England at Edington in 878. He enabled the Danes to keep conquered territories in Mercia and East Anglia if the Danes' King Guthrum converted to Christianity. He then fortified against futher Danish invasion by building a navy of ships to defend himself along the southern coast as well as forts along Wessex. This apparently was needed from the years of 885-886 and again in 892-896. In 886, he gained London as a territory of England. He controlled all of England except for the territories held by Danes. (C-865, 1857)What the military strength of this "Great" King enabled him to do was to spread an amazing idea at the time that helped the world move forward. "Alfred considered learning and literacy to be crucial for the acquisition of wisdom and therefore necessary for men to live in accordance with God's will. During his reign he insisted that freedmen of adequate means learn to read English, and he himself translated Latin texts into the vernacular for the benefit of his people" Encyclopedia Britannica. Alfred "The Great" (I7640)
 
409 Alfred the Great's lineage can be traced back to the recorded history of the Bible clear back to Adam and Eve. You can take it as you will for the truth of it. One example is at ancestrees.com. OF WESSEX, Alfred the Great (I1521)
 
410 Alfred was a bone dealer in the 1881 census for Darlaston, England. His parents are listed as James and Sarah Barnsley Dimmack in his death record in West Virginia. It says he was born in the same place as his likely brother, Ephraim was listed as Hayden Hill, co. Worcester, ENG which was probably on the border of co. Worcestershire. I say this because his brother Ephraim by the same 1881 census says he was born in Aydenhill, Stafforshire, England which I believe is the same place, spelled phonetically. I haven't been able to find it's locality on the Internet but the border areas changed counties often according to my research. He and his family lived at Herbert Park, 2 House Jones Blds., Darlaston, Stafford, England.

His name was spelled Dimmack in his likely marriage record which occurred in Wolverhampton Parish, England though in the census it was spelled Dimmock. His wife and children immigrated in Nov./Dec. of 1881, so it is likely that he immigrated before them between the taking of the census and Nov. of 1881 when they are listed as passengers on the "City of Chester".

They are listed as brothers if they are the Alfred and Ephraim who were sons of James and Sarah Dimmock in the 1851 census for Rowley Regis, co. Worcestershire, England. They both were the older generation in the Wheeling, West Virginia directories by virture of the fact that they both owned a similar business and their own residences --- or at least they weren't boarders any longer.

Alfred is listed as a dealer in cotton rags, wrought and east iron scraps, old rope, bones, gum shoes, etc. In 1888, his location of his business and his home was the same at 2406-2408 Chaplline, Wheeling, WV. By 1892-3, his business included: metal refiner and smelter, mfr. plumbers' solder, babbitt metals... also dealer in cotton and woolen rags, tailors' clippings, rope, rubber, zinc, lead, heavy and light brass, coper, wrought and cast iron, stoves, heavy lump steel, heavy lump cast iron, steel scrap, bones, .... ect. He is listed as an Iron Dealer in his death record.

411 Alice died young. (C-1613) COATES, Alice (I1066)
 
412 Alice la Zouche is listed as the mother of Orabella/Arabella in most sources so far but her name is listed as Alice Noel, Sir William's second wife, in CD-100. (C-1367) According to "The Magna Charta Surities", Alice la Zouche isghter of Roger La Zouche, not the granddaughter through son Alan, as previously stated. (C-1368) LE ZOUCHE, Lady Alice (I12952)
 
413 Alice neeDryby's ancestry goes back through the Kings of England starting with King Edward I "Longshanks". She was known as "The Lady of By Tham." (F-511) NEEDRYBY, Alice (I14170)
 
414 All historical research led us to believe that our Coate line went back through this Henry to his father Marmaduke. We now have a wonderful YDNA match from a cousin in Australia whom has only 1 point out of 37 DNA points different from us. It proves we descend from this Henry Coate, The Elder, who is the most recent common ancestor we have in common. I am so grateful for this. We finally know for certain after 40 years of research via DNA. How truly wonderful! We have support from a 2nd cousin whom also descends from Henry via YDNA and historical documentation.

He is often called Henry "the Elder" or Henry C. in family member trees. I have seen no actual proof of either. It's possible that he is the Henry "The Elder" listed as the father of an Elizabeth when she married John Podger in Burton, Drayton, England, but this remains to be proven. John or Elizabeth Podger or their children are NOT in this Henry's will. I have therefore given him the name Henry Coate of Hambridge to distinguish him from the Henry of Burton in Drayton Parish, Somerset, England.

Henry named 5 children in his will, among them Marmaduke and John. He wrote his will on Aug 8, 1661 in Hambridge, Curry Rivel Parish, England and is listed by the title of Yeoman. It was proved in January of 1663 at Taunton. Henry Coate of Hambridge in the Parish of Curry Rivel within the County of Somerset, Yeoman, by his will gave: To his son Henry "wearing apperel and one pair of boots and 20 pounds." To his son John "four score pounds and one bedstead voer the entry and my best feather bed with one pair of sheets, one pair of blankets and cover bed and two bolsters there unto belonging": and several other articles of furniture, etc. Unto his daughter Rachel 10 shillings, Unto his daughter Mary 10 shillings, Unto his grandchild Jane Counsell 8 pounds, Unto grandchildren William Sugge, John Perry, Henry Perry, John Jermane, Jonathan Coate, Mary Coate, Elizabeth Coate, Mary Sugge, and Edith Coate 20 pounds each Unto Jane Rowsewell his grandchid one shilling. The rest of his goods and chattels he gave to his son Marmaduke whom he made sole executor of his estate. (C-253c) His known 3 sons all became Quakers through marriage in some cases and some of his daughters. They typically attended the Kingsbury Episcopi Monthly Meeting which was fairly small. They all had interconnections as their children married. The burial page for this monthly meeting in the Somerset Quarterly Meeting Records for the Southern Division included less than 30 people most of whom became related as they married. One small family of Humphries were amongst this group, Elizabeth Humphrey marrying John Coate. Other Coate's that remained in Curry Rivel, England remained faithful to the Church of England in that time period. The fact that the will remains means that he was considered one of the wealthy and his will had been transcribed in another site saving it from the bombings of World War II.

I am descended through his son John married to Elizabeth. As for autosomal DNA we also have small segment matches because of the distance back in time. A cousin is descended through the Marmaduke married to Edith that I have sorted as the son of this Henry Coate named Linda Midgett W. Blum. I'd like to know if we and a Joseph Edge are related through DNA as he descends from Marmaduke and Edith Coate. I have found an autosomal DNA triangulation with cousins who descend from this Henry through other children than I do. It is considered tentative back in this period of time because of the small size of the shared DNA and distance in time. They are 7th cousins to my Uncle for Henry Coate 1595, chromosome16, segments 28234964-34708422 7C, Gedmatch Kits M935084, Z397630, A497476. In any case, Y-DNA has now proved the connection so the autosomal DNA is just icing on the cake.
 
COATE, Henry * "The Elder" of Hambridge (I16542)
 
415 All Leslie families of Scotland descend from Bartholomew. He was land and given the title of Leslie from King Malcolm II soon after his arrival in Scotland in 1067 for his intelligence and strength in battle. He was given the name Lesliuse his horse gave out on the less and lay(ed) down in the spot where he was given conquered lands.

Leslie Castle, Aberdeenshire, Scotland exists upon the very land first granted to our Leslie progenitor, Bartholomew. "The original castle built by Bartholomew would most likely have been of wood, a motte and bailey type of castle, popular at the time. At some point, a stone castle was erected which was then refurbished by the Forbes family in about 1661. It fell into ruin, and was later beautifully restored to its former glory by David Leslie and his wife, Leslie Leslie, said restorations being completed in 1989. While it was enjoyed by many as a hotel for a time, it is now in private hands and not available for tours. The castle is an L-plan tower, with many defensive features, and a very unique staircase in the square tower which cleverly provided light upon the treads, by way of lamps lowered into a central column which shone thru various openings upon the stairway. The lamps were attached to a chain, which was raised and lowered much like a bucket in a well." 
LESLIE, Bartholomew 1st Lord of Leslie de Lesslyn (I16838)
 
416 All of Sir John's sibling's birth dates are estimated at about 1427 in UA CD 100. (F-599) His wife's name or a second wife's name might have been Elizabeth (Isabel) Hamerton instead as his wife is listed as Isabel Hamerton, d. of Lawrencerton in Vandiver's book on the "Southern Genealogies of the Mallory's...". (F-607, 628) MALLORY, John Knight (I7938)
 
417 All of their children died in 1776 according to Find-A-Grave. BAKER, Bolin (I11552)
 
418 All the children of Ivan and Yulianna Pipik are verified as their children in Byzantine Christening records.
He lived in house 28 next to Janos and Maria Miklotsik Dudik (House 27) in the Byzantine Church Records. He died in house #27, indicating a close relationship between the 2 families. He was 45 at the time. He is the only Dudik in Nevicke by age that might be the father of my children's oldest known ancestor, Andras Dudik, b. abt. 1830. He is the one born in 1811 and died in 1857 in the records.

Stefen and Anna have the possibility of being Ivan's brother Georgy's children instead by age. We do however have patterns that Janos born in between these 2 Dudiks lived next door to Isaac and was where Isaac actually passed, indicating a father son relationship by age and location.

We have good indication that Mihael, Yosif and Varvara are siblings as they all lived in house 38 at one point in time. Gyorgij, b. abt. 1822, could have been an Uncle by age to Mihael, Yosif and Varvara as he got married in house 38 at age 34 to Anna Chiprich. He moved to her house 63 after that. He was born too early to be a child of Ivan, but is his likely brother instead. The fact that Gyorgy is not listed as a widow means that he did not marry until he was 34 years of age. He named one of his children Ivan after his likely brother. The simplest explanations seem to be best in theory. 
DUDIK, Ivan * House 27\28 (I9798)
 
419 All the members of the Leslie family of Barbados were from the Leslie's of Kincraigie, Scotland according to Claude Henry Forte in the early 1900s. (F-604) According to Nigel Forte, parents of William are John Leslie and his second wifohn is listed in the 1679 Barbados Census records. Captain John Leslie lived in Barbados, St. Johns parish in 1679/80 owning 55 negroes, 4 bought servants and 60 acres of land. Several Estwickes served under him. Probably this John Leslie is the John that helped take the census for St. John's Parish in 1679. He is also the probable father of John Leslie who was baptized Oct. 3, 1678 in St. John's Parish. (F-397)

On May 12, 1703, a John and William Leslie witnessed a deed for William Marshall and Martha Mills, widow of St. Joseph Parish. (F-309) John could be a parent or brother to our William. He is named as the brother-in-law to William Collymore in William's 1705 will.

On July 2nd 1726, William Leslie, of St. Johns Parish received slaves from Enoch Grettan, Samuel Forte, & Jane his wife (formally called Jane Gretton-sister of Enoch Gretton and Enoch Forte), son of Samuel Forte and Jane his wife. v. 36, p.83 (F-309-310) William was a member of the Council of the Island of Barbados. (F-458) He held the title of the Honorable William Leslie. (F-462) He was Colonel of the Militia and a descendant of the Leslies of Scotland. (F-462) 
LESLIE, Colonel William (I16212)
 
420 All titled Howards are descendants of this Thomas. He achieved the title of Sherriff of Norfolk and Suffolk in 1476. He was named Knight of the Bath in 1478 and became MP for Norfolk in that same year. On the same day that his father wed Duke of Norfolk on Jun. 28, 1483, Thomas received the title of Earl of Surrey, a Knight of the Garter, and a member of the Privy Council. While participating in the Battle of Bosworth, he was wounded and taken prisoner afterwhich he spent 3 years in the Tower. When he was released, his wife's lands and his earldom were returned. As he gained King Henry VII's trust, all of his titles and possessions continued to be returned. In 1513, under his command, the Scottish borders were secured by the defeat of the Scots at Flodden. This added the crown of Scotland to his crest. He became known as "The victorious Surrey of Flodden Field." Surrey is an honorary battle title of similar meaning to Earl. (C-862) In 1514, he was named the 2nd Duke of Norfolk. He was the grandfather of two of Henry VIII's wive's, Queens Anne Bolyne and Catherine Howard. HOWARD, Thomas 2nd Duke Of Norfolk (I6033)
 
421 Also known as "The Black Prince", he fought gallantly at his father's side at age 16. His will is as follows: "We, Edward, eldest son of the King of England and France, Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, and Earl of Chester, the 7th June, in our apartment in the Palace of our Lord and Father the King at Westminster, being of good and sound memory, and We bequeath to the altar of Our Lady's chapel at Canterbury two basons with our arms, and a large gilt chalice enamelled with the arms of Warren. To our son Richard the bed which the King our father gave us. To Sir Roger de Clarendon a silk bed. To Sir Robert de Walsham, our Confessor, a large bed of red camora, with our arms embroidered at each corner; also embroidered with the arms of Hereford. To Mons. Alayne Cheyne our bed of camora powdered with blue eagles. And we bequeath all our goods and chattels, jewels, and for the payment of our funeral and debts; after which we will that our executors pay certain legacies to our poor servants. All annuities which we have given to our Knights, Esquires, and other [of] our followers, in reward for their services, we desire to be fully paid. And we charge our son Richard, on our blessing, that he fulfil our bequests to them. And we appoint our very dear and beloved brother of Spain, Duke of Lancaster; the Reverend Fathers in God William Bishop of Winchester; John Bishop of Bath; William Bishop of St. Asaph; our Confessor, Sir Robert de Walsham; Hugh de Segrave, Steward of our Lands; Aleyn Stokes; and John Fordham, our executors. In testimony of which we have put to this our last will our privy seal, Proved 4 idus June, 1376." PRINCE OF WALES, Edward Of Woodstock (I12880)
 
422 Also known as Eleanor Plantagenet, she has an alternate death date of 1215 in Warren's book entitled "King John". (C-433) OF ENGLAND, Eleanor (I12844)
 
423 Also known as John Plantagenet, John reigned from May 27, 1199 till his death on Oct. 18-19, 1216. (C-437, p. 590) He was the youngest son of Henry II and Eleanor. His birth date is also listed as 1167 in CD-102, Warren's book "King John"., and the "Kings and Queens of England and Scotland." He was an unpopular King largely due to the fact that he was not the great fighter kings were expected to be at the time. He is listed as hedonistic, unstable and unforgiving. At the same time he was highly intelligent, efficient, sophisticated, well educated in law and government and he loved to read often carrying books with him on his travels. Much of his troubles sprang from problems that grew during his father's and brother's reign. He lost ground to Phillip II of France. He lost political power with the Pope. His barons rebelled and forced restoration of feudal rights in the document called the Magna Carta. (C-485, Grolier Ency., C-433, C-489, 567-8)

His will is as follows: "I, John, by the grace of God King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy and Acquitaine, Earl of Anjou. Imprimis, I will that my body be buried in the church of St. Mary and St. Wulstan of Worcester. I appoint the following to be my executors: G. by the grace of God Cardinal of St. Martin, and Legate from the Apostolical See; P. Bishop of Winchester; R. Bishop of Chichester; S. Bishop of Worcester, "fratrem Aimer de St. Maura"; W. Marshall, Earl of Pembroke; R. Earl of Chester; William Earl Ferrers; William Bruwne; Walter de Lacy; and John de Monemut, Savaricum de Malo-Leone; Foulk de Breante." 
LACKLAND, John King Of England (I12451)
 
424 Also spelled Barren and Barrum. He probably died before 1810 when the heirs of Little John sold land they had inherited. He was the only son-in-law not listed and his wife was known to be dead by that time. (C-1599) BARRON, John (I14522)
 
425 Also spelled Ethelwulf, he reigned as King of England (also King of Wessex) from 839-856. (C-865, C-2425) This is the information provided by Brian Tompsett on his Royal geanealogy site: "Reigned 839-856 (abdicated). Under-king of Kent9 and 856-858. Renown for his military prowess, he reputedly defeated 350 viking ships (851). He reduced taxation, endowed the Church, made lay lands inheritable, and provided systems of poor relief." Aethelwulf Aethelwulf King Of England (I12929)
 
426 Also spelled Hnabi, he was the Duke of Alamannia and count of Linzgau in 709, 720 and 724. (C-1440, F-515) DUKE OF ALEMANIA, Nebi (I16349)

428 Also spelled Wilbraham. DE WILBURGHAM, Thomas (I12780)
 
429 Although he originally came to Massachusetts, by 1637 he served in the Pequot War of 1637 while living at Hartford, CT. He was among the founders of Norwalk, CT. Thomas had more than one wife. His first was apprenticed as a child. Theohn Eliot is quoted as saying they both "lived well approved by the saints." Only his son John's name is known of his probable children. HALE, Thomas (I205)
 
430 Although her birth date is often calculated as 1751 placing her as the 3rd daughter, she is likely the eldest daugther as she would have had that rank being named after her maternal grandmother. She also was married 1st out of her sibli
 
HOOVER, Elizabeth (I8190)
 
431 Although her name in 2nd hand sources is given as Oldridge, it is listed as Alvord in her and her husband's family bible. There are Alvords in Genesee, New York where her husband is supposedly born. ALVORD, Samantha (I9)
 
432 Although his brother Richard, heir to the Earldom, lost his title and lands when he revolted against the King, William obtained the Estate of Groby in Leicestershire from his mother and some additional lands from his father. (F-520) DE FERRERS, William (I14351)
 
433 Although I've seen second hand sources stating that Joseph and family immigrated to Philadelphia, PA in 1704, there is a deed record dated Dec. 2, 1696 where a Joseph Coolsen witnesses the sale of 8 acres of land by Randolph Croxen ofr (Co., PA) toThomas Powell in Chester Co., Pennsylvania I know that the spelling varies, but that spelling was only phonetic in those days. I personally believe that this Joseph is one and the same as our Joseph. (C-2136) At any rate, Joseph received a license to run a tavern or inn on March 28, 1704. He is on record as having sent one of his children to study at school with Pastorius, the founder of Germantown. He paid into the school fund from 1706-1708. Joseph and Margaret's children were Thomas, Margaret, and Samuel. Samuel died at age six weeks. A second son born in 1748 was also named Samuel. Both Margaret and Thomas raised large families, some of whose ancestors intermarried. At the marriage of Margaret Coulson to John Coppock, Joseph and Margaret were listed as Margaret's parents of Germantown, Philadelphia, Province of Penn. Her parents were already deceased at this point in time though the marriage record does not state that. Her parents are, however, missing from the witness list for the wedding as would be expected. (C-467, 2020) He is buried at the old Hood Cemetery in Germantown. Up till 1920, his stone was still visable and was the oldest standing in the cemetery. It's inscription read, "Here lyeth the body of Joseph Coulston, once husband of Margaret Coulston, Son of Capt. Thomas Coulston of Hartshorn in old Derbyshire, England who departed this life the first day of February 1707/8, ages 38 years and 8 months. It is highly likely that this stone was placed there years after his death as Quakers would not have listed a Feb. date, but a month like 12mo 1707. They also did not use gravestones in the 18th century. (C-2020) Charles Coulson Rich, a well known early Mormon Church Leader, is a descendant of this line. (C-620, 1442) COULSTON, Joseph (I16052)
 
434 Although occasionally Molly is called Mary, her much younger sister was named Mary. (C-1600) Some records state that she and Henry declared their intentions to marry on the 12 m, 12d, 1754 in Kingwood MM, NJ. However, that intentios not list his spouses name to be. When Henry and Molly Pitts children's ages are studied, they do not have children till about 1785... making them a full generation younger than the Henry who wished to marry an unknown person in Kingwood, NJ in 1754. Mary joined the Bush River Baptist Church a month after her husband. "July 11.1801 show 7 persons received by experience Mary Coat, Sarah Conner, Aaron Pitts, Rebekah Johnston, John Johnston, Sarah Williams and James Cole." PITTS, Mary Polly (I13463)
 
435 Although sometimes listed as Hannah, she is listed as Anna Cothran when she married Jesse Coppock, son of Joseph and Jane Coppock in Hinshaw's Union M.M. records for Ohio. COTHRAN, Anna (I16504)
 
436 Although the Park book gives the lineage of Marmaduke Coate to be as chosen, an alternative parentage is in Professor Dornans notes. It states that both Marmaduke and John (who married Elizabeth Humphries) are the sons of John Coate of Currel who married Julian Stone of Martock on July 27, 1628. (C-995) A third alternative is in the United Ancestries Linked Pedigrees on the Automated Archives CD disk 100. According to it, Marmaduke Coate who married an Edith Satterwaite, was born at an estimate of 1643. His parents were John Peter Coate and Emily Jane Buckingham. (C-400)

CD-100 follows the old Coate's genealogy but trys to improve on it's date errors. In this line Marmaduke and Edith Satterthwait had: Archibald, Thomas, Henry, Sampson, Mary Jane, Ann and James (twins), John, Samuel, Sarah Jane, Hannah, Marmaduke, William Peter and Edith. (C-336) Son Marmaduke married Ann Pole. Son Thomas, b. 1641 moved to Ireland to avoid persecution. Thomas's son Moses, b. 1687, married Susannah Weldon, and moved to Pennsylvania founding Coatesville, Pennsylvania. We don't yet have any DNA evidence to confirm or deny this connection to the Moses/Susannah Weldon Coates line. (C-541) Thomas's son's James, b. 1679 and Moses, b. 1687 were threadmakers. This was possibly the beginning of the line related to the two brothers who founded the J & P. Coats Thread Company, James Coats, b. 1803 and Peter Coats, b. 1779. All of Thomas's children, the threadmakers and the founder of Coatesville might be cousins to the Marmaduke who married Ann Pole. (C-418)

Here is why I've chosen the theory I have as to his parentage. 1) This Marmaduke can't be the son of William who named his son Marmaduke and grandson Marmaduke in his 1658 will because of Marmaduke's newly found baptismal record. The baptisms in this family took place while the children were babies of 1 week to a couple months. 2) CD-100 has much 2nd hand sourcing and is full of errors on the Coate line. It said that he was the son of John Peter Coate and Emily Jane Buckingham. We've found NO proof of same. 3) I'm still not ruling out that he could be the son of John Coate married to Julian Stone. The name Julian however, is not carried down in the children's names, nor does it explain a "kinsman" connection between John and Marmaduke that is referred to in Quaker documents of the time. 4) The name of Henry (Marm's possible father) and Edith (his wife) are carried down in this line.

Marmaduke who married Edith was from Hambridge, Somersetshire, England. Though his wife's surname is often listed as Satterwaite or Fell, I believe he is the Marmaduke who married Edith Gilling in marriage records of the area. While his son Marmaduke was young sometime after 1674, he and Edith became "convinced on the truth" and raised their children as Quakers. (C-994)

Marmaduke was an honest, faithful Quaker who suffered over fifteen years in prison for his faith and lost most of his property by fines imposed for his religious beliefs. (C-614e) His prison experience is documented in the following Quaker records:1668: Marmaduke was imprisoned for withholding tithes.1676: "Marmaduke Coate of Hambridge, imprisoned in the 6th moneth 1670 upon an Attachment out of the Exchequer, upon Contempt, as charged, to the Suit of Robert Bambury Impropriator, for not paying Tythes." "Prisoners upon the Account of Truth in the county of Somerset at Ivelchester the 26th Day of the 11th Moneth, 1676."1669-1687: Quaker meetings were literally held at the Ilchester prison for most of this period. The minutes were taken inside this prison.1685: According to a Quaker petition, Marmaduke had been imprisoned for a total of 15 years, 7 months, and 23 days.

He was a prisoner at the time of the proclamation of general pardon by King James, when Friends were released by hundreds. (C-543c,614f)June 22 1686??: This date is very difficult to read in the original Kingsbury Episcopi Monthly Meeting records because the 22 could be an 11 and because someone in dark ink wrote over the original year with the number 7.

He couldn't have died in June of 1687 because his will was probated in April of 1687.1687: Marmaduke's will was proved at Taunton. He is listed as of Curry Rivel. He made bequests to sons Marmaduke and William; daughters Edith, Jane, Elizabeth, and Ann; and widow Edith, the executrice. Note that only one daughter named Jane is listed and we don't know which one this applies too. (It should be noted that only 2 of his daughters, Hannah (died previously) and Anne and son William had their birth records recorded after the fact in the Mid-Somerset Quarterly Meeting records.)

He and his wife Edith, were listed "of Hambrige" when their daughter's, Jane, married in 1686 and Elizabeth, married in 1693. Naturally he was listed as deceased in this 1693 marriage. This is important to note as consistently, he is listed as the Marmaduke "of Hambridge" in the records, meaning that there was only one adult Marmaduke living in Hambridge at the time - even at his death in 1687/1689.

His birthdate has been in question. I've also seen it listed as March 8, 1624 occurring in River, co. Kent, England on a site by Steven T. Ernst at ancestry.com. Please note that there were probably two other marriages for Marmaduke in the Parish of Curry Rivel. A Marmaduke married Ann Lock on June 24, 1651. He also married Joan Woodbourne, d.of John Woodbourne on June 25, 1655. The other possibility is that there were at least two Marmadukes of similar age in Curry Rivel. I find this later idea the most unlikely as town clerks typically distinguished how they described a person if there was a duplication of names in their parish. Also, Marmaduke's daughters names of Ann and Jane would indicate they are all wives of one Marmaduke. Close by in North Petherton, Somersetshire there was another Marmaduke Coat who married Sarah Strong of Curry-Revell on March 9, 1702. (C-995)

I have found a Thomas Coate, son of Marmaduke who was christened in Curry Rivel on Feb. 11, 1659/1660 that could apply to any of these. Marmaduke's death date is listed as 4m 22d 1687 (transcribed as Jun 22,1687 in the Quaker dating system) in the Somerset Quarterly Meeting records for England, but this does not coincide with the probate of his estate which was Apr 4, 1687. Quaker records were often written down years after the fact and are known to have errors. He is listed as Marmaduke Coate of Hambridge in this record.

443 Amos moved his family to Stark Co., Ohio They had 12 children. (C-1602) The following letter was sent by him to his brother (probably Caleb) in 1861 as conveyed in Truman's book and transcribed by Charlotte Coats."Marlborouh, Ohio 8th 1961Dear Brother -I hardly need apologize for my omission in conveying my ideas in answer to they kind epistle of the 4th of 10th mo although my time has been occupied in different spheres; still one of them should undoubtedly have been applied for they special benefit, and I am aware, gratification, but so it is.I can hardly tell the cause, one thing certain thee may rest assured of, it is not for want of kind and Brotherly affections; the warmest degree of love rests between our hearts, and it is a pleasure for me to occupy that thought, in casting reflection on former days Ah, were the times to be lived over again how they might be improved, but the days and years have glided away, and left many a blank, that should have been devoted to the cause of righteousness and left us stars of gratitude to be gaxed at with heavenly joy, and crowned minds with that love by remembrance, that would not be shaded with spots to cause anguish by their not being obliterated in the outset.I am aware that I have fallen far short of the duties that have been incumbent upon me, in the purpose of Creation, and it is a mournful thought when applied to self, when time is nearly in full measure and running over for us, yet, morally speaking we have traveled our Journey in life with good esteem without wilful defect to our fellowmen. A consoling idea; now as our gray hairs are fast wafting away; it is consoling to think that there has been an advocate, pleading within us, and directing to that peace which crowns the mortal soul with those beauties that difnify man and prepare him for the realms of bliss that never fades away.I do really mourn, that so much intelligence as we have in this age is cast ot gratify self, and not applied to that purpose which man was created for that is to glory his Maker. Yet he is dishonored by the worldly, by the laws of the world. The meek and humble that was placed upon the Cross and expired between two thieves, who could have called legions of angels to his assitance, had he been as the rulers of this world, but may "forgive them", was his request. He carried out the nonresistance principle; (which is not a life-taking principle) that is the only platform or conveyance that the Christian can be supported by. His precepts and example and whole life evidently substantiate the fact; for when Cain slew his brother Abel teh great and might Judge, the only righteous, put no the sentence of death upon him, but marked him that none should distrub him.Here is the first murder, an the first Judicial court, with the Judge of Heaven and of earth, who decides for man to live and work out his own Salvation. If our Judges were to take precedence from this court and not from modern laws, happy would be the efffect, but now it's blood for blood; how unrational, unnatural and brutish. We hear it expressed every day, by bloodthirsty men when they are brought to their feelings and saying that it's aweful that Fathers and sons and brothers, in carnage against each other, this is self evident of the unreighteousness of the life-takin gprinciple, for it is murder in taking human life in any case, or human law, for it is written, whence cometh wars and fighting? Come they not of your lust? Yes, self-gratification, the inst of the flesh, of the eye, and pride of life generates animosities and turns love into hartred, and all consequent evils. I received a letter from my dear and kind niece, Lucretia, of the 22nd, 6th month last, which was invigorating to my spririt, with the exception of they judisposition of health which was affecting, but we are liable to afflictions, and our tender nerves worn by age are eaily affected but to be prepared for the torments of this world, of body and mind, is the beauty of this life, and the crown and felicity in that of the future. I must change my theme, as thee wants a genealogy. As thee has mine with the exception of Howard H. Coates, who is 23, and Ridgeway Coates, my youngest child, is near 21 years of age. Moses' wife's name was Mary Ann Young, his youngest child was William C. about 16, and George S. about 6 years of age. Morris's wife's name was Mary Ann Randolph, their eldest son Silvanus about 15, Moses 12 and Evaline 9 years of age. Hannah married Joseph D. Arnold (wh died last 4th month, a fine man he was). Their eldest son James Monroe about 11, Bell 7, Florence 5 and Gertrude 3 years of age. Hayes C., married Emeline Ward, their eldest son, Alfred, about 13, Phebe 11, and Larua 7 years of age. Jesse married Virginia Brown, their eldest Leona Gertrude 11, John 9, Elmer 7, Mariah 5, and Clifford 3 years of age. George married Mary Black, eldest Jane about 9, Harriett 7 Years. Oliver married Catharine Lane, one son Edwin. Mary Ann, married Joseph Constantine Warner, have none living. Howard married Cordelia Hale, one son about 1 year old.I have given a pretty good share, and as near as I can come to ages. Ridgeway is single, is in Indiana, or out west with the (pump patent).Thy son Lewis, was here yesterday, from the South, probably leaves tomorrow for Philadelphia. He has become qutie a southern principled man. I was astonished to hear him on southern topics. I think it a pity such a mind as his sould become so contaiminated with such inhuman principles, but he is not the first nor only one that has been led estray. But as permanently as he is fixed there is a higher story of the mind for him to ascend which will finally have to be inhabited by purer motives, than the present occupied, to gain the point of his noble creation. It is most enough for man to know himself, enough for him to know, but in that stead, he seeks the observation and geography of others, poor human nature, how frail, as not to know what human nature is Vile is the dipsosition that abandons that which is would not be willing to accept, (that is the ation of self love). Lewis may possibly view these lines and he knows how to extend my views. Covetuousness is apt to lead the mind to any length and almost any thing, becaue it is the boon of sin, and the highest seat of Lucifer. I have omitted Amos W. my next after Oliver. He married Ada S. Freer, have one child, Horace Lucian Coates, over a year ago. I have left off housekeeping. Shall make my home pretty much with Amos, at Paris, in this County, 11 miles from here, so letters may be directed here for me. I have not been out this summer with my pump, times are dull, nothing in a manner doing, crops were rather slim in this seciton of most all kinds, the weather being very dry for summer vegetation. All are in pretty good health. Lewis can inform thee I had a pretty hard attack of typhoid this spring, feel pretty well except my old liver complaint. With much love to thee, Lucretia and all they family. affectionate Brother, Amos Coates" COATES, Amos (I14800)
