This is likely Gentleman John Coats. The date they give his death is actually almost the date of the probate of his will. He died a month earlier according to other records. Does anyone else have a better match.

Linda; I tend to agree w/you on this. However, weren't there 1 or2 other John Coatses who died or had wills probated in 1803? You may remmember, Gentleman John was recognized as a Revolutionary Patriot for providing supplies and shoeing horses.However, he was delisted in 1998-99 because no one could prove which John was which. He probably would have been a blacksmith, but weren't all the Johns blacksmiths? Now, if this was Gentleman John, then all the 7 people linked by DNA to Marmaduke on the website would be related to him, because the John Coates I had tested, proved back to him, and you all match. Not all would be descendents of him tho, some may be descendents of cousins or brothers. Yours in research, John Coats Linda J. Coate wrote: > This is likely Gentleman John Coats.
