[COLEMAN] PA-Il-? William Coleman 1840-?
by Susan and Larry Johannaber
I am looking for information about William Coleman, born 10/31/1840 in Mercer Co., PA, father - Samuel, mother - Sarah Albin. The family moved to Knox County, IL in <1856>. William married Sarah Elizabeth Leigh. They are listed in the Knox County, IL. in 1880. I do not find him or his family after 1880. I have unsubstantiated information that his daughter Cora was living in Colorado at the time of her marriage in <1890>. Cora and husband moved to Riverside, CA, possibly on to Los Angeles and back to Riverside, where they resided until retirement.
Does anyone have information regarding my William Coleman? He may have been in the clergy, however the census lists his occupation as "farmer."
I am also interested in William's father's, Samuel's, parents and siblings.
Thank you,
Susan
