Knox Co. TN Colemans . . .
by Ron &/or Linda Coleman
Jack . . . San Marcos, CA - - My husband descends from the Knox Co. TN Line.
There have been several books put together by his line. Do any of these
names sound familiar to you? I do not know how your John born 1815 could fit
in. We have it back as far as James Coleman I, born ? in Ireland, married
to Nancy Ann ?, born in NC 9 Sept. 1770. Their children were (son) James
Coleman II born 22 Oct. 1799 in Orange Co. NC, married to Sarah (Sally)
Hickey, born 23 Sept 1802 in TN and (daughter) Isabella Coleman, born 18
March 1804, who married John Looney.
Nancy Ann shows up in church records in Knoxville, TN in the early 1800's -
about the time that her son, James II married Sally on 2 May 1822. We can
not find James I anywhere in Knoxville, nor can we find his death anywhere
in NC. He is our brick wall.
