I would like information about descendants of William Coats, born 1792,
Newberry Co., SC, who moved to Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and Kansas, last
known about 1870. Also, information about his wife, Charlotte Wright,
last known 1870-75, Kansas. Three of their sons, William, John and
Thomas homesteaded in Cowley Co. John died there and William and Thomas
moved. I believe that William is buried in Perkins, Oklahoma. The
Phenis family was related in some way. Any information will be
appreciated. Thanks. Kathleen
Hi,
I am interested in finding out information on John Coates [born: 8/30/1792 in Scotland]
[died: 12/12/1876 in SC] [buried: Providence Presbyterian Church cemetery in
Lowndesville, SC a very badly broken stone] [married: Lillian Bradbury or Bradberry]
[has at least one child--Nancy who was born in 1813]. He and his wife lived in
Newberry, SC.
Where in Scotland was he born? When did he arrive in South Carolina? What is the
marriage date and location? Who, besides Nancy, were his children? Also, any
information about Lillian would be helpful. :)
Thanks.
Barb
I am fairly new to the internet and new to this list. I am researching my
Coates ancestors who appear in Leeds (1825 - 1881, Bishop Wilton (1800+)and
Tadcaster (1824). If you can help please email me at the above. I will
happily exchange any information I have. Thanks June Chan.
Coate researchers, I'm signing off for awhile. I'm in graduate school and
have a ton of school work to do, and no time for genealogy right now
(unfortunately). For those who would like to keep in touch, cousins and
otherwise, please email me personally @ bskerwin(a)mindspring.com.

I just wanted to share with those of you who have an interest in
COATES/COATS that my sister, Wendy Lawton, was just published in the
Focus on the Family magazine this month. This is a Christian publication
witha considerable circulation. Her article, Footprints of Faith relates
to a letter she found that was written by our great-grandmother,
Elizebeth COATES/COATS. (She went by the former, grandpa went by the
latter.) <G>
The article has great picture of Grandma Coats and a photocopy of the
letter. It's just one more aspect of why we do genealogy.
Just FYI,
Jim
BTW, John Coates of IN, if you're on the list, please respond. Wendy
asked me to follow up on your query.
Looking for J.W. COATES found ca. 1880 in Jack Co., TX. Believe him to be
the same J.W. COATES in Limestone/Freestone Co., TX ca. 1860-1870 who married
Cornelia LAIRD and fathered Emma Jane COATES. JBrown7725(a)AOL.com
Hi Larry,
I am certain someone has theirs up on the net but I don't know
where. Maybe Linda, Charlotte or some other Coates-L members
may know something.

Hello,
I am researching information regarding a certain George Coats, who married a
Martha Martindale Leavell between Feb 1852 and June 1855. I believe that this
couple is buried somewhere in California, and I would really like to find out
where. I don't know if they were married in California or Ohio. They had 4
children, two of which died, and they are:
1. Ranalden Lycurgus Coats, b. 3-4-1855, m. Ida Woodard and had 5 kids,
Hazel, Minnie, Gladys and two more that died;
2. Sanford Irving Coats, b. 12-26-1857 and only lived about 3 years;
3. Alvin Esta Coats, b. 3-31-1860, m. Jennie Waymire and had five kids:
Bruce, Leslie, Arilla, Ethel and one name unknown;
4. Samantha Bell Coats, b. 6-19-1862, only lived about 2 years.
Thanks
Edie
I am looking for the Coats family of Harnett, Sampson and Johnston Co.,

lines please contact me. Thanks a million. LEARRY L. WARREN, DUNN, N.C.
Hi Cousins,
Just pulled some infor from my files that you might not have.
Edgefield Marriage Records Edgefield, South Carolina From the late 18th
Century up through 1870 by Carlee T. McClendon p. 37:
COATE, MARMADUKE, youngest son of John Coate, and MARY COATE, daughter of
James Coate of Edgefield, 1816. (A.N.)
COATE, MARMADUKE andNANCY ROTTON of Edgefield, 1827. (A.N.)
CLARKE COUNTY, ALABAMA CENSUS OF1850
146. Coate, M. 60 S.C. Co. surveyor $200
Nancy 48 "
Burr 22 "
Andrew 20 "
Simeon 17 "
Susan 12 "
Jessee 10 Ala.
Just thought this might be of some help for those who are trying to connect to
Marmaduke and Mary and Nancy. Of course, Burr, was from Mary.
Let me know if this is helpful.

Below are two different references describing the mass migration of the
Quakers from Newberry County, SC to Ohio.
One of the principal centers of Quakerism in South Carolina was in Newberry
County. The first Quakers to settle in the valley of Bush River were
William Coate and others. William Coate was living on Bush River before
1762. The Bush River Monthly Meeting was approved in 1770. Bush River was
one of thirty-three monthly meetings belonging to the North Carolina Yearly
Meeting of Friends. The Friends kept meticulous records of births,
marriages, and deaths. Bush River Monthly Meeting records extant consist of
one volume of birth and death records, two volumes of marriage records, four
volumes of men's minutes and one volume of women's minutes. Quakers were
disowned if they married out of unity (married outside the Society of
Friends) or if they owned slaves or went to war. Their dress was simple and
distinctive. The Friends shunned ostentation, feared God, and exerted a
wonderful influence on the work-habits and morals of the community. Bush
River Monthly Meeting flourished from its establishment in 1772 until 1802.
Out of a desire to live in a country where slavery did not exist, more than
100 members moved from the valley of Bush River to the vicinity of Miami,
Ohio, between 1802 and 1807. An itinerant Quaker minister, the Reverend
Zachary Dicks, preached such dire results from slavery soon after the Santo
Domingo riot that the Quakers were determined to cast their lot in free
country. They sold or abandoned many of their belongings and made the long
overland trip from Newberry to Ohio. The loss of the Quakers was a severe
blow to Newberry County. The moral influence of the Friends was missed, as
were the frugal and tidy farmers and artisans who comprised the Society.
Until the departure of the Quakers, Newberry sent flour, beeswax, furs,
tobacco, butter, cattle, and screw-augurs to market in Charleston. Later
only cotton was exported from this county; it of course was grown by slave
labor. Thus the economy of this county was directly affected by the removal
of the Quakers. An historical marker was erected at the site of old Bush
River Monthly Meeting in 1967.
(Information taken from "The History of Newberry County South Carolina
Volume One: 1749-1860" By Thomas H. Pope)
Between 1800 and 1804, a celebrated Quaker preacher, Zachary Dicks, passed
through South Carolina. He was thought to have also the gift of prophecy.
The massacres of Santo Domingo were then fresh. He warned Friends to come
out from slavery. He told them if they did not their fate would be that of
the slaughtered Islanders. This produced in a short time a panic, and
removals to Ohio commenced, and by 1807 the Quaker settlement had, in a
great degree, changed its population. Land which could often since, and
even now after near forty years cultivation in cotton, can be sold for $10,
$15 and $20 per acre, was sold then for from $3 to $6. Newberry thus lost,
from a foolish panic and a superstitious fear of an institution, which never
harmed them or any other body of people, a very valuable portion of its
white population. But they are gone, never to return!

John Belton O'Neall; Part Second by John A. Chapman)
"Little" John Coate>Henry Coate (brother to Marmaduke Coate)
Postal service was established in Newberry Court House village, SC in 1798.
The village in those early days had the only post office in Newberry
District. Henry Coate was the second postmaster beginning January 3, 1799
and served for two years. At this time the village consisted of the
courthouse, the jail, a post office, three or four residences, and a few
taverns and small stores. It had no churches, no schools, no newspapers,
and none of the other generally accepted cultural advantages; but they would
not be long in coming. Henry Coate was the deputy of Sheriff John Speake,
the first District Sheriff of Newberry, who was elected in December 1800.
Most of the business of the office was conducted by the deputy, who was a
man of business, and every way worthy of the trust. He performed the
disagreeable duty of executing the first man hanged at Newberry, William
Tate, otherwise called and better known as William Tannyhill, who was
convicted at March Term, 1802, and executed for horse stealing. Henry was a
Captain and commanded for many years the company of cavalry, originally
raised by Major William Craig and Frederick Nance, and finally commanded by
Captain John Cappleman. He was the surrogate of the Ordinary, Samuel
Lindsey, Esq. until November 1815. He was also the deputy of Sheriff Long
in 1807. After his marriage to his first wife, Elizabeth Long, he ceased to
reside in the village. After her death, he married her sister, Mary. He
died in 1827. He is remembered as a man of "many, very many excellent
qualities". (Information taken from "The Annals of Newberry in Two Parts"

Beth,
I don't know if you consider this concrete proof, but this is what I have:
The reference below names two of "Little" John's children, Henry and
Marmaduke.
The Newberry County, SC judges accepted John Coate's gift of two acres for
the public buildings of the county in 1789. John Coate became the first
real estate developer and proprietor in the community. Deeding a part of
the surrounding lands to his son, Henry Coate, John laid out a plan for the
new village surrounding the county seat. This plan included almost a
hundred lots of one-quarter acre each, with the lots grouped in squares of
one acre with bordering streets measuring thirty-three feet in width. The
public square was the focal point of the development. John Coate did not
live within the first village. In fact, the village did not extend beyond
his dwelling until after the death of his son, Captain Henry Coate. John
was a very skillful mechanic, capable of executing almost anything, as a
blacksmith, or as a silversmith. Two of his children, Henry and Marmaduke,
lived at different times in the village and had much to do with its
prosperity. (Information taken from "The Annals of Newberry in Two Parts"
Part First by John Belton O'Neall; Part Second by John A. Chapman)
This next reference (same source) states that Marmaduke moved to Alabama
after 1828.
Marmaduke Coate was an excellent surveyor. He prepared the maps of
Newberry, Lexington, and Richland districts which were used by Robert Mills
in his famous Atlas of the State of South Carolina. He made a plat of
Newberry Courthouse and the surrounding squares in 1823 to be used in
connection with the project to enlarge the public grounds. This plat was
forwarded to the legislature and remained in the miscellaneous records in
the State Archives until uncovered in 1968. Marmaduke Coate lived in
Newberry from 1812 to 1828. He married Mary Coate, the daughter of James
Coate, of Edgefield about 1816, who died in 1827; he afterwards married
Nancy Rotton, of Edgefield, and finally emigrated to Alabama. Duke (as he
was usually called,) from his youth was like Falstaff, not only full of
humor himself, but the cause of mirth and humor in other people. This made
him the boon companion of every idle man, in a village (which has been
always remarkable for the great encouragement it afforded to loafers;) the
consequence was, he contracted habits of drink, which led on to neglect, and
finally to ruin. No more honest and good-hearted man was ever an inhabitant
of Newberry. It is sad to think of the ruin which has come down like a
rolling wave from the storm-stirred mighty deep upon many such a man.
(Information taken from "The Annals of Newberry in Two Parts" Part First
by John Belton O'Neall; Part Second by John A. Chapman)
I do not have any information on Marmaduke Coate and Mary Coate's son,
Burrell Johnson Coate. Could you please forward some information on his
line?
Thank you,
Karen Cucchia
My gggrandfather was Peter Coats, He was a wagonmaster and led wagon trains
from Illinois to California during the gold rush. His daughter Augusta Coats
m. my g grandfather Henry Harrison Davis at 14 yrs. They settled near
Persia, Ia
and Shelby, Ia where they raised many children. I have the history from
Augusta
on down but can't seem to find anything on Peter Coats. The family history
says
he is related to James Coats of the Coats Thread Co. of Paisly England but it
is
no confirmed. EMail me GKarean(a)aol.com
Info on "Little" John Coate's grandfather, Samuel Willson:
Samuel Willson I, born 1681, brought to America when he was one year old,
died 1761 in the 81st year of his age; married Hester Overton, born 1682,
daughter of Samuel and Hannah Overton. They settled in Chesterfield
township where eight children were born to them; in 1730 they removed to
Franklin township in Hunterdon County, NJ.
About a mile southwest of the village of Quakertown in Hunterdon County, NJ
stands an old mansion. It is built of stone and high up on its western
gable appears the inscription "S H W 1735." The initials are those of
Samuel and Hester (Overton) Willson who builded there a house which was
destined to shelter many generations of their descendants.
The house gives evidence of having been well built; the walls laid up in
clay are firm and solid and will endure perhaps another century if no ruder
hand than that of time is laid upon them. The enormous chimneys almost
stone enough to build a moderate-sized house. In the western gable near the
date stone there is a small square loop-hold which one might suppose had
been intended for use in defending the castle against the attacks of Indians
were it not for the fact the owners thereof were members of the peace-loving
sect called Quakers. Running along the exterior walls on both sides is the
water-table; and an ancient pent-house protected one of the doors. The
partitions of the interior are of wood and are paneled all the way up to the
lofty ceiling.
Originally the huge beams were exposed to view, the ceiling being a
comparatively recent innovation. Two small windows set quite high in the
thick walls admitted but scant light and the general appearance must have
been somewhat gloomy.
The great fireplace with its stock-hold in the jamb speaks eloquently of the
pleasures of the olden time, for here the young people of the family with
their neighboring cousins and friends gathered around to enjoy social
converse and innocent games.
Among the many relics still preserved in the Willson family is a large
cupboard brought from England by Robert Willson the founder of the American
family. Other mementos are the original deed for the six hundred acres of
land dated 1730 and given by Jacob Doughty in consideration of three hundred
pounds of lawful silver money of the King's Dominions in America, the
marriage certificate of James and Martha (Laing) Willson bearing their
autographs and those of many of their relatives and friends, inventories of
estates, vendue lists, and many other old documents.
But the oldest and most interesting souvenir is a well worn Bible, the
several portions of which were printed at different dates and afterward
bound together; the last part is dated 1618 and is "The Whole Booke of
Psalmes collected into English Meeter by Thomas Sternhold, John Hopkins and
others, with apt Notes to sing them withal." Robert Willson's autograph
appears on one page, and those of Samuel and his sister Rebecca on another.
(Information taken from "Pioneer Families of Northwestern New Jersey" by
William C. Armstrong, published 1979)

A Memorial of the Time of the Death and Burial of Samuel Willson, Senior.
Our antient Friend Samuel Willson Died thee Nineteenth Day of the Twelfth
month 1761 and was Inter'd in Friends Burying Ground at Kingwood the
Twenty-Second Day of the Same Month about the Eightieth year of his Age. He
was a Minister many years which in a general way was well received amongst
his Friends. He was a Diligent attender of our Meetings both of Worship and
Discipline, till of late years when through his ability & Natural Strength
failed so much that he was not able to Stay During the time that Meetings
are generally held, His Life and Conversation (in a good degree) was Solid
Sober and Orderly, agreeable to his Ministry. He was Suddenly Seized with
Death not Lying any time Sick so that he had no time then to declare any
that might be on his mind to Speak to any of his Friends. Yet we have good
reason to Hope when we consider his former Conduct while he was in his
Health and Strength that he has gone to Enjoy that Immortal Crown that is
laid up for the Righteous.
Aged 80 years, 5 months, & 14 days.

Good Morning, CoateCousins
Thanks Karen Cucchia for the William Coate and James Coate data sent yesterday.
I have addresses for Beth Covan, Betty Perry, Karen Cucchia, Joan Cardon, Kay McCary, Linda Dudick, and two unknowns to me-William Sloan and Karen Montgomery for copies of the newsletter I set up with the sketch of Marmaduke on the front page. These newsletters will be going out today.
Someone please contact Brenda Kerwin <bskerwin(a)mindspring.com> in case my message still doesn't get through, and tell her what's going on. I'm sorry my email has been so messed up. I'm also sorry I have to use my son's computer for my genealogy and internet access. But, I still hope to get my own computer, someday.
Good Luck and Happy CoateHunting
