  • Notes 
    • Her death date is usually listed as 5/6/1736. The information on her death date probably came from the book "The Willson Family, 1672-1959" by Richard Eugene Willson according to Ron Peterson. (C-2110)

      However, it has not been able to be verified and could just as easily apply to her mother, Esther instead. The reasons why it likely applies to her mother instead are the following. Her son, Marmaduke was most likely born in 1738 as he would still have been under the age of 21 when he was listed with his father on their move from NJ to NC in 1757. It appears that her husband could have left community because of an uncomfortable situation for all. He never remarried which is extremely unusual for the times. Members of the Newbold family believe that Michael Newbold, b. 1706 in Burlington Co., NJ was married secondly to Henry Coates' wife, Esther Wilson. According to Newbold descendants, the Henry Coate she was married to in the Hunterdon Co., New Jersey area died sometime around 1755. However, my Henry Coate moved to North Carolina with his sons in 1757 (in Quaker Records) around the time that Michael and Esther were believed to be man and wife. Because no marriage record for Michael Newbold and Esther has been found even though Michael often witnessed Quaker marriages in Hunterdon Co., New Jersey, I thought it possible that Esther and Michael had a common law marriage. She is called his wife Esther in Michael Newbold's will written by 1763.

      We are in any case, descended from the Henry who moves south with sons to Guilford/Rowan Co., NC and Esther Willson. What is now known through DNA evidence is that I have 2 cousins descended from both of Elizabeth's parents. Esther's mother's side also has a match clear back to Major General Robert Overton (b. 1609) and Anne Gardiner with me. (23andMe.com, cousins: Charlotte Buelow and Bonnie Scudder) We likely have these matches clear back into the 1600's because we descend through both Esther and her brother, Gabriel Willson.
