  • Notes 
    • John was a merchant. He is listed in Medlin's, [UL:Quaker Families:UL]. He was listed as age 38 in the 1850 Clarke Co., AL census. There was a John Coates that along with a Turner was accused of murdering a man named Cox. Coates len and Turner was punished in the stocks. I'm not sure if this incident applies to this John or not. (C-1599, 1784)

      According to Olivia Holt, this John achieved the rank of Major in the service and died in Sumter Co., AL. Another source said that he moved to Mississippi at one point in his life. (C-2285)
