- On 9/5/1774, William child of Barzillai moved to Evesham Monthly Meeting according to a record of Burlington Monthly Meeting in Hinshaw. Since he is listed as a child, we can only surmise that he was under age 18 at the time. On Se, 1788, a somewhat underage William of Burlington Co., ward who owned real estate, chose as his guardian, Samuel Evans. His father, Barzilla, had died and willed him 1040 acres of his property in New Hanover Twp. The land had originally belonged to his grandfather and was purchased back by his father from John Garwood in 1714.
This William married a Sarah. They and an infant son were given a certificate of removal from Evesham MM, Burlington Co., NJ to Burlington MM in 1793. (C-1056) So far he is the only William I've found who could be the William who was disowned on 1797, 2, 6 by Burlington Monthly Meeting, NJ for marrying out of unity unless of course it's a son of his named William who married out of unity. William did have a son named William but he wasn't born till 1794.
In either case, William, the elder here had a wife named Sarah in the inventory of his estate in 1811. (Hinshaw's Quaker Encyclopedia). He had a total of 3 sons and five daughters. William appears to have a brother Barzilla who witnessed his will. He mentions no children in it. (C-1078)
The son whom he did not mention in his will, either died or possibly was the Michael Coate of Evesham Twp. who made his will in 1814, had wife, Mehitable and mother Sarah. This Michael was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. William Sharp was a witness to Michael's will. (C-1078)
The inventory of his estate is provided via Charlotte Coats Sierks "Family Archives" site.
