I have added the documents for PA and most of the docs for NJ now....will be working on the anaylsis pages next... But interesting is the Samuel Coats of Philly who died in 1748: http://www.coatsarchive.us/pennsylvdocs.html Linda, is he the one you have listed as married to Mary Langsdale...it would appear that his will names his daughter Margaret's grandparents as Margaret and Samuel Preston... Also interesting is the finding of a James Coats who died in Philly in 1705, who was suppose to have a brother named Samuel Coats, and there doesn't appear to be any estate records for a Samuel Coats of that time period??
