Does anyone know of a Col.W.W. Coleman who had a dtr India Victoria Coleman
who was living in Maury Co. TN in 1850's? she married a Tom Jones of
Franklin TN. M.E. jsorensen4(a)cfl.rr.com
Looking for parents and siblings of the above Lois Amelia Coleman b 11/26/56
in "Chowassee" County (likely Shiawassee County, Michigan).
Lois Amelia was first married probably in Calloway County, Missouri. Her
first husband was James Brumfield, son of Humphrey Brumfield and Mary Ann King
Brumfield. Lois had supposedly lived as a child in Virginia. Her father ? Coleman
shows up on a census as born in New York, and her ? mother shows up as having
been born in Kentucky.
On the 1880 Calloway County, Missouri at Cote-Sans-Dessein, Lois is shown
with husband James Brumfield (probably married in 1875) and two children, Emma
Brumfield born Noc. 19, 1876 and William Brumfield age 1. In Nov, 1883, still in
Missouri, James Claude Brumfield was born, and in April, 1881, a daughter
Minnie Elmer Brumfield. In 1890, Lois is re-married to John Simple Jackson, and
I believe this marriage took place in Oklahoma.
On the 1900 Choctaw Nation Indian Census, John Simple Jackson shows his wife,
Louisa A (Lois Amelia). His birth is listed as 1850 on that census, but he
was actually born Dec. 15, 1840, and in Iowa. He had been previously married and
had children either in Michigan or Indiana, no information on that family to
date.
Lois Amelia and John Jackson lived in Allen, Indian Territory, Oklahoma. They
had the following children together:
1. Lemuel Jackson b Mar. 3, 1892 d July 22, 1945. On records from the
Vinita, Oklahoma Mental Health Hospital where Lemuel was admitted, it states
that he was married about 1913, was separated from his wife and had one male and
one female child.
2. Hattie Bell Jackson b Dec. 13, 1893 in Allen, OK died Mar. 21, 1958
in Henryetta Oklahoma. First married to Thomas Lewis and second to John George
Cameron.
3. Theodore Roosevelt Jackson born 1900, was in the Navy, in California
until the mid 50's, no further information.
4. Hildred Jackson b 1895, d 1910 at age 15 from Typhoid.
John Simple Jackson, father of the Jackson children died in 1904. He was a
minister in Allen, Oklahoma and is buried in the old Allen cemetery, as is his
son, Lemuel, although Lemuel does not have a grave stone. John was a high
degree Mason, worshipful master in 1900, in the Logan County, Gilmore Lodge 81
located in Allen, Oklahoma.
Following John's death, Lois Amelia sent two of her children, Hildred and
Theodore to live at the Masonic Home for Widows and Orphans. Hildred was the
first death in the facility. Theodore left the facility at a young age, lied about
his age and entered the Navy. After Hildred's death, Lois Amelia became a
resident at the home. She died there on Nov. 12, 1915 of asthma and chronic
bronchitis. Both she and her daughter Hildred were buried in the Masonic cemetery
in Darlington, OK (now a ghost town). Their graves and others were moved on
June 21, 1943 to Summit View Cemetery (Guthrie, Ok), Block 31, Lots 66 and 69.
Any information regarding Lois Amelia Coleman or any of this family would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sunny

Hi List,
Sorry, I thought I put the states down.
I had always thought they came directly from England to Michigan, however, I found on the 1930 Michigan Census that my Great Grandpa Clarence C. Coleman's parents were born in Ohio. That would be Stephen Coleman and Drucilla (Clement) Coleman
My Great Grandpa Clarence C. Coleman b. 1884 d. 1978 was born in Michigan and died in Oklahoma.
My Robert Coleman was the youngest of the 7 children of Clarence & Winnie Colemans, all the children were born in Michigan, according to the 1930 census
Is this all the info I have at the present time.
Nancy
Hi Rebecca,
A couple weeks ago my cousin Louis COLEMAN and his wife Grace gave me a few
pages of family history that you have in your Family Tree Maker. This was
their 50th wedding anniversary party and since they were so busy he let me
bring the pages home so I could make copies of them.
I believe he mentioned that you were related to some of the people at the
party who evidently were Coleman's. Louis and Grace are in CA right now
visiting his other two brothers Daniel and Billy.
I am just so curious to know if you can put any of this together and if so I
would love to correspond with you. Otherwise I will have to wait until they
return from their trip. Louis, Danny and Billy are my first cousins. Do
you recall anyone mentioning that they knew any of the RIGGS family?
Hope to hear from you.

I read your message with great interest as I have Coleman origins. My Gt Gt
Grandfather James Coleman was born around 1828 -30 and possibly hailed from
the same area as John, in fact my Gt Gt Grandparents James Coleman and
Catherine ( nee O'Brien ) called their first son born around 1852/53 John.
James and Catherine arrived in Manchester UK around 1850/1 and are noted on
the 1851 census living with Catherines brother and her O'Brien family
I was interested that your Gt Grandfather was a leather worker as my Gt GT
Grandfather was a journeyman/ cordwainer/ leather worker and worked from
home as a shoemaker. He had a daughter (my Gt grandmother) Mary Ann born
1859 and William born around mid 1860's who died in 1872.
My James died in Manchester in 1907 also from a haemorrage. I have been
longing to trace other family members and if you could keep the above in
mind who knows we may find a link!
I live in North Wales UK where the family moved to in early 1900's but I
often wonder how many of my Irish 'family' went to USA

Am looking for the family and birthplace of my great grandfather John
Coleman, an Irish immigrant who, according to the NY State Census of
1855, arrived in Manhattan in 1853. John was born about 1831-35, place
in Ireland not known, although there has been a suggestion of County
Cork.He married my great grandmother, Mary English, who arrived from
Waterford, Ireland in the same city in 1851.
Their first born was Mary Ellen in 1855. There were nine children in
all, Daniel, Michael Francis, Bridget (Delia), Margaret, Catherine,
Johanna Elizabeth, John and Henry. The family lived at #30 Broadway near
Battery Park and then on Catherine Street on the Lower East Side. They
moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in about 1869 and stayed in the Parish
of Stts Peter and Paul until about 1897.
John Coleman died in Nov.1880, said to be age 45, and is buried in
Calvary Cemetery. He was a laborer for most of his life, but in the 1880
Census the summer before he died he was listed as a leather worker. He
seems to have died of internal henorraghing. This fits with a story that
he died from a fall in a tanning loft. I have found no news reports of
such an accident. The death certificate indicates no autopsy or
Coroner's inquest.
I know a lot about Mary English and the children of John Coleman, but I
know nothing about his parents or his home town.
Any help or hints would be appreciated.

Wes:
My Grandfather insisted that his name was spelled Colmon. He became upset if
it was spelled Coleman. It sounds to me like it is all the same name.
Thanks for the Coleman name origins.

I`m seeking parents of William Johnson Coleman, born 1819, Elberta Co., Ga.;
,married Susan Elizabeth Flanagan.He served in the Civil War. Died 1906 in
TX.
He was my ggg/f.. Would appreciate clues.
scruggs(a)wireweb.net
I joined this list recently am just getting started. Really don't have much
of clue at this game yet.
I am trying to find out where the Colemans' came from originally believe it
was Ireland has anyone done any research back that far? Also believe a
branch went to London, around Bemondsey in the 14th century there were a
lot of Irish immigrants then working in the Bermondsey tanneries which is
where my fathers family come from.
