| 4 | John Gum of Augusta Co., VA sold land to Jacob Gum, tanner, of Sussex Co., Delaware for 20 lbs in 1767 where Jacob lived in Broadkill Hundred called Hatfield Wood. Part of this land was sold by Moulson to Roger Gum, grandfather of John Gum and great grandfather of Jacob Gum. Roger Gum by will gave his land to son John Gum who died intestate giving the land to several of his children, one of which was John. | GUM, John (I14788)

|
| 7 | This or James' son could be the Patrick who had 149 acres being surveyed where he lived on Reed Creek in 1748 in Augusta Co., VA. He is likely the Patrick who witnessed the deed of Robert and Mary Ewing in Lunegan Co., Virginia in 1755 where they were selling land that they'd previously purchased in Roanoke Co., Virginia. | CALHOUN, Patrick (I15497)

| 11 | He is likely the Mareen Duvall who purchase "Duvall's Hunting Quarter" of 100 acres on Nov 1, 170? and "Duvall's Range" of 200 acres on Nov 2, 1710, both in Prince George's Co., Maryland. He is also possibly the Mareen Duval Sr. who left a will in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland in 1741. According to a book that included the "Fairview" home, this Mareen lived at "The Hermitage", the Duvall homestead between Kensigton and Garrett Park. | DUVALL, Mareen "The Elder" (I10532)
|
| 12 | He was listed in the tax records of 1649 for a house in Dudley. He was absent from the 1655 taxlists and later indicating that he either had died by 1655 or he no longer owned property. (C-1364) Even though his wife is listed as a Margaret in Hansen's work, this might not be true, as there was a second John Bagley, Gemsmith, who died in 1643/4 in St. Edmund's Parish, Worcester, England who could have been married to her instead. Which is correct is not currently known. | BAGLEY, John (I3476)

| 13 | Here is the obituary of Elanor Powell John transcribed by my Gr. Aunt Grace in her handwriting. Items in parenthesis were added from a similar obituary transcribed in Beers "History of Darke Co., OH". "Died June 22, 1848 at the age of 81 (4 months, and 12 days), (2nd child of 8) of Rev. David Powell (Baptist) of Bedford Co., Pennsylvania Jan 25, 17(8)5. She married David John of Little Cove, Franklin Co., PA and became the mother of 13 children. On the spring of 1810, the whole family emigrated to Madison Twp., Montgomery Co., Ohio. On Nov 12 (10th), 1812 David John died leaving Eleanor in charge of a large family in a new country to encounter all the privations of such a situation as best she could. (but being a woman hale and industrious and with a confiding trust in God, she was enabled to bring up her family respectably and to see them settled in life. At the time of her death her children numbered thirteen, her grandchildren seventy-one, her great grandchildren thirty-seven, making her descendants 121.) She was a consistent member of the Wolf Creek Baptist Church where she maintained a very credible standing all through the years. She was as well and extensively known, loved and respected by both the rich and the poor as any other woman of her day and time. " (C-363) Elanor is in the 1820 census for Madison Twp., Montgomery Co., Ohio She purchased Troy lots 102, 110-111 in 1832 in Miami Co., OH that had been purchased by many of her children in 1830. In 1835, son Joseph R. John purchased Troy lot 111, probably from her. (C-2316) | POWELL, Elanor (I8433)

| 14 | His full title was Earl of Comyn, Viscount de Conteville and Baron of Toursbourg. He was a direct descendant of Charlemagne. He had the surname 'de bourg" from his father who was the commander for the kings fortified towns. The words for fortified towns in French was "de bourg". This surname later became de Burgh, Burke and Bourke in various descendant branches. | DE BOURG, Herluin Viscount De Conteville (I9316)
|
| 15 | In the 1800 Newberry Co. census, Jesse has a son and daughter under age 10 plus he and his wife are between 16 and 26 in age. Other persons on this same census page in the following order include: John, James, this Jesse, William (his brother?), William, Wright, Henry, and Moses Coat/Coats/Cote. It should be noted that the 1800 census was not in visitiation but alphabetical order instead. This would be before the actual marriage date I have for him, so that needs double checked. (C-419a, 1933) Jesse and his first wife had 10 children: Jane Coate, Abia Coate , Miles David Coats, William CoateCoats , Sarah Ann Coate, Elizabeth "Betsy" Coate, Anna "Anny" Coate, and Marena /Mariana "Rena" Coate. He and his second wife had the following children: Levi Cote Coat Coate, Eli Coate, Jefferson Coate, Elizabeth Coate, George W. Coate, Georgia Harriett Ann Coate, and John Coate. Benny Coate states that Jesse's second wife was Mary Johnson instead of Mary Coppock. (C-1626) In a dower release during what I suspect must have been a land sale, Catherine is listed as Jessie's wife and Sally (SarahAnn's nickname?), his mother when they release those rights. It is unusual for the mother to release rights, so I'd be looking for this to be land that his mother lived on after Thomas's death. Jesse sold the land he inherited from his father on Apr 23, 1806. (C-1938) It also provides proof that he is the son of Thomas and Sarah Ann: Deed - 23 April 1806. JESSE COATE, Newberry, Dist., S.C. to Frederick Gray, Newberry Dist., S.C. Sum of $200. Conveys all that plant, or tract of land cont. 100 a. more or less, being in Newberry District on a branch of Saluda called Bush Creek . . . . as appeared by a grant bearing date 14 day Aug. 1772 (Bk.ZM, p.46) from James Abernath to Thomas Coats and after dec. of Thomas Coate to Jesse Coate by heirship . . . . (signed) Jesse X Coate.Certified by Frederick Nance, J. P., that Sally Coate, the mother of within named Jesse Coate & CATY COATE, wife of the within Jesse Coate, did this day appear before me and . . . . released all claim, etc. . .signed<tab><tab>Sarah Ann X Coate<tab><tab><tab>her mark<tab><tab>Catharine X Coate<tab><tab><tab>her mark" (Quote from "Our Ancestors"c1939) Jesse moved his family from Newberry Co., SC to Columbus, McMinn Co., TN in 1818 and to Miami Co., Oh in 1830. He is likely to be the Jesse living in Newton Twp., Miami Co., OH in the 1835 tax lists because he is living next to his son Miles in those records. Lastly he moved to Mason Co., Ill. where he bought 80 acres for each of his sons. The 1850 census for Jesse Coates in Mason Co., IL says that he was born in North Carolina. However his family lived in Newberry District, SC from 1791 onward, so this is likely in error. | COATS, Jesse (I4638)
|
| 16 | Isaac and his wife Anna show up in Ponca City (OK?) apparently out of nowhere, years after his last recorded info where he is mentioned as a young child in his father's will. (C-2271E) | COATE, Isaac (I5881)
|
| 17 | It is not known with certainty that James is a son of Joseph and Elsy Tharp. He is in the 1820 census for Gallia Co, OH where this family lived for several years before moving to Indiana. Dana Norton conjectures that he may be the husband of Jane Tharpe found in Boone Co., IN from 1840-1860. She died in 1864 and listed the following children in her will: William Joseph, Sarah, Elcy, Elizabeth and Mahala. (CL-425, 432) | THARP, James (I5129)
|
| 18 | Matthew was on the militia rolls in 1742 in Augusta Co., Virginia. Men joined the Militia rolls when they were 16 at that time period according to researcher and lawyer, Janice McAlpine. If this is the first roll he was on, then it's likely that he was born by 1726. They typically acquired land at age 21, and he obtained land 5 years later, again suggesting that he was born about 1726. The following from Chalkley applies to this Matthew Young and his father. In Vol. 3 of Chaukley, Matthew sells land given to him by his father: Page 160.--4th January, 1750. Mathew Young and Agness to Peter Wallace, 150-1/2 acres. Bought by James Young from Borden, recorded in Orange and conveyed by James to Mathew. On Whistle Creek of James River; corner to Low Todd. Teste: Joseph Lapsley, Richard Woods. Then later in the year, Matthew purchases more land from his father James: *Young, James (Sarah) 1750, for 12p; 150 1/2 acres sold, 1750, Matthew Young for 12pence... or a repeat of it in Vol 318-May 1760 James Young, miller, to Matthew Young, farmer, 150-1/2 acres, where Mathew lives on Whistle Creek of James; corner Lou Todd. Teste: Arthur and Abraham Brown, James McCown" when it might have been recorded at the settlement of James' estate. | YOUNG, Matthew (I11234)
|
| 19 | Moses Coates is listed as a brother in law in the 1775 Chester Co. PA will of Abraham Musgrove naming his sister, Hannah Coates, wife of Moses and his sister's children Elizabeth and Hannah Coates who were under age 18. | MUSGROVE, Abraham (I10687)
|
| 20 | She could be the Mary Coate living near brother Josiah Coate in the 1840 and 1850 Newton Twp., Miami Co., OH census. | COATE, Mary (I5112)
|
| 21 | She is listed as a Weaver in the 1860 census and head of household. | EVANS, Julia (I7998)
|
| 22 | She was a twin. Her name is either Witty or Hitty depending upond whether the difficult to read first letter of her name was a W or an H. It is the same first letter as her brothers. | COATE, Witty (I11246)
|
| 23 | There is a John Coates listed in each tax roll for Philadelphia Co., PA along with Warwick in 1769 and 1774. John is listed as not taxed in both cases. In July 1777 he could have been the John who was on the Philadelphia militia rolls, 6th Battalion, Capt. Mash's Co., indicating he served his tour. | COATES, John (I6354)

| 25 | When Henry married Elizabeth Scaife in 1725-26, witnesses were Deborah, Elizabeth, and Joseph Large (not Joseph Sr.) as well as Richard Lundy.(C-257) | LARGE, Henry (I8123)
|
| 26 | William Cornwell's wife is theorized to be Mary Hyanno, an Indian princess. Though no first hand evidence has yet been found to support this claim, there is circumstantial evidence that supports this theory. (F-634) 1) Hartford Puritans in that time period would not recognize or record a marriage between an Indian and themselves, but they did record the children's births. All other marriages for the town of Hartford are recorded except for William Cornwell and his wife, Mary even though William's children are recorded. 2) When the Puritan band led by Sgt. William Cornwell removed to establish Middletown, CT. in 1650, the maiden names of all of the Puritan Women were again recorded, but not William Cornwell's wife, Mary. 3) After the Pequot Indian War, Sgt. William Cornwell, was appointed by the Hartford Puritans to purchase Cummaquid/Narangasettt Indian lands which he negotiated with and through Mary Hyanno's father, Chief Hyanno. 4) William was the original owner of lands on Indian Hill in Middletown, Connecticut, a town he helped found. 5) Naragansset and Wampanoag tribe records supposedly include William Cornwell in their traced lineages, though they will not currently verify this lineage for their fears that persons seeking that information are simply trying to take advantage of their recent economic gains as a tribe. (BETTY SULLIVAN, bettysul@inw.net) It should be noted that an entire Bearce line claims that this Mary Hyanno married an Augustine/Austin Bearce instead, but this is effectively put in question in the "American Genealogist", Vol. XV (1938-9). Catherine Judd and I have found further evidence that this Bearce line was first published by Franklin Bearse in the 1900's when he was trying to claim Indian ancestry during the depression to get help from the government. He added a middle Indian name which was not his name at birth or on his social security application and claimed to be descended from at least 3 Indian princesses, two of which Jacobus in the "American Genealogist" disproved. The third was Mary Hyanno but Jacobus considered it highly suspect because of all the falsehoods in the lineage. (F-642, 642a, 2376) It should be noted that there is no Augustine Bearse listed in any of the records of that town in the 1600's on the N.E.H.G.S. CD "Barnstable Massachussetts". There is an Austin Bearse listed in deed records of 1686. This Austin Bearce had a wife Mary, but this marriage is not listed in the Puritan records of the time for that community. That is a very rare occurance, as all the other marriages for the community were in the records. We do not know at this point in time for sure who was married to Mary Hyanno. I suspect that improved DNA testing will eventually sort out which family Mary Hyanno belongs to, the Bearce's or the Cornwells. | (HYANNO), Mary (I889)

| 27 | "Asael Coate was born the November the 21 Day at 3 oClock in the morning the 3 day of the week in the year of our Lord 1769" according to his father or mother's bible. His name has been found in later records to be spelled Asahel Coats instead. He is listed in his mother's will and is given her estate. The will is dated 1825 in it's transcribed form. | COATE, Asahel (I8282)
|
| 28 | "Combination Atlas Map of Grant Co, IN" by Kingman Bros. 1877, in an article written about Enoch P. Jones, M.D., of Marion, Grant Co, IN states this about his ancestor, "Richard Bright Jones emigrated from Wales to America, settling in Opacon, VA." (possibly also known as Opeccin or Opecking, near Cape Fear) "...he married Miriam, daugher of Aaron Coppock." | JONES, Richard Bright (I1247)
|
| 29 | "Early Families of Pennsylvania" gives her name as Mary Jane Harp instead. (C-2408) | HAWKIN, Mary Jane (I246)
|
| 30 | "Early Families of Pennsylvania" states that she may have been the Elizabeth married to an Adam Frey who had children with him baptized at Oley Hill. | HARP, Maria Elizabetha (I1925)
|
| 31 | "Thomas married second on 2 May 1647, Margaret Elson, widow of John Elson, who had been killed by the Indians in the Wethersfield massacre of 1637. There were no children from the second marriage. In his will, Thomas also gave to his wife Margaret, "All the linen that I have in my possession that was of her own spinning." Margaret is said to have been before her marriage to Elson, the wife of, possibly, Hugh Hilliard, or Hillier, by whom she had three children, Ben, Job, and John. She died 1670-1. Her will dated 19 January 1670/1671, mentions her grandson William, son of Job Hillier, deceased, Margaret Woustan and Sarah Holamouth, daughters of her son Benjamin Hillier, and the wife of her step-son Thomas Wright, (she gives her towe [tow] and if that was not enough, for her labor of love, her executors were to give more.) Inventory of her estate amounted to 82-19/8." | ELSON, Margaret (I16522)
|
| 32 | A coroner's report says she drowned in a pond on Mar. 3, 1696. The report was dated 8/4/1698. | VESTAL, Sarah (I1180)
|
| 33 | According to 1840 & 1850 Cherokee censuses, this Gideon was b. in 1811 in South Carolina. This matches Sion's Kershaw censuses. He and his brother John are buried within 2 miles of each other in what is now Etowah Co., AL. They moved there with their stepmother or possibly Gideon's wife, Sarah, after their father died. | COATS, Gideon E. (I6570)
|
| 34 | According to Margaret Holland's letter in the 1800's, "Bryan Coppock ... (who was baptized in 1645) probably found an impoverished business, & went to live near Tarvin. He died there in 1722, and was buried in Mobberley. He had issue Joseph, who may have been the same as that mentioned in the Register as of "Maud's House"-- very likely the present "Mode Cottage"-- about 1800, and the names of several children appear on the register..." There is a Bryon Coppock buried in St. Wilfreds, Mobberly, ENG in the 1700's. The grave and the name of his father on his tombstone is apparently unreadable. If it actually lists his father it's likely that he died as a child and would be a possible descendant of this branch of the family. (C-2293e) | COPPOCK, Bryon (I4355)
|
| 35 | Alice la Zouche is listed as the mother of Orabella/Arabella in most sources so far but her name is listed as Alice Noel, Sir William's second wife, in CD-100. (C-1367) According to "The Magna Charta Surities", Alice la Zouche is the daughter of Roger La Zouche, not the granddaughter through son Alan, as previously stated. (C-1368) | LE ZOUCHE, Lady Alice (I3105)
|
| 36 | Although he originally came to Massachusetts, by 1637 he served in the Pequot War of 1637 while living at Hartford, CT. He was among the founders of Norwalk, CT. Thomas had more than one wife. His first was apprenticed as a child. The Rev. John Eliot is quoted as saying they both "lived well approved by the saints." Only his son John's name is known of his probable children. | HALE, Thomas (I935)
|
| 37 | Although I've seen second hand sources stating that Joseph and family immigrated to Philadelphia, PA in 1704, there is a deed record dated Dec. 2, 1696 where a Joseph Coolsen witnesses the sale of 8 acres of land by Randolph Croxen of Chester (Co., PA) toThomas Powell in Chester Co., Pennsylvania I know that the spelling varies, but that spelling was only phonetic in those days. I personally believe that this Joseph is one and the same as our Joseph. (C-2136) At any rate, Joseph received a license to run a tavern or inn on March 28, 1704. He is on record as having sent one of his children to study at school with Pastorius, the founder of Germantown. He paid into the school fund from 1706-1708. Joseph and Margaret's children were Thomas, Margaret, and Samuel. Samuel died at age six weeks. A second son born in 1748 was also named Samuel. Both Margaret and Thomas raised large families, some of whose ancestors intermarried. At the marriage of Margaret Coulson to John Coppock, Joseph and Margaret were listed as Margaret's parents of Germantown, Philadelphia, Province of Penn. Her parents were already deceased at this point in time though the marriage record does not state that. Her parents are, however, missing from the witness list for the wedding as would be expected. (C-467, 2020) He is buried at the old Hood Cemetery in Germantown. Up till 1920, his stone was still visable and was the oldest standing in the cemetery. It's inscription read, "Here lyeth the body of Joseph Coulston, once husband of Margaret Coulston, Son of Capt. Thomas Coulston of Hartshorn in old Derbyshire, England who departed this life the first day of February 1707/8, ages 38 years and 8 months. It is highly likely that this stone was placed there years after his death as Quakers would not have listed a Feb. date, but a month like 12mo 1707. They also did not use gravestones in the 18th century. (C-2020) Charles Coulson Rich, a well known early Mormon Church Leader, is a descendant of this line. (C-620, 1442) | COULSTON, Joseph (I1255)
|
| 38 | Annie was attending school at age 11 as she is listed as a "scholar" in the 1881 British Census records. In the 1891 census, she is still living at home, age 21, and a dressmaker by trade. Like her brother Thomas, her birth place is listed as Rugby, Warwick, England. | STEVENS, Annie (I10455)
|
| 39 | Benjamin and Elizabeth had a son named Jefferson Rawlins who was killed by Benjamin's brother, Martin Rawlins, in Wilkinson Co., Missouri. It is not known whether it was accidental or not. (E) | COATS, Elizabeth (I8902)
|
| 40 | Benjamin was born on Oct. 30, 1772 in Brighanter, TN according to descendant Charles Freemont Coppock, b. 1898. However, this date is the same date of Benjamin who was born to Joseph and Jane Coppock in Bush River MM records and is therefore, likely a mix-up. Benjamin was in the 1800 Newberry, SC census as a slave owner. He is probably the Benjamin who emigrated with James, John and Samuel Coppock to Miami Co., OH according to "The Annals of Newberry". (C-296, 2144) | COPPOCK, Benjamin (I7513)
|
| 41 | Brian W. Coate and family lived in the Northwest section of Columbus, Ohio when I last saw him at Margaret Besaw's third marriage on 10/10/2015. He was employed as the Vice President of Lancaster Pollard, a financial advice firm. | COATE, Brian Watson (I1536)
|
| 42 | Daniel's birth record in his or his wife's bible reads "Daniel Coate was born the 29th of october at 8 o'Clock in the morning on the first day of the week in the year of our Lord 1739." Daniel is in the 1773 tax list for Burlington, NJ. His estate papers provided by Dorothy Wiland are as follows: "1811 Filed an estate division: found on LDS microfilm 848867 Division of Land, Burlington 1798-1828 Recorded 6 November 1811 Joseph W. McCormick Whereas Daniel Coate late of the township of Evesham and County of Burlington deceased in his life time and at the time of his death by force and virtue of sundry conveyances and (assurances?) in the (law?) to him duly made and authenticated became seized of and in two hundred and fifty five acres of land situate in the township of Northampton and County aforesaid as by a late survey of the same recorded in the surveyor General's office, in the city of Burlington in Lib AA p. 220 will appear and being so thereof seized departed his natural life intestate.

In witness whereof the said Michael Coate, Asahel Coate, and Samuel Coate hath hereunto set their hands and seals the thirtieth day of May in the year of our lord one thousand eight hundred four. (1804) Following this paper, is another that repeats, almost exactly, the above plus a physical description of the property and it seems that both of these papers were filed together in 1811. | COATE, Daniel (I7941)

| 45 | Even though various second hand sources like CD-100, #4227 and the "Brinton Genealogy" state that Anne's father was a William Biddle. This is conjecture based upon the burial record for a William Biddle in St. Thomas Parish, Worcester, England on Feb. 4, 1625/6. (C-1364) Her mother may have been the widow Biddle who was buried the 6th of November 1641 in Sedgeley Parish records, Staffordshire, England. (C-2131) | BIDDLE, Ann (I2125)

| 46 | Francis emigrated to Guilford, CT with the Kent and Sussex Co. followers of Rev. Henry Whitfield. He and his brothers were among the few listed as "Mr. and Gentleman" in Guilford's founding history. When Guilford and New Haven voted to join their plantations, Francis opposed it. He was brought to court before the magistrates and deputies on Aug. 14, 1645 because of this. He died unmarried two years later and his estate went to brothers, Thomas and George Chatfield. He apparently was buried in a Cathedral back in England after his death. (C-1420, 1453) | CHATFIELD, Francis (I4707)

| 47 | Gabriel filed receipts to recover supplies that he had taken by wagon for use inthe "Battle of Bexar". The division reached G.Cole's place on the Sam Bernard at mid-day and Santa Ana rested his troops there. On April 10th, their march resumed after they confiscated 20 barrels of sugar and 12 hundred twenty five bushels of corn. (History of Texas by J.H. Brown at Fort Bend County Library. Excerpt from Almonte's diary) " Saturday, April 9 [1836]. at 5 A.M. we left San Felipe with the choice companies of Guerro, Matamoros, Mexico and Toluca with fifty cavalry of the Tampico regiment. At half past 12 we arrived at Coll's [Cole's] farm six and one-half leagues [from San Felipe]. Three Americans were seen who took the road to Marion [Columbia] or Orizimbo [Old Fort] and leading to Thompson's Ferry. We found at the farm a family from Lavaca who came by way of the Brazos. Various articles were also found. The husband of the woman was a mulatto, the woman was white. We sent Wilson, the husband, to reconnoiter at Marion, that is the ferry. He did not return. It rained at night and the wind blew from the north." In the "History of Fort Bend County, Texas" by Clarence Wharton, c1939 Tx State Archives" the following information is available according to Dobie, a researcher in this line. "In those days the road from Columbia to San Felipe did not follow the meanders of the Brazos but passed Damons Mound and Mrs. Powell place on Turkey Creek about a mile from the Bernard, thence up by Gabriel Cole's across the prairie and on to San Felipe." page 72, Chapter VI Settlements on the Bernard pg 64........Only two permanent locations were made by the Three Hundred on the Bernard in Fort Bend county-James Beard, the saddle maker, cook on the schooner "Lively", and James Scott. The other Bernard locations from Gabriel Cole down to James where the south line of the County leaves the Bernard for the Brazos came later. At the time of the Revolution there was a solid tier of Mexican grantson both sides of the Bernard. Gabriel Cole whose survey lies in the Big Bend of the Bernard at the most north and westerly corner of the county, came from Maine [this is in error, should be South Carolina] in 1832 and got his grant that year. In 1835 he joined the patriot army at Gonzales and was at the siege of Bexar in December. In the following March when Santa Anna's Army was on its way to the Brazos ,Gabriel took his family and fled with the runaways. Later we shall see that his humble homestead on the Bernard was the camp site for the Mexican army on its way to the Jesse Thompson Ferry on the Brazos in April. After the Revolution he continued to live on his land until his death in 1846.[Cole probably lived on the Charles Baird Survey at this time. See Act of Congress. 1839, Vol 3, pg 40] Below Gabe Cole's, Andrew Northington from Kentucky came with his family." In the "History of Fort Bend County.......pg 87 "The act creating the County [Fort Bend] and fixing its boundaries was passed 29 December 1837. On the east side of the Brazos the County line began at Bigham's upper line and followed the old line between Harrisburg and Brazoria for three leagues, when it took a tangent to the north to a low elm at the head of Bray's Bayou. by various turns the upper lines returned to the Brazos along the south line of Churchill Fulshear's league leaving the old sailor outside the County Boundaries. Crossing the river here it went up the west bank ten or more miles to the mouth of Sixteen Mile Creek and thence over to the Bernard at Gabriel Cole's corner. The Bernard formed the West boundary down to the southeast corner league 8 and from there in a direct line to the south prong of Cow Creek which followed to the Brazos, reaching the river ten or more miles farther down than the starting point at Bigham's." | COLE, Gabriel (I10559)
