Index created for surname found in ~Pennsylvania Gazette 1728-1800~ the numbers following the given names are the dates that they appear in the newspaper. The newspaper listings are not biographical pieces but business or government type announcements - such as... estates, runaways, military, advertisements, political (policies & elections), letters at P.O., etc. - all of which gives an idea of "when" - "who was in the area. Note - this is not a complete listing of Coates family entries in the paper - simply what I considered the most useful. ------------------------------ COATES/COATS/COATE/COTES Abraham - 3/25/1762; 8/19/1762; 8/18/1763; 8/2/1764; 3/21/1765; 6/27/1765; 4/10/1766; 2/23/1769 Admiral - 9/3/1747 Aaron - 10/22/1767*; 3/3/1768; 2/23/1769; 9/28/1769; 3/24/1773; 4/13/1774 Ann - 7/18/1787 Barzillai - 4/9/1777 Benjamin - 6/3/1762; 11/3/1763; 12/24/1767; 7/5/1770*; 6/20/1771*; 1/9/1772; 1/5/1774 Capt.
