Heirs of Ann Kelly Coleman are listed in Nathan Kelley's will from Warren Co.,Ohio. It was made in 1845 after Ann had died. She may have been left out of the biography because she died before he did.

I recently found a bio of Nathan KELLEY (KELLY) which I've provided below. Up until now, I thought I had his children documented but the bio gives me a problem. The children I had for him match the bio except for Ann b. 1778 d. 1838, Rachel b. 1786 d. 1790, Dan Miller b. 1792 d. 1795, and Mary b. 1788 d. 1791. I can understand Rachel, Dan, and Mary not being listed as they died as very small children. My puzzle now is with Ann. I have Ann b. 31 Dec 1778 in Morgan, Washington County, Pa. She died 28 Nov 1838 in Shelby County, Ohio. She married about 1794 in Ohio to Phillip COLEMAN, b. 6 Sep 1771 in Montgomery County, Pa. (another record has his birth place as Campbell County, Kentucky), d. 27 Nov 1838. If anyone has any info on this family (or on this Ann Kelley/Kelly) and can shed some light on the Ann mystery I would really appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Mike Peterson

He was again married to Mary (Pierce) Van Meter, who bore him one child-Priscilla. He was an exemplary member of the M. E. Church, and stood high in the order of Masonry.

Hi everyone
I am new to this list and wonder if anyone is connected to this family -
John Walker COLEMAN born Alabama in 1843 died in New Orleans in 1895 married
Ann Heation BROWNLEE in New Orleans. They had -
1. Isabella Brownlee COLEMAN married Herman WIESE in Glasgow, Scotland and
they lived in Denmark. They had Isabella Brownlee WIESE, George Frederick
WIESE and Mildred Annie WIESE.
2. Walker Bibb COLEMAN married Selina Bobb HART. They lived in San
Antonio and Beaufort? Texas and then back in New Orleans. Walker was a
Produce Merchant and died in 1958. They had two children, Kathleen I.
COLEMAN married Russell HOLLENBECK, and Walker B. COLEMAN married Doris
BERTHELOT.
3. Samuel Carey COLEMAN married Lucy Marie CLAIBORNE in New Orleans. They
were only married for 3 years before Lucy died of influenza in 1919. Samuel
died in New York in 1923, he was a Cotton Broker. They had no children.
4. John James COLEMAN married Maurien? ?? in approx. 1923. She was
Canadian. He was an apprentice in Chicago in 1910. By about 1914 he was in
Toronto and worked for Thomas Firth, a steel industry company I think. In
the 1930 Census he is living in Hartford Connecticut. He has children Ann
aged 6, John J. aged 3 and Maureen aged about 8 months in this Census. The
two elder children were born in Canada.
5. James Brownlee COLEMAN died aged about 12 months.
My connection with this family is through the BROWNLEE family. I would like
to make contact with any descendants and am particularly interested in any
old photos of these people.

Hi, I am interested in information on Edward Coleman and his wife Elizabeth Long who lived in Harrison co. Ky. from the late 1700s to the earlier 1800s. Their son William A. Coleman born in 1804 might be my great great great grandfather. I would like to hear from anyone on this Coleman family. Thank you. Duane McKenzie. dmckenze(a)hutchtel.net
