We are also looking for Rev. James T.'s parents--he is my 4x great grandfather:-). He appears to have a GAR marker, so fought for Union in Civil War, but we can't find much on his parents. Only what you have in this post. Did you get any farther?

Have you ever heard of Calvin Milton Coleman or his name may
have been Milton Calvin Coleman? He had at least one brother, or at least I think they were brothers, His name was Crowder Coleman, or it could have been his father. They lived in the N.C. Mountains.
Somewhere in or near Burke County, North Carolina. Crowder Coleman was my Grandmother-in-law's Father. I have so much more info to share and trade with anyone who can help me

Ervin/Edwin Coleman in Pittsburgh, circa 1930

JeffreyBillman — 2012-05-02 04:20:14Z

Looking for information on Ervin (possibly Edwin) Coleman, recorded in the 1930 Census on Grandview Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He married a woman by the name of Viola Druzilla, last name possibly Gourley; marriage possibly occurred in Monroe County, Ohio in the 1920's. Ervin and Viola had two children living with them in Pittsburgh, Mildred and Willard. Willard went on to military service after World War II, and is buried at Rock Island National Cemetery in Illinois after apparently living in the Quad Cities area (Iowa, it seems). Mildred married a man with the last name of Gossard, and died in Ohio in 1965. Viola re-married in 1936, to Oran Jasper Fisk; they both died near Cambridge, Ohio in February 1969. (Car accident?)

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Robert Alexander Coleman

gljones7 — 2012-04-28 07:05:26Z

My g-g-grandfather was Robert Alexander Coleman, born around 1863 in Hickman Co, TN, son of Rufus Coleman (1812-1887) & Elizabeth Hoover (1819-1883). He moved to Beaver, UT and was married in 1888 to Clara Slaughter. After having two children together (Millie & Claire), they separated and were later divorced. He left Utah and wasn't heard of again, as far as our family knows.

I would dearly love to find out where he went, how long he lived, whether he re-married and possibly had additional children, and when/where he died. If anyone has information about his life or family, I would appreciate hearing from you!

Kayla: Not much for certain but here goes: May b.Sept 13, 1882 in Toledo Lucas Co.had brothers: Willis and Willie both b. Dec. 1884, Earl b. June 1886 , Ross b. Jan. 1890, and Ralph b. Feb. 1896.
Adie and Henry m. 24 May 1881 in Wood Co. Ohio no parents names on the Certf.
Adie's name only shows up in her marriage Certif., the birth of her kids and the 1900 Census.
Here is the uncertain: Her parents likely came out of Pa. as that and Ireland is the only place to find any "CERAY's"
The closest to finding her in the 1880 census is an 18 year old Servant girl in Cincinnati named Abby. Abby is a lot more familiar to a census taker then Adie.

Looking for information on Addie Ceray Coleman / OR her name might have been Ida Coleman. (I've seen both used- more Addie than Ida, but since I've seen both, I'm putting both out there since I'm clueless). She was my GGG Grandmother. The only thing I know is that she was born about 1862 in Ohio, and died december 15 1922 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. She married Henry R Donaldson, and had a child (my GG grandmother) Mae OR (may) Belle Donaldson.
If anyone has ANY information on her, please let me know, I would appreciate it so much. I would love to know who her parents were.

Thank you so much,

Ellen and Nora Coleman came to Ireland sometime in the 1870s. Census records disagree as to exactly what year.
Ellen married Jeremiah Sullivan, which I can confirm because they are buried in the same lot as my grandmother, Nora Coleman Harris. I just found an Ellen Coleman and a Jeremiah Sullivan both arriving in Boston on the ship Tripoli on April 25, 1870 - does anyone have any information that might confirm whether this was the same folks I am looking for?

Re: Wilson Coleman 1829 - 1908

ljanemitakides — 2012-04-09 18:33:14Z

By the way, the actual birth date of Wilson Coleman are Jan 8, 1929 and His Wife Martha Ann (not the mother of his children; their aunt and stepmother) was July 12, 1827. I have it in a family Bible. I think Ann was his mother, widow of the original Wilson.

Re: Wilson Coleman 1829 - 1908

ljanemitakides — 2012-04-09 18:12:28Z

Wilson Coleman of Tennessee was my g-g-grandfather. According to old family tradition, he was Wilson Coleman, Jr. The original Wilson was supposedly married to Sally White. They were from Virginia. In the 1950 census,he is living with an older "Ann" and Joseph, and I don't know about that. I think Ann was probably his mother, maybe Sally Ann. He married sisters: Sarah Jane Isbell and Martha Isbell. Martha had married a man named Stephenson, and was widowed. My g-grandmother was daughter of Lawson Isbell, a second cousin of her husband John Redmond Coleman. I'd love to tie some of this in, and finally learn who Wilson Coleman's people are. Many were located in Maury County.

Re: Coleman Family of Prince Edward Co., VA-Related to Spislby/Grizzell?

Not sure if it's the same "Thomas Brown", but possibly? My Robert Brown Sr.[b. 1759, Culpeper Co., VA.]and his brother Pollard Brown[b. 1762, Culpeper Co., VA.] were mentioned as heirs in a 1780 Culpeper Co., VA. will of Christopher Zimmerman Jr. Also mentioned in that will were a Thomas Brown and a John Brown. I believe these 2 other Browns[Thomas & John]were related to my Robert Brown and his brother Pollard Brown. I believe one of Robert Browns sons married a Suckey/Sucky Zimmerman. One of my Brown related cousins has traced one of our male Brown ancestors being married to an Elizabeth Coleman.

I have more information and genealogy files on my Brown ancestors. If you would like me to email you one of my Brown genealogy files, let me know. My Brown line can be found at brownsociety.org My Browns are in family [DNA] group #33. Good luck

Vernon Coleman (civilian engineer in WWII)

ben957 — 2012-04-03 20:53:42Z

Vernon Coleman was a civilian engineer during WWII in Northern Ireland. Can I ask if you can check YOUR Coleman family members and if you have or had a Vernon Coleman that constructed military airfields in Northern Ireland (particularly county Fermanagh)from 1939 onwards. Vernon would be about 80 years old and probably worked for Merrit Chapman (as a civilian). He may also have come from Aspen in CO. originally. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Aleatha Coleman and Francis Kirkpatrick

Fundy52 — 2012-03-30 16:34:40Z

Unfortunately, do not know any descendants of David. My 2nd cousin has already obtained the DNA test for a male descendant of a John Coleman who might be a brother of David.

Re: Seth Coleman in Monroe Co IL etc.

Fundy52 — 2012-03-29 20:13:59Z

Thanks. I am aware that there was a Seth Coleman who was a brother of the people mentioned in the link you sent me. I have seen an Ancestry tree that has this Seth deceased about 1815 but the tree gives no sources so any relationship to my Coleman line is still speculation. The Seth Coleman from Monroe Co IL died around 1829. I am speculating that the latter Seth could have been a son (or even a nephew given how often children were named after other family members in the day.) The John and Jesse listed in my first post were both born in North Carolina per census data. Finally, a cousin of mine has established through DNA that there is a relationship to Mobjack Colemans which I believe the older Seth and his siblings belonged. The search continues.....

Re: Aleatha Coleman and Francis Kirkpatrick

Warren_Coleman — 2012-03-29 19:36:43Z

I believe that Family Search shows Aletha Dau/of David
and David Son/of Seth. If there is a direct male descendent
of Seth then a DNA Test would be helpful. I would advise if you like... warrclmn at yahoo dot com

Re: Aleatha Coleman and Francis Kirkpatrick

Fundy52 — 2012-03-28 23:07:52Z

I am trying to determine if I am a descendant of Seth Coleman through one of his sons. I believe Seth's wife was named Lucy Satterfield. I think Seth died in Monroe Co IL around 1829. There is an estate filing in Monroe Co IL dated 1829 but I have not seen it but perhaps it will give clues on children. My gr gr grandfather John Coleman married first Sarah (Sally) Rutherford---I suspect John is a son of Seth but cannot yet prove it. John appears to have been a brother of Jesse (male). I have found a source that says that Seth and Lucy were parents of a David Coleman. If you think we can compare notes further please post--thanks.

Seth Coleman in Monroe Co IL etc.

Fundy52 — 2012-03-28 22:51:11Z

Seth Coleman lived in Monroe Co., IL per 1820 census and there is a record of a 1829 estate filing in a Monroe Co genealogy site for Seth so he died thereabouts.
Seth Coleman was married to Lucy Satterfield per a Familysearch.org entry---same entry lists them as parents of a David Coleman. David married Lucinda Hagler in Warren Co., IL in 1840's---the couple moved on to Iowa. I think Seth and Lucy may have been the parents of a Jesse (born around 1807?) and John born in 1816. Both Jesse and John lived part of their adult lives in Warren Co IL. Seth Coleman may have come from North Carolina and I am also trying to tie him to Coleman's from Person Co., NC and other NC counties. If anyone can add to what I know and what I am guessing, I would appreciate any information that would confirm or refute Seth Coleman as the parent of Jesse or John Coleman (born 1816 and who lived in Ft Scott, Bourbon Co KS at time of his death in 1887.) Obviously, a goal is to get to the Monroe Co IL courthouse.
