Henry COATE ^{3 4 5}

  General Notes:

Henry lived in Sterbridge (Hambridge), Curry Revell, when he married Anny Cary in 1700. According to Gary W. Coats of Portland, OR, he came with his brother James to America sometime after his father, John and brother Samuel came over. He appears to be the Henry Coate that is in the Quaker Monthly Meeting Minutes, book 2 held at 20 different locations in Somerset Co., England from 1687 till 1723. Henry first appears in them a couple times in 1692. His next apperance in 1696, then in 1700 when he requests marriage to Ann Cary. He is consistantly in the meetings from 1702 on till the end of the minute book in 1723. He is the only Henry I can find in this family of the correct age to account for the Henry who is oft in the Quaker Meeting records during this timeframe. (C-1347, 1542)

He might have taken a visit to America as he might be the Henry Coate witnessing his brother James's daughter Mary's wedding to Edmund Sands in 1720. He'd have to be absent from English meetings in that year for at least a 5 month period for this to be him. If he is not absent at these meetings, then it's more likely that Henry is a son of James that witnesses the meeting. ²

Henry married Ann CARY, daughter of John CARY and Joane KEENE, on 10/16/1700 in Middle Division M.M., Somerset, ENG.^{1 2} (Ann CARY was born on 9/30/1677.)
