• Notes

  He is named William with his 1st and 3rd wives and with wife Justin when son Henry was born and he was called WA Justin and his son WA was born. Here are the possibilities for his parentage.1) Sons of Marmaduke Coate and Phillipe Buffine are the only Drayton family carrying down the name William up to this period in time. From that line, only his son Samuel was of an appropriate age to be William A's father, so I consider this the most likely possibility.2) Richard's son Richard was born in 1603 and could be his father.3) The original John Cotte of Drayton's other sons that made it to adulthood whom were Henry, John and possibly Thomas could be his father. Only Thomas is in the records as having children.
