- He lived in St. George Parish, Dorchester Co., SC as an adult. He is listed as "the recently deceased son of Thomas Coates, a Maltman, of Glasgow, Northern Great Britain" in appointment of attorney to recover William's estate on March 21st/26th, 1753. He was listed as a sometimes minister in his father's will. According to some miscellaneous records from "Grampa" Joe Coates, William Sr. also had a son named John, born about 1755 in South Carolina. This date would be a little too late if it was his son, as he died in 1753 in Dorchester Co., South Carolina. This county is northwest of Charleston and southeast of Newberry Co. in what would have been partly in Berkeley and partly in Colleton District, SC at the time. (C-1638)
