• Notes

  He and a Marmaduke Coate witnessed a will for Phillip West of Burton, Drayton Parish, Somerset, England in 1620. A likely son or nephew named Christopher left a will in Drayton Parish in 1669. It was probated in Taunton and was likely one destroyed by the bombings in World War II. It was obvious in the will that Phillip West was likely a widow who had grandchildren. This also suggested the age of Christopher and possibly Marmaduke as being peers.
