Yes, you have the will of Samuel Coates (1711-1748; PA Will Book I, p. 14; http://www.coatsarchive.us/pennsylvdocs.html). He was the son of Thomas Coates and Beulah Jacques, and the son-in-law of Josiah Langdale and Margaret Burton. Before leaving for America in 1723 to seek religious liberty, Josiah sensed that he might die and he had a coffin built. As Mary Coates wrote in Aunt Mary's Patchwork, he became ill and "died very happily when about three days out, singing a 'melodious song' unto the Lord just before his death. He was committed to the deep, but his coffin floated back to England, near to his old home, where his remains were recognized and he was buried from his own meeting-house." He lived in Bridlington in Yorkshire and was about 50 years old. His widow wrote, "This testimony I have to give of him, that he was an affectionate, loving husband, a tender father, a kind master, a good neighbor, a faithful friend; full of compassion, ready to forgive injuries and to reach a helping hand to the afflicted; and he himself was given up and devoted to what he believed to be his indispensable duty." (p. 25) A good example for us to follow. Margaret Burton Langdale later became the second wife of Samuel Preston. Os Cresson
