• Notes

  John was sent for in 1693 by his uncle Thomas Sisom. He settled in Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, PA when he came over with his brothers William, Thomas and George who were all supposedly Quakers. John however, married at Christ Church in Philadelphia. He was Presbyterian when he married Mary Heale. </line><line /><line>A street was named after this John Coates in Philadelphia. He is listed as John Cotes Jr. when he was executor for his brother William's estate. That might mean that their father's name was John or that there was another older John living in the area at the same time. (Colonial Families of PA: E) </line><line /><line>He might be the John Coate who attended the wedding of Daniel Mickle and Hannah Dennis of Newton Twp. on the 1 mo 27 day, 1711. (C-1,1680) He purchased a 3 acre brickyard in 1719 in Philadelphia just like his brothers, Thomas and William did. He helped administer his brother, William Sr.'s estate in 1749. (C-1665) </line><line /><line>This John Coates along with Thomas Shute owned 4 tenements on 2nd Street in Philadelphia that they were renting out for 6 pounds, 10 shillings annually in the American Weekly Mercury dated Thursday August 23, to Thursday August 30, 1739. He is likely the John Coates Jr. who donated 15 pounds for the establishment of a hospital in Philadelphia which was reported on May 29, 1755 in the Pennsylvania Gazette. </line><line /><line>His will was written in 1754 and probated in 1760, which lists a large number of children. His wife was apparently deceased by that time. (Will Book L, p. 409) It is transcribed and available at www.ancestry.com. John Coats. City of Philadelphia. Brickmaker. Dec. 7, 1754. March 20, 1760.

Grandchild: George Wright. Trustee: Thomas Say. Exec: All of his children, wit Thomas Rodgers, Benjamin Leigh, Martha Oral.
