- In 1790, this Samuel is the one who has a wife and six daughters. (C-1859) Samuel was born before 1758 as his first daughter's estimated birth date is 1775. He is highly likely to be the Samuel who bought 150 acres in 1774 in Newber, NC and then sold it to J. Gardner in 1775. In 1788, he purchased 192 acres of land on Beaver Dam Creek on a branch of Bush River. In 1797, his brother John Sr. purchases 28 adjacent acres. He is likely to be the Samuel who died in 1807, lived in Bush River MM, SC at some point in his life and married Mary. (C-556, p. 85) This is supported by the information on Gentleman John's son Samuel in Emma O. Collins book. It doesn't give the source for it's information, but it lists 5 unknown daughters with their spouses names which came from Samuel's will dated 1807. That means 5 of his daughters were married and all likely above age 18 before 1807. The daughters ages are estimated from census records and they might be out of order with whom they married. As I find the ages of whom they've married I'll be able to better guestimate which daughter's age went with which husband named in their father's will.
He is the Sam Coate living between Little John Coates, Marmaduke and (Gentleman) John Coates Sr. in 96th District, SC in the 1790 census records. In that, he is the only male in the household living with 7 females. In the 1800 census on page 72, his household now has 1 male and female over age 45, 1 male under age 10, 1 female under age 10, 2 females between 10 and 16 and 2 females between 16 and 26. The person in the household is listed in the last column. I'm not sure if that indicates 1 slave or not? His name is spelled Samuel Coates. There is a deed often attributed to this Samuel where he sells land for the Quaker MM house in Jan. 17, 1804. I believe this belongs to my Samuel, son of Marmaduke instead for the reasons that are stated in my gr... uncle Samuel's biography in this database.
In his administration settled from 1807 to 1817, he left widow, Mary, and legatees: James Wilson, James Reeder, James Stadman, John Williams, John Taylor, Jesse Neal, and Delilah Coate according to Summers Book. Basically these were his son-in-laws and an unmarried daughter or daughter-in-law, Delilah with wife, Mary. Because Delilah was not in the census records and because all the other daughters are accounted for in the 1800 census, it is my theory that she is his daughter-in-law and his only son has died. (C-1914) The estate sale included Mary Cote, John Taylor, John Frost, Joseph Smith, George Marshall, David Miles, George Mendenhall, Isaac Gilder, Robert Evans, William Summers, Jacob Taylor, Mathew Brooks, James Stedmon, James Reder, Martin Taylor, Ferrel or Matthew Brooks, Ralph Campbell and Jacob Lindsey.
There is also a bond of some type signed by Mary Coate, John Taylor, Joseph Eastland and Thomas Elmore. There were quite a few notes that were paid off after his estate sale to John Frost, William Dilling, and Samuel Miles estate all signed by Samuel Coate or Coats.
