[COLEMAN] Francis Coleman of Kentucky
by Tom, Christy, C.T. Bennett
With the aid of some notes my GG-Uncle wrote, I have traced my Coleman line back to Francis in Kentucky as follows:
William Cornelius REID (1844-1906) married Lucy Ann COLEMAN (1858-1922) on 6 Dec. 1877, in Barren Co., KY. They had 11 children, the youngest is my GG-Uncle that supplied the information to me, his father died when he was very young.
Lucy Ann COLEMAN was a daughter of William COLEMAN (1825-1885) and Mary Malissa SHIELDS (1828-1887), both of who were born in Kentucky. They married on 8 Sept. 1846, in Allen Co., KY, and had at least 11 children. William was a blacksmith and faught in the Civil War for the Union.
William COLEMAN was a son of Francis Lee COLEMAN and Settie CARPENTER. The only information I have on Francis is that he was robbed and murdered in Lucas, KY.
If anyone connects, or has any other info on this line, please contact me.
