Notes - Henry received 200 acres of his father's land on the hill along Yoark Road in his will written on Nov. 22, 1723. He and Esther Willson declared their first intention to marry on Mar 6, 1731 in the Chesterfield Monthly Meeting, NJ. He was supposedly from Buckingham, PA at the time. We now have autosomal DNA matches verifying that I descend from Henry and his wife, Esther Willson. I specifically have found cousins through both Esther Willson's father's and mother's side verifying this line.
A Henry Coat bought 260 acres in 1733 from Robert Willson (brother-in-law). A Henry purchased land in the southwest corner of Readings line in 1735, Hunterdon Co., NJ, north of the Assanpink River (originally the township of Hopewell) from William Biles. A Henry also bought land from Thomas Canby in 1735 which he sold in 1741 to Derrick Hoagland. (C-1,46, 2110)
Our Henry was listed as of Amwell Twp. in 1738 when he voted for John Emley and Benjamin Smith in the voting records for Hunterdon Co., NJ. A Jno. Coate was a candidate, but obviously Henry did not vote for him. (C-1824) He is likely the Henry listed as a freeholder who owned at least 50 acres or a house and three acres or more, living in Amwell Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ in 1741. (C-294)
In 1757 our Henry moved to New Garden MM, Rowan and Guilford Counties, North Carolina from Kingwood MM, NJ. His certificate of removal from Kingswood to New Garden MM, NC is dated 14th, 7mo 1757 and lists himself and sons Marmaduke, James and John. (C-46b)
He might be on the list of Taxable Persons in Rowan Co., NC in 1759 along with James and William Coats. That Henry is listed with 2 Poles over age 16 (likely referring to his 2 youngest sons that were living with.) However, there is an unrelated (by YDNA) set of Coats in Rowan at the time named William, James and Henry who are there by 1755 in the tax records, who moved to Pasqutank Co., NC by 1769 that would account for them instead.
Our Henry should not be confused with a Henry purchasing land in this same time period in Virginia who bought 200 acres between 1756-1761. (C-1037, 1498) There were many complaints at New Garden MM against Henry & his sons, James & Marmaduke & sometime before 1764, James & Marmaduke left (without asking for a certificate of removal for which they were disowned). Henry was actually dismissed from New Garden on 7/25/1761. Sons Marmaduke and James were not dismissed until 4/29/1769. (C-1497)
Henry then moved to Newberry, South Carolina. Our Henry purchased 200 acres on July 29, 1765 from John Brooks on Scotch Creek in Berkely Co., SC, a year before William purchased land on Scotts/Scotch Creek just south of the town of Newberry, Berkeley (District)?, S.C. supporting the theory he and William were brothers. Henry's witness when he purchased land included William (brother) and James (son or nephew) Coate. (C-891, 912) This land adjoined Benjamin Pearson of Bush River, Ninety Six District, SC as stated in Benjamin's will on Dec. 10, 1784. He was referred to as the late Henry Coates in this will. Near neighbors were also the late Hugh Creightons and John Brooks. The purchase of 200 acres indicates that there were 3 persons in his household at the time.(C-1699, 1700)
There were several other land transactions, any or all of which could be his purchases. A Henry Coats obtained 150 acres on Dec. 6 1768 and May 16, 1769 in what was then Berkley (now Newberry?), South Carolina. His neighbors were Richard Griffin, Jno Caldwell, John Delany and James Cook. A Henry had land on Mudlick Creek, Craven Co. in 1770 when Ann Hagen purchased land adjoining it. Their neighbors were Richard North , William O'neal, and Anthony Griffin. (C-1411, 1835) (C-1404) Lastly, a Henry obtained 100 acres on May 18, 1773 in Berkley on the waters of the Saludy bounded by vacant land. His son Marmaduke owned land in Berkley. His son "Little John" owned land within 2 miles of brother, Marmaduke. His son, James, could be involved in the following purchases. A James bought 150 acres on Dec. 3, 1771 and 250 acres on May 4, 1772 in Berkley.
Henry's estate is probated in 96 District, South Carolina, June 11, 1784. It was administered by John Coate, Benjamin Pearson, George Powell, and bound to John Thomas Jr. for 2000 pounds in the 96th District. Henry Coate was of Bush River in this record. His inventory was made on Aug. 10, 1784 by Samuel Kelly, Hugh Creighton, and Benjamin Pearson. He had a very small estate inventory and sale. Buyers were Joseph Campbel, one cow and calf, 1 old loom, 1 horse, and 1 trunk; John Man, 1 mare; Henry Coate, 1 mare; John Coate, 1 razor hone?, 1 tract of 200 acrs of land. John Coate, Benjamin Pearson and George Powell put up two thousand pounds sterling to ensure that the estate of Henry Coate, deceased would be distributed properly on June 11, 1784. It is housed at the Abbeville Courthouse, in Abbeville, South Carolina. (Box 21- pack 48 and 487). The original land he purchased from John Brooks in 1765 was in the hands of his son John Coate of Newberry.
John sold it in parts, in 1799 to Henry Coate of Newberry (his son), in 1800 to Frederick Nance, and in 1802 to John McMorris. John was listed as deceased before 1803.
