COATE, Samuel ^{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16}

  General Notes:

Samuel was born on the 8m 28d 1722 according to Hinshaw.

Samuel purchased 192 acres of land in the 96th District, SC adjoining NE William Miles and Samuel Crompton, SE on John Coats, SW on Jacob Chandler and Samuel Miles and NW on Jonathan Taylors land. The record is located in Greenville Co., SC records just like his father's as that territory is now part of Greenville Co. At the time it was described as being on the Saluda River in Newberry County. The date of the deed is Mar. 24, 1799.

Samuel is highly likely to be the Samuel Coats in the 1800 Newberry Census records that list he and his wife between the ages of 16 and 26 with no children. If so, he gave his age as slightly younger than he was. (C-931)

There is a deed for a Samuel and Mary who sold land on Jan. 17, 1804 to Samuel Miles, Sam. Brown, and Isaac Kirk for use by the Quaker MM. I believe this applies to my Samuel Coate, son of Marmaduke for the following reasons. (C-2115) 1) The land was sold on Jan. 17, 1804 and my Samuel moved his family to Ohio on certificate dated Feb. 25, 1804. 2) Samuel Miles who purchased the land was the father-in-law of one of my Samuel's daughters, indicating that my Samuel and Samuel Miles, not only knew each other well, they probably lived fairly closely together for their children to marry. 3) My Samuel Coate was the only known Quaker of the 3 Samuel's in the area. 4) A nickname for Margaret is Mary.

Samuel was appointed as one of the overseer's for Union Monthly Meeting when it was set off from the West Branch Monthly Meeting on the 1 month, 2 day, 1813.

Samuel and his brother Moses then moved to Miami Co., Ohio at the same time. Samuel bought 161.24 acres in Range 5, Township 6, Section 5, Northwest Quarter (Union Township) on Sept. 25, 1804. (C-24, 253k) He paid $1.66 in taxes in 1810 on this property (C-61b). He is living in the 1827 and 1835 tax lists for Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio. In the 1830 Census for Union Twp., Miami Co., Ohio, he appears to have a daughter whose name I do not know between the age of 5 and 10. He like is living with his son, William's family, in the 1850 census at age 78 along with an insane 47 year old Joseph C. Coate. (C-64)

Samuel died at age 96 years, 4 months and 28 days according to his death record filed in Miami County by William Jay. ^{6 18 19}
