• Notes

  Henry is listed as Henry Couts in the 1860 census for Miami, Ohio. Henry W. Coate is in the Union Twp., Miami Co., 1880, Ohio census records, p. 365a. He was 61, a dry goods merchant, born in Ohio. He listed both his parent's birth place as North Carolina. His wife in 1880 was Hannah, age 55, born Ohio and one son lived with them, Clarkson, age 16. If he is correct on his parents birth place, then Marmaduke and Mary Coppock, his grandparents would probably have been living in North Carolina before South Carolina and Ohio, too. (C-33, 384) H.W. Coate is listed in Beers History of Miami Co., OH as a dealer in groceries, dry goods, clothing, hats, caps, gents, furnishing goods, boots & shoes, tailoring, and Remington sewing machines. (C-10) He began that trade in the year 1867. Previous to that, he had been a farmer for 38 years. Previous to that he or his father are possibly the Henry Coates who was an Underground Railroad conductor along with a David Coates in Montgomery Co., Ohio. Henry W. appears to have written his will in 1848, but it was not probated until 1887 in Miami Co., Ohio (C-1025)
