Notes |
- He and Rebekka are listed as having a daughter Mary in 1741 in the birth records, but he wasn't listed as marrying until 1745. The 1745 marriage did not include the name of his wife. All other children were born after his marriage. T1 birth is recorded as the daughter of Warwick and Rebekka also. Warwick was a shipwright of Moyamensing, Pennsylvania. Warwick was described as living near James Keappock on Society Hill in Philadelphia, PA when he was helping rent a new 3 story home in the same place. He is likely the Warwick Coates who donated 5 pounds for the establishment of a hospital in Philadelphia which was reported on May 29, 1755 in the Pennsylvania Gazette. He, James Keappock and Richard Dennis were trying to rent a 3 story house with 2 large kitchens on Dec. 30, 1756 in this same newspaper. Warwick apparently had a son who died on Nov 2, 1758. He was not named. (C-1685) He or his son Warwick were in the 1769 Proprietary Tax rolls in Southwark Districk, Philadelphia Co. owning 1 cow and 2 servants. His will dated 1782 is in book S, p. 72 in Philadelphia Co. (C-1665, 1749) He was a Revolutionary War Soldier as depicted in the following DAR index.
