• Notes

  Daniel's birth record in his or his wife's bible reads "Daniel Coate was born the 29th of october at 8 o'Clock in the morning on the first day of the week in the year of our Lord 1739." Daniel is in the 1773 tax list for Burlington, NJ. His estate papers provided by Dorothy Wiland are as follows: "1811 Filed an estate division: found on LDS microfilm 848867 Division of Land, Burlington 1798-1828 Recorded 6 November 1811 Joseph W. McCormick Whereas Daniel Coate late of th e township of Evesham and County of Burlington deceased in his life time and at the time of his death by force and virtue of sundry conveyances and (assurances?) in the (law?) to him duly made and authenticated became seized of and in two hundred and fifty five acres of land situate in the township of Northampton and County aforesaid as by a late survey of the same recorded in the surveyor General's office, in the city of Burlington in Lib AA p. 220 will appear and being so thereof seized departed his natural life intestate. Sinced the alteration of the law directing the descent of real estate (__?) the twenty-fourth day of May one thousand seven hundred and eight (smeared page makes it read eighty) in consequence all his said land and real estate descended to and vested in Michael Coate, Asahel Coate, Sarah Page wife of Thomas Page junior, late Sarah Coate, John Coate, and Samuel Coate only children and heirs at law of the said Daniel Coate. And the said Thomas Page and Sarah, his wife being so seized of one equal individed ninth part of all and singular the land aforesaid, sold and conveyed the same in fee to the said Asahel Coate as by their deed dated the _____ day of _____ one thousand eight hundred and three as by reference to the same will appear. And the said John Coate being of one equal undivided two ninths of all and singular the lands aforesaid sold and conveyed the same unto the said Asahel Coate in fee by deed dated the _____day of _____ in the year last aforesaid as by reference to the same will appear. And whereas the said Michael Coate & Samuel Coate each of them holding two ninths of the land aforesaid and the said Asahel Coate, in his own right and by virtue of the conveyances aforesaid holdeth five ninths of the premises aforesaid and holding the same undivided as tenants in common and being willing and desirous that a full fair and compleate division of all & singular the lands aforesaid should be made between them & to prevent all causes of strife and litigation as well as to perpetuate amity and friendship between them have and by these presents do nominate constitute and appoint (Nathaniel?) Moore and Job Jones of the said county of Burlington commissioners to divide the same between them agreeably to the directions of the aforesaid recited act and the division being so made & authenticated under the hands and seals of the said Commissioners shall be binding and conclusive on them their heirs and assigns respectfully therein. In witness whereof the said Michael Coate, Asahel Coate, and Samuel Coate hath hereunto set their hands and seals the thirtieth day of May in the year of our lord one thousand eight hundred four. (1804) Following this paper, is another that repeats, almost exactly, the above plus a physical description of the property and it seems that both of these papers were filed together in 1811.
