1. | Mathias COATS was born on 6 May 1774 in PA; died on 6 May 1816 in Of Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, PA. Notes:
Mathias is living in Northern Liberties in Philadelphia, PA in the 1810 census with his wife, children and a likely mother or mother-in-law. (EL) He went by the nickname of Mattie when he was deeded land by his future father-in-law, Asa Lord. In an 1880 census his daughter Maria says her father was born in Pennsylvania. He was a brickmaker by trade. In many 2nd hand genealogies, Mathias is listed as the brother to David and the son of Stephen Marmaduke Coates. However, an outstanding researcher, Linda Merlino and myself have not been able to find any 1st hand evidence of a Stephen Marmaduke Coates or his wife Polly McNutt in any 1st hand document. Their names are not carried down in this family line and it is a family line that always carries at least one of the parents names also. Because Mathias was a brickmaker in Philadelphia as were many of his descendants, it is theorized that he was descended from the William and Joan Sisom Coats who had 3 sons whom were brickmakers in early Philadelphia by some of his descendants. So far, YDNA is not backing that up. Two testers descended from Mathias are not related to a descendant from Thomas, son of William and Joan Sisom Coates. This is not a certain conclusion until we get more YDNA testers from William and Joan Sisom Coates' sons. None of these testers are related to the Marmaduke and Mary Coate Coppock group proving once and for all that Mathias is not the grandson of Marmaduke and Mary Jane Coppock Coate through an unproven son named Stephen Marmaduke Coate. Via an intensive study of autosomal Dna evidence on Gedmatch, I have now helped cousin, Carol Coates, determine via 4 triangulations between her father and descendants of Marmaduke and Sarah Mathias Coates that he was the daughter of their daughter Mary Coates born the same year her father died. Because his last name is the same as hers, it suggests he was born out of wedlock before she married and had children with a Mr. Swann. We definitely know that he is the son of Mary Coates, d. of Marmaduke and Sarah Mathias Coate. This is a line that is now verified back to the 1500's in Somerset, England via YDNA and more recently in this country by autosomal DNA.
Mathias married Ann LORD about 1797. Ann (daughter of Asa LORD and Mary DOWN) was born about 1782; died on 8 Oct 1819 in Of Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, PA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
