• Notes

  He was the Marmaduke Coate, "oldest son of my cousin William Coate" in John Coate's 1686 will proved at Taunton in 1692. If he lived till 1692, he would have received lands in Middlemore from this cousin. We do not have that verified. If the land is traced it should have either gone to this Marmaduke or likely oldest living son. From looking at the baptismal records for Curry Rivel, Somerset England, I believe this Marmaduke was married 3 times. The timing fits without any overlaps. His first wife is to an Ann Lock in 1651. They had at least one child in the records. By 1655 he married Joan Woodborne and had children. He then would account for the Marmaduke who married an Elizabeth before 1671 and had more children until 1688. There are no overlaps in marriages or children's births. This also finally makes sense of daughter, Elizabeth Coate's will who was born in 1671 and died in 1713 naming two brothers, sons of Marmaduke named John. Marmaduke would have had a son John by two of his wives that made it to adulthood. However, only sons John, Marmaduke, and possibly William had children. This Marmaduke was called Duke Coate when his son Marmaduke was baptized by the way. The bigger question has been who is Marmaduke's father? This seems rather clear to me now that I have figured out which Elizabeth Coate the 1713 will belongs too. The transcription of her will is as follows in Park's book: "Elizabeth Coate of Curry Rivel. 1713, Will of Elizabeth Coate of Curry Rivel in the County of Somerset, Spinster. To her brother John Coate 20 pounds, her best mare and her brewing vat, which was her father's also three pewter platters which were her brother John's (half brother) and two of them which were her brother William's. Also she gave to him another pewter platter which was marked "M.C." (Marmaduke Coate, her father). In all "four platters and pair of canvas gloves"; her bacon rack; her brake and her bran houses. To her kinswoman Elizabeth Andrews, daughter of George Andrews and Mary his wife, the sum of twenty pounds. All the rest of her goods, chattels, etc. she bequeathed to Mary Andrews her sister, wife of George Andrews whom she thereby appointed sole Executrix of this her last will subject to the payment of her debts. Witnessed by Thomas Crofts, Thomas Sattell and John Mariot." What helps immensely with her will, is that the pewter platters and brewing vat were originally passed down from her grandfather, William Coate who made his will in 1658 and bequeathed these items to his son Marmaduke (her father). Her brother Marmaduke, was also named in the will again verifying that this line is now sorted correctly. I have not found brewing tools listed in any other direct lineage but this one. He likely is one of the three following Marmadukes who died and was buried in Curry Rivel, Somerset, England on 30 July 1700 or Mar. 8, 1705 or April 20, 1705. I've estimated his birthdate as before 1631 when his wife Joane was born. We know that Joan had to be born before 1631 because she was included in her Grandmother, Marie Coate's will dated 1631. I am guessing that she and her husband are cousins as all Coates in Curry Rival appear to have descended through Marmaduke Coate's parents. Marmaduke (d.1624) was married to Marie Sumner (d. 1631). This Marmaduke is the only Marmaduke in early Coate records of Curry Rivel whom was the correct age and place to have married Alice/Ann Lock in 1651. They married in Pitney which is 5 miles from Curry Rivel and are both listed of Curry "Revel" in their marriage record.
