"Ancestrees"

Thomas COATS ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

United Ancestrees in CD-100 follows the old Coates Genealogy but trys to improve on it's date errors. According to this unsourced genealogy, Marmaduke and Edith Satterthwait had: Archibald, Thomas, Henry, Sampson, Mary Jane, Ann and James (twins), John, Samuel, Sarah Jane, Hannah, Marmaduke, William Peter and Edith (C-336) Son Marmaduke married Ann Pole. Son Thomas, b. 1641 moved to Ireland to avoid persecution. Thomas's son Moses, b. 1687, married Susannah Weldon, and moved to Pennsylvania founding Coatesville, Pennsylvania (C-541) Thomas's son's James, b. 1679 and Moses, b. 1687 were threadmakers. This was a good 150 years before the James Coates of Paisley, Scotland started the Coats thread company. It should be noted that the "Old Coates Genealogy" has no primary sources backing up it's first 7 generations which goes back to the 1300s. When sources are available, the children's birth dates, marriages, and some of the familial descents are completely inaccurate. It should be noted that it is entirely possible that this lineage is correct though about Marmaduke and Edith Stterhwait's son Thomas being the father of Moses. I state this because Thomas used the same basic Coat of Arms as this Coate line. What seems amiss here, is that Thomas would not have been born in 1641 if he was the son of Marmaduke and Edith Satterwait Coate. Marmaduke himself was born in 1634 and his first known son was born in 1652.

Thomas married Sarah Ann WILKINS.
