• Notes

  Jesse was the youngest child of Moses Jr. Dr. Jesse owned much of the land of Coatesville, that was named after his grandfather. It did not become a town until Jesse Coate's time period. Jesse was a well respected citizen and prominent physician who did much for his community. He began his practice as physican in 1818. A joint building for public worship to be used by the Episcoplians, Baptists, Presbyterians and Methodists was erected in 1832. He was one of three persons to whom this property was deeded and as such was a manager of the building. He sold much of his land to enterprising persons who would further the development of Coatesville. (C-1601, 1615) His cemetery stone can be found in a current day backstreet of Coatesville, Pennsylvania. His death date on it does not seem to agree with the one published for him in 2nd hand sources. It appears to be 3/3/1868 instead but it is very difficult reading. However, sources like "The Pennsylvania Genealogical Catalogue: Chester County 1809-1870" state on August 8, 1868, VILLAGE RECORD, Death Notice COATES - On second day, the 3d inst., Dr. JESSE COATES, in his 73d year.
