• Notes

  He was listed at age 56 in his burial record. By age and place he fits in this family as the son of William and Joan. Thomas Coats witnesses his wedding. He is listed as the son of Marmaduke and Margaret in his christening record. He is likely the William Coate who was a husbandman and took on the apprenticeship of William Wheller on June 4, 1775 in St records. There is a Henry Coate of Aller, b. bef 1777, with a wife named Grace who is most likely a son of this William and Elizabeth Coate, but that is theory. He is of the right age, same place and would have been named after William's brother, Henry.
