Son Edward Coates legacy of £200.
Son James Coates £600 plus Hinton Hall Farm.

RESEARCH NOTES

- Hinton Hall (manor) and Hinton (hamlet) in Suffolk are now part of Blythburgh village and civil parish. Hinton lies to the SE. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blythburgh
Hinton Hall, Hinton, Saxmundham, Suffolk IP17 3RQ, UK

On 6 May 1773 when Henry was 30, he married Ann ABBOTT in Greenwich St Alphage, Kent, England. Born ca 1746. Ann died in Blythburgh, Suffolk, England, in 1833; she was 87. Buried on 5 Jul 1833 in Blythburgh, Suffolk, England.

RESEARCH NOTES
- Surname spelled with both 1 and 2 “t’s”.

- A John Abbott was witness at their wedding. He could be a father, uncle or brother ...

- Survived Henry Coates

- looking in the national burial index, possibles are:
* 5 Jul 1833 Ann COATES 87 Suffolk Blythburgh, Holy Trinity [born ~1746] - so wonder what happened to the gravestone (not in Blythburgh monument inscriptions) - this is the most likely due to location
* 11 Nov 1834 Ann COATS 70 Suffolk Bury St Edmunds, St Mary [born ~1764]
* 30 Dec 1835 Ann COATES 79 Suffolk Stonham Aspal, St Mary & St Lambert [born ~1759]

Ann was living in the parish of St Alfege Greenwich Kent at the time of her marriage there. But was she born there?
