• Notes

  She is listed as Jeane Coates, sister to Thomas Sisom when Thomas sent for her sons and asked them to come to Pennsylvania in 1693. In her will, she is listed as Joan Clemson, widow and names children Mary, wife of John Harris, William, Thomas, John, and George Coates. Her executor was her son John Coates. She obviously married an unnamed Clemson after her first husband, a Coates, died. (C-1006, E) Besides Thomas, she might also have had a brother or nephew named John Sisom. He apparently lived near her son William and witnessed a deed contract William made in 1746 selling land to Peter Aldermost through a yearly rental fee for a period of years. The land became Peter's in a deed recorded in Philadelphia in 1767. John's widow, Ann Sisom, testified that he had witnessed the deed back in 1746. After hunting for Sisom's in every county in England, the name was commonly spelled Sisson instead. The large majority of Sison's lived in Yorkshire, England. The only family I found that had both a son Thomas and daughter Jane Joan (Jana in latin) was in West Riding, Yorkshire, England, the same place where grandson William traveled and married his wife. However, Joan's age is unexpected. She was born in 1734. The likely reason researchers could not find her in England was because she was born earlier than thought and married before she married a Coats. Her marriage to what we now have documentary evidence for as John Coates would have been her 2nd marriage. She first married Thomas Robinson in July of 1662. He passed 5 months later. Somewhere after she married Thomas Robinson and before she married John Coats, she became a Quaker. John and she (under the name Jean Robinson) married in 1664 in a Quaker Monthly Meeting. He likely died in Yorkshire, England in 1693. She would have brought mostly grown children to the U.S. near the age of 60 sometime in the early 1700's. The Quaker religion was very new when they were drawn to it's radical ideas at the time. Quakers endured great trials in England as they did not believe in paying tithes to the Church of England. They also believed everyone was equal and did not address authority in a way that denoted their superiority. We now know that John and Joan practiced the Quaker faith in Thirsk and the Church of England religion in Bolton Upon Swale, both in Yorkshire. This fits all the 1st hand records for the ages of their children according to Philadelphia records. The named 3 sons John and 2 daughters Mary indicating that the younger named children had died before renaming a child the same name. Their two locations suggested that they might have had a summer home or at least were of the wealthy class.
