  • Notes 
    • Marmaduke, apparently previous to his marriage, witnessed the marriage of Jacob Garwood, son of John Garwood, to Elloner Oustlon, late servant maid to Marmaduke Coate, in 1732 along with his brother William. It should be noted that this 1732 date nullifies the possibility that the Marmaduke is the husband of Ann Pole as he died in 1729. (C-2280)

      This Marmaduke had two children, John and Mary (C-1p.60,543f) He was the administrator for Samuel Coate's estate when he died in 1735 and is in the records from Jan. 31, 1735 through Feb. 7, 1738 as administrator. This Samuel is his likely brother, although another unaccounted for Samuel of Hunterdon Co., NJ is an administrator for their sister-in-law's Esther's will in 1742. Marmaduke is listed as Yeoman of Bethlehem Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ in his 1738 accounting. (C-1)

      His main residence in 1734 was in the bounds of the Chesterfield MM. His will listed him of Mansfield, Burlington, Co., (NJ) and also listed his Kingwood, Bethlehem Twp. Hunterdon Co. land as property up the mountains. (C-1p.60, 1076) He died before his second child was born. (C-1078)

      His will and estate inventory follows as provided on Charlotte Coats Sierck's "Coates Family Archives Site".
