• Notes

  In the PA Gazette on Mar 25 1762, three lots are listed as for rent by Robert Knox or Abraham Coates. One of them is near Abraham's Tanyard on the East side of Front Street and one of them abutts William Coate's lot on the West side ofs Street in Northern Liberties (now a part of Philadelphia). The closeness with which Abraham and William owned property suggests a relationship between the two to me. Of course, there are multiple William Coates living in Philadelphia at this date, so we are not yet sure which William is being referred to. (C-1784) It should also be noted that this Abraham named his oldest son, William. In another PA Gazette dated Aug. 19, 1762, John Coates, Sr's, deceased, two lots were being sold off. The first was located on Front Street between Arch St. and Bank Meeting house. The second was located on an alley called George's Alley commonly called Coates Alley between Front and Second Street and bounded on the west side by Abraham Coats. John Sr.'s executive was Isaac Coates. (C-1756, 1757) Abraham seems to be listed as Abram Coats who is the executor along with his brother Warwick of Richard Jr. Wright's (their brother-in-law) will in 1748/9 in Philadelphia. Abraham again is listed as Abram Coates when he helped execute Isaac Dutton's will in Philadelphia on Mar 2, 1761. (E) In 1759, he was a witness for the following will:PA Will Book L #152 p. 241Will of Hannah PriceNorthern Libertiesson Johngrand son John Duttondaughter Hannah Dutton, Sarah Price, Rebecca Carpentergrandhcildren Rachel Collins, Hannah Collinssigned ?Wit Peter Miller, John Shuller, Abraham Coatsprobated April 4, 1759 In the PA Gazette on Mar 21, 1765, item#35425, it requests once more that all debts be paid to the estate of Abraham Coates of Northern Liberties, Tanner by the first of May.

A negroe man, tanner by trade and a negroe woman, about age 45 were to be sold. The executors of his estate were Susannah Coates, Eamuel Aires and Isaac Snowden. (C-1735, 1784) His will is in will book N, p. 151 in Philadelphia.
