Are there any copies of the book "The Coleman Brothers" available. It's the genealogy of 3 brothers from Penn - Thomas (my direct ancestor), Michael and James. It was written by Georgia Coleman.
I'd appreciate any information.
Thanks

Dear list,
Awhile back I posted a request on this list concerning a Robert Coleman born abt feb 1840 supposedly born in Georgia who married a Sarah "Sallie" Bostick from Mississippi. Most of there kids were born in Arkansas, I found them on 1900 Census in Kaufman County, Texas.
Recently I was checking other states and found a Robert Coleman born abt 1841 with a wife Sallie ? living in Todd County, KY. I don't have a map in front of me but could this be close to arkansas, if so this 1880 Census says that this Robert Coleman was from Virginia. Could they be the same family.
They had a daughter Ally or Allie May Coleman born abt 1885. I believe her to be oldest child, so in 1880 they might not have had children. Can't remember what 1880 Census said.
Is any Coleman's related to this Couple, I believe he has a sister Lucena Colman who married a Barker.

I'm trying to find information on William Harris Coleman's ancestors.
He was born 1789 in VA. He married Ann Hawes, born 1-27-1792 in VA. She
died about 1852.
Any information would be appreciated.
Does anyone on this list subscribe to a magazine called /Coleman World/?
If so, what is the mailing address or web site for the publication?
Is it a monthly publication? What does the subscription cost?
How would you rate it?
Thanks,
Cathy

The Age does fit better and since the middle initial doesn't match-up,
you are probably right. There WERE Colemans in Crawfordsville, and the
photo was taken in a Crawfordsville studio.

Hi,
I recieved a copy of the picture this J.A. Coleman or John Coleman.
He resembles my family of Colemans.
see below: The John Coleman, that I think he is, was the son of John and
Nancy (Proud) Coleman.
He married his cousin... Mary Coleman the daughter of Asa and Anna (Scott)
Coleman
Aza, Mary Coleman's father gave her and her sister Caroline Coleman Guntle
a farm in Montgomery Co. IN as wedding presents.
(I have the bio on Aza Coleman found in History of Warren Co. Ohio.)
His family originated in Fayette Co. PA. The father being John Coleman and
mother Margaret (Savage) John came to USA from Holland with his parents
(Joseph and Elizabeth) .
John was a blacksmith and it was said that he shoed the horse of George
Washington and he nailed them on backwards to fool the Brittish.
The children were Aza, (1811 - 1891) - Joseph, Nancy, John, and Josiah
(1816-1898)
The family ended up in Warren Co. Ohio, where Aza stayed...Dr. josiah
Coleman went to Nodaway Co. Mo. then to Montgomery co. KS.
I a lot of information on this family ..too much to list here...if you're
interested please email.
I also have info on the Guntle family.

Hello List!
Is anyone working on the family of William Coleman and Sarah Ogden, of
Bienville Parish, Louisiana? He was born in 1802 in Tennessee and she was born in
1806 in Georgia. Her parents were Daniel Ogden and Mary Sapp, of Tattnall
Co., GA.
Thanks,
Shirley (gg-granddaughter)

I am looking for information on William Coleman who married Sarah Tindall on January 25, 1839 in Shelby co. Ind. William Coleman died on July 9, 1859-60 in Noble Township, Shelby co. Ind. and he is said to be buried in the Winchester Methodist Cemetery in Washington or Noble Township, Shelby co. Ind. by the Tindalls. William Coleman was born on May 25, 1800 or June 1804 in Indiana or Kentucky and his father might have been Richard Coleman. I would like to hear from anyone on this family. Duane McKenzie. dmckenze(a)hutchtel.net
Hey Icanswing,
Do you have any "Hawley" family names married to Coleman or "Mills."
Thanks

This is another note from Jeff Schism who is not subscribed to this
list. He is unlikely to see any replies sent only to the list. Note that
this family is not one that he is researching, rather he has a number of
records from Montgomery County, Indiana, where these Colemans
resided. Discussion of this family lineage here on the list will probably
be beneficial to other Coleman researchers.

>Smith; Mrs. LaCying of Crawfordsville; Mr. & Mrs. WJ Miles; Mr. & Mrs.
>Nelson Rice; Mrs. Sarah Jane Rice and family, Charles Servies; Isaac Rice

>Mrs. Charles Cauldwell and Mr. & Mrs. Harry Coons of Browns Valley.
