Isaac Coates (1840–1932) was mayor of Hamilton, New Zealand, from 1888 to 1892, a farmer,[1] flax-miller,[2] and a drainage[3] and railway contractor.[4]
He was born on 7 April 1840,[5] to Samuel Coates.[6] a tenant farmer at Gayles, near Richmond,[7] who died in 1863.[8] His younger brother took on their farm, when Isaac chose to emigrate to New Zealand in 1867.[5] His sister and brother-in-law, Thomas Dinsdale, after whom Dinsdale is named, came to work for Isaac[9] in 1869,[10] working on flax cutting at one stage.[11]
Isaac Coates was a relatively common name. Thus a 1942 Waikato Times obituary for Jane Meadway asserted that she was a daughter of Isaac Coates, "one of the best-known of the early settlers in the Waikato", though she was born at Akaroa in 1862, five years before the future mayor emigrated.[12] Possibly she was related to Isaac Coates, an artist, who was living in Nelson in the 1840s.[13] Another Isaac Coates was a US Army Surgeon in the 1860s.[14]
