- I have included David as a possible son of Rev. Joseph and likely brother to his son Joseph. In couple military records, David witnesses Joseph's military aid where he provided 5 bushels of corn and 10 bushels of oats to the militray in 1784 according to Joseph's pension application in 1796. It's filed in Charleston in 1796, but it doesn't state where Joseph or David were living at the time. (C-1708, 1952)
Since this is the family that has Joseph in it, I am assuming that David is a brother that belongs with this family. Other circumstantial evidence that supports this is the fact that David lives in Kershaw Co., SC like his possible brothers starting with 1800 census, and he is of correct age to be their brothers. He lives directly next to Lemuel Coates of the same age, another brother, in the 1820 census.
He might be the David who married Eunice Coppock and had daughter Lavinia Coats. He was born before 1755 and he is probably the David who was over 45 in the 1800 census and beyond for Kershaw Co. He had 3 males 10 and under, 1 male between 10 and 16, and 1 between 16 and 26. His wife was over age 45 and they had a daughter under 10, and one from ten to 16. In 1810, he and his wife appear to still be living. They have 1 son under age 10, and one between 16 and 26. They only have one daughter left under age 10, the eldest having moved out. In 1820, he appears to be the David Sr. listed. He and his wife are still living. Two males from 26-45 live in the household. There is a young male under age 10 (I'd guess that to be a grandson of David, Sr.). There is a female from age 26-45 and a female from 16 to 26 also living with them. He lived next door to Lemuel (over age 44) (likely brother) and James Coates (age 26-44) (Likely son of David). By 1830, David disappears. The ages of his children place him as this David and not his Uncle David who would have been nearing 70 in the 1800 census, making it highly unlikely that he would have 4 children under age 10 at that point in time.
Living within a few houses of this David, is a widow, Winney Coats, age 16-26 years living with a daughter under age 10. From location, this Winney could easily be his daughter-in-law.... through a deceased son.
David is listed as the son of William Coates Sr. of Dorchester Co., SC in Staples' book. However, because I'm only finding 1 David in the census records, I suggest that it's more likely that he is a brother to Joseph and a son of the Joseph of Orangeburgh Co., SC whose apparent sons moved to Kershaw Co., SC at points in their lifetime.
He is in the following Kershaw Co., Court records: 7/30/1792 on the Grand Jury; 3/2/1793, suit, David vs. John Harwell; 2/3/1793, suit, David Coats vs. John Harwell; 8/8/1794, Suit, David Coats vs. John Harwell; 8/7/1795, Grand Jury; and 2/9/1796, Grand Jury.
