Notes |
- Collins states that she believes this Rebekah married James Coate who was the son of Big John. However, Big John's son James is the James that is attributed as having married Mary West instead.
I personally believe that this is not the Rebecah married to James. There is a James Coates married to a Rebecah in Newberry, South Carolina. However, this James birth date can be calculated to be in the 1730's as he was likely son of Henry and Esther Coate. She could not therefore, be the Rebecah who married James in Newberry, South Carolina as he was way too old for her. They had purchased land by 1768 in that county.
