Hi Cynthia, I found the Brumfield connection. Ann Coleman b abt 1754,
daughter to James Coleman and Elizabeth Leake married a John Brumfield
(married abt May 16, 1773 according to the file on the site you gave me).
My Brumfield line is as follows:
James Brumfield b est 1632-1677.
Son of James is another James Brumfield b 1647 married to Patience "Peshee
Sutton" who was born in England.
Children to James and Peshee:
1. Robert b Gloucester Co. VA 1676-1677
2. Martha b Sept. 17 or 27, 1680
3. James b Aug 29, 1685
4. Ann b June 12, 1687
5. William b July 21, 1689
6. Isabel b Dec. 20, 1682.
I descend from #3, James Brumfield b Aug 29. 1685. He married Elizabeth
Francis Watson in March of 1716. Their children were:
1. Robert b 1724 in VA died in Mercer CO, KY in 1794 married Susannah
2. William b 1718 in King William Co, VA married abt 1744 in Amelia
Co. VA to Mary ( )
3. John b 1701-1743 (this is the one I think married Ann COleman.
4. James b 1730, Fincastle VA died in Giles Co. VA married Mary
"Polly" ?
5. Major Brumfield b 1730 married Ann Cobbs in 1755, is on the
Halifax Co. VA census in 1782 (this is my second connection) through his son,
Humphrey.
>From Humphrey it goes like this:
children:
1. Martha BrOmfield b 1834 TN
2. William Bromfield (note the change in name spelling) b 1836 married
in 1857 to Eliza Emeline Mooneyham. This Eliza Emeline was the mother of
Sarah Brumfield who married WPK Cameron. WPK was my grandfather's uncle who
raised him in Lehigh, OK.
3. Jane Bromfield b 1838 TN
4. James Bromfield b 1840 TN first married Louisa ? who is age 19, born
1841, died on 2/6/`874 in Callaway Co. Missouri. He then married Lois Amelia
Coleman (my gg-grandmother). They have about 4-5 kids who were Brumfields and
then he died in Missouri. She remarried John Simple Jackson and moved to
Allen, Indian Terr. Oklahoma, where they proceeded to have more Jackson
children (one being Hattie Bell Jackson, my grandmother, who married first a
Lewis and second to George John Cameron, the nephew of WPK Cameron above, who
was married to Sarah, daughter of Emeline Brumfield. Confused enough yet?
Wanta to share my Tylenol? ha.
Now, to find out how the second Coleman fits into the Brumfield picture. God,
give me strength. ha. Later. Sunny

hahaha No but how does CCCr, Cynthia Culpeper Claytonroberts sound?
I could take this show on the road.
There is a Lord Culpeper way back there somewhere however. I doubt we are kin.
The family names you mentioned are not familiar, I am afraid.
My COLEMAN line ends in Culpeper Virginia by 1756
with Philip marrying Ann Coleman I @1735
& their son Col.Sam marrying Ann Coleman II;
*their* son Sam'l CLAYTON, Jun'r marries a PRICE and runs off to Bourbon
County, Kentucky, where my line continues from there, thru Illinois and
ends in Wisconsin.
The only further COLEMAN hunting I would have - would be Ancestors exactly
100 years earlier not later Coleman descendants. But you should be able to
find your Lois Amelia by name in any Census or Census Index after her birth
unless the family was in transit right at the time the Census was being
taken. Try USGenweb by State and then County
for appropriate Census' online.
When I first began this search in 1994, I figured CLAYTON to be a real
simple common name like SMITH. It was not, in the early days of Virginia
however. COLEMAN on the other hand seems to have a lot more unrelated
family lines, in many states in the early days.
Who knows though we may have GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGs in common. I will be staying
on the COLEMAN LIST should any of those oldies pop up.
love from Cynthia

I am searching for a slave family that I believe was purchased or

surname of the slave family is Fields. Some of the given names are
Polly, Martha, Wesley, Napoleon, Ezekiel, John Shaw. Any help you can
give would be greatly appreciated. I have been searching for the VA
origins of this family for many, many years but I am stumpped because I
don't know the county they came from. They moved to MS in the
mid-1800's and settled near Tupelo in a area called Shannon/ Pine Grove.
I know Polly was born in VA about 1790.

Hello,
I'm new at this so bear with me. I am looking for any information on the
family of my paternal grandmother, Bessie Louise Coleman and her mother Mary
Coleman. Her father (name unknown)supposedly was a preacher and the family
resided in Eufallah, Alabama. Some cousins may be in Georgia. Family
history says that her father's church burned down. Any help would be
appreciated.
Hello all,
I have been trying to send this message, but it does not go through. I hope
it works this time. Please bare with me.
Below is the Coleman line that I am searching. It is connected with the
BLAKE, and JENKINS lines of Gloucester-Mobjack, Va. The JOHN COLEMAN listed
below is where I am having problems, because I am trying to find his wife's
name where he lived as an adult, and the names of his children. One of his
daughters ELIZA REBECCA COLEMAN is another mistory. Any help would be
great!!!
My information comes from research, word of mouth, BUT mostly from "The
Coleman Family Of Mobjack Bay, Va." written by SHERRIANNE COLEMAN NICOL
also a great research tool is from WES COLEMAN'S GENEALOGY PAGE

We can not find Rebecca Jane Blake or the marriage to BFJ anywhere.
We can not find where or if Thomas B Blake m. Eliza Rebecca Coleman. This
is
a real tough one.
Any help would be so great!!

I have gained some new information on my COLEMAN family roots.
Middlesex, England:
Thomas Edward Coleman (1857 - 1905) m. Mary Ann Farrell (she had a brother,
John)
Children of Thomas & Mary Coleman:
-Thomas (born?)
-Mary (born?)
-James Edward (b. Dec. 26, 1883 - d. Nov. 25, 1963)
-Maud (born?)
-John Wilford (b. Jan. 31, 1893 - d. March 10, 1991); immigrated to Canada
abt. 1902 on a Polish freighter named Tanishia??
-Ann (born?)
-Charlie (stepbrother)(born?)
The story with these siblings is that they were all born in England and
their mother, Mary died very young so Thomas remarried and the second wife
did not want to take care of these children so they were shipped off to
orphanages, I believe to the McPherson Home in London, England where they
were, in turn, shipped off across the ocean to Canada. They were placed in
the orphanage located in Atwood, near Stratford, Ontario called the Marry
Organization. I don't know if all the children went together at one time or
if they were broken up and sent at different times. As you can see by the
dates that John Wilford Coleman was only about 9 years old when he was
shipped off. I do have more info in continuing this family line but what I
am interested in getting across is this info to see if anyone had ancestors
in the same boat (no pun intended). I am currently waiting on more detailed
info from a cousin that told me this story but in the meantime felt the need
to contribute.

Stan, be careful though. I have 800 things going on at the moment and the
COLEMAN lineage has not been my top priority. Please use whatever you find
useful, like a map.
Some of the information I have is directly taken from copies of Wills,
court house records, printed biographies. I did not double check where in
the world the COLEMAN information was compiled from in my tree program and
my printer is ailing so crosschecking data & resources, is major project at
the moment.
Have no clue the proper order of COLEMAN children, or infact if they all
are certified COLEMANs or that there aren't more. I believe my Ann, I
listed as #10 child might even be older than your Robert. Anything we pick
up from the net which isn't directly transcribed from Census material,
Wills and Court records, etc. needs be suspect. All the LDS input from
families around the world falls into that category as well.
It requires verification, at best it contains real clues.
I just was sooooooo excited to find you searching parallel lines,
that I sent off what I could gleen in a moment's time from the assortment
of barely identifiable files jammed into this computer in the COLEMAN
folder...
So beware of the authenticity. I would do the same with anything even the
stuff
my Beloved Grandmother told me; she never lied <g> but she often called me
by her youngest daughter's, "Maxine", name.... :)
All of our families have legends that were passed down like that business
about Henryetta, Oklahoma, being named for Nettie Clayton Lincoln. To
date, I have found 3 theories recorded in various publications for the
naming of that little town, none of them mention Nettie Clayton nor a
Lincoln. There was however at the time of the founding of Henryetta OK, a
Lincoln in the vicinity serving in the military as an Indian Scout. So I
haven't quite told the family this is definitely a Myth.
Thank you for the information in your Inquiry to the COLEMAN List
and another of the lists I subscribe to that I also caught your addy on.
I was able to pencil in some blanks in my own charts for future study.

Hi {{{{{{{{{{{Stanley}}}}}}}}}}}}},
I am double-descended on the COLEMAN side, which wreaks havoc with my
familytree programs. <sigh>
My GGGGGG Grandmother is Ann Coleman, daughter of Thomas and Mary (LORT?)
Coleman and sister to your ancestor Robert Coleman, whom I believe donated
the 50 acres upon which Culpeper was built. Your Gx? Aunt Ann married my
GGGGGG Grandfather Philip Clayton, an Anglican Vestryman who lugged around
catalpa trees, who, in Green's book & Capt. Philip Slaughter's recollection
is referred to as "Major".
Now that title may very well be, some kind of distinction of the British
Royal SomethingorOther, but tends to confuse him in the history of St.
Mark's Parish with his Grandson Philip who married Mildred ________?(not
the one who married Mildred Dixon - that's yet another unrelated family
that all ended up famous in Georgia and them there parts); The Philip
Clayton who a couple of generations later, was a Major in the little
skirmish with the British. That Philip Clayton was one of the sons of my
GGGGG Grandfather Colonel Samuel & Ann Coleman Clayton, daughter of Robert
and Sarah Ann SAUNDERS Coleman, my GGGGG Grandmother, and niece to Ann
Coleman CLAYTON my GGGGGG Grandmother. Is this perfectly clear? hahaa.
In 1786, Col. Sam & Ann's kid, Sam'l Clayton jun'r who may have been the
Sheriff of Culpeper at one time or his dad was, married Cathryn PRICE, dau.
of William Price of Shenandoah County VA, and hightailed it off to Bourbon
County, Kentucky, where in 1807 they had my GGG Grandfather George Price
Clayton who grew up there and married Rebecca FIELDS, I suspect of the VA
FIELDS family since the original families all knew each other way back when
in Culpeper.
George & Rebecca had my GG Grandfather Samuel Thomas Clayton born 22 June
1825 in Bourbon County, Kentucky, and shortly thereafter took their two
kids Louisa & Sam T.,
and moved to Crawford County, Illinois, where they had 6 more kids before
George died
in 1838. Rebecca married again to William RASH who had become guardian of
the CLAYTON children after George's untimely death, and my GG Grandfather
Sam T. took off real quick. In 1843, on Valentine's Day (the license reads
13 February 1843), he married Elizabeth SIMMONS in Lawrence County,
Illinois, and they went back and forth between Illinois and Wisconsin,
until they ultimately settled in Washington Township, Green County,
Wisconsin, near Monroe.
>From the History of Green County, p.113-7:
Samuel Thomas Clayton was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky, June 22nd,
1825.
When he was but an infant, his parents moved to Illinois and settled in
Crawford County, where they were early settlers. His father [George Price
Clayton] bought timberland, improved a farm, and lived there until the time
of his death. The subject of this sketch there grew to manhood. When he
was fourteen years old, his father died, and two years later his mother was
again married. He then started out for himself and went to Lawrence
County, and there he found employment on a farm. He was there married when
he was eighteen years old, to Elizabeth SIMMONS, who was born in Greene
County, N.C. They located in Crawford County and remained one year, then
lived on a claim in Lawrence County two years, then moved to Richland
County and rented land for two years.
In 1848 they came to this county and spent the first winter at Monroe. He
was there engaged in mining, and in teaming to the pineries, a distance of
200 miles. In the spring of 1849 he moved to Washington [Township] and
engaged in mining two years, then returned to Lawrence county and rented a
farm one year, then came back to the Township of Washington and bought a
claim of forty acres on the Northeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of
Section 34, and subsequently entered the land.
There was a small frame house on the place at the time. He did but little
work on his land but engaged in mining and carpentering two years, then
paid attention to farming, He now owns 140 acres and is engaged in raising
stock and grain. [They had eight children living - Mary E., Sarah C.,
George, Libbie, Henryetta, Samuel T., William,
and Myrtle. Mary E. married Anton BAUMGARTNER, son of Anton and Magdelena
MARTI BAUMGARTNER who emigrated from Engi, Switzerland; Sarah C. married
John WESLEY BAILEY; My Great Grandmother Elizabeth (Libbie) married Jacob
Baumgartner, the youngest son of Anton & Magdelena Marti Baumgartner.
Nettie married a LINCOLN who is said to have named the town of Henryetta,
Oklahoma, after her. Myrtie married a BRAY. By that time, they were all
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.]
On 29 November 1877, Jacob Baumgartner & Libbie Clayton were married. Their
children were Zada, Winifred, William Charles, Edna and Nelle. Zada and
Winnie died young. Wm. Charles married Alma WEISMILLER in Monticello,
Wisconsin and had Gertrude, Hoy and Jay CLAYTON. Edna first married Fred
HARRISON WELLS, son of Joshua and Alice KLECKNER WELLS of Monroe,
Wisconsin/ and married Genn KING after Fred died. My Beloved Grandmother
Nelle Elizabeth Baumgartner married Roy Albert _________ of Monroe in 1919
in Chicago where she was formally studying piano at the Conservatory of
Music there. She died at 1:35 PM Thanksgiving Day 1994 at the Veteran's
Retirement Home in King, Wisconsin, at the age of 95.
Gram had been hoping for years that I would have the time to pick up the
search for her lost family. I didn't realize how important it was to her.
Her Mother and my GreatGrandmother Libby Clayton Baumgartner had died just
8 days after Gram was born. Little Edna had brought home a case of the
measles from school and Libby caught them, she died 10 April 1899. Great
Grampa Jacob Baumgartner married the children's schoolteacher on 10 January
1901. Her name was Mae Pearl SMITH, the daughter of Samuel MUNSON SMITH and
Fanny WOODMANSEE.
Kind of a Cinderella story:
Great Grampa Jacob & Mae Pearl had two daughters, Faith and Maxine, and his
first wife and Gram's family wasn't much talked about ever again. Gram
being the littlest only picked up snatches of chatter from her much older
siblings and her memories were more anecdote than fact.
When Gram died, I received all the family papers. I found a number of
uncancelled checks written in small amounts and returned from various
Historical Societies in Wisconsin and Illinois, mostly deadends based on
half-remembered names who turned out now, to be related but not direct
ancestry. One CLAYTON maiden aunt had begun to help, I have her last
Christmas card to Gram with some of the same rumored information that led
Gram astray but with some actual information copied from the CLAYTON Bible.
Aunt Gertrude CLAYTON promised to type all the bible records out and send
them to Gram as soon as she got her typewriter fixed. She died in Monroe,
Wisconsin, before the typewriter got fixed ...and no one knows yet what
happened to the Clayton Family Bible.
There were enough clues for a start. Gertrude copied ....Colonel Samuel
CLAYTON of Culpeper, VA.... I found there is only one "Colonel" Sam
Clayton of Culpeper, VA listed by that fellow whose name I can never spell
Gwaethney or something, heaven knows what Sam did to earn the designation.
No one from our family has registered with LDS as researching this branch
nor with the Daughters of the American Revolution and Once Upon a Time I
sent some less than bare bones info in to somewhere for his Military or
Pension Records and they couldn't find him amongst the other Samuel
Claytons of different lines in Virginia even tho' I said he was supposed to
have been a colonel.
Great Aunt Gertrude Clayton's Christmas letter did not mention the COLEMANs
in the Bible quotes of her letter. Maybe because she thought she ought to
doublecheck somewhere - our two earliest Grammas both being named "Ann
Coleman" <g>....
It's been a trip since Thanksgiving Day 1994 when I began this journey into
the past. My kids are finally grown, and I am flyin' on a single wing
again with only a cat and myself to worry about feeding. Most of my jobs
like this one allow me long spaces to research but anchor me to the phones
next to my computer and don't allow me much prime time to visit LDS Family
Centers/Courthouses/or libraries. Rootsweb has united me with a number of
related Clayton cousins and one CLAYTON cousin, James, in Snowflake,
Arizona.
I am happy to stumble over a COLEMAN cousin...a double maternal
line.....but regret that I have barely sketched out the Colemans. Because
these families are so intertwined in Culpeper and named their children the
same first names over and over and because there are few dates and so many
errors in the published works, I have had to some extent map out other
neighboring families like the SLAUGHTERS and WILLIAMS and PENDLETONs and
GAINES and CUNNINGHAMs and LIGHTFOOTs and STEVENs who intermarried as well
as pencil in family sheets of any kids of unrelated Claytons like the Major
Philip who married Mildred Dixon and took his family to Georgia while our
Major Philip about the same age, another of Col. Sam's sons, who married a
Mildred WhoKnowsWhatforSure (probably either EDWARDS or BELL as they named
their daughter Sarah Ann EDWARDS Clayton and one of their sons James BELL
Clayton).
This Major Philip and Mildred Clayton remained on the old Clayton farm,
however, in Culpeper Virginia, as the lineal inheritors, leading me to
believe that this Philip is the firstborn son of Col. Sam & Ann Coleman
Clayton in the fashion the family property was passed down in those days.
love from Cynthia Claytonroberts, who took on her Beloved Grandmother's
mother's name
many many years ago in commemoration of the lost tribe.
As I am new to this list, I will simply introduce my line of Colemans.
I am hoping that I can get information on the siblings, parents and
forebears of the known head of my line, John Coleman.

I'm not sure <Oatman16(a)aol.com>, I've often thought that was a mispelling
due to reading olde English script, but I could be wrong. I have yet to
track down Mary Lort and I am in the middle of my CLAYTON/COLEMAN lines
which have your Ann Coleman, daughter of Thomas and Mary, marrying my
ggggggGrandfather Philip Clayton; their son Col. Samuel Clayton born 1739
in Culpeper, VA marrying his cousin, Ann Coleman, daughter of Robert, son
of Thomas and Mary and sibling of the first Ann.
Just for fun am sending along this scrap of information I uncovered FWIW,
hoping the resources mentioned might help you. Please don't ask me where I
found it - my files are a mess and my pre-gigabyte computer is crashing.
I believe you and I are cousins though. Aren't you thrilled? :)
Which Coleman sibling are you descended from?

SOME NOTES ON THE COLEMAN FAMILY OF
CAROLINE COUNTY, VIRGINIA
By GEORGE H. S. KING
The primary purpose of this article is to correct the statement made in
Cyclopedia ot Virginia Biography, Volume 1, page 215, that Ann Coleman,
daughter of Francis Coleman, Gent: of Caroline County, married Colonel
William Green. The following notes are designed to prove that Francis
Coleman's daughter Ann (1756-1798) married David Dickinson (1756-1812) of
Caroline county; while Ann Coleman, sister of Francis Coleman, married
William Green, Gent: of Culpeper county, Va.
In 20 Tylers Quarterly, P. 166 the compiler of these notes published the
will of Francis Coleman,,Gentleman, of Caroline county, which was probated
14 November 1771 together with some notes relative to his family. As
further data are now available it is thought fitting to include these
additional facts with this correction and at the same time call particular
attention to the Reverend Clayton Torrence's, article on the Coleman family
of Caroline county published in the sons of the Revolution in the State of
Virginia Semi-Annual Magazine Volume VI (July-Decmbcr 1928) Number 2, pages
82-86, for more detailed information.
Robert" Coleman was probably born in England circa 1656. He settled in
that portion of Rappahannock County which later became Essex county where
he was justice of the peace 1703, 1708, and 1709. He was sheriff of the
county in 1710 and 1712. his will was admitted to probate before the Essex
Court 13 August 1713. He married possibly in England Ann (Spilsby?) who
married second John Hunter and died in Essex leaving a will proved in 1717.
Their son, Robert2 Coleman resided in Drysdale Parish, King and Queen
County and by 1745 moved to Caroline County. While a resident of King &
Queen he married on 26 January l702/3 Mary Clayton, daughter of Samuel and
Susannah Clayton of Gloucester and King & Queen counties Robert Coleman was
doubtless a man of affairs tho the loss of the county records leaves
definite facts very scanty. The land office records show he was granted
patents for a considerable acreages The will of Robert Coleman was
presented in Caroline County Court 13 May 1748 by Spilsbe Coleman, one of
the executors therein named, and was ordered recorded.1
Their son, Samuel3 Coleman was born in King & Queen county, 27 April 1704.
In an old vellum bound pocket note book marked "Robert Coleman, His Book",
now owned by Miss Blaydes of Spotsylvania county, appear the entries of the
marriage of Robert Coleman to Mary Clayton in January 26, 1702/3 and the
birth of Samuel Coleman on 27 April 1704. This book also carries entries:
"My Mother Clayton died Nov. 1, 1710" and also "Susanna Clayton died Nov.
4, 1710". Samuel Coleman was a licensed ordinary keeper in Caroline county
in 1732 and surveyor of the roads in 1734. The court house was built on
his land.
Tradition states that Samuel Coleman's wife Elizabeth, was nee Wyatt She
appears on the records as Betty Coleman and by 1749 married Captain William
John-

Thomas Coleman was born 1678 New Kent co VA. He was the son of Robert
Coleman and Ann Spilsbe. He married Mary Lort. When? Where? Their children
were: Grizzell, Ann, Elizabeth, Richard Lort, Robert, Thomas, Lucy, and
Dolly. He died abt 1747 (will proved 3-14-1748). Where?
Do you know where in Louisiana that he died. Also... do you know of his
children. And his race?
I have a Charlie Coleman in my line who died in Louisiana. I will check out
the date.

Does anyone have a Joab Coleman, b. ca.1756, NJ? I would be interested in
knowing the names of his brothers, if any. Also his parents.
Thank you.

I plan to order the book about the Coleman surname. I deleted the e-mail
with the address and wanted to confirm the information.

Looking for information on the Hynson/Coleman connection from Kent Co., Md.
The Index of Marriage Licenses of Kent County, Maryland located in the Courthouse in Chestertown, Maryland lists a marriage licence for Samuel James Coleman and Ann Rebecca Coleman, March 06, 1827, married by Rev. Ayers. It is unknown if Ann's maiden name was Coleman or if she was named Coleman from a previous marriage to another Coleman. A second marriage is listed for Samuel James Coleman to Maryetta Hynson of Kent County, May 13, 1854 by Rev. Massey. A grave exists at the Hynson Chapel on Baker's Lane and Ricaud's Branch Road and Lankford Road for George Coleman, age 28 yrs, died January 15th, 1867. The data for the first marriage is consistent with records left by his great-granddaughter, Myrtle Coleman. She also mentioned that it was believed that Samuel James Coleman remarried after the death of Ann. There are also five other Kent County, Maryland marriages listed for people by the name of Samuel Coleman for the approximate period of his life, making genealogical !
research difficult and confusing. They are:
Coleman, Samuel Kent Co. to Sarah Ann Tull Kent Co, June 11, 1822, Rev. Ayers
Coleman, Samuel Kent Co. to Eliz. Fray Kent Co, Aug. 9, 1831, Rev. Thomas Smith
Coleman, Samuel Kent Co. to Mary M. Crouch Kent Co, Oct. 25, 1847, Rev. Williams
Coleman, Samuel Kent Co. to Susan T.Ashley Kent Co, Sept 21, 1854, Rev. Massey
Kent Co, Sept 21, 1854, Rev. =
Massey
Greetings,
Speaking of strange name connections (as in the Wood - Coleman) my
gg grandfather Robert Coleman Hoskins b July, 1805 in Washington Co KY.
must have some connection to the
Coleman family, but so far I haven't found it. His parents were James
Hoskins
and Rebecca (Rebeckah) Smith {her guardian Samuel robertson signed the
;marriage bond married 14 Nov 1804 Washington CO, KY.
Does this ring any bells with anyone? some sibling that married a Smith or
Hoskins and named their child
James or Rebecca?
Thanks, Jeannette
