• Notes

  One source of unknown origin, gives Mary's burial date as 7/30/1719, before she married Mr. Sands. Her marriage that takes place in 1720 can be verified with a copy of the original Quaker marriage record at the Coats Family Archives proy Charlotte Coats Siercks. She is listed as the daughter of James Coates, deceased (late of Philadelphia). The 1719 death date for her, therefore, has to be wrong. Witnesses at their marriage in the closest relatives column included John Sands (her brother-in-law?), Abraham Cowgill (her husband's 1st cousin through his mother's side), James Coate (her brother), Elizabeth Coate (a possible sister, sister-in-law or her cousin Elizabeth, d. of Samuel), Henry Coate (1st cousin through Uncle Samuel or her Uncle Henry), Sarah Laine (1st cousin through his mother's side), Caleb Rapier (husband of her 2nd cousin Mary Coate), Mary Rapier (2nd cousin, d. of Marmaduke and Ann Pole Coate), Henry Clothier (cousin as son of Sarah Jane Coate and James Clothier of Somersetshire Co., England), William Coate (cousin through Uncle Samuel) and Edmund Cowgill (1st cousin to her husband through his mother's side) in that order. This list gives several wonderful clues. Why aren't her siblings, John and Ann or her mother Mary in the list? John and Ann were deceased by that time. It's likely as well for her mother Mary. Are the James and Elizabeth Coate possibly her siblings that were also not named in her father, James's Coate's will? I theorize that James and Mary did probably have a son James and possibly another daughter Elizabeth. There isn't any other James that I've found that could account for the James who is high up on her witness list. Elizabeth might be this James's wife or she could be another sister of Mary.
