About Caleb Coates

Caleb Coates was the son of Moses Coates and second wife Mary Vickers. He was born in 1790. He married Elizabeth Gilbert in 1810 at Fallowfield MM. They had nine children.

[NOTE: source text says son of Samuel, grandson of Samuel, but the grandfather did not have a son named Samuel. Using the author’s numbering system, I can tell that this was a child of a second marriage. The grandfather did have a son Moses who married twice and had a son named Caleb.]
