Hey gang-
Thanks for all the help as I have been a busy little bee searching like a crazy woman!
I found my George W. Coleman in the 1870 census in Pemiscott County -
George J. Coleman 28 Farmer born in VA
Elizabeth 27 born in TN
George W. 4 (F)
Zelia L. 3 (F)
Lea A. 1 month
Now -if I could just find were he went after 1900 - he doesn't show up anywhere.
Does anyone have a Zelia or Lea anywhere in their information? Maybe George W. went to live with his sisters or something - I haven't run across these names anywhere that I can remember.
Still searching and still open to any suggestions.
Thanks,
Donna
Hey Gang,
I am so disheartened, James M. Coleman did have a son named George Coleman but unless my George was listed in the 1900 census twice it can't be him -
OK, here's the deal, I can only find my George W. Coleman in the 1900 census - for 2 days I have looked at all 78 pages of the 1910 census for Cottonwood Point, Pemiscott County, Missouri and can find NO George - Mattie - Clay - Lucy or John B. Coleman - I have done a search on Ancestry.com in IL, TN, MO, AR and the rest of the US - come up with some George Coleman's but it's never the right one.
Here's my question - if I can only find him in 1900 in Pemiscott County census - WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE? Any suggestions would be most appreciated as I am obsessed and almost to the point of ignoring my family. (HA) Humor at this point can't hurt!
Thanks is advance!

Hey gang:
I think I have found the father of George W. Coleman (my great-grandfather) in the 1880 and 1900 census in Warren County, Bridgeport, Missouri. James M. Coleman born in VA in 1843 Father in VA and Mother in VA. Married to Sarah, born 1843 in IN, mother born in VA and father in WVA. Children were James S. Coleman, George W. Coleman, Alice A. Coleman, Anna B. Coleman, and John G. Coleman. Does any of these match up with anyone else - I sure hope so - I have dug up a bunch of these Coleman folks and this is as close as I have come so far.
Thanks in advance,
Donna Herring Eades

I can't seem to put my George W. Coleman or Clay W. Coleman in this family but maybe someone can use this - I am also sending the shortcut to the site - maybe someone can use it. I found it a very interesting tidbit.

Colman-Hayter Family Papers, 1839-1900 (C84)
.2 linear feet
INTRODUCTION
Correspondence and miscellaneous material of a northwest Missouri family. Correspondence includes letters from William S. Hayter who was with General Stephen W. Kearny in the Southwest during the Mexican War; letters from Washington and Thomas J. Hayter describing their lives in the Oregon Territory; letters from Henry Colman during his trips down the Mississippi; letters from Mary Colman Belt to her family in Texas; and letters of Thomas H. Colman and Abraham G. Hayter, soldiers in the Confederate Army.
DONOR INFORMATION
The Colman-Hayter Family Papers were donated to the University of Missouri on October 20, 1953 by Robert Elgin, grandson of Marion P. and Jane Colman-Collins.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
James H. and Sarah Hayter resided in Franklin, Howard County, Missouri. Their children included: Elizabeth, William S., Washington, Thomas J., and Abraham G.
Elizabeth married Henry Colman, a merchant in Liberty, Missouri, who later moved to Weston, Missouri, east Texas, and then to Platte City, Missouri. Their children included Mary, Deborah, Jane, A. Jackson, Thomas H., John C., Ann, Sarah, Robert, and Cassie.
In 1846 William S. Hayter went with General Stephen W. Kearny to the Southwest to fight in the Mexican War. He returned to Howard County, then journeyed to California during the Gold Rush, where he died in 1850. Washington and Thomas J. Hayter settled in Oregon in the 1850s . One of Elizabeth=s sons, John C. Colman, accompanied them. Shortly thereafter John C. left his uncles, wandered through California, and eventually returned to Missouri.
In the late 1850s Henry and Elizabeth Colman, along with many of their children, moved from Weston to east Texas. At least one of their children, Mary Colman Belt, remained in Missouri. At the onset of the Civil War, Thomas H. Colman joined the Confederate Army and served for the entire war. Abraham G. Hayter also joined the Confederate Army as one of Price=s Missouri Volunteers.
After the Civil War Henry Colman returned to Missouri, apprenticed as a tinsmith, saved his money, and with the help of his son-in-law, George W. Belt, established a store in Platte City. Some of his children stayed in Texas while others returned to Missouri. Ann married a Mr. Poole during the war, Jane married Marion P. Collins, and Deborah married a Mr. Perry.
I know what I have written is long but maybe what I write to the Coleman
group today WILL help find my mother's great grandfather. There are 4 out of
8 children living in her family she is 77, sister will be 90 and her 2
brothers living are 75 and 79. I want to find Joshua before these 4 die.The
first grandchild of Sam and Sarah is still living between him,Walter
Sessions, and my aunt Sarah Elizabeth Coleman Connor they remembers a lot of
history but never knew past Joshua. Main memory for all is " He had brothers
and cousins all J names in the hills of TN. Thats IT. There were alot of
daughters that are unknown also. I have recent met a lady whose Coleman
family lived on Duck Creek. She looks like several Mom's family and has that
snow white hair with waves.
My Sam Coleman [William Samuel B. 1848 Flat Creek] His father was Joshua C.
Coleman b. 1828 TN nickname Jack. I have seen his name as John, James,
Jammie. He is buried as J. C. Coleman by his 2nd wife Jane Floyd, 1st
husband John Bearden. Some of Mom's cousins have a letter written by him and
he calls himself Jack and Joshua. Someone did a family tree for this family
and entered many, many wrong names, birth dates, and combined Colemans that
weren't in this family. Now my generation is determined to get the
correct and Proven family tree THIS TIME . We number over 500 known
descendents of Joshua and Sarah Byrd. His 2nd wife Jane Floyd, she is also
my great great great aunt Her niece Sarah Boone is my great grandmother.
Talk about double cousins. One reason most of this family group moved to TX
in 1873. All of the family Bibles, records, pictures were not copied before
all of it was lost in a flood. Well what I want to say is this Joshua raised
15 children His and Sarah's, Jane and Johns and his and Janes. I have all of
their names, most of their birthdays, who they married and a few of their
children. Mom has a cousin in CA and she put together her family and some
of us have it. It is a Stephens Genealogy. But she has the same brick wall
as the rest of us. We all know if we find out which Colemans in the area of
Bedford, Lincoln, Rutherford, Hawkins counties in TN had children in the
1820's. Then we can work census, tax records, deeds, slave record and
records of the ones free in 1850 by this family group, we may find our
family. When I did the mailing in 1979 for our family reunion I had over 500
addresses for SAM and SARAH Boone Coleman family. They had 13 children and
helped raised other kin's children. Their sons and daughter who had children
had 5 to 15 children. I have a question about records. Please inform me
about the ways you have success fully stored information. Have any of you
put your information on CDs? I have pages of family history in boxes,
folders albums and in my head [BAD STOREAGE PLACE HA] Alicia

Hello!!
Is anyone working on Coleman in Alabama? William Coleman, was born in 1802.
His daughter gave his place of birth (in 1860 census) as Alabama.
William married Sarah Ogden, who was born in 1806, in Tattnall Co., Georgia.
Can anyone help me with this? They were my gg-grandparents. Their children
were James J., Nancy E., Sirena A. "Polly", William A., Greenberry, Sarah
Ardilla "Dilly", Amanda, John H. and Eugenia Coleman, who was my g-gm. There
could have been one or more older children.
Thank you very much for any help on my brick wall!

You tracked Colemans from Tenn. to TX and mentioned Birds/Byrds. This
triggers my response, which is that there were Birds and Colemans in Kent
County, MD around 1810. Those Colemans were alleged to come from Wales.
Let me know if further detail is wanted.
Dick Coleman
My great great grandparents were Joshua C. (Jack or J.C.)Coleman b. 1823
and Sarah Ann (Sally) Bird/Byrd b. 1826. This couple is my last brickwall.
When I seriously started searching in 1983 I had 4 brickwalls. This couple's
3rd son was William Samuel Coleman b. 1848 mar. Sarah Ann Boone b. 1855
moved to TX 1873. Joshua and Sarah have a very large family in TX. No one
has had ANY success in locating the parents of Joshua or Sarah. He is buried
in the Pisgah Cem. Flatcreek, Bedford CO TN by his 2nd wife Jane Floyd
Bearden( Sarah Boone's aunt). Joshua and Jane had 7 children, this couple
had a total of 15 children, his, hers and theirs. I would think someone
living is a descendent of this family and just may have a dusty box, Bible
or papers that holds the names of the parents of Joshua and Sarah. I have a
verbal history that my Coleman's were from Wales and the Byrd's are from
England 3 or more generations before 1823.

The subject Charles was born 1763 in Kent County, MD. He and wife Elizabeth
Yearley Coleman had moved to Indiana County, PA by 1815. Sons and daughters
were Elijah, Chas., Alex, John, Samual, Elisha, Martha, Frances, and maybe a
Mary.
The genealogy of this family is fairly well documented by myself and others.
The purpose of this e-mail is simply to offer to share info with anyone that
is just starting to look at this particular Coleman family.

RE THE ABOVE:
I have run across you before, I believe. I also have a ROBERT COLEMAN
in my ancestry. He was born circa 1787 in Ireland and mar. a SARAH b circa
1784. At least three of their children had names, the same as you mentioned
i.e. David, John, and Jane.
My ROBERT settled somewhere in the U.S. I don't know where. Since he
was loyal to the crown of England and Canada was more favorable to Loyalists,
he settled in Ontario, Canada and remained there until his death. However, I
have recorded that most of his children were born in the U.S.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

My recent experience in finally finding my Coleman ancestor in an 1850
census after several unsucessful attempts might have some benefits for other
researchers.
There are many more ways to spell the name than COLEMAN. If an index can be
searched by Soundex Codes, use C450 and C455; maybe also even K450 and
K455. Another tip is to look in the neighborhood of COLEMAN in printed
indexes. I was surprised to find the COALMAN spelling; Also don't forget
KOHLMAN, COLMAN, etc. There are also some ...MON spellings instead of ...MON
at the end.
I was lucky to find the COALMA entry in 1850 Laurens Co., SC without
reading the whole census. (The 1850 enumerator left off the N at the end and
it got indexed as COALMA. C450 caught it; C455 didn't.
