| Notes |
- In the 1800 Newberry Co. census, Jesse has a son and daughter under age 10 plus he and his wife are between 16 and 26 in age. Other persons on this same census page in the following order include: John, James, this Jesse, William (his?), William, Wright, Henry, and Moses Coat/Coats/Cote. It should be noted that the 1800 census was not in visitiation but alphabetical order instead. This would be before the actual marriage date I have for him, so that needs double checked. (C-419a, 1933) Jesse and his first wife had 10 children: Jane Coate, Abia Coate , Miles David Coats, William CoateCoats , Sarah Ann Coate, Elizabeth "Betsy" Coate, Anna "Anny" Coate, and Marena /Mariana "Rena" Coate. He and his second wife had the following children: Levi Cote Coat Coate, Eli Coate, Jefferson Coate, Elizabeth Coate, George W. Coate, Georgia Harriett Ann Coate, and John Coate. Benny Coate states that Jesse's second wife was Mary Johnson instead of Mary Coppock. (C-1626) In a dower release during what I suspect must have been a land sale, Catherine is listed as Jessie's wife and Sally (SarahAnn's nickname?), his mother when they release those rights. It is unusual for the mother to release rights, so I'd be looking for this to be land that his mother lived on after Thomas's death. Jesse sold the land he inherited from his father on Apr 23, 1806. (C-1938) It also provides proof that he is the son of Thomas and Sarah Ann: Deed - 23 April 1806. JESSE COATE, Newberry, Dist., S.C. to Frederick Gray, Newberry Dist., S.C. Sum of $200. Conveys all that plant, or tract of land cont. 100 a. more or less, being in Newberry District on a branch of Saluda called Bush Creek . . . . as appeared by a grant bearing date 14 day Aug. 1772 (Bk.ZM, p.46) from James Abernath to Thomas Coats and after dec. of Thomas Coate to Jesse Coate by heirship . . . . (signed) Jesse X Coate.Certified by Frederick Nance, J. P., that Sally Coate, the mother of within named Jesse Coate & CATY COATE, wife of the within Jesse Coate, did this day appear before me and . . . . released all claim, etc. . .signedSarah Ann X Coateher markCatharine X Coateher mark" (Quote from "Our Ancestors"c1939) Jesse moved his family from Newberry Co., SC to Columbus, McMinn Co., TN in 1818 and to Miami Co., Oh in 1830. He is likely to be the Jesse living in Newton Twp., Miami Co., OH in the 1835 tax lists because he is living next to his son Miles in those records. Lastly he moved to Mason Co., Ill. where he bought 80 acres for each of his sons. The 1850 census for Jesse Coates in Mason Co., IL says that he was born in North Carolina. However his family lived in Newberry District, SC from 1791 onward, so this is likely in error.
