• Notes

  This John is possibly the John Coate, carpenter, who had his estate administered on June 7, 1777 by Joseph Mapes. John lived in Great Egg Harbor, Gloucester Co., NJ. No family was mentioned and he did not leave a will. (C-1078) Howevere is also an unexplained John Coate in Edgefield Co., SC who was listed as deceased on Jan. 14, 1788 when the court summoned his nearest kin by the next court date, otherwise the administration of his estate was to go to George Cowan. (C-1529) Two researchers have stated that this John is the Big John of South Carolina that has not been able to be connected into this family tree other than by DNA evidence. If this is the case, then John, son of Marmaduke and Sarah Mathis would not be married to Millicent Maps.
