• Notes

  It is theory on Gary W. Coats part that Thomas came to America and lived in Bucks Co., Pennsylvania. If so he could be the Thomas married to Sarah Ann who ended up in SC and is the ancestor of Gary W. Coats of Portland, Oregon. The death of a Thomas is listed in the Bristol M.M. records but it might not belong to the Thomas who is the son of William and Deborah Powell Coats. There are also death dates recorded in the Church of England records for Thomas Coate in 1734 in Goathurst, Somerset, England. If this belongs to him than he was only a Quaker during his childhood. He is of the correct age and place to be the father of William of Goathurst.
