• Notes

  Christopher Coates believes that his ancestor, Thomas Coates, who was born in 1783 is this Thomas. The 1850 Philadelphia census has a Richard L. and Jane Sanford living with a Thomas Coats (age 67), his wife Mary and children, William and Marcy Ann (a possible nickname for Margaret). Christopher Coates' ancestor, Thomas is therefore of the right age and from the right place to be the Thomas who is the son of William and Margaret Norris. Jane and Richard L. Sanford appeared to have been borders in Thomas's home and were possibly brother and sister to each other instead of a couple. In any case, Thomas's wife's name is Mary P. Linslay and his son's name is William Henry Harrison Coats/Coates, b. 1841 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Chris feels that his daughter Marcy Ann, age 7 in the 1850 census was the Margaret who married Richard Sanford before 1860 census as Marcy is a nickname for Margaret.
