• Notes

  Moses birth date is 9m 5d 1768 in Hinshaw's Encyclopedia. Moses purchased land in Newberry Co., SC on July 19, 1796 from John Perry. (C-908) He was in the 1800 Newberry Co. Census records listed as Mose Coates between the ages of 26 and 45. His wife was between the ages of 16 and 26. He had one son and two daughters under age ten. Moses and brother, Samuel went on a prospecting tour of Newton Twp., Union County, Ohio before they moved and were joined by their father Marmaduke. (C-27e) Moses sold his land in Newberry on Jan. 20, 1804 to Moses Kelly. Moses Coate and family officially removed to the Miami MM, Waynesville in Ohio with letter dated 2/25/1804. They purchased 161.24 acres in Range 5, Township 6, Section 5 in the Southwest Quarter of Union Township on Sept. 25, 1804. (C-55, 100, 253k, 556) They paid $1.61 in taxes on this property according to the 1810 Tax Duplicates (C-61b). He is also in the 1827 and 1835 tax lists for Union Twp., Miami Co., OH living next to his probable son, Joseph. (E) In the 1820 census, Moses and family are living in Union Twp., Miami County, Ohio with the following numbers of persons in their home: 4 Males under 10, 1 between 10-16, 1 between 16-18, 2 between 26-45, 1 over 45 and 1 female between 10-16, 1 between 16-26, 1 between 26-45 and 1 over 45. Moses is living next to his brother Samuel in this census. It appears that Moses left the Quaker Church, as there is a Moses and Betsy Coats and possible daughter-in-law, Margaret Coats (wife of son William Coate) who were charter members of the Greenville Creek Church of Christ on Aug. 9, 1843. If this record belongs to this Moses, he was disowned for immoral conduct by the Church of Christ at an unknown later date. Moses left a will dated the 16th day, 5th mo, 1842 in Miami County as transcribed herein. "In the name of the Benevolent Father of all..I Moses Coate of Union Township in the Count of Miami and State of Ohio do make and publish this my last will and Testament. First it is my will that my just debts and all charges be paid out of my Estate. I give and devise all the (residue) of my estate to Elizabeth Coate my wife both real and personal during her natural life except what is hereinafter devised. I give and devise to Sarah Jean Coate my grand Daughter one good bed & beding such as is common and also one Cow & calf when she shall arrive at the years of Eighteen. 4th I give and devise at the decease of my said wife all my real estate to my son Benjamin Coate..his heirs and assigns forever and that the said Benjamin Coate shall pay to my son Jesse Coate the sum of fifty dollars in a measurable time after the decease of my wife. 5th I give and devise all the reamining goods chattles & personal property whatsover there may be at the decease of my said wife to all of my children except Benjamin Coate, to be equally divided share & share alike... And lastly I do hereby nominate and appoint Samuel Coate executor of this my last will and testament hereby authorizing and empowering him to adjust release and .................?????..........do hereby revoke all former wills by me made in testimony whereof I have herunto set my hand and seal this 16th Day of the fifth month in the year of our Lord one Thousand Eight Hundred and forty two. Signed and acknowleged by said Moses Coate as his last will and testatment in our presence and signed by us in his presence. Wm Dulin, Davis W. Hayes, Henry Michael. (C-107, E) One of the Jay Family discussion groups suggested that he was killed by Indians. I think this story is mixed up with Moses Coppock who was killed by Indians but I have no verification at this point in time. Moses and his wife were the ancestors of Amanda Ellen Pemberton Townsend Krell, the head of the Coate Coppock Association trying to prove the validity of the land lease in the first quarter of the 20th century. (C-390q)
