CHARLES, THERE IS A SAMUEL (COATS) WHO WROTE CHARLOTTE LAST MONTH THAT IS FROM THIS SAME LINE. I HIGHLY SUSPECT YOU ARE TIED INTO THE FOLLOWING COATE FAMILY FROM PHILADELPHIA PENNSYLVANIA. THIS IS JUST A SKETCH AND DOES NOT SHOW HOW THE GEORGE'S GO BACK EXACTLY, BUT MIGHT GIVE YOU SOME GOOD LEADS.

1) A William Cotes witnessed the will of William Say, Shopkeeper, in Philadelphia on 7/27/1711. This William is probably listed as the son of Joan Clemson in her will dated Sep. 10, 1727 in Philadelphia. If so, his siblings were Mary Harris, Thomas, John and George. There is also a James Coates that is a bit younger in Philadelphia who was named in a 1721 will of Thomas Bradford. (C-1006)

1) The George Coate's, probable brother to above William, witnessed the will of William Say, shopkeeper in Philadelphia on Aug. 3, 1713. He wrote his will on May 31, 1736 in Philadelphia. He names son William and brother John in his will. Probated May 31, 1736. (C-1006) According to Gary W. Coats, this George Coate's is thought to be born about 1685 and his son William (#1.1) became Major William Coate, b. about 1721.

1) A payment was made to George Cote in the 1750 estate settlement of Jonas Keene of Salem Co., NJ. This is a likely son of the above William or his brothers, children of Joan Cotes Clemson.

1.1) A William married Mary Green on Nov. 17, 1757 in Charleston, SC. (C-419f) This William was born from 1721 to 1731 and is the possible son of George, the first Coat to buy land in SC on Nov. 6, 1751 on Jinkens Branch. (C-692) William and Mary's children were George (b.1763), Thomas (abt.1765), and Elizabeth (abt. 1767). (C-1069) This William had a sister named Catherine Coats. (C-419f&g) Note that George Coat is likely the same George who recieved a payment in a 1750 NJ estate settlement above. (C-1p.167, C-1093)

(NOTE THAT MANY OF THIS WILLIAM'S CHILDREN, FATHER OR SISTER, INCLUDE NAMES IN YOUR MORGAN'S FAMILY.)
