The last family we will look at in our exploration of the coates family in America is the Charles Coates family. This is the branch I am most familiar with as my husband is a descendant of Charles Coats. Charles was born in Wenham Mass. on 11/29/1686 to Mr. Charles Coatt formerly of England . Charles mother is not mentioned in his birth record.
Charles was born 10 years after the massacre that was known at King Phillip's war. Much of the damage had been repaired to effected towns, new towns had sprung up and Europeans flooded the growing colonies. By 1700 it is estimated that Massachusetts boasted a population of around 56,000 settlers.
In or around 1700 Charles moved to west field Mass.where he married Hester Neal in 1705. Hester was born 11/8/1680 in West field. She was the daughter of Edward Neal Sr. and Martha Hart.
