• Notes

  Her surname has been suggested to be Miles, Jones or Williams from the various correspondents I have on this person. (C-2081) Jones is the current theory from Gary W. Coats of Portland, OR. It in part is related to the naming pattern ofr first born son, James, who names his firstborn daughter, Nancy. In her will written in 1836, she refers to herself as being "a very aged and infirm woman". She names daughters Mary, Catherine and Sarah Kendall as well as granddaughter Peggy Coate. In fact, she gives her property and all residue other than her clothing to her granddaughter Peggy and makes her the executrix of her will. Peggy has always been an illusive clue. Any of her grandchildren would be in their 30's or 40's at this point in time. Peggy is obviously also unwed. It it not a common Coate name. The only Peggy Coate known is Peggy the daughter of Notley Coate as so named in Notley's will. If the timing is studied, Thomas and Sarah Ann could be the father of Notley and Notley the father of Peggy. Notley would have to be the eldest son of Thomas and Sarah Ann Coate. At this point in time, this seems like the logical connection for this Notley Coate. (C-266) Here is a transcription of her will provided by Karen Foster Montgomery. "Sarah Ann Coates, wife of Thomas Coates, survived her husband Thomas many years. Her death did not occur until 1837. An abstract of her Will, in which she says she is very aged and infirm, is as follows: Will: SARAH ANN COATE Newberry Dist., S.D. (sic) 8 June 1836 - pr. Sept. 9, 1837. Being very aged and infirm woman make my will . . . . as following: I give all my clothing (except my new cloak) to my daughter Mary Coate, Catharine Coate and Sarah Kendall. Second - my furniture to daughter Sarah Kendall. Grand-daughter Peggy Coate my new Cloak . . . . and son Exec.(signed) Sarah A. X Coate. Wits.: Hugh O'Neall John Sampson Summers Jno. B. O'Neall"
