| Notes |
- We are certain that this John is a cousin to the following persons below whom are grandchildren and great grandchildren of Marmaduke and Marie Coate of Curry Rivel. We also can deduce that this John can't descend from William or Henry because they are his cousin lines. He can't descend from Roger as he died as an infant. That means, he had to have descended from Marmaduke and Marie's son Thomas or from an another son of Marmaduke who was left out of his will. Marmaduke had left a will naming his children that were living at the time in 1617. He could be Thomas's son or more likely grandson by his age.
John wrote a will in 1686 that was probated in 1692. He was married to his "now wife" Frances and because they had no children at the time, he gave his estate to:1. The 4 eldest children of his cousin, Mary Prigg in the parish of Drayton. She was the widow of Marmaduke Coate. We don't know all of the children they had together, but it was obviously more than 4 children. Marmaduke was the son of Henry "the Elder" and grandson of Marmaduke and Marie Coate of Curry Rivel.2. To Marmaduke Coate, eldest son of his cousin, William Coate, 4 acres in Middlemore. William was the son of William and grandson of Marmaduke and Marie Coate whom was married to Elizabeth Combstock.3. To John Coate, eldest son of Marmaduke all his lands at Wiletown in the parish of Curry Rivel or if Marmaduke's son John dies then to his brother William instead. Marmaduke was the son of William and Johanne Browning and grandson of Marmaduke and Marie Coate. He is listed as a widow in his burial record. Both the fact that he describes Frances as his current wife and the fact that he was a widow in his burial record indicate he had been married at least twice.
