I have researched the Coates family in PA and although this is not my group the point that you made about Samuel's will was intriguing so I took a few minutes to look into it.... on Ancestry.com.... in Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy Vol. 2 1724, 5, 9 Langdale, Margaret, wd. Phila., PA., m. Samuel Preston, Phila., PA., MH 1734, 4, 13. Langdale, Mary, Phila., Pa., m. Samuel Coates, Phila., Pa., at Phila. Mtg. Coates, Samuel (s Thomas & Beulah, b. 6-7-1711) m. Mary Langdale (dt. Josiah & Margaret, b. 3-26-1713) can't guarantee accuracy of these will abstracts - Samuel Preston. City of Philadelphia. September 5, 1743. September 22, 1743. G.68. Brother: Thomas Berry. Children: Carpenter, Margaret Moore. Grandchildren: Mordecai Moore, Preston Carpenter, Margaret Moore. Son-in-law: Samuel Preston Moore. John Langdale. Sisters-in-law: Mary and Margaret Coates, Ruth Webb, widow of Richard Rhoades. Samuel Pemberton and William Orr. Exec: Saml. Preston Moore and Preston Carpenter. Trustees: Israel Pemberton, John Kinsey and Cadwalader Fooks. Langdale, Josiah. Late of Bridlington Key, Yorkshire. 2/14/1723. Joseph Bond, Hannah Carpenter relict of Samuel Carpenter, deceased, mentioned. Will signed on board the ship London Hope laying at anchor in the Downes near Deale in Great Britain, where he died. Proved at Philadelphia. Executrix: Wife Margaret, daughter of William and Isabel Burton, yeoman, late of Yorkshire, deceased. John Annis, Sr. Commander of the Ship London Hope. So it would appear that Mary Langdale w/o Samuel Coates is the daughter of Josiah & Margaret (nee Burton) Langdale. Josiah Langdale died in 1723 and in 1724 his widow Margaret remarried to Samuel Preston.
