Notes:

In the PA Gazette on Mar 25 1762, three lots are listed as for rent by Robert Knox or Abraham Coates. One of them is near Abraham's Tanyard on the East side of Front Street and one of them abutts William Coate's lot on the West side of Fronts Street in Northern Liberties (now a part of Philadelphia). The closeness with which Abraham and William owned property suggests a relationship between the two to me. Of course, there are multiple William Coates living in Philadelphia at this date, so we are not yet sure which William is being referred to. (C-1784) It should also be noted that this Abraham named his oldest son, William. In another PA Gazette dated Aug. 19, 1762, John Coates, Sr's, deceased, two lots were being sold off. The first was located on Front Street between Arch St. and Bank Meeting house. The second was located on an alley called George's Alley commonly called Coates Alley between Front and Second Street and bounded on the west side by Abraham Coats. John Sr.'s executive was Isaac Coates. (C-1756, 1757) Abraham seems to be listed as Abram Coats who is the executor along with his brother Warwick of Richard Jr. Wright's (their brother-in-law) will in 1748/9 in Philadelphia. Abraham again is listed as Abram Coates when he helped execute Isaac Dutton's will in Philadelphia on Mar 2, 1761. (E) In 1759, he was a witness for the following will:PA Will Book L #152 p. 241Will of Hannah PriceNorthern Libertiesson Johngrand son John Duttondaughter Hannah Dutton, Sarah Price, Rebecca Carpentergrandhcildren Rachel Collins, Hannah Collinssigned ?Wit Peter Miller, John Shuller, Abraham Coatsprobated April 4, 1759 In the PA Gazette on Mar 21, 1765, item#35425, it requests once more that all debts be paid to the estate of Abraham Coates of Northern Liberties, Tanner by the first of May. The house and tanyard of the deceased were to be lett and entered on immediately on Spruce Street opposite of Mr. Samuel NeaveGarden. A negroe man, tanner by trade and a negroe woman, about age 45 were to be sold. The executors of his estate were Susannah Coates, Eamuel Aires and Isaac Snowden. (C-1735, 1784) His will is in will book N, p. 151 in Philadelphia.

Abraham married Susanna WALLACE on 7 Jun 1750 in Christ Church, Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA. Susanna (daughter of William WALLACE) was born in in Of Philadelphia, , PA; died before 10 May 1781 in Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

William wrote his will in Kingwood (formerly Bethlehem Twp.,) Hunterdon Co., NJ in 1775. He had married a Jane Dupuy 3 weeks before making this will in which he named his grown children. He moved to Philadelphia, PA shortly after where his children by Jane were supposedly born. He is listed as a tanner of Northern Liberties, Philadelphia in his father-in-law's will written in 1793. He also owned land in Tinicum, Bucks Co., PA which is where he died in 1795. His estate included much land in both the last two places.

William married Jane DUPUY on 11 May 1775 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Jane (daughter of Daniel DUPERY) was born on 20 Jun 1749 in Philadelphia; died on 27 Aug 1816 in of VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

See attached sources.

Mary married Paine NEWMAN on 23 Aug 1774 in , Augusta, VA. Paine died in in of VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She is highly likely to be the Susanna Caotes that married Joseph Gladen on Jan 9, 1771 as she's the only Susanna of this time period whose spouse isn't known. If so, they became residents of VA. (C-1677, E)

Notes:

Isaac was possibly married in the same church, Christ Church, as his parents on Aug 4, 1788 to Mary Eyres. If so wife was his first cousin, once removed. Their common ancestor was John Coats and Mary Hale. Anne Mayea, a descendant, has a 1900's family tree that lists this Isaac as the son of John and Mary Hale Coats instead which would make he and his wife first cousins and of the same generation. Isaac wrote a will in 1790 (U, p. 49).

In that will he names his wife Mary, daughter Harriet and father-in-law, Manuel Eyre. He, himself, is listed as a carpenter. (C-1680, 1686, E) Isaac was also the likely witness in the following record: PA Will Book W page 130, Will of Mary Dutton-1786 she signed it - probated in 1791, she had land that bordered Coates Street-and Coates Alley-this is the Northern Liberties area, daughters Mary Eyres; Sarah - she also referes to a daughter Mary Lydia Eyres; Sarah Browne;-later she referes to her three beloved children, Mary, Lydia and Sarah; Witnesses Isaac Coats, Charles Bonnell and R. Whitehead. His transcribed will by Charlotte Coats Siercks is as follows: PA Will Book U p. 491 #193 Isaac Coates, of Northern Liberties, city of Philly, House Carpenter, wife Mary Coats, daughter Harriett Coates, father in law, Manuel Eyre, Esquire, signed March 4, 1790 Witnesses: Thomas Norton, R. Whitehead, Jacob Hoffman, probated May 7, 1790. To support the fact that this Isaac is the one married to Mary Eyers, his mother in her will names her good friend Manuel Eyers (who was the father to Mary).

Family/Spouse: Mary EYRES. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

He might be the Daniel in the following record: "Alexandria City and County Virginia Wills, Administrations and Guardian Bonds 1800-1870" by Patrick G. Wardell*Coats, Daniel; will 17 Aug 1819 - 19 Apr 1831; s/William; fr/Mary Ferguson; ex/Mary Ferguson; wit/John P. Shutt, C R Green, Constantine Dignum (W B4-9)"
