| 4353 | William purchased 335 acres of land on Reed Creek in Augusta Co., Virginia in 1748 along with his father and brother Patrick in around the same time period. vol25no10pp147_155_462179.pdf This part of Augusta Co., Virginia later becamef Wythe Co., Virginia. According to "Colonial Families of America," he was a Justice of the Peace in South Carolina. His son Joseph was a congressman in 1807 among other distinguished accomplishments. He shares 3 mutations with descendants of the following group of YDNA testers suggesting they are all likely related with the same line of descent. Cousins that match his points at DYS576, DYS534 and DYS 446 are descendants of a William Calhoun 1795-1889, Peter Calhoun, b 1782 in Pa and died in Unionville, Center Co., Pennsylania and a Robert Colhoun/Coquhoun of Ballylennon, St. Johnston, Co.., Donegal, Ireland. https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/calhoun/dna-results They would have similar YDNA to what our James Calhoun married to Else Tharp has. It should mean he is traced incorrectly as our James and Jean Johnston Colquhoun have a totally different haplogroup that doesn't meet up with James Patrick Calhoun's generation till further back in time. We go through Rev. Alexander and he does not. | CALHOUN, William Caldwell NOT the son of James Patrick Calhoun from autosomal and YDNA (I10673)

|
| 4356 | William Vestall, Jr., was raised in Chester Co., Pennsylvania. His family were originally friends from the Newark Monthly Meeting in Pennsylvania. (C-836) According to Gilbert Cope in writing the will for Joseph Woodward of Goshen, he med that William was married more than once. However, only one marriage has been found for him to date, that of Elizabeth Mercer. They originally settled on Brandywine Creek, four miles from West Chester. William was listed as living in Bradford Twp., Chester Co., PA in tax lists from 1715-1726. (C-2251g) His wife, Elizabeth Mercer, was a Quaker. William had apparently become a Quaker by the 2nd Month 5th day, 1729, when he requested a certificate of removal to North Carolina from the Center Meeting House. William moved to Baltimore Co., MD instead after conveying his farm of 174 acres on May 10, 1729 in Bradford Twp., Chester Co., Pennsylvania. The deed for this land did not have it's title confirmed until Aug. 10,1735. William is listed as a carpenter in this record. (C-959) William then purchased 150 acres of land from Patrick Ruark in 1729 which was part of the Hazard track on Swam Creek, Baltimore Co., MD. He sold this land to Joseph Hall on Dec. 27, 1736. He was listed as living in Orange Co., Virginia in the deed records of 1736. He had purchased 275 acres in Orange Co., VA on Oct. 3, 1734. This territory later became Frederick County. (C-826) Elizabeth Vestal requested a certificate of transfer from the Concord Quarterly meeting to the Hopewell monthly meeting in Frederick Co., Virginia (now Jefferson Co., WV) on Sept 7, 1737. Most of the Quaker records for that meeting were destroyed by fire for the first 23 year period in 1759. "J.E. Norris in his HISTORY OF THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY, p.58 states, "William and John Vestal made a settlement at a very early date at Vestal's Gap on the Shenandoah River in Frederick Co., Va. (about 6 miles east of Charles Town). While they were building a stone house they were attacked by Indians and driven across the river to the mountains. When they returned one of them brought a yellowish stone from across the river, which marked the point where they left off building in consequence of the attack. This house still stands but the inscription on one end has been partly obliterated, which has given rise to a dispute as to the name being Vest, Vesta, or Vestal. The author (Norris) has found in the 'List of Surveys made by George Washington for Lord Fairfax' the name three times occurring Vestall." Minnie Speer Boone in OUR FAMILY HERITAGE, p. 63-64, states "On May 10, 1742 a contract was entered into between Thomas Mayberry, William Vestal, John Traden, Richardson Stevenson, and Daniel Burnett for the construction of an iron bloomery for the making of bar iron on the plantation of William Vestal. This contract was recorded in 1744." Quoting Earl H. Davis, 1940, she adds, "This iron bloomery is said to have been the first one erected east of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia (one mile east of what is now Mechanicsville, West Virginia). It was located 7 miles south of Harper's Ferry. It was in operation until after the Civil War. Upon the death of William Vestal in 1745 this land and the Vestal interest in the Bloomery were apparently taken over by his son John. When the land passed out of the Vestal family is not known. One source says that it was after the French and Indian Wars when the family moved to North Carolina. (C-158) The property is now owned by Mr. Ward Funkhouser of Hagerstown, Md. The remains of the old furnace are still standing. The top of each fire place has bars of iron, plates of rusty iron are still firmly holding the stone structure-above one of the fireplaces a cedar tree of good size is growing. The district around the Bloomery is known as "The Bloomery Neighborhood." (C-176) William Vestal did not write a will. His death probably occurred early in 1745. An inventory of his estate was filed in 1746. No property was listed, but instead tools, clothing, livestock and household furnishings. (C-811) His wife, Elizabeth, was named administratrix. She had a bond of 1000 pounds Virginia Currency. No children were listed. (C-845a, 869) | VESTAL, William Jr. * (I15790)

| 4357 | William was a farmer and bought 100 acres near his father on Hunting Creek close to the Holly Springs Baptist Church. Some of his land still belonged to his descendants in 1980. There is a will probated in 1850 in Iredell Co., NC in Will, p. 38 available at the NC State Archives that could be his. (CL-318) His estate was sold off on Mar. 27, 1851. There were seven heirs. | THARPE, William (I13505)

| 4358 | William was a farmer and owned 200 acres in Warrington Twp., York Co., Pennsylvania He and his wife Ruth had 12 children. He or his son is probably the William Underwood who witnessed the marriage of James Wickersham and Sarah Garretsonh d of the 3rd mo 1773 in Warrington M.M., Warrington Twp., York Co. Pennsylvania He was in the friends column. (C-2418) He was in the friends column. (C-2418) He is the William Underwood who attends the marriage of Abel Walker and Ann Vale on the 13th day of the 5m 1773 in Warrington Twp., York Co., PA along with his son William Jr. | UNDERWOOD, William (I12123)
|
| 4359 | William was a renowned English Quaker. He bought 625 acres from William Penn on June 29, 1683 while still in Reading, Berkshire, England. It was located in what became Buckingham Twp., Chester Co., Pennsylvania. He was listed as a "mealt the time of the deed. He conveyed 100 acres to John Brunsden in 1684 before the land was located and surveyed by Brunsden. He conveyed another 100 to his sister, Alice Glover, widow in 1694 or his niece, Alice Brunsden Glover (C-804, 871)) Accounts vary as to whether he lived on this land. It is more likely that his niece, Alice Glover and her husband, John Brunsden were the first to live on the Chester Co. land and that William Lamboll and his wife never came to Pennsylvania. (C-862) | LAMBAL, William (I12030)
|
| 4360 | William was a respected attorney in multiple deed records for this family in Old Rappohanock Co, VA in 1656, and 1657. (C-2394) The following deed applies to the William married to Mary provided by Fran Osborn. "2 Nov 1659. Old Rapck. "I, Will UNDERWOOD of Rappahannock County with the consent of Mary my wife," for the sum of 120 pounds Sterling money paid according to the tenor of a contract dated 30th May 1659 conveyed unto Capt. Richard LOES and Rice JONES a plantation lying on the north side of Rappahannock River.....uppermost half of the lowermost half whereof I formerly sold unto ........eads (mutilated) dec'd this land adjoining the land of Coll FAUNTLEROY known by the name of Mangorick and on the eastermost side of Bushwood Creek and runneth for length into the woods NE and by E and by the River NW and by W, to hold the said plantation thereto with all houses, outhouses Edifices thereon erected (the Courthouse excepted), containing 650 acres or thereabouts, and all gardens, orchards and fences ---- unto the said Capt. Richard LOES and Rice JONES. Teste: John CATLETT and Tho. GOODRICH (Vol. 1656-64, p. 70, Rappahannock Records). " This helps support the theory that William is related to Mary Underwood, wife of Moore Fauntleroy as their land was adjoining. There is strong circumstantial evidence that William, Mary, Elizabeth and Margaret are siblings in the deed and will records for Old Rapp. Co., VA and that their mother was named Margaret who had a 2nd husband named Upton. | UNDERWOOD, William Gentleman (I8139)

| 4361 | William was a Wheelwright. His last name in one source was Wright, but I think this got confused with his profession. (C-253b) | WHITE, William (I12352)

| 4362 | William was an Elder for the Nottingham Meeting and the Little Britain MM. He was buried in the Little Britain burying grounds. (C-1432) | WEBSTER, William (I15880)
|
| 4363 | William was born abt. 1681/1682 because he is listed at age 65 in Aug. of 1747 in a deposition in Talbot County, Maryland.</line><line /><line>William's father died when he was young. His appointed guardian was Robert Erick. Robert was a Quaker and this indicates why William lived and moved among Quakers. (CL-334) He is not mentioned in the records of his guardian, Robert Erick, but by others selling the belongings of orphan, William Tharp. William signs a deed in 1697 in Kent Co., Maryland. This might be land provided by his parents. His parents had sold most of their land in Kent Co., Maryland, but had left some to their son William. He is in court records in the early 1700's, suggesting he had been abused as a servant. His sister, Elizabeth, also was abused in another record.</line><line /><line>It appears that William was an "indentured servant" for his upbringing due to the following court records in Maryland.</line><line /><line>"Thomas Usher being presented by the Orphan Jury in June last for makeing sale of William Thorpe Orphan of Thomas Thorpe </line><line /><line>Command was therfore Given to the sheerif of Kent County the 26.th day of June Anno Dom 1697 that he cause Thomas Usher if he should be found in his Bailiwick so e that he be and appeare before his Maj.ties Justices to Answer att the Next Court</line><line /><line>Att which Court viz the 24.th day of August Anno Dom 1697 the day of Returne of said Writt came Capt Edward Sweatnam high sheerif of sd County and made Returne of sd Writt in these Wordes Following viz Cepi Corpus p Edw Sweatnam sheft</line><line /><line>And now here att this day viz the 25.th day of August Anno Dom 1697 the said Thomas Usher appeares and makeing it appeare to this Court that the said William Thorpe is not sould but now liveing with him it is therfore Ordered by this Court that the said Thomas Usher be discharged from the said presentment Simon Wilmer Clk"</line><line /><line>William William was a planter and cooper in Talbot Co., MD by about 1710. In 1716 he witnessed the will of John Keld, cooper of Talbot County. On Nov. 2, 1717 he purchased 50 acres of land, part of "As" (Austin) from Dennis Larey. It was on a branch of Tuckahoe Creek. He is listed as a taxpayer of Tuckahoe Hundred with 4 taxables (himself, sons John, Thomas and Isaac over age 15) in 1733. William bought 50 acres, part of "Colerain", in 1735 from John Jordan, near Hillsboro in Queen Ann's County, MD which he willed to son Thomas in that year. He lived 13 more years after he wrote his will. On Feb 17, 1742, when the lands of John Keld were divided amongst his 3 sons, one of the witnesses was William's son, Abner Tharp. He was a witness to verify the birth of Esther Arey, d. of David and Elizabeth Arey on 40 years previous to a deposition on Aug. 18, 1747 and one year after David and Elizabeth were married. David and Elizabeth Arey were obviously long time acquaintances or probable relatives. (CL-316) David was a Quaker. William's will dated 1735, is transcribed and forwarded by an unknown researcher as follows. "In the Name of God Amen This 30th day of August in the year of our Lord Christ 1735, I William Thorpe of Talbot County being sick and weak of Body but of Perfect Mind and Memory Blessed be God and calling to mind the Mortality of my body and that is Appointed for all men once to Dye Do make my last will and Testament in manner and form following find and principally I give and bequeath my soul unto the hands of Almighty God hoping for salvation of the same thro' the Merits of Jesus Christ my Saviour and as for my Body I commit it to the Earth to be buried in a Christian and decent manner at the discretion of my Executor hereafter mentioned and as touching such Worldly Estate where with it pleases God to bless me with in life 1 give devise and Bequeath the same in manner and Form following Item[?] I leave and Bequeath to my well beloved Wife Jane Thorpe her Riding Horse Bridle and Saddle with the feather Bed and all the Furniture Belonging belonging there unto which I now lye upon and fifty acres of land Which I purchased of Denis Lary (1) during her life and after her decease to my son John Thorpe and his Heirs forever except one acre which I bequeath for a Burying Place not to be sold or Embossted [? ] moreover my will is that my Wife shall have the free use of and liberty of that Parcell of Land which I purchased of John Jordan (2) During her widowhood and afterwards to return it to my Son Thomas Thorpe and his Heirs forever and my will is that my wife shall have all of the Woolen and Linnen that I have now in my house that was bought for her life Item I leave and bequeath unto my son John Thorpe a feather bed Item I leave and bequeath to my son Isaac Thorpe a mare and colt which he has now in Possession with Bridle and Saddle and one feather bed Item I leave and bequeath to my Daughter Mary Thorpe a young mare colt going in Two years old Item I leave and bequeath to my son William Thorpe a walnut table Item my will is that my four youngest sons Abner, Joseph, Ogle, and William shall be free and at age at 20 years of age if it happens that my wife either marry or dye otherwise to stay with her till full age.

| 4364 | William was disowned in 1781 and his wife Sarah in 1786. In the 1790 census he was listed as Capt. William Vestal. (C-1380) | VESTAL, William (I14192)
|
| 4365 | William was found by DNA thrulines matching to other descendants of Benjamin and Sarah Baker Martin. He was the only one of their sons that could account for our Rhoda Martin's birth. After much research, I was able to find him in Wayne Co., OH by 1820. His daughter, Rhoda, proved via autosomal DNA, got her marriage license with William Harb in Wayne Co., Ohio. Rhoda Martin and William Harb took a letter from the clerk of Wayne Co., Ohio to Montgomery Co., Ohio to verify this when they married in Montgomery Co., Ohio.William's 3 oldest children were already out of the house and likely working elsewhere by the 1820 census. Henry Harland Martin, the oldest son, appears to have stayed behind in Kentucky and married there. William had so many children, he probably had 3 wives instead of the listed 2. That would indicate that Margaret had died before 1854, likely in Ohio. | MARTIN, William * (I11440)
|
| 4366 | William was in New Haven, CT in 1656 as listed in the church seating next to Abraham Dickerman. He took the Oath of Fidelity on 4-7-1657. As a farmer, his property was appraised at a value of F550. (F-405) | CHATTERTON, William (I10049)
|
| 4367 | William was in the Great Revolt of 1173 during which time, his castles were destroyed by the King. He died during a crusade to the Holy Land in the siege of Acre, Palestine. (F-520) | DE FERRIERES, Willian (I14249)
|
| 4368 | William was in the Uwchlan Monthly Meeting when he went to the Abington Monthly Meeting on the 7th mo., 6th day, 1780. (C-2140) There is a possibility that this William Coate married a second wife, Mary Hambleton in Bucks Co., PA by 1799. If it turns out that Rebecca Stalker dies before 1799, I would suggest even more strongly that this is likely. I say this because the William marrying Mary Hambelton names a son Moses. Moses is a common name in this William's family. He lived in Pennsylvania. He was descended from the original Moses and Susannah Weldon Coates in PA and he is the only William that I have been able to find in this time period who could be him in this branch of the family. | COATES, William (I14759)
|
| 4369 | William was supposedly a direct descendant of King Henry II of England. His current day descendants 37 point DNA matches that of Thomas Cornell of Rhode Island's decendants linked via George Cornell, b. 1545 in Faristead Manor, Terllingx, England. (F-669) William, the immigrant ancestor, is first listed in America in the Reverend John Elio's list of the members of his church in Roxbury, Massachusetts as William Cornewell and Joane Cornewell, the wife of William Cornewell, 1633. By 1636, he joined a group of settlers moving to Connecticut according to a "Commemorative Biographical Records of Middlesex Co., CT. (F-576.8) According to an unnamed genealogy on William Cornwell, his parents were William Cornwell and Joan Martyn instead of Margary Hayward and it's source was the Parish Records of Terling. I suspect from other writings that the author was a J. Ferren at Jferren1@cs.com. The Parish records however, only list his father, William. In 1639 when the land records began in Hartford, Connecticut, he was already living there at #54, west of South Street, south from the Lane with eight acres of land in the village. He was not an original landowner of Hartford but was still one of it's earliest residents. He is listed on the Needle Statue at Hartford as one of it's founders. Part of his lands were received for his services in the Pequot War. A land inventory was taken of Hartford in 1639 where he is called "William Cornwell, Sergeant-at-arms". Family tradition according to Edward Cornwall, M.D. in "William Cornwall and his Descendants" in 1901 said that this title comes from the fact that he was a body guard for Charles I before emigrating to the new world, but this has not been proven. All indications from records in England is that he was a farmer, pure and simple. He emigrated to New England about the time he married and became a Puritan. Historian, Christopher Kylin, believes this would have been in the early 1630's. Shortly after his first marriage he traveled to the Americas in search of other opportunities. He is listed as a founder of Hartford in their monument in 1636. He was an Indian Fighter in the territories here, participating in what is now the famous Pequot Massacre of 1637 in Mystic, Connecticut. Under John Mason, he fought along with Sachem Thannough/Hyanno, Chief of the Cummaquid to attack the Pequot Indians. This is where he achieved the rank of Sergeant. He was one of 77 soldiers involved, 58 of them from Hartford, CT under John Mason, and 19 from Massachusetts under Capt. John Underhill. It is statistically likely that William had moved to Connecticut by 1637. In any case, he joined up under John Mason as his troops moved through Hartford on his way to Fort Saybrook. In 1638, he helped negotiate the purchase of Indian lands for the Stratford Colony in Connecticut through Chief "John Hyanno". In 1639, he was granted a plot of land in Hartford and was called the "Sgt." in these records. By 1639, he supposedly had married again by the person of the Christian name Mary. No marriage record exists for this marriage at a time period when all other Puritan marriages were recorded in Hartford, Connecticut. (E) United Ancestries, a professional genealogical research group, published on CD-100 that Mary's maiden name was Hyanno. This happens to be the name of an Indian "Princess", daughter of Sacham Hyanno (whom had died at age 23) of that time period. This was research done for Sharon L. Dodson and they gave her no sourcing for their work. (F-639) Research by Rosalie Hart states that there is a Massachussetts Bay history which states that William Cornwell lived for a time in an Indian village under information on William Lucas. According to her, Naragansset and Wampanoag tribes records include William Cornwell in their traced lineages. These tribes however, are no longer providing information on this connection as they do not want anyone trying to gain claim to their casino profits. I'm sure that's not the interest any of us have to finding our actual ancestors, so it is sad that it prevents the truth from being known. (E) It should be noted that I have found an Indian on the Internet whom has given an oral history of Mary Hyanno as being the wife of an Austin/Augustine Bearce instead living in Hyannis, Massachusetts. He did not know if the oral history was true, but it is the other commonly held belief about Mary Hyanno's familial marriage instead. Hyannis is where Mary's father is in deed records as owning land and that is a good 150 miles from where this William and Mary Cornwell lived. It is entirely possible that Mary Hyanno as listed here was the wife of Austin Bearce insted. Until DNA testing gets refined enough, this will remain a mystery in these 2 lines. In any case, William and his wife, Mary, next were found living in Middletown (Mattabeseck Settlement) on the Connecticut River, fifteen miles below Hartford. He could have actually moved to the Mattabeseck settlement by as early as 1642. It appears that William had some land he was renting in Hartford previous to June of 1644, that he sublet out to a William Lewis. William Lewis defaulted on his payments, for which the landlord, Matthew Allen, sued him. The court case mentions the fact that Mr. Lewis had made arrangements with William Cornwall for the rental agreement. William Cornwell is also involved in court cases in Hartford in the Particular Court on Sept. 6, 1649, and the first Thursday of Dec., 1655. I am assuming that he had to return to Hartford to take up issues with the court as evidence indicates that he lived elsewhere by 1648. (F-576.9) William and Mary moved to the east side of the Connecticut river at Hocanum, an Indian village within the boundaries of Hartford, CT probably years before Mar. 5, 1648. On that date, he indentured his seven year old second son, William, to Susannah Hooker of Hartford, CT for his education. (E) According to the research of Christopher Kylin, he and his sons helped found Middletown and could have been some of it's earliest settlers around 1650 or 1651. They and their eldest son John lived next to each other near the present day corners of Main and Washington streets. (F-322) He owned 5 acres at the intersection of these streets and ten acres across the street from his home as well as 900 acres in Middletown and "a great lot over the Great River." He was granted 903 acres of this land on Mar 15, 1652, and the deed was recorded for it on Feb. 30, 1657. It is interesting to note that his will indicates that he owns multiple acres on Indian Hill (Indian lands before his ownership of them). (F-576) William and family joined the church in Middletown on 3 Dec. 1668 shortly after it was founded. William became a representative from Middletown in the Colonial Legislature in 1654, 1664 and 1665. He was also a constable in 1664. A March 26, 1670 tax list gives 52 house holders in Middletown, CT, including him and three of his sons, the other two having stayed behind in Hartford. He was included in this list even though the General Court in 1667 had freed him from paying taxes, probably due to his age. Sons John, Samuel and William Jr. had accompanied him to Middletown. William's house was taxed or worth 160 lbs. at that time. (F-534) He was 64 when he signed his will in 1674 and he called himself "well stricken in years and much abated in any natural strength." "William Cornwell, Senior, of Midletowne," gave to his son "John Cornwell so much addition to his present house lot out of my house lot as may make up his present house lot the full half of the whole,"..."two acres of the meadow and swap at the riverlet"...and "one half of that wood land in the south division of the land beyond the mill"..the other half of this lot to his daughter Sarah Cornwell, ... to his "son William Cornwell ten acres of of land upon the Indian Hill" as well as "one third part of (his)0 land yet to be divided by the list of 1674 on the east side of the river, the other two thirds of the aforesaid land to (his) sons Samuel and Thomas equally to be divided between them"; to his "son Samuel one hundred acres of my wood lot at the Long Hill, the reminder to go to (his) son Jacob", to his "son Thomas what is aforesaid the remainder of (his) lot at the Indian Hill, the ten acres as above mentioned being taken out of it"; to his "daughter Hester Willcox (his) whole lot lying on the east side of the river"; to his "daughter Elizabeth Hall one parcel of upland lying in the Boggy Meadow Quarter"; to his "loving wife Mary Cornwell (his) house, homestead, all the buildings, household stuff and movables whatsover with the remainder of (his) meadow at the riverlet .. during the term of her widowhood," She was told to maintain their daughter Sarah while she was single; after his wife's decease, he willed the "above mentioned house, household and meadow land at the riverlet to (his) son Jacob Cornwell." Jacob was told to pay his sister, Sarah, "one third part of the valuation of the forementioned housing and land" unless of course his wife remarried. In that case, when she died, their 3 daughters were to have the household stuffs divided amongst them. He signed his name as William Cornell, not Cornwell. In any case, Cornwell in England is pronounced "Cornell". The inventory of his estate on Feb 22, 1677 included a listing of his lands: The house, barn & 3 acres of land, 5 acres of meadow by the ferry, 10 acres of upland at the Indian Hill, 27 acres joining the other, 395 acres beyond the mill, 250 acres at the Long Hill, 65 acres in the Boggy Meadow Quarter, 24 acres over the Great River, 4 acres of pond and a great lot over the Great River. He is probably buried in Riverside Cemetery, though no tombstones exist from that date. (F-322, 576) He actually spelled his name Cornell in all the Middletown, CT deeds and records I'm seen from him there. This William, original immigrant, had a Thomas Cornell follow him shortly after he arrived who settled in Rhode Island. According to a Prentiss Glazier, William is the nephew through a half-brother to this Thomas of MA, NY and Rhode Island . DNA Evidence has now supported this connection. (F-383, 576.6) An LDS family file says that William was married twice, with his second wife being named Mary Bull. This is a mix-up with their son William who married Mary Bull. | CORNWELL, William (I16123)

"William is the first proven English supporter of the crusader Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem and before 1146 had granted them land at Wymondham and built a Leper Hospital near his castle in Norf] His wife, Adeliza, was also a major benefactor to leper hospitals at Wilton, Wiltshire and Arundel[5] and his cousin, Roger de Mowbray and his family, were to become the most significant patrons of the Order's headquarters at Burton Lazars Hospital.[6][7] "Wikipedia" | D'ALBIGNY, William "Strong Hand" (I12514)
|
| 4373 | William was the oldest of seven children and only son born to Andrew and Lola Tobin Clark. He assisted his father in the operation of his store while a youth. When William Edward Clark was dating his wife Grace Evans Clark, he sent her a postcard from Rio Grande to Vinton, Ohio. It is mentioned because it is still in possession of Linda Coate Dudick in the Clark Document File, and because it was so formal, not written on except for William Edward Clark's initials. His future bride obviously saved it as a special memory. During their marriage and lifetime together, he operated a small grocery store in Rio Grande and worked as a carpenter-building many complete homes totally by hand in his Rio Grande community. He also did some farming which helped his daughters feel little effect of the Depression. In the 1930 census for Rio Grande, Ohio, he is listed as a mechanic by trade working in a garage. They owned their home which was valued at $1600.00 at the time. They lived next door to Barbara Tobin. He owned one of the first cars in Rio Grande and ran a kind of "Taxi" service. (C-687) William Clark was a member of the Raccoon Fox Hunters Association. A newspaper clipping in his Memorial book, states that a hunt was dedicated to W.E. Clark, who was one of the "leading fox hunters of Rio Grande." (CL-191a) Another newspaper clipping in Washington's Birthday, 1949 reported that Bill Clark's dog took the lead among 45 hounds and 150 hunters. (CL-DOC) He was also a member of the Simpson Valley Methodist Church in Rio Grande. (CL-DOC) A transcription of a newspaper article in the GALLIPOLIS (O.) DAILY, dated approximately Feb. 19, 1958 follows. The original is in possession of Marcena Clark Coate. "William Clark of Rio Grande Dies Wednesday William (Will) Edward Clark, 74, a lifelong resident of the Rio Grande community died in Holzer Hospital at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. He had been a patient at the hospital since Sunday. He was born at Rio Grande, the eldest of seven children born to the late Andrew and Lola Tobin Clark, on Dec. 7, 1883. He assisted his father in operation of a store in the old Clark home on the college corner in the village. Later (it became the property of) Rio Grande College and is used for dormitory purposes. In later years he was engaged as a carpenter and built several homes in the community. His marriage to the former Grace Evans took place on April 7, 1909, and three daughters along with the wife survive, Mrs. Charles (Wanda) Getz, Mrs. Paul (Avanell) Sunderhaus and Mrs. Albert (Marcena) Coats, all of Hamilton. A grandson, Robert Hall, was reared in their home. Other survivors are six sisters, Mrs. Edith Henson of Rio Grande, Mrs. Mary Lewis and Mrs. Nellie Cottrell, both of Columbus, Mrs. Sophia Liggett of Detroit, Mich., Mrs. Lola Merriam of Adrian, Mich., and Mrs. Wilbur Alban of near Thurman. Clark was a member of the Simpson Chapel Methodist church at Rio Grande and of the Methodist Men's brotherhood and the Raccoon Fox Hunter club. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Simpson Chapel church. Rev. George Holcombe will officiate and burial will follow in Calvary Cemetery under the direction of the Steve Thomas Funeral home. The body will lie in state at the church for one hour before the service. Friends may call at the funeral home in Thurman after 6 p.m. Thursday and until the funeral hour. The family requests that in lieu of flowers that donations be made to the Gallia County chapter, American Heart society." (CL-53b) | CLARK, William Edward (I12637)

| 4374 | William was to marry Rebecca Cawley according to his father's will dated Oct. 30, 1665. It is not known if this marriage took place after his father's death or not. (C-1333b) | COPPOCK, William (I555)
|
| 4375 | William who died in Northern Liberties, in his will he names cousin Warwick Jr. Coates, son of Warwick Coats. Since all the other Williams in this branch of the family are spoken for, I am guessing that he is the son of John Sr. Coats to mm a 1st cousin to Warwick Coats, son of Warwick. Timing, place and relationship to Warwick fit these facts. His will transcription by Charlotte Coats Sierks follows: PA Will Book R, p. 329 #264 William Coate, of the Loures Keys of Northern Liberties, County of Penn, Sadler, wife Martha Coats daughter Sarah, attains to the age of eighteen years, sister Rachel Hartley, Warrick Coate as executor, signed Sept 11, 1779, witnesses Josh Caunias, Isaac Coats, Peter Thomas, probate Jan 28, 1780. If this is his will, then his son George likely died before the making of his will. It is complete conjecture on my part that the William Coats who married a Martha (Pricket) and his possible sister Mary Chinoth is the William who is the brother of John, Abraham, and Isaac. I base this theory on the following reasons. 1) Abraham also lived in Northern Liberties, a region in the city of Philadelphia. 2) Abraham had a brother William of the correct age to be this William. 3) William's wife Martha, lived in Northern Liberties according to his will. | COATS, William (I8736)
|
| 4376 | William wrote his will in Kingwood (formerly Bethlehem Twp.,) Hunterdon Co., NJ in 1775. He had married a Jane Dupuy 3 weeks before making this will in which he named his grown children. He moved to Philadelphia, PA shortly after where hisdren by Jane were supposedly born. He is listed as a tanner of Northern Liberties, Philadelphia in his father-in-law's will written in 1793. He also owned land in Tinicum, Bucks Co., PA which is where he died in 1795. His estate included much land in both the last two places. | COATES, William (I7923)
|
| 4377 | William's birth date varies depending upon the source. His cemetery stone said he died on Mar. 1, 1867 and was age 70 years, 11 months and 2 days. This suggests his birth date was a bit earlier than found in other sources giving him a 1798 birth date. He is buried in the same row with his family. William Harp learned his trade, tailoring, in Philadelphia. He went west and settled in Dayton, Ohio from 1814-1823. He is listed as living in Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in 1835. In 1833 he had moved to West Milton, Union Twp. and remained there until his death. </line><line /><line>In the 1860 census record his property and goods are listed as being worth a little over $4000.00. His daughter and son-in-law Ann and John Secrist lived with he and his wife. (C-79) He was born in Pennsylvania in his son's 1900 census records. (C-32) In the Oct. 1850 census for Miami Co., Ohio, Union Twp., he is listed at age 52, a merchant, b. in Pennsylvania, whose property was worth $300.00 at the time. His wife Rhoda was age 48, a female, b. in Kentucky. The box is checked that they were both married within that year. That doesn't match with other family information we've found. If true, it would mean that Rhoda was not the mother of William's children. Son Jackson Harb was age 25, b. in Ohio and a merchant. Son Lafayette was age 16, b. in Ohio and a clerk by trade. He had attended school that year. Calvin was age 15, with the rest of his data matching his brother, Lafayettes. Daughter, Eliza was 12, Charles was age 5, born Ohio. Note that many of the children were called by their middle names. </line><line /><line>Up to 3 of his children were missing from this 1850 census. William's wife, Rhoda Harb, lived 4 houses away from Johnson P. Mast, another family member, in the 1880, Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio census. She was 77 at the time, born in Kentucky, her father was born in New Jersey and her mother in Kentucky. The census taker marked that she could not write. She was living with Anna E. Secrist, age 41, her daughter, who was also a widow. (C-385) William's son, William B. Harb was a dry goods merchant in Willshire, Van Wert Co., Ohio and had 7 children with Caroline Harper, his wife. (C-387) | HARB, William * (I10369)
|
| 4378 | William's christening date is in question from my point of view. There is a christening record in St. Stephen, Wallbrook, London, England that is very difficult to decifer. It has been indexed as Willisennt Underwood, son of Edw(ard) on, 1606. I suggest that because this is where Edmunds other children were christened that this has been misinterpreted in the index and should actually be William Underwood, son of Edmund. A family tree record gave his birthplace as Kent in 1606 and his christening on Apr. 19, 1612 also in St. Stephen isntead. I do not know which is correct. I have not been able to find an Edward having any other children in St. Stephen other than what is listed as Willisennt. This generation and his children is conjecture on my part from traditions passed down in this family combined with patterns of early Underwoods living in this country. I have found part of the children listed here as children of William Underwood and Margaret Masan in the family ancestral files at www.familysearch.com: Anne, William, Elizabeth, Sarah, Margaret and Mary. However, that source also lists him with 3 wives named Margaret, two of which he married in VA and the 3rd in England. If this is true, then some of them were children of his 2nd or 3rd wife. This family obviously needs work. It's entirely possible that the family that includes William as a child is simply a different branch of Underwoods that does not include our Thomas directly. However, as they have his first wife marrying him in 1621 and they do not have any listed children before 1629, I'm suggesting that Thomas and George also belong in this family. They came over on the same ship at the same time... and both disappeared from Old Rappahonnak Co, VA records after their arrival. There is a tradition passed down in the family that Thomas was one of 3 brothers that migrated together, with all 3 dispersing in different directions after they arrived. Here is a record for a land purchase that William made in Virginia provided at http://www.combs-families.org/combs/assoc/u-1.htm by the COMBS-COOMBS &C. RESEARCH GROUP. "2 Nov 1659. Old Rappahannock. "I, Will UNDERWOOD of Rappahannock County with the consent of Mary my wife," for the sum of 120 pounds Sterling money paid according to the tenor of a contract dated 30th May 1659 conveyed unto Capt.

| 4379 | William's marriage to Rebecca has not been able to be located even after a professional was hired to do an hour's research by Cowes W. Herr. Sources checked included the Marriages (1630-1640) and Baptisms (1610-1620) at the Archive Centehe Norfolk Record Office in Norfolk Co., United Kingdom. (C-2597) | LARGE, William (I7314)

| 4380 | William's parents were not married according to CD-100. His mother doesn't seem to be known for sure. Warren's "King John" seems to imply that it is Rosamund Clifford. (C-433) He was the Earl of Salisbury. | DE LONGESPEE, William (I12568)

| 4382 | William, wife and family lived in Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in the 1850 census records. They had 8 children in this census and William's father, Samuel and William's older brother, Joseph C.Coate were living with them. Joseph is stillg with his brother in the 1850 census where he is listed as idiodic. William and his wife moved to Council Grove, Kansas about 1888 where William is buried. He was a devout Quaker. His wife then moved back to Ohio as she didn't like the storms in Kansas. Coates related to this branch of the family also went to Oklahoma on the 1893 land run. They settled in Newkirk and Ponca City, Oklahoma. | COATE, William (I14218)
|
| 4383 | Williard Heiss says he was born in 1786 instead. Mary Helen Pemberton gives his birth date as 1796. He aparently moved with his brother Joseph to Miami Co., OH and then Marion Co., Indiana where he bought 80 acres of land in Brookvillect on 1/6/1824. This is probably the same land whose purchase he began on Nov. 16, 1822, in Township 17, North Range 4, East - Washington, E 1/2 SW 1/4 Section 29 for 80 acres. This was about five weeks before his brother Joseph also purchased land. He or his brother are not listed of Miami Co., OH when they made the purchase suggesting they had moved with their families to Marion Co., IN and then found land to purchase. I am assuming that he is the same William Coats of correct age and birthplace for he and his wife living in Harrison, Howard Co., Indiana, USA in the 1850 census. If so, they would likely have had children between their marriage of 1817 and 1827 when son John was born. | COATS, William (I14844)

| 4391 | Wright's birth date could easily have been before 1770. He is the only Wright Coats we know of in the area, and he is on one census, 1800's. In it he and his wife are between 26 and 45. They have 2 sons age ten and under, and one daugrom 10-16. According to Daphne they also probably have Mary's sister Rebecca, and mother who had been widowed that year living with them. In the year 1800, Wright Coate (and probably his wife Mary Coate) made purchases of land at Nathan Perry's estate sale in the year 1800. Nathan Perry lived very near the Chandlers and therefore near land belonging to Gentleman John Coates. Wright Coate sold land to his brother, William in 1802 in Newberry Co. The following court record applies to this Wright and several of his brothers as well as a freed slave of his father's named Jesse.LDS Film # 24219 FiledJune 19, 1818 Box 45, No. 1Daniel McMahan Decree -Bill for Injunction Judge W. ThompsonVsJohn O'NeallDaniel McMahan employed Wright Coats and Jesse Coats (a man of color) to carry two loads of cotton to Charleston and to bring back two loads of dry goods. Wright Coats and Jesse Coats did not return to Newberry when expected and Daniel McMahan became apprehensive. He set out to find Wright Coats and Jesse Coats leaving instructions with his clerk Pendleton Pope that if Wright Coats and Jesse Coats returned in his absence, not to pay them. They did return in his absence and Wright Coats received a note from Pendleton Pope for the amount he would be paid after deducting for some goods he took from the store. He said it would be inconvenient for him to return at a later date and that he would send some other person in his place to collect the money. Afterwards Jesse Coats and James Coats applied for the money due to both Wright Coates and Jesse Coats and all money owed was given to him. Jesse Coats and James Coats (brother of Wright Coats) then went to the home of William Lesley in Newberry and gave Wright Coats his portion of the payment. Wright Coates sometime afterwards sued Daniel McMahan for more payment. Daniel McMahan in turn sued Wright Coates but before the trial Wright Coates died leaving John O'Neall as his executor. Daniel McMahan had petitioned the Court to dismiss the Bill because of fraud on the part of William Coates and to have the estate of Wright Coates pay for the Court costs. Wright witnessed the sale of his brother William Coate's land in 1807 and verified that William's wife, Mary, had given her consent to the sale. Wright had his will administered in 1808 or 1809 in Newberry Co., SC with his administrators listed as Mary Coate (wife) and J. O'Neal. His will starts with the words, "In the name of God, Amen" which indicate he was not a Quaker. (C-266, 1403, C-1479, 1942) | COATS, Wright (I13955)

| 4393 | YDNA evidence now shows that Henry Coats m. to Molly Pitts is the son of Little John Coates and grandson of Henry Coates, b 1800. In fact, he has a 97.8% likelyhood of being related to him within 8 generations which is a much higher statishan with any other Coats descendant in his group at FTDNA. Here is the current kit proving that his closest kin is Henry Coats m. to Molly Pitts and in a significant range for Little John to be the father of Henry Coate married to Mollie Pitts. A YDNA match to Little John's father, Henry, is the next most significant match that two descendants of Marmaduke b 1738 have with this Henry Coats m. to Mollie Pitts. It's an 88% likelyhood within 8 generations again fitting date, place and lines supported by even more YDNA matches. No other matches to Coats cousins come close to topping the proximity of this relationship. Henry and his wife probably weren't Quakers. Henry named one of his sons, Marshall after a Baptist minister. There is a Henry Coats who was a member of the Bush River Baptist Church. A journal of the Bush River Baptist Church dated 6/13/1801 show 8 persons were received by experience: Henry Coat, Thomas Pitts, Caleb Pitts, Benjamin Butler, Nancy Pitts, Catherine Peeks, John Williams and Hannah Case. His wife Mary Coat was received one month later. Henry was probably excommunicated in Mar. of 1806. "2/8/1806 The brethern appointed to cite Henry Coat report that they delivered the message to him but that he did not attend. He was therefore excluded from fellowship for drunkeness and refusing to hear the church." I'm theorizing that it's this Henry Coat. There are many Pitt relatives of his first wife, Molly Pitts who were members of the Bush River Baptist Church. (C-1858, 2553) His family fits with the only Henry Coate in the area in 1790, with 1 male over age 16, 1 under age 16 and 3 females. By 1800, there are 3 Henry's in the area again. He is highly likely to be the Henry Coat in the 1800 Newberry census records with 2 sons and 2 daughters age ten and under, with he and his wife being ages 26-45. It's the only one that fits a family with his known children in it. The birth dates of the children as researched by Nancy Coats father, fit these census records also. (C-1933) It is possible that Henry purchased 350 acres of land on Goose Pond Creek in July or Oct. of 1771 in what was Craven County. He sold it to Robert Gilliam in Feb. of 1790. It is sold after Henry Coate, father of Marmaduke, James and John, has died in 1784, and eliminates the oldest Henry in the area as the seller of the land. An even more interesting pattern emerges from this land transaction. In Newberry Court Minutes, p. 141, September Term 1790, ordered that Big John Coats be appointed overseer instead of Tho's Black and command the same hands. A lease and release from Henry Coats to Robert Gilliam Esq'r proved on a dedimus directed to Burk County in the State of Georgia and ordered to be recorded. (p. 132) March 1790 On motion of Robert Gilliam Esq're ordered that a dedimus potestum be granted him directed to justice in the State of Georgia to examine William Camel on oath if he saw Henry Coats sign seal and deliver a Lease & release to said Gilliam and whether he was a subscribing witness thereto." The fact that Big John Coate's is named his overseer in this document, might indicate that they are relatives. p. 76 Sept'r court 1788 Same plaintiff (John Musgrove) against Henry Coats defendant, petition & summons, nonsuite as above.(C-947) Another deed highly likely to apply to this Henry as he is the only one known to be married to a Mary in this time frame in this area. It is transcribed by Charlotte Coats as follows: "This indenture made the ? 6 or 16 day of October in the Nineteenth year of American Independence and in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven Hundred and Ninety four between Henry Coate of Newberry County Ninety District and state of South Carolina and Mary his wife of the one part and Francis Atkin of the county aforesaid of the other part. Witnesseth that the said Henry Coate and Mary his wife for and in consideration of the sum of fifteen pounds good and lawfull money of the state aforesaid ? paid by the aforesaid Francis Atkin the receipt thereof whereby acknowledged, hath granted bargained and sold and by these present doth bargain sell alien eliease ? confirm unto the said Francis Atkins by ? of a bargain and sale to him thereof made for and whole land by indenture of sale bearing date ? day next before the day of the ? these presents and by force of the ? being ? into possessed and to his heirs and assigns for ever a plantation or tract of land containing fifty seven acres situated, lying and being in the county aforesaid on the waters of Scotch Creek a branch of Bush River bounding by lines ?

S. Carolinas and the great seal of the same hereunto affixed to have and to hold unto the said Francis Atkins the said plantation or tract of land containing fifty seven acres as aforesaid with ??, rents, issues and profits thereof and ? and singular the premises ??" The interesting part about this land transaction is that he was living next to Little John Coate. A relationship to Little John is highly likely as Family DNA testing for the Coates line says that Marmaduke Coates (Little John's brother) and this Henry have the exact same male Coate ancestor at some point in time. (Also note that Francis who is known to be an Atkins in the area, does not have the t crossed in the orginal deed... it looks like an L instead).Henry is a witness to the will of Samuel Hughens in 1807 in Newberry Co., South Carolina. Samuel was the father-in-law to Henry's daughter, Edney Coats. He is in the following Davenport records for Newberry Co., South Carolina. "19 Nov 1813 - Probate Estate of Elizabeth Davenport, late of Newberry County, Decd.

(Newberry County, SC, Estates, Box 357, Pkg. 66)"There is an administration record from Newberry Co., SC for a Henry Coate's Sr. administered from July 15, 1817-1820. He had an extensive estate but left with no will. The estate was divided amongst his widow, Sarah Waldrop and children, Edney Ewing/Hughens, John (minor), J(ehue), Mary (minor), Elizabeth (minor), Marshal (minor), and Henry Coate (minor). John Pitts was the administrator. Witnesses were Levi and Nathan Pitts. Henry Pitts (brother to Henry's wife, Molly Pitts) was listed as John Coate's guardian. (C-881,886) This administration coupled with the administration for Henry's father in law, Henry Pitts in 1818 that only lists 4 of Henry's children as the children of Molly Pitts Coate, indicate that Henry was married twice. Molly's children as named in their grandfather, Henry's will, were: Sarah, Edney, Jehu and John. John was still a minor at the time of Henry's administration and he was the only one of his minor children for which a guardian was found in 1818. Apparently, Henry naturally expected his second unnamed wife to take care of his other four minor children. On 12/10/1821, the four youngest children, Hannah's and Henry's children also were placed under the guardianship of John Johnston. (C-1600, 2135E, 2612) This Henry Coates might have a brother or close relative named Willie. A Henry and Willie sold land to Joseph Toland in Newberry Co. on Nov. 1, 1785. The deed was not filed until 1804. This is the only Henry I can find that it could belong too. Willie sold land in Newberry Co., SC in 1790, 1816, 1820 and 1823. (C-890) We now know that Henry had a step brother William who had moved to Alabama by 1810 so this wouldn't account for him. When 2 people own land together, that does suggest a brother or even father son relationship. We can rule out father and son by the fact that they are both at least 21 to sell land in 1785 and with newfound YDNA evidence. It's possible that Little John also had a son named William/Willie by his first wife who was a brother to this Henry. | COAT, Henry (I13396)

| 4394 | YDNA now clearly indicates that Big John is the son of Gentleman John through 3 of Big John's descendants. No other descendants from any other Coats in our group have as much shared DNA and such a high probality that they are father and son. By estimated ages and place, this is likely also. Check out our YDNA group at http://www.ancestrees.com/henrycoatebabt1595ydnagroup.html that indicates they have a 97% chance of being closely related within 8 generations of descendants. That's as lovely a chart as you can get for YDNA probabilities between father and son of this time period for 37 points. At last, we finally know who Big John's father is!</line><line /><line>This John who is referred to here was a Blacksmith. He starts his will with a declaration, "In the name of God, Amen", which indicates that he personally is not a Quaker. Daughter Rachel is listed in one of the "laying downs" in the Bush River Monthly Meeting. However, when she marries Thomas Wilkinson Furnas in 1792, he was disowned for marrying out of unity (a wife who wasn't a Quaker). Daughter Mary is the only one that appears to have been a Quaker as she was married in the same monthly meeting. (C-1838)His wife, Rachel's family were Quaker and lived in the Wateree MM district of Camden, Kershaw Co., SC from 1764 onward. This area became the Bush River MM area which her parent's family helped establish. It is highly likely that Rachel and her husband married in this region and settled down on Beaverdam Creek. (C-1920, see bio on John C. Wright also.)</line><line /><line>Big John bought 150 acres on July 4 1769 in Craven Co. on the Saluda River at Beaver Dam Creek. (He probably began this purchase process on May 6, 1766.) His neighbors included Charles Nicks, Isaac Cook (brother-in-law), Thomas Brooks, Calib Gilbert, Peter Hakins and George Heaworth (later). (C-692, 947) He was apparently the only John Coat that lived on this Beaverdam Creek. (There are two other Beaverdam Creeks: Big Beaverdam Creek that flows west and a little north of this and flows into Little River above Mudlick Creek and one that flows into Bush River) C-1552, 1554) This is the same area where many of the children of John Wright Sr. (the father of his wife Rachel) lived. He sold this land in 1787. (C-2075) A deed transcribed by John H. Coate of Michigan in which John purchased four acres from brother-in-law, Isaac Cook follows: (C-1925) "Know all men by these present that I Isaac Cook of Newberry County and State of South Carolina am held and firmly bound unto John Coats of the same place in the R___ sum of twenty pounds Sterling which payment will and truly to be maid I ____ myself and my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns ____ by this ______ sealed with my seal and dated this Eleventh day of February 1788 anno domino one thousand seven hundred and eighty eight. The conditions of the obligation is such that if the above boundin Isaac Cook his heirs Executors Administrators or assigns shall make or cause to be maid unto the (aforesaid) John Coats his heirs or assigns good sufficient lawful title to a certain tract of land containing four acres situated in the county and State aforesaid on the waters of the Beaverdam, a branch of Saluda River _______sixteen(?) perches on Richard Tompsons land and forty perches on the said John Coats' ___ land then the above obligation to be void or else to remain in full force and virtue in ??????? the land. Isaac Cook hath hereunto set his hand and seal the day and year _____ above written" The will was witnessed by a John (Jay) and Mary Coate. John then proceeded to assign the 4 acres to Jesse Coats (Negro), his slave. He gave Jesse his freedom in 1795. (Newberry Co. Deed Book C, p. 499)John Coate's supposed sons mostly settled on land adjacent to their fathers. Big John and Rachel sold land to (son) Wright Coates on Sept. 24, 1795. (C-909) </line><line /><line>This Big John is listed as B. John or Big John in his land deeds and legal documents as demonstrated by John H. Coate of Michigan. (C-633)In Newberry Ct. records, dated Sep. Term, 1790 it was ordered that Big John Coats be "appointed overseer instead of Tho's Black & command the same hands for the lease & release (of land) from Henry Coats to Robert Gilliam Esq'r proved on a dedimus directed to Burk County in the State of Georgia & ordered to be recorded." (C-1528)In the 1790 census I believe he is the John Coats on page 79 in the Newberry Co., SC census. He had 2 males over 16 (he and son Wright), 2 males under 16 (John (adopted) and James), 4 females (Rachel, his wife, and daughters Rachel, Mary, & Rebecca -adopted) and a slave in his household. The reasons why I think this is him, is because it fits his possible children, he is living off from other Coats in the census and persons surrounding him are some of his father-in-law's children. </line><line /><line>Big John originally got some of his land from his father-in-law and had neighbors that were some of his wife's siblings. Case in point: Sister-in-law Susannah was married to Isaac Hollingsworth. Isaac is living in that region. Brother-in-law's Thomas Write and Nathan Write are also listed in that same region. Big John had one slave which he freed in 1795, and this John's household has one slave in 1790. In this census, his neighbors include several Gallbreaths' including the John and James Gallbreath who sold parts of the original William's 1766 land purchase. The Gallbreaths sold the land in 1800 and abt. 1804. The land the Gallbreath's sold is located on the north of Bush River, which is not adjacent to where Big John lived. Locating all the places where the Gallbreaths owned land in 1800 would be useful to picture this. Did the Gallbreaths live near Big John in 1790, but also own land about 3 miles east where William's original land was located in 1800?In the 1800 census on pg. 70, he is the John who has one under age 10 (Sampson), one male between ten and 16 (John Jr.), one male between 16 and 26 (James), himself (over 45), 1 female between ten and 16 (Rebecca), one unknown female between 16 and 26 and Rachel his wife (over 45) plus one other free person in the family (his freed slave).According to Summer's Book: "Old John Coate died about 1802-1803, bequeathed estate to widow, Rachel, and children James and Sampson. </line><line /><line>Wright Coate made his will on Nov. 18, 1808, and died in the same year. He left widow, Mary, and children Frederick, Daniel, and Susan. Exr John Belton O'neall." The fact that he is the only John referred to as "Old" in a list of several John Coates who died in a similar time range....this John's birth date is likely to be before all the others guestimated to be between 1733 and 1748. Note, that his death date turns out to be around 1809 instead. His will is transcribed and provided by John H. Coats as follows:"WILL OF JOHN COATS 31 January 1803Newberry County South CarolinaWill Book 4 pg. 11In the name of God Amen. I John Coats of Newberry District in the State of South Carolina being weak in body but of sound and perfect mind and memory do make and publish this my last will and testament in manner and form following that is to say First I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Rachal all my moveable and personal estate. Second I give and devise my land as follows first I give to my son James that part of my land the north east side of the publick road or the road nearly the line, the Division line to begin at the road on William Coats's line thence along the road to a crook in it thence to continue so as to come nearby a field and include the said field, thence a strait line so as to strike the line near the said publick road, with the appurtenances thereunto belonging to him and his heirs and assigns forever. Secondly I give and devise all the residue of my land where on the house stands the southwest side of said road and division line to my son Sampson and his heirs and assigns forever with the appurtenances thereunto belonging except such privileges as are herby reserved for my wife as follows. I give my wife Rachal privilege or income of my land and houses or buildings that I gave my son Sampson until he comes to be of age and afterwards my said wife shall have privilege of the said house and garden during her natural life and lastly I hereby appoint my said wife Rachal to be my executrix to execute this my last will and testament hereby revoking all former wills by me made. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this thirty first day of January in the year of our lord one thousand eight hundred and three.Signed sealed and declaredhisby the above named JohnJohnCoatsCoats to be his last will andmarktestament in the presence of uswho have hereto subscribed ournames as witnesses in the presenceof the testator byIsaac KirkSamuel Cottman?Levi Longshore"</line><line /><line>You will note that in the will, John only names 2 sons, Sampson and James. Researchers believe that he actually had 4 sons and 2 or 3 daughters for the following reasons. They had a daughter Mary, whose marriage they witnessed in the parent witness position. Grandchildren of Mary's knew that she had a sister Rebecca and a brother John. Rebecca cared for John's children when they moved to Ohio after John's wife had died. Rebecca was also buried next to her sister. John also gives his "brother" William guardianship of his children several years after his wife died. However, DNA evidence show's that John's descendant's DNA is not the same as the others that descend from James, Wright, and William making it likely that John was adopted into the family. Rachel is said to be his daughter because she moved to Ohio with her sister, Mary's family, and their families are buried together. William is thought to be Big John's son because Big John and Rachel witnessed William's purchase of land from his likely brother, Wright Coates, as a young man. William's land is also mentioned in Big John's will as existing next to land he bequeaths to one of his sons. William's descendants do have DNA that is only different by 1 point out of 37 to Marmaduke Coate's DNA grouping. Wright is listed as the brother of James in an equity record for South Carolina verifying that he is a son of Big John and this is also supported by DNA evidence. All of these children are accounted for in the 1790 and 1800 census records for this family. | COATS, Big John (I13014)

| 4395 | YDNA shows that Solomon Tharp and our Thomas Tharp b abt 1640 and is extremely likely to be his descendant. Solomon was born in Woodbridge, NJ and is not a descendant of that Woodbridge Tharp branch as expected. Instead he descended from our Thomas and is expected to have lived in Delaware part of his life where many descendants of the Thomas Tharp of Maryland ended up. | THARP, Solomon (I11166)

| 4396 | Zaus's name is spelled many different ways in the records: Isaias, Esaes, and Isaac. He lived in Gallia Co., OH in the 1820s, Tippacanoe Co, IN in 1830 as Issac, 1840 in Boone Co., IN as Z. Tharp. He took guardianship of a California Ban Nov. of 1840 in Boone Co., Indiana. He is listed as Esaes (Enos?) Tharp in the 1850 Howard Co., IN census. (CL-435) He moved to Grundy Co., MO by the 1860 census. He had purchased land in Spickardville, MO and lived with his son, Dennis by that time. He had nine children who lived and 2 more that died as babies. He was a farmer by trade. (CL-425, 434, 510E, 547) | THARP, Zaus (I14388)

| 4400 | [lamont 2.GED] Tradition, supported by a genealogical work of 1682 found in Inveraray Castle, maintains that a son of Sir Laumon, had to flee Cowal as a result of a murder; and founded the Lyons of Glamis. He took the name of Lyon from the Lamont arms, and chose as his arms, the reverse of the Lamonts, a blue lion on a silver field. Queen Elisabeth's Lamont ancestry as the Queen Mother (of England, Scotland and Wales), Queen Elizabeth, is a Lyon of Glamis. If this tradition is correct, the current Queen Elizabeth II (of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland) is a Lamont on her mothers side. Published by The Scotsman, Friday 27th September 1935. The Duchess of York. Her Celtic Ancestry(From A Correspondent) It is generally not known that the Duchess of York, who is to present the prizes at the Mod Concert in Edinburgh to-night, is descended from one of the oldest Argyllshire clans, the Clan Lamont. The earliest known ancestor of the family of the Lyons of Glamis, now the Earls of Strathmore, is John of the White Lyon, and he was of the house of Lamont, from whom he took the armorial bearing he subsequently assumed as his surname. Whether the descent is in the male or female line is not quite clear, but the tradition of both Campbells and Lamonts supports the former. Thus in the margin of a genealogical book at Innveraray Castle, dated 1682, appears the following note, in the hand of the Argyll who was executed in 1685. | GLAMIS, Lyons Of Earls Of Strathmore (I2271)
