COATE, David Marmaduke ^{1 2 3 4 5 6 7}

  General Notes:

David and his wife were Quakers as were his parents. His property was worth $4000.00 in 1850. He was a farmer and merchant by trade. (C-63, 1001) There is a David M. Coate who was in the deed records in 1856 in Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio. His death date is listed as Jan. 26, 1852 in Union, Miami Co., OH in Hinshaw, but it doesn't fit with the above info and also contradicts the following data from "The Genealogical and Biographical Record of Miami Co., Ohio, Part II, 1900." It states that he cultivated land he purchased in 1843 in Miami Co. until 1865. At that point in time he moved to Kokomo, IN but returned to Miami Co. after an unstated interval where he was a store owner until 1872. It did not list his death date. It is entirely possible that he is one of the David Coates who was in the 1850 and 1880 census records for Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio. That remains to be checked. From my point of view, there are likely 2 David M.'s who are being confused here.

If he was a Co-Commissioner of Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio, then he and his wife's photo are in the Illustrated Historical Atlas of Miami Co. Ohio, 1875. (C-95, 1025, 1927, 2113E)

David married Mary TEAGUE, daughter of Moses TEAGUE and Jane COPPOCK, on Sep 20, 1843 in , Miami, OH, USA. (Mary TEAGUE was born on Jun 20, 1825 in , Miami, OH, USA,⁵ died on Oct 2, 1894 in W. Branch M.M., Miami, OH, USA ⁸ and was buried in Riverside Cem., West Milton, Miami, OH ⁸.)
