Notes:

Henry was said to be the first white child born in that part of Hunterdon Co., NJ. He declared his intentions to marry on Aug. 13, 1752 in the Kingwood MM. He was from Buckingham, PA at the time. (C-1,46b,740) Even though his wife's name is not included in this record, Park states it was Deborah Newbold. Proof that her name was Deborah was on July 4, 1769 when Henry Coate, Blacksmith, purchased 4 acres paying 76 pounds he and his wife Deborah sold to Isaac Horner in 1772. (Park, App. P) He was the only child named in his father's will, although other siblings were alluded to. (C-1078) It is thought that he is the Henry Coate which who lived on his father John's land and wrote his will in 1787 in Hunterdon Co., NJ. (C-1, p. 62, p.174)

Henry's likely DNA is 2 points off at 37 points from Marmaduke Coate's DNA of Newberry, South Carolina (1738-1822). That means he has a 90% chance of being related to me within 12 generations. Though possible, this DNA distance suggests that Henry isn't Marmaduke's brother as sometimes stated in second hand sources but related a bit further back.

In his will, dated, Aug 26, 1787, he referred to daughters Betty Crooks and Lucy and three sons, Robert, John and Henry. His inventory was taken in 1787. These records need doublechecked in Book 29, pg. 280 for Hunterdon Co., NJ. There is a probate of an estate for Henry in 1806 whom we don't know which Henry it is for. His wife's name was unlisted in his 1752 marriage record. I believe this is the case because he married outside the Quaker church. I have found no Deborah Newbold or Deborah Coate in Quaker records, nor have I found his children in Quaker records leading me to question all but the above-named children in his will.

Henry married Deborah NEWBOLD on 13 Aug 1752 in Kingswood M.M., Hunterdon, NJ. Deborah was born about 1735 in Kingwood, Hunterdon, NJ; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Henry appears to be Robert's eldest son, as he and his mother were the executors of his father's estate in 1787. (C-1078) He might possibly be the Robert Cote who witnesses a deed between Veach and Ratlege in 1802 in Rowan Co., North Carolina. (E)

Family/Spouse: Unknown SMITH. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This might be the Amy who married James Paxon on Oct 26, 1780 in Quakertown MM, Pennsylvania (C-1679)

Notes:

She could be the Pheobe Coates from Doylestown, PA who married Mark E. Hall. (C-2054)

Notes:

It's likely that she is the Hester Earle mentioned in her Uncle John Coate's will in 1786 married to Caleb Earle. Her husband was her Uncle John's executor. She possibly is also the Esther Earl who then married a Mullins and then died on 9/21/1835 and was buried in Mt. Holly, Burlington Co., NJ. (Hinshaw)

Esther married Caleb EARLE before 1786. Caleb was born before 1766; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This Daniel might possibly be named after a Daniel Coates who wrote his will in 1741 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In other words, the Daniel in Philadelphia might have a common ancestry to this family as the name Daniel is not common in the family. (C-1665)

Notes:

She was unmarried at the writing of her father's will in 1787.

Notes:

He would have likely died before his brother John was born.

Notes:

This Mary might be the one that married Newman Paine on Aug. 23, 1774 in PA or that married Robert Cumming on Sep 7, 1774. (C-1677)

Notes:

Henry and his brother John are highly likely to be underage when their father died in 1787, as their education in a trade is provided for in his will. Henry might be the Henry whose estate was probated in 1806 in New Jersey.

Notes:

He is not in his father's will of 1787 and was obviously not having children after this point in time. I question whether or not he's a child of Henry and Deborah Coate though several of his children's names would match his siblings names.

Family/Spouse: Elizabeth CASE. Elizabeth was born in 1801; died in 1850. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She is probably the daughter, Betty Crooks referred to in her father's will. (C-1, p. 62)

Family/Spouse: Unknown CROOKS. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
