Charles Coats wife Thankful - 1744 - Deerfield, Franklin County MA
This is a very early record of this Charles Coats in Deerfield MA in 1744, so he and his wife Thankful do not show up on the census records, however, the Vital Records for Deerfield support this family as follows:
Children of Charles and Thankful Coats:
1. Miriam, daughter of Charles and Thankful, born Feb. 14, 1748-9
2. Charles, son of Charles and Thankful, born Apr. 20, 1751
3. Easter, daughter of Charles and Thankfull, born Mar. 26, 1753
4. Simeon, son of Charles and Thankfull, baptized Feb. 11, 1759
Another record of this family in "Missing Links - Genealogical Clues Vol-Iss 57 April 1967, p. 1127" states that son Charles born 1751 married a Patience Cunnabel with no dates or other information about her listed. This information also gives Charles and Thankful two other sons and a daughter as follows: Elizabeth no other information about her listed and sons, John and Reuben Coats with no places or dates listed other than they both along with Simeon were in the American Revolution.
Also on this same page is a family grouping for a Thomas Green of Salem MA in 1684 who married a Martha Moulton daughter of Robert, Thomas and Martha were married in 1710 and he married a second wife Elizabeth Green of Stafford no dates or other information on her or their marriage. Thomas Green's son Benjamin Green married Elizabeth Coats in 1744 no other detail on either Benjamin or Elizabeth given.
Another Charles Coats shows up in the Westfield, Hampden County MA marriage records as follows:
COATS, Charles of W. and Esther Neal of W; m. Feb. 6, 1705/6
And in another record of Westfield births:
COATS, Charles, s. Charles & Hester, b. June 3, 1710
Church of Christ baptism records show the following in Westfield MA:
1709 COATS Elizabeth d. Charles & Martha 3 mo 29 d
1710 COATS Charles s. Charles & Esther 4 mo 4 d
1711 COATS Edward s. Charles & Esther 11 mo 6 d
1713 COATS Stephen s. Charles & Esther 11 mo 10 d
1715 COATS Abigail d. Charles & Esther 11 mo 29 d
1719 COATS Margaret d. Charles & Esther 10 mo 23 d
Where or not Martha and Esther are the same person is unknown at this point, but it is possible that Hester was shortened to Esther and it appears in both birth records for son Charles the year is 1710.
Westfield Vital records also show that Hester, wife of Charles, d. Jan. 22, 1727/8; these records also show the birth of Margarest, daughter of Charles & Elizabeth, b. Jan. 1, 1719, seems unlikely this would be the son of Charles and Hester born in 1710.
