• Notes

  William was in the Uwchlan Monthly Meeting when he went to the Abington Monthly Meeting on the 7th mo., 6th day, 1780. (C-2140) There is a possibility that this William Coate married a second wife, Mary Hambleton in Bucks Co., PA by 1799. If it turns out that Rebecca Stalker dies before 1799, I would suggest even more strongly that this is likely. I say this because the William marrying Mary Hambelton names a son Moses. Moses is a common name in this William's family. He lived in Pennsylvania. He was descended from the original Moses and Susannah Weldon Coates in PA and he is the only William that I have been able to find in this time period who could be him in this branch of the family.
