The Annals and Parish Register of St. Thomas and St. Denis Parish, in South Carolina, from 1680 to 1884. Introductory Notes. Lieut.-Col. Coates, in command of 500 infantry and 100 cavalry, was attacked by Lieut.-Col. Lee with the Legion, and Lieut.-Col. Hampton with the State cavalry. Generals Marion and Sumter, coming up with reinforcements, continued the engagement. The Americans killed and wounded 40 of the British and took 140 prisoners, and a large quantity of baggage, several wagons and above 100 horses. Those who fell were buried by the roadside, from Quimby Avenue to Quimby Bridge. The Wando was the scene of many skirmishes. The British at one time fortified Cainhoy, and the Americans searched vessels passing up and down the river. ________________________________________________ Description: Located along the Wando River in Berkeley County, South Carolina, the Parish of St. Thomas was founded in 1706 as a "French" parish. This database, originally published in 1884, is a collection of records from the parish and neighboring St. Denis Parish. It provides a brief history of each of the two parishes and a register of births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths. It also includes a list of parish ministers, and provides burial records for many parishioners. The records span from 1680 to 1884, and include the names of over 3,000 individuals. For researchers of early South Carolina ancestors, this database can provide detailed and helpful information.

Bosserman The Greenville Creek Cemetery is located along the west side of the Buckneck Road about one mile south of State Route 36. It is approximately three miles west of Covington and two miles southeast of Bradford. Beside this cemetery is the Greenville Creek United Church of Christ. It can also be described as being in the southeast quarter of Section 27, Town 9, Range 4. The first burial in this place, according to the inscriptions on the grave-stones, was Lydia Hoover who died 14 April 1843, and the second was Nathan Coppock, who died 18 June 1843. The Greenville Creek Church was organized 9 Aug. 1843 by Elder Caleb Worley and the first meeting house was built in 1844. It stood about 40 rods due north of the present (1982) church. The old structure was replaced by the present structure about 1882. At first all burials were in "the old section" of this cemetery until 1881 when John W. Dowler platted out the "new cemetery". In 1938, Thomas C. Freshour made a "map record" of all of the graves that could be identified as such and in most cases showed the name of the person in each grave along with the year of death and sometimes the year of birth. This map is now in the care of the Newberry Township Trustees and was referred to by myself (jhb) when compiling the following list of burials. All the following data is from gravestones except when an asterick (*) is shown which indicates Township Records were used. The stones were copied June & July 1982.

COATE, Arlistis; CDv by W.J. Millet, Washington CH, Ohio; found Lewisburg, Ohio 27 Jul 1998 <A HREF="http://users.erinet.com/31363/photos.htm">Family Photos</A>

People, I'm getting better and better reason to believe that John Coate (of Newtown, PA) and Elizabeth Humphries had a daughter named Anne, b 1673. Here's my reasoning. Feedback would be appreciated. Professor Dornan theorized that Ann's niece through brother James named Ann was married to Roger Fort. Thanks to info from Bobbie Earle, I theorize that John and Elizabeth had a daughter Ann who was married to Roger Fort instead. Bobbie has quite a bit of data on Ann and Roger and their dates fit perfectly if Ann is the daughter of this John and Elizabeth. Here are the facts that support my theory that Ann Coate is the daughter of John and Elizabeth Coate. 1) Her supposed birthyear, 1673, fits into this family correctly and would not have been recorded because the Quakers stopped keeping records in that period in the Kingsbury Episcopi meeting. 2) Both she and her husband were from the same Parish of Curry Rivel, co. Somerset, ENG. 3) Their first child's name was John (after her father) 4) Her 4th child's name was Marmaduke and her 5th child's name was Edith after his wife. If she was the youngest daughter of John and Elizabeth, b. about 1673, she would have been about 14/15 when her mother went to live with sister-in-law, Edith Coate who was widowed in 1687. She would have lived in her uncle Marmaduke's home possibly looking at Edith as a second mother from that time on. That is a logical reason why two of her children were named after this favorite Aunt and Uncle. 5) An unknown source at this point in time, listed Ann as one of the children of John and Elizabeth Coate. 6) Ann Coate and her husband Roger Fort raised their family in Burlington Co., NJ where related Coate cousins lived. 7) The other Ann Coate b. in 1669 to Marmaduke and Ann Coate was verified as married to William Masters. 8) John had a son James who named a daughter Ann (after his sister?) 9) Jame's daughter Ann, just mentioned, was born after 1691. If she was the wife of Roger Fort, b. 1669, she would have been a full generation younger than her husband. Even Professor Dornan who had obviously come across a couple named Ann Coate and Roger Fort put a question by whether this Ann Coate could be the wife of Roger Fort. There are two other possibilities that need ruled out to positively feel that the above theory is correct. 1) Mentioned above -- could the Ann Coate married to the William Masters have married a 2nd time to Roger Fort. In that case there should be some mention of her married named Masters also in the records connected with Roger Fort. 2) Could Henry not be the Henry Coate that shows up constantly in the Quaker records in England from 1702 to 1723. If he is not that Henry and he died before 1805, then his wife, Ann Cary could be the Ann who married Roger Fort. In this case, the marriage record between Roger and Ann would state she was Ann Coate, widow. Obviously, I prefer the first theory above.

I also found some interesting Quaker Records for NJ... Burlington Monthly Meeting - Certificates of Removal (Received and Issued) A-C 1711-1878 Says these are from the Department of Friends' Records, 302 Arch Street, Phila, PA...anyone know if that is another depository for these records or a college? This looks like a certificate of removal from Burlington to Philadelphia, PA dated 1715...it is for Marmduks Coate and his wife and it says something about they have never received our certificate by which we ? them too you... Then it goes on from looks like County of Summerset? 1715 to our friends and brenthern in Philadkpehia PA...Dear Friends and ....after ? sallute ? of our love to you in ? those are too certifi? on ye behalf of our ? ? Marmaduke Coate and his wife that while they lived amongst us we had good a man with them and they were very desireable in their plaireis and as ? ? amongst us was ? them to you... A Henry Coate has also signed this and a John Poole, jr. Then there is another: From our Monthly meeting held at Philad. to the MM of Friends at Burlington in West New Jersey...looks like 1720...Whereas motion was made to us at our last monthly meeting on behalf of Mary Coats a young woman ? removed from hence (some time since) to live with some of her relations amonst you and desired a certificate from us to you... There are some really dark signatures with this one but it looks like another Mary Cote or Coate may have signed this as well...the ink in the signatures has smeared into the paper though...

For persons who are descended from John and Elizabeth (Humphries) Coate - we have now proven that two of their children, Samuel and James came to the American colonies and raised families. I've just been corresponding with a third line that's likely descended from them in the colonies. They had 5 children from 1665 to 1672 in the Quaker records of Kingsbury Episcopi Meeting in Somerset, England. In some source along the way, I had picked up that they also had a daughter Ann. Quaker records weren't kept for that meeting except from 1665 to 1673. There is a Coate descendant who is descended from a Roger Fort (1669-1749) and Ann Coate (1673-1762) of NJ. who he has not been able to place --- but would match perfectly with being the Ann, supposed daughter of John and Elizabeth Humphries. Adding to this support is the fact that John's son James names his 2nd daughter Ann (after his sister?). Does anyone have any additional sources that list John a>x�lizabeth (Humphries) Coate as having a daughter named Ann?

Yes, he's the son of Little John who married Elizabeth Webb. One of their sons name by the way was Henley W. Coate, obviously named after Elizabeth's father Hendley.

This is just some comments on this will...things I found a bit strange.... Not strange...he names his wife Hannah and grandson George Wilson and referes to James Coate as his son in law...also referes to James as his son and Elizabeth as his daughter... Strange...he gies land to James Coate *in trust for his son John*...now he doesn't refer to John as a grandson and referes to him as John's son...he also gives *son and daughter James and Elizabeth Coates' female children my negro girle* ...again he doesn't refer to them as his grandchildren....then he goes on to say that *only the child Hannah* to have her first born* I'm assuming he's refering to the negro girle Jenney's first born and Hannah is James and Elizabeth's daughter... Just thought that odd...might this be a second marriage for James?

Also of interest on these Chester County PA Quakers...apparently Robert McKay got 100,000 acres of land in VA, Shenandoah Valley, if he could get 100 families to settle there...that was Quaker Families since Robert was Quaker as well... McKay/McKoy/MacKay/McCoy/McCay/M'Kay just a few of the variations for this family...<g>... At any rate in the early 1700s, Robert McKay took about 50 families with him to VA...(free land amazing)and by the time of the land dispute below apparently had gotten 100 families to move there... There was a big land dispute over this land I don't have the records yet, so don't know if it names any other families or not... The McKay family also married into the Newbold, Ridgeway families and the Hog family is found there as well... Just some interesting info...
