COATE, Jesse ¹

  General Notes:

There is a Jesse Coates who left a will in 1779 in Essex Co., (VA.) (C-1038) There was a Jesse Coates who received a post revolutionary land grant of 540 acres in Orangeburg, SC on March 4, 1787. (C-1071) There was a Jessee Coats owning 400 acres which were taxed in Capt. Hamilton's Co., (Creekmore?), Tennessee in 1799. There are three Jesse Coates of the next generation. One is Thomas's son Jesse born in 1781. One is Marmaduke's son, Jesse b. 1788. There is Jesse Coate who was listed as a free negro in Newberry deed records. He was freed and sold land by (Big) John Coate of Newberry District on Mar. 11, 1805. That Jesse obtained land in 1802 and 1805 that bordered on Big John Coats and Isaac Cooks. There is a Jesse that was one of four people, along with Mary Coats, Richard Leavell, and Joseph Jones that put up a 500 dollar bond in the administration of a William Coats will in 1804. (C-912) Again, no one knows if any of these apply to an actual son of the William Coates of the Bush River area in SC starting in about 1762. The Jesse that puts up a bond for the administration of the 1804 will is not likely to be him at all because William would have been over 100 years of age at this point in time.
