COATE, Caleb ¹

  General Notes:

The following information is provided by Dan Buckley. "On 4 Apr 1846 Caleb and his family were granted certificate from Union MM, Ohio to Mississinewa MM in Indiana. They appear in the records of Honey Creek MM, Indiana which was first held on 14 Nov 1846 after being set off from Mississinewa MM. Children born before 4 Apr 1846 will be shown as born/died in Union MM.

On 12 Sep 1860 Lydia and children Rebecca, Mary & Lydia Jane were received back at Union MM on a certificate from Honey Creek, MM dated 11 Aug 1860. We are assuming Lydia Jane was born at Honey Creek MM but somehow was not recorded there.

Her death is recorded at West Branch MM as 14 Jul 1866 which brings up a mystery concerning Caleb Coate. He is shown returning to Union from Honey Creek on a separate certificate on 12 Dec 1860. In the family record for him in Hinshaw, Vol. 5, Pg 800 he is listed with a secord marriage to a Catherine ------ with children by this marriage Lydia Jane b. 13 Jan 1860; Florence b. Ditto; and Eveline b. 21 Mar 1862. Since his wife Lydia did not die until 1866 and is shown returning with daughter Lydia above we believe these children were by the first marriage."

Caleb married Lydia PEMBERTON on Nov 25, 1840 in Union Twp., Miami, OH, USA.¹ (Lydia PEMBERTON was born on Sep 20, 1823 in Union Twp., Miami, OH, USA and died on Jul 14, 1866 in , Miami, OH, USA.)

Caleb next married Catherine UNKNOWN about 1860.
