Cluverius Coleman's son, James married Sarah Whitehead. They named their

James Coleman named a son, William Whitehead Coleman.
James Coleman and his wife both died at an early age. Cluverius became

Mary,
I have always thought that Massey was her maiden name and no one knew what
her first name was. However, I have been wrong in the past. However, after
years of searching for Cluverius, that is the only name for his wife that I can
find. How nice would it be to find their marriage bond....

Is there anyone on the Coleman line who is a descendant of Cluverius Coleman of Va? If so I'd like to "talk " to them about his wife Massey. Thanks. M.E. jsorensen4(a)cfl.rr.com

You seem to be an authority on all the Colemans that migrated "here and

Would you happen to have that information? I go as far back as Spencer
Coleman and have had suggestions that he may have descended from "a" Robert
Coleman, which one it is I do not know.
History I have. The family came from England prior to Revolutionary War,
settled in Virginia.
The following is from the history of the Coleman Family given by James
William Chilton.
The family came to America from England prior to Revolutionary War.
SPENCER COLEMAN b 1751/52 King & Queen Co, VA
Soldier in Revolutionary War, m LUCY WHITE
WILLIAM COLEMAN b 1789/1790 Cocke Co, TN
Soldier in War of 1812 m BETSY VAUGHN
ANDERSON COLEMAN b 1822 East TN, near Athens, and
when a young man moved to N.C., then back to TN
m MARTHA ALLEN, dau Major James Allen TN
In 1859 moved to Carter Co, MO
From that time on lived in Missouri
All information prior to the above that I have lists (?) Robert Coleman. I
have quite a bit of information on all descendents, but none on Robert.
Thank you for any suggestions you might have for the line of Colemans these
people would have descended from.

Shack Coleman, Rt. 2, Waynesburg, Ky, died June 15, 1983 after a long illness. He was 81 years old.
Mr. Coleman was born in Pike County on February 22, 1902, the son of George W. Coleman and Mary Moore. He was married to Oma Brown and was a retired farmer.
Survivors include his wife; a son, David Coleman of Waynesburg; six daughter, Gladys Phelps of Liberty, Faye Emerson and Micha Jones, both of Kings Mountain, Maggie Wesley of Waynesburg, Patricia Adams of Eubank and Gracie Rose of Monticello, a brother Dewey Coleman of Kings Mountain.
Shack Coleman was the son of George W. Coleman. George was born about 1845 in either Pike Co or Lyon Co., Ky.
George was a son of James Coleman, James was born about 1811 in North Carolina and married a "Catha", born about 1811 in Tennessee. This James could be from the Wesley Coleman group?? Any help or information or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Donna,
So very true. I am still a novice at this but can appreciate how much better
it is to be able to sit at my computer and see copies of census records,
historical documents, etc. My local library has a fantastic genealogy department
(Willard, Evanville, IN). The many genealogy websites offering advice and the
sharing of information is no doubt thanks to the countless people like you
that helped build a better way.
Thanks for your input.
Jane
Jane--
It is my opinion that we should always use primary evidence--that is the
original documents that happened as close to the event as possible. By that
I mean you would use a birth certificate to document a birth date, and you
would use a death certificate to document a death date. But that same death
certificate is not the best documentation of a birthdate.
I use things like the William & Mary Qtrly & the Colemans of Mobjack Bay as
hints on where to look for my primary documents. I try to get the best
documentation I can, but if I can find no other, then I might use one of
these as reference, but not without looking for a primary source first.
Just the thoughts of someone who remembers what it was like to have to send
a letter & a check with each request just to find out if the document was
even in that county. We all have an "easy" button now by comparison.
Donna
The problem
with proving that is my sources are the W & M Quarterly articles by A.L.
Keith
and 'Colemans of Mobjack Bay'.
Any thoughts?
Jane
My COLEMAN ancestor shows up in the 'Colemans of Mobjack Bay' website/
publication (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mobjackbaycolemansand ) and
that is Nancy COLEMAN, d/o James COLEMAN and Anna COCKE; b. abt. 1780,
Culpeper/ Madison Co. VA, m. Jacob YEAGER, 24 Apr, 1795, Madison Co., VA (Madison Co.,
VA Marriage Bonds 1793-1800, Pg 157, Item # 300); d. 1848, Henry or Fayette
Co., KY.
My question is:
To what extent is 'Coleman's of Mobjack Bay' considered a valid source of
reference? It has so much material and much of it seems to be well documented
but other parts seem to lacking with regard to sources. I am leery of family
narratives and have learned from the research done on Nancy COLEMAN'S husband,
Jacob YEAGER, that was published in the William and Mary Quarterly (articles
of A. L. Keith, Nicholas Yager and Descendants) that was accepted as valid for
many years only to be soundly disproven by recent (methodical) research. I
know that ultimately I am the one responsible for proving and documenting my own
research, but I will admit that I do look for the 'EASY' button.
I can prove that my g-grandmother was Lucy MAHONEY, d/o Elza and Sarah Ann
Frances (UNDERWOOD) MAHONEY. Lucy married Richard HEDRICKS - reported as
HENDRICKS in the Mobjack Bay website (and others). I can prove that Elza MAHONEY
was the s/o Fielding and Rebecca (YEAGER) MAHONEY (sometimes reported as
MAHORNEY). Rebecca YEAGER is the d/o Jacob and Nancy (COLEMAN) YEAGER. The problem
with proving that is my sources are the W & M Quarterly articles by A.L. Keith
and 'Colemans of Mobjack Bay'.
Any thoughts?

She traces several generations of Colemans, beginning with Thomas Coleman, formerly of Evesham, Worchestershire, England, who arrived in America about 1635, and settled in the present-day area of Connecticut. His history is very readable and informative. I encourage you to take a look at it.
This Website is just one of many which contain information about various branches of the Coleman lines. There are many accounts of other Colemans in the original colonies. One Internet shot-gun research approach is to type in "Coleman colonists in America" or something similar in your favorite search engine to open up a broad range of interesting and informative reading.

Subject: [COLEMAN] Coleman
To Linda and All,
Thank you for your e.mail, I think in the past somewhere I read that there
was a Coleman on one of the early ships that sailed to America. That is
Elizabethan times I wonder if anyone can confirm this? from Pat

To Ralph,
I have just read through the infromation on the web-site you posted, I got
there from the link
that someone else posted. I have found it very informative, all those films
I have seen just came to life. The history of it, however, has the greatest
impact to think you have 300 years behind you all, I am impressed. I, by
the way live in England, my Coleman family got as far as Tyneside, England to
join the many in the coal and engineering industry but they were never miners.
Pat
