  • Notes 
    • This Thomas was of North Petherton Parish, Somerset when he wrote his will on July 20, 1626. It was proved at Taunton, England on Aug. 8, 1628. He named his wife, Jane, and daughters, Mary (named after his mother), Joane, and Elizabeth. His daughters were all under the age of 18. His brother (in-law) who was his sister Mary Coate's husband, John Woodborne and his cousin, Simon Reepe were named the overseers in his will of North Petherton, Diocese of Bath and Wells. Simon Reepe would have had the same grandfather as Thomas possibly helping us take the Coate line back further one generation if studied. He was buried at North Petheron, co. Somerset, England.*Calendar of wills and administrations in the court of the archdeacon of Taunton : (parts I and II, wills only) 1537-1799 All current references to early Coate's named Thomas lived in North Petherton Parish, Somerset, England.

      It is theory that he is the son of John of Drayton. I believe he is because he is of the correct age and place to be his son. He names a son John after his possible father. He has the same spelling of his last name in English records.s obviously trying to honor a relative named Thomas when he named a daughter Tomasin. The name Thomas was nonexistant except for this Thomas in early Drayton Coate families. If I've placed him correctly, he wasn't in his father's will indicating in this case that he had been given land already before his father's 1621 will and could be his oldest child. Land records in England could help prove or disprove this.

      He and his wife's birthday could have occurred years before the estimated dates. If it's years before, then he is a likely brother of Marmaduke married to Marie Somner. If he was born in the decade before 1623, he was likely a grandson of Marmaduke through one of his sons.
