William was a son of Samuel Coate and Mary Saunders. [1]
SON WILLIAM : No information has been found that can be identified as referring to William COATE, probably third oldest son of Samuel and Mary, except the bequest in his father's will by which he was left 100 acres of land next to the York Road (M 21). The absence of any other reference to him may indicate that he may have left N. J. after the death of his father and it may be that he immigrated to South Carolina and was the William COATE who, prior to 1762, was living between Springfield and Bush River in Newberry County (El 3, 13).
1729 William Coate, of Amwell, Hunterdon County, sold land to William Cornwell on February 20, 1728/29. William Coate had inherited the land from his father, Samuel Coate, deceased. Samuel Coate, of Springfield, Burlington County, had purchased the land from Robert Eaton on April 16, 1722. Samuel Coate bequeathed, in his last will and testament, the land to his three sons John, Henry, and William Coate; that is to say two hundred to John Coate, two hundred to Henery Coate and the remainder to William Coate.

Research Notes:
Uncertainty:
It is difficult to distinguish between William Coate, son of Samuel Coate and Mary Saunders, from William Coate [16], son of Marmaduke Coate and Ann Pole. We not certain about which was the spouse of Rebecca Sharp and which was the spouse of Rachel Budd. We show William Coate son of Samuel as the William Coate of South Carolina because William's brother Henry got a certificate of transfer to South Carolina. Further, William son of Samuel was of Huntington County and no longer appeared in records there after William appeared in South Carolina. In contrast, William Coate and his father Marmaduke were of Burlington County. William Coate and Rebecca Sharp were married in Burlington County. A William Coate remained in Burlington County.
