COATES

There is a wonderful book at the Friends Archive by Joseph Green which is all about the COATES family and their descendents to families including the DIXONs etc. I The book looked like a carbon copy, implying there were perhaps only two or three in the world, so I transcribed it so that it is searchable by name, and now have a creative commons licence on that from the Friends Library/Archive, where it should now be online and available.

As there are nine daughters and no son for Michael COATES and Margaret WELFOOT, I have shown three more generations after them so it is clear how they descend into the PEASE family. Thus there are eight generations so far on this page.
