• Notes

  Moses willed his son, Benjamin, his plantation (in Charles Town) plus 21 acres purchased from David David when he died in 1761. This is the Benjamin Coates who offered a reward of 3 lbs for John Wilson, age 21, who had "absconded from hi" as in the PA Gazette on Jun 3, 1762. Benjamin was living in Charles town, Chester Co., PA at the time. (C-1755: #28750, C-1977) According to R.K. Montgomery, this family named Benjamin and Ann Longstreth Coats had children from 1758 till 1802. That would be over a 44 year period. Though possible, this is unlikely. I therefore suspect that the later children are by one of his sons, though this remains to be verified with actual records. It is probable that some of Benjamin and Ann's children moved to North Carolina. I say this because of their daughter Cicely. She is the only Cicely Coates I have found in this time period, and there was a Cicely Coates who married a William Willis in Rowan Co., NC in 1810 and whose bondsman was Abner Coates (brother or father??). The census records for N.C. include a William and a Benjamin that might be her brothers. This needs checked. Family tradition is that Cicely came from a family with a lot of girls in it and this one would certainly match that tradition.
