COATE, John ^{1 2 3 4 5 6}

  General Notes:

His birth date and the dates of all of his children's births are noted in the Center Monthly Meeting records in Hinshaw which was located in Clinton Co., Ohio.

This could be the John Coat who was disowned by the Quaker Church on 4/26/1800 in the Bush River Monthly Meeting for an unknown reason. (C-100) However, by Aug. 25, 1804, they are listed in Quaker records as removing to Miami MM, OH from Newberry MM. In the 1820 census he lives within 2 farms of his brother William and then James. He has 3 sons and 2 daughters under age 10. He and his wife are between the age of 26 and 45. He is listed as living near his brother James and William in the 1827 Newton Twp., Miami Co., OH tax lists. He is the John Coats living in Newton Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in the 1830 census within 2 doors of his older brother James on page 75. He and his wife Mary sold land to Samuel Teague in Miami Co., on Aug. 27, 1833 and to William Jay on June 28, 1834 in county deed records. He is listed in the Clinton Co. Center Monthly Meeting records on 12/17/1834 when he, his 2nd wife and all their children were received on certificate from Union Monthly Meeting in Miami Co., Ohio dated 11/12/1834. He also is stated as of Greene Co., Ohio when some of his children marry in the 1830s.

Info on his death date comes from Krell's Collection in Philadelphia where the place was listed as Miami Co., Ohio. This place seems unlikely unless we find evidence that he moved back to Miami Co., Ohio. It is entirely possible that he was simply buried there but died in Clinton or Green Co., Ohio instead. He signed his name to his daughters Rebecca's marriage in 1837, but didn't to his son, Hiram's marriage in 1838. He is likely the John Coates who was proposed to be the clerk, or keeper of the Minutes at the New Hope MM in Greene Co., Ohio. He apparently didn't accept this because his signature is never where the clerk's signature is in the minutes. His son, Hiram, however, did take that position. (C-1017, E) ⁷
