 General Notes:
This Thomas is possibly the son of John Coate as placed here and if not son, is still highly likely to be related to him. He was born about 10 years before John married Esther Doughty, but the connection between them is suggested on Jan. 10, 1743 when John and Esther Coate deeded 20 acres to Thomas Coate, Weaver of the tract he previously purchased from John's father-in-law. He sold this land ten years later to Nathaniel Leforge close to the time when he married and purchased land in Amwell Twp., Hunterdon Co, NJ from Joseph King (his possible father-in-law). (Park)
The other good theory as to his parentage is that he is the son of the Thomas Coate, weaver, of Salem Co, N.J. who died in 1733. (Park)
Thomas was alive in 1778 and 1780 when he witnessed his daughter, Hannah and Amey's marriages. He was dead by Apr. 10, 1788 when his wife is listed as a widow in a certificate of transfer to the Buckingham M.M. in Bucks Co., Pennsylvania 3 4
Thomas married Elizabeth KING, daughter of John KING and Elizabeth WOODWARD, on 2/8/1753 in Kingwood M.M., Hunterdon, NJ.1 (Elizabeth KING was born 12d 4m 1729 in , , NJ, USA 3 and died after 1789 in , Bucks, PA, USA.)
