  General Notes:

There is a Jacob Coots in the minutes of July 15, 1767 Rowan County Court of
Q&PS. He is listed as a constable for John McKnight. John McKnight lived in the part of Rowan County in 1768 that became Iredell Co., North Carolina. It's likely that Jacob (Coots) (Coates) is also from the Iredell Co., NC region. It's only a guess that he might be this Jacob Coates who is the son of John Coate and Esther Doughty. Their son's whereabouts after his birth is unknown.
