(6) JOHN COLEMAN
Sixth Known, Surviving Child of Robert Coleman and Elizabeth Grizzell
Of Mobjack Bay Virginia
Traditionally, Samuel Coleman has been listed as a son of Daniel Coleman2 (p. 472). The first mention of Samuel in a legal record occurred in 1728 Gloucester Co. VA when he was named in an indenture. Samuel would have been at least 21 years of age. However, he may have been born during the late 1690’s, in a year when no entries were made in the Abingdon Parish Register. Daniel Coleman2 left Gloucester Co. early and was living in New Kent Co. in 1688. By 1691, New Kent Co. had been divided, with more than half of it becoming King & Queen Co. where Daniel Coleman2 made his home until he died.. It is extremely unlikely he was the father of Samuel Coleman of Gloucester Co.
Landon Bell’s "Old Free State, Lunenburg Co." says John Coleman2 had a wife named Ann and a son named Samuel. Until recently, very little was known about John Coleman2 other than he had two wives, Margaret and Ann (surnames unknown) and sons James, Richard and Samuel. An article printed in Coleman World, 97-1, p. 5, regarding John Coleman2 of Petsworth Parish was a major discovery affecting the Coleman family history.
The Coleman World article was reprinted from Family Puzzlers No. 1462, 26 Oct 1996, p. 4, describing an exchange of land between William Thornton Jr. and Francis Thornton of Petsworth Parish, Gloucester Co. VA and Ann Coleman Clarke and her son Richard Coleman of Hanover Co. VA. Ann and Richard, whose wife was Johannah, exchanged the Petsworth Parish land inherited from Ann’s late husband, John Coleman2, for land on the fork of the Pamunkey River in Hanover Co. As part of the exchange, Ann Clarke and Richard Coleman also received five slaves named Gloucester, David, Bess, Betty and Honor, owned by the Thorntons.
The article was evidence that John Coleman2 had left a will, although his will has since been lost as were so many other Gloucester Co. records. The reprinted article mentioned no will date, but John is believed to have died between 1709 and 1710. The last mention of John as a Churchwarden in the Petsworth Parish Vestry Book was on 5 Oct 1709. Ann Coleman’s last mention in the vestry records of that parish occurred on 26 Sep 1711. From the article mentioned above, we now know her second husband was John Clarke of Hanover Co. VA.
This evidence was very important in solving the puzzle of the Goochland Co. connection with the children of John Coleman2. At the time of their father’s death, Richard and Samuel would have been very young. While their older half-brother, James, may have lived in Hanover Co. for a few years, the younger boys would have been raised there. Hanover and Goochland Cos. border each other. This may explain how Samuel Coleman met and later married Ann Mourning Christian in 1731 Goochland Co.
Essex Co. Deed Book 18, p. 181, dated 8 Jun 1726 shows Richard Coleman giving his father-in-law, John Clarke of Hanover Co., 200 acres of land in Essex Co., part of "a tract of land which was patented in my father’s name, the patent specifieth 1200 acres........." From this deed, we know Richard married his stepsister, Johannah Clarke, and we know his father was the John Coleman who patented the 1200 acres of Essex Co. land. \(Jim Clayton of Burlington, NC has done extensive research on this Richard Coleman. Jim pointed out that the only patent grant of 1200 acres in 1704 was to a John Coleman.\)
John Coleman2 originally lived in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co. VA. His son James was baptized in that parish in 1693. Shortly after the birth of John’s son Richard, in 1702/3, John moved his family to Petsworth Parish. He was charged with 200 acres of land in that parish on the 1704 Rent Rolls. It is unknown if he retained ownership of the Abingdon Parish land, but he quite likely did because his son James appears to have lived in that parish at least until after the birth of his own son, John Coleman, in 1722. Son Richard inherited the Petsworth Parish land and the 1200 acre tract in Essex Co. (some of which became part of Caroline Co.\). In 1691, John Coleman2 also owned land in King & Queen Co., originally part of New Kent Co. \(His brothers Robert and Daniel also owned land in New Kent Co. which eventually became King & Queen Co.\) Who inherited his King & Queen Co. land after John Coleman’s death? The answer to this question is very important in the development of John’s line.
Several years ago, a second Daniel Coleman was identified who had apparently been lost in the family maze for years. The common use of the name Daniel, the tendency to name daughters "Grizzell", and cousins with the same name living in the same counties all combined to push some family members into obscurity. This is apparently what happened to the newly-discovered Daniel Coleman and his descendants.
The new Daniel (p. 786) should not be confused with his cousin Daniel Coleman (p. 476) whose wife has traditionally been given as Patience Elliott. This issue is muddled due to the land transactions in which the two Daniels were involved. Daniel Coleman and Patience Elliott lived in King William County until 1745 when Daniel bought 400 acres of land in Goochland Co. The 400 acre tract was in that part of Goochland that became Cumberland Co. in 1749. Daniel Coleman remained in Cumberland Co. until his death in 1769/70.
The newly-discovered Daniel Co.eman had a wife named Mary and a son named Daniel. They were living in Caroline Co. as early as 1733. Daniel was involved in several legal transactions and served on several juries. From other court actions, it was established that Daniel and Mary also had a daughter Grizzell who died in 1739. Grizzell owned 345 acres of land in Goochland Co. at the time of her death. Her father, named as Daniel Coleman, was administrator of her estate. \(Daniel Coleman and Patience Elliott had a daughter Grizzell who married William Edwards in 1750 Cumberland Co., eleven years after the Goochland Co. Grizzell Coleman died.)
It should be noted that the Grizzell Coleman who patented the Goochland Co. land may have been a son of Daniel and Mary, rather than a daughter. The name Grizzell, a Scottish form of "Grace", was usually given to daughters in this Mobjack Bay family, but it was not unusual to give a male child the maiden surname of his mother or grandmother. But it was also unusual for a daughter to patent land. Judge S.B. Coleman thought the patented 345 acres was made by direction of Grizzell’s father. Unfortunately, both legal transactions involving the administration of Grizzell’s estate were generic: "Daniel Coleman, father of said Grizzell". For purposes of this record, Grizzell will be referred to as a daughter.
Daniel and Mary Coleman were living in Goochland Co. in 1741, on the land inherited from their daughter Grizzell. In that year, Daniel also purchased 400 acres of Goochland Co. land from George and Martha Cox. It is important to remember that the other Daniel Coleman, whose wife was Patience, did not live in Goochland Co. until 1745.
For purposes of identifying the separate Goochland Co. Colemans, land deeds show that Daniel Coleman3 \(Daniel2 Robert1\) lived in St. James Southam Parish, Goochland Co. His cousins, Daniel3 and Samuel Coleman3 \(John2 Robert1), lived in St. James Northam Parish, Goochland Co. In 1744, that part of Goochland which lay on the north side of the James River was called St. James Northam./a>. That part of Goochland which lay on the south side of the James River was called St. James Southam./a>.
The discovery of this new Daniel with wife Mary was exciting, but opened the door to even more questions concerning his parentage. Thus began the process of elimination. With the exception of Daniel Coleman2 and John Coleman2, all of the children belonging to Robert Coleman1 and Elizabeth Grizzell were eliminated as the probable parent of the new Daniel. Although anything is possible in genealogy, it is unlikely that Daniel Coleman2 would have named two surviving sons Daniel.
That left only John Coleman2 as the probable father of the newly-discovered Daniel Coleman who lived in Caroline Co. in 1733. It also answers the question as to who inherited the King and Queen Co. land owned by John Coleman2 in 1691. Caroline Co. was formed in 1727/8 from Essex, King & Queen and King William Cos. From court records, we know Daniel was living in Caroline Co. in 1733, although he had probably settled on that land much earlier.
When Grizzell Coleman was granted 345 acres of Goochland Co. land in 1736, she would have been at least 21 years old, placing her birth year at approximately 1715. If her father Daniel2 was at least 20 years old at the time of her birth, his birth year would have been about 1695. The baptism date of James Coleman3, son of John Coleman2 and his first wife Margaret, was 1693. Daniel not only fits comfortably into the line of John Coleman2, he may even have been older than James. There are no entries in the Abingdon Parish Register for the years 1691 or 1692.
For purposes of this record, John Coleman2 had at least two sons by his first wife Margaret: James and Daniel. By his second wife, Ann, he had sons Richard and Samuel.
The theory of the newly-discovered Daniel Coleman3 being a son of John Coleman2 is important in placing Julius Coleman. Just as there were two Daniel Colemans of the same approximate age, owning land in several "same" counties, there were two Julius Colemans. Fortunately, the existence of separate family Bibles has made the task of identifying the two Julius’ much easier. The two lines are:
Julius5 James4 Daniel3 Daniel2 Robert1 \(Family Bible held by the Edmund Pendleton Chapter DAR, Falmouth, KY\)
Julius5 Daniel4 Daniel3 John2 Robert1 \(Family Bible held by James M. Anderson Jr. of Enonville, VA\)
Julius Coleman (p. 487) of the James4 Daniel3 Daniel2 Robert1 line was born in 1745 in Caroline Co. VA, and died in 1824, Licking Co. OH. In 1773, he married Elizabeth Chiles. Judge S.B. Coleman was unaware that there were two Julius Coleman’s and thought that this was the Julius who had married Elizabeth Coleman. After serving in the American Revolution, Julius was given 4000-1/4 acres of land in Pendleton Co. KY for his service. In 1801, Julius sold his Virginia land and moved to Kentucky. He and Elizabeth named their children Elizabeth, Thomas, James, Daniel and Mary K.
His cousin Julius Coleman (p. 798) of the Daniel4 Daniel3 John2 Robert1 line was born in 1743 and died in 1842 at the age of 99 in Buckingham Co. VA. In 1789, he married Elizabeth Coleman, daughter of James Coleman and Anna Cocke (p. 484). Julius lived all his life in what became Buckingham Co. Julius and Elizabeth named their children Anna, Daniel, Martha, Eliji, Sally, Guilelmus, Augustus, Judith, Mary Ann and Julius.
Although there is no proof that Julius Coleman of Buckingham Co. is descended from the newly-discovered Daniel Coleman3, the 345 acres of Goochland Co. land patented by Grizzell Coleman, and later in the possession of Daniel Coleman3, eventually became Cumberland and Buckingham Cos. It is referred to in an old Buckingham Plat Book as the "old Grifsel Coleman" tract of land. In the family Bible, Daniel Coleman (son of Julius and Elizabeth\) is listed as "Daniel Jr." (1792-1825). Daniel Sr. died in 1821 (family Bible\) and would have been Daniel Coleman4, son of the newly-discovered Daniel Coleman3 and wife Mary. The firstborn of Julius and Elizabeth was "Anna", named after Elizabeth’s mother, Anna Cocke, who married James Coleman. The second child of Julius and Elizabeth was named "Daniel Jr." after Julius’ father.
For this record, and until evidence proves otherwise, Julius Coleman (1743-1842) will be placed as a descendant of the newly-discovered Daniel Coleman and his wife Mary.
Son of Robert Coleman/Elizabeth Grizzell
(6) JOHN COLEMAN of Gloucester Co. \(Abingdon and Petsworth Parishes\)
b. ca. 1665
d. between 5 Oct 1709 and 4 Oct 1710
John lived in Abingdon Parish until shortly after the birth of his son Richard in 1702/3. John then moved the family to Petsworth Parish where he was charged with 200 acres on the 1704/5 Rent Rolls. (Records of Colonial Gloucester Co. VA, p. 86, Polly Cary Mason\)
John’s 200 acre plantation in Petsworth Parish was on Bennet’s Creek. His will devised the land to his wife Ann for her lifetime, then to pass to his son Richard and his heirs. (Family Puzzlers, #1462, 26 Oct 1996, p. 4, reprinted in Coleman World #97-1, pp. 5,6)
On 26 Apr 1704, John Coleman was granted 1200 acres on the south side of Tappahannock River in Essex Co. VA near Occupacia Creek, for transporting 24 persons into the colony. \(Pat. Bk. 9, p. 597) Extensive research by Jim Clayton of Burlington, NC revealed that of the original 1200 acres, 893 were eventually in Essex and King & Queen Cos., with the remaining 307 acres in Caroline Co. The 1200 acres patented by John Coleman in Essex were part of the Old Rappahannock lands adjoining Richard Coleman’s "Settlement" patent. Richard Coleman was granted 1300 acres in 1652 and later relinquished all but 100 acres of it in favor of other land. \(See p. 39, #14)
John Coleman was mentioned in the Petsworth Parish Vestry Book on 6 Oct 1708 and again on 5 Oct 1709. By 1709, he was a Churchwarden of Poplar Spring Church. He and John Royston were ordered to collect from every tithable person in the Parish 30 lbs. of tobacco as the annual Parish levy. The last mention of John Coleman in the Petsworth Parish Vestry Book was on 5 Oct 1709, for a meeting of the Vestry (Petsworth Parish Vestry Book transcribed by C.G. Chamberlayne, 1933, pp. 46, 96, 101, 108) At the next Vestry meeting, on 4 Oct 1710, there is no mention of John.
On 26 Sep 1711, Mrs. Ann Coleman is listed in the Vestry Book as owed 1319 lbs. tobacco for "keeping William Bowels \(Bowles\) and 3 quarts of Clarrit". The rate for keeping someone per year was 1000 lbs. After that date, Ann does not again appear in the records of Petsworth Parish.
Ann Coleman married 2nd, John Clarke of Hanover Co. VA. John Clarke’s daughter, Johannah, became the wife of her stepbrother, Richard Coleman, son of John and Ann.
In the 10 Aug 1726 will of William Thornton of Petsworth Parish, he left 256 acres of Hanover Co. land, on the fork of the Pamunkey River, to his son William Thornton Jr. , and the rest of 1350 acres to his four other sons. On 13 Feb 1730, a four-part agreement between John and Ann \(Coleman\) Clarke, Richard Coleman, William Thornton and Francis Thornton, the 256 acres of Hanover Co. land was exchanged for the Petsworth Parish land devised by John Coleman to his wife Ann, then to their son Richard and his heirs.
The 1704/5 Petsworth Parish Rent Roll shows William Thornton Sr. with 525 acres, and William Thornton Jr. with 800 acres. The Rent Roll for that year also shows John Clarke with 100 acres.

(10 Jun 1727, p. 425): Dick, a negro boy belonging to Daniel Coleman, is adjudged 13 years of age. Years later, Daniel was on the Goochland Co. Tithe List with negroes Dick and Sue. (8 Jul 1737, p. 434): Daniel served on a jury with cousin (5)2186 Thomas Coleman in the case of Joseph Bickley Jr. against Richard Bradford. (8 Jul 1737, p. 438): Daniel Coleman and Mary his wife, being examined, acknowledge a deed to Benjamin Walker and the same is admitted to record. (12 Aug 1737, p. 440): Daniel Coleman and Mary his wife acknowledged their deeds of lease and release indented to Benjamin Walker.

On the same date and page number, Daniel acknowledged his deed of land indented to James Coleman. This was 405 acres Daniel sold to his cousin (5)2190 James Coleman on 8 Feb 1737, found in Caroline Loose Papers, Call #22656, Virginia State Library.
(14 Mar 1739, p. 588): Daniel Coleman served on a jury in the trespass case of Thomas Fox against Peyton Smith. On the same date, he was a juror in the trespass, assault and battery case of Timothy Ellis against Henry Burk. In both cases, jurors found for the plaintiff. Goochland Co.

From Essex Co. Deed Book 18, p. 181: "I, Richard Coleman./a> of the County of Essex in St. Mary’s Parish, do give unto my Father-in-law John Clarke 200 acres of land during his natural life quietly and peaceably to enjoy the same, it being a part of a tract of land which the patent specifieth was pattened in my father’s name, the pattent specifieth 1200 acres and the said John Clarke is to have the said 200 acres where he shall make choice of as witness my hand this 8th day of June 1726", in presence of John Scott, Robert Coleman, James Richeson. Signed by Richard Coleman.
The only Essex Co. single patent of 1200 acres recorded to a Coleman was to John Coleman in 1704. A John May grant \(Pat. Bk. 9, p. 619) adjoining the Coleman 1200 acre tract further verifies it as being near Occupacia Creek.
Richard Coleman is listed as "of Essex Co." in the deeds from Book 18, but on page 115 of Deed Book 19, on 20 Apr 1730, he states he is from "Gloster County".
Richard was a Tidewater merchant, dealing in tobacco. He acquired property in St. Martin’s Parish, Hanover Co., near Daniel and Ann Clayton. \(Hanover Co. Pat. Bk. 23, p. 709, Pat. Bk. 31, p. 93) Ann Clayton was probably Ann Clarke before her marriage, a daughter of John Clarke and sister of Johannah.
From Essex Co. DB 19, pp. 399, 400 – 19 Mar 1732: "Know all men by these presents yt I Johannah Coleman, wife of Richard Coleman of ye County of Hannover in St. Martins Parrish doe Constitute & apoint Mr. Edmun Booker of ye County of Essex in St. Anns Parrish my true and lawfull Attorney to acknowledge my right of Dower to Mr. Nathaniell Fog ye said land being in Essex County & my husband Richard Coleman acknowledged ye same to ye said For & whereas I did not then acknowledge my right of Dower which I have in ye said land therefore I doe by this instrument of righting impower my frend Mr. Edmun Booker to acknowledge ye said land to Mr. Nathaniell Fog notifieing & confirmeing wt. my said Attorney shall doe. In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand & Seale this 19th day of March 1732......"
In 1738, Richard was appointed Surveyor of Caroline Co. In 1739, in the Caroline Co. court, Richard was accused of adultery with Margaret Straughn Clark. The court ordered a forty-pound bond "not to meet for a year and a day". On 14 Mar 1739/40, "Richard Coleman./a> acknowledges himself indebted to the Churchwardens of St. Mary’s Parish in the sum of L40 current money to be levied in case Margaret Clark, wife of John Clark at any time during her natural life become chargeable to the parish". \(Caroline Co. OB 1732-40, part 3, 1737-40, p. 586) In 1744 Caroline Co. Court, Margaret Clark was granted separate maintenance from John Clark, despite having been convicted five years earlier of adultery with Richard Coleman. (Colonial Caroline by T.E. Campbell\)
\\(DB18, 21 Jun 1726): Richard Coleman was granted permission to run an Ordinary \(John Clark, surety). Spilsbe Coleman (2)289 was later granted the license for the Ordinary. After his death, the license was granted to his wife Mary \(Crow\) Coleman. (DB18, p. 212, 16 Aug 1726): Richard Coleman, of St. Ann’s Parish, sold 150 acres to Edmund Booker for L45, and 50 acres to Francis Graves. Witnesses: Richard Billings, James Slocumb and Francis Slaughter. (26 Aug 1727): Richard Coleman, in Drysdale Parish, King & Queen Co., sold 100 acres to James Jameson of St. Ann’s Parish, Essex Co. for L22.1, land lying in Drysdale Parish, King & Queen Co. Witnesses: John Vawter, Edmund Booker, David Vawter. \(DB19, p. 117, 20 Apr 1730): Richard Coleman "of Gloster Co." sold a parcel of land for L50 containing 293 acres plus 91 poles in Essex Co. to Nathaniel Fogg of said Essex. The land was by a swamp known as Muddy Branch \(King & Queen Co.\), by a branch of Cockleshell Creek \(Essex Co.\) bounded by Francis Graves and Mrs. Ann Thacker. Richard’s wife Johannah agreed to relinquish her right of dower and appear in Essex Court when required. Witnesses: John Vawter, Robert Parker, Salvator Muscoe, Dr. Mungo Roy. \(Note: A pole is a unit of measure equaling one square rod. The land Richard sold was 293 acres, plus 91 square rods. An acre contains 160 square rods, so the parcel was 293 acres plus less than an acre.)
Johannah may have died by 1753, the year Richard and his children left Virginia and moved to St. John’s Parish of Old Granville Co., NC. There are no records of Johannah in NC. The date of Richard’s second marriage to widow Mary Webb is unknown. A deed on 27 May 1783 mentions Richard Coleman, William Webb Sr. and Mary Coleman as witnesses to land "on the Second Broad River". Richard remained in Old Granville Co. for about fifteen years. During those years, his land became part of Bute Co. and later Warren Co.
One of Richard Coleman’s closest friends was James Payne \(Paine\) who had settled in Old Granville Co. by 1743. In 1767, James Payne moved west, to Orange Co. NC. Not long after, Richard Coleman also moved to Orange Co. NC, settling close to James Payne’s land. Richard’s land in Orange Co. became Caswell Co., then Person Co. NC. Richard’s daughters, Elizabeth and Sarah, with their husbands and families, also moved with him. Richard's sons, John and Richard, moved to Orange Co. and bought land near their sisters, at Allenville. About 1775, Richard Coleman moved to what became Rutherford Co. NC, where he lived until his death in 1791.

Ann, born 1712 and died 1766, was a daughter of Thomas Christian and Rebecca New. On 17 May 1737, the will of Thomas Christian was probated and mentions his daughter Ann Coleman. \(Goochland Co. WB3, p. 32) The will of Samuel Coleman names wife Ann, sons James, Samuel, John and Daniel. Executors were Ann Coleman and Jacob Oglesby. Witnesses were Robert Woodson, Jno. Wright and John Prior.
From the Petsworth Parish Vestry Book, Gloucester Co. VA 1677-1793, p. 213: 3 Feb 1728 An indenture between Samuel Coleman./a> and the Churchwardens to bind out the son of Mary Nettles, 14 yr. old George Nettles, to Samuel Coleman. Samuel and his heirs were obliged to give George Nettles three years of schooling or to "carefully teach" that he may read perfectly in the Bible. They were also to provide him with sufficient meat, drink, washing, lodging and apparel, and to teach him a trade or business so that he did not become a burden on the Parish. It is interesting to note that the 1728 indenture was for a period of three years, and Samuel married Ann Mourning Christian in 1731, three years after the initial indenture.
In 1729, the first Goochland Co. court record of Samuel Coleman is made. In OB II, p. 112 "Samuel Coleman vs. Constantine Ladd". The earliest record of Samuel owning land occurred on 17 Jul 1731, the day of his marriage, when Thomas Christian deeded 175 acres to Samuel on Beaverdam Creek. \(DB2, p. 263, Goochland Co. Records\) The deed was witnessed by Robert Christian, John Cox and John Coleman. (11 Apr 1732, p. 407): William Mills, 400 acres Goochland Co. on brs. of Licking Hole Creek, adjacent Samuel Coleman and Henry Chiles. 40 shill.
Thomas Christian gave his son James a 210 acre plantation bounded by Samuel Coleman and Nebuch Adams. (19 May 1735): Samuel Coleman witnessed a sale by Edward Scott and Stephen Hughes to Nicholas Cox. (17 Feb 1735): Samuel Coleman witnessed a sale by William Mills to William Chambers. (6 Jun 1736): Land sold by William Mills to James Walker was bounded by Samuel Coleman’s land.
\(DB3, p. 554): Jacob Oglesby, wife Constant, of St. James Parish, to Samuel Coleman, same, 67 acres on south side of Beaver Dam Creek, next to Samuel Coleman’s land. \(DB5, p. 117, Goochland Co. Records, 12 May 1746): Samuel Coleman and Daniel Coleman were witnesses to a deed from John Woodson to James Mundette.
On the 10 Jun 1746 Goochland Co. tithe list, Samuel is listed with son James and slaves named Peter, Phillis and Nancy. In 1755, his wife Ann owned slaves named Peter, Tom, Ben and Phillis. In 1760, their son Daniel paid the tithe on those same slaves.

Ann Mourning Coleman was listed in the St. James Northam Parish Vestry Book in 1758 for "keeping Rachel Gavin", in 1759 through 1764 for "keeping Mrs. Gavin", and in 1761 for "keeping David Clark\(e\) for five months.

Rebecca Coleman died 1793/taxes, 1794/estate in Buckingham Co. VA. In a deposition taken at the home of Sarah Burkes on the James River in Buckingham Co., 29 Aug 1792, Rebecca stated that she was the widow of John Coleman and that he had built a mill on the land of Jeremiah Whitney./a> 40 years ago (ca. 1752). She also stated that James Christian was the heir-at-law of his mother, Susannah Whitney Christian. The suit was tried in Prince Edward Co. in which James Christian sued to gain property as an heir of his mother, Susannah Christian, daughter of Jeremiah Whitney. \(Prince Edward District Court, Reel 19, p. 69)
On 4 Sep 1760 \(Henrico, Albemarle\) Susannah Christian, widow of James Christian who owned 200 acres of land on the north side of Fluvanna, sold her dower to James Dillard for L40. Witnesses: John Coleman Sr., William Gilliam.
John Coleman died by 1782, for in that year Rebecca is shown with six slaves on the Buckingham Co. tax list. From 1782 to 1789, Rebecca is on the tax list with 80 acres. In 1790, her sons Jesse and Thomas each gave her 10 acres. From 1790 until her death in 1793, Rebecca is on the tax list with 100 acres. That same year of 1793 is the last year Jesse and Thomas are on the list.

d. 1739, unmarried
On 17 Mar 1736 \(Land Pat. Bk. 17, p. 295), Grizzell Coleman was granted 345 acres of land in Goochland Co. on both sides of Little Buffalo Creek, a branch of Willis River. Court Record 19 Feb 1739: "By court order of 18th this instant, we met on lands of Grizzell Coleman and appraised the following laid before us by Daniel Coleman./a>, father to said Grizzell, items valued at 74 pounds." /s/ J. Terry, Thomas Harvey, Henry Terry. 2 Dec 1739. DB2, p. 264, Goochland Co. Records, 24 Dec 1739: Inventory of Grissell Coleman’s property. Daniel Coleman is referred to as her father who would administer her estate. The L74 appraisal of her estate consisted of eight penny nails, two horses, a saddle and bridle, and "sundry articles". The appraisers found a negro male clearing land and breaking ground for the planting of "divers fruit trees". This may have been the negro Dick, belonging to Daniel Coleman. In a small clearing was a wheat patch and the framework of a 12’ x 24’ house. \(The 345 acres of Goochland Co. land Daniel inherited from Grizzell later became Cumberland and Buckingham Cos.\)

The 10 Jun 1746 Goochland Co. Tithe List has "Thomas Coleman Sr., slaves Ned, Joe, Easter, Jeff and Jane, and "Daniel Coleman Sr.". The tax list is evidence that Thomas was married in 1746 and had a son, Thomas Jr. The Daniel Coleman Sr. living with Thomas was his father Daniel. Thomas’ mother Mary was deceased by then. Thomas’ brother Daniel was also married and had at least one son, Julius Coleman.

Elizabeth, born 15 Jul 1771 and died 1 May 1858 (11:00am Sunday\), was a daughter of James Coleman and Anna Cocke.
Julius lived all his life in what became Buckingham Co. VA. In 1780, Julius was assessed as owning one tithe, two horses, no slaves or cattle on the Buckingham Co. Personal Property tax list. In 1784 and 1785, he owned three horses. In 1798, Julius paid taxes on four slaves and three horses. In 1811, Julius was taxed for ten slaves and ten horses. On the 1840 Buckingham Co. census, Julius’ household consisted of 50 persons: 5 white males, 4 white females, 16 male slaves and 25 female slaves.
Julius owned 200 acres on the eastern border of the county, adjoining Cumberland Co. Payne’s Creek was his specific residence. Payne’s Creek was a tributary of the Willis River and flows from Buckingham into Cumberland Co. In 1806, Julius purchased an additional 163 acres of Buckingham Co. land from Samuel Allen.
In the Buckingham Co. Court session of May 1788, "Julius Coleman, assignee of Permines Coleman, Plaintiff, against John and Robert Nowell, Defendants, sued for L44". \\(OB 16, p. 150) During the same court session, Julius Coleman sued John and Robert Nowell for debt of L15, 13 shillings, 7 pence. (OB 16, p. 192)
In February 1794, Julius was paid 30 cents for travel and attendance to be a witness for George Anderson in the Cumberland Court, for one day. The distance from the courthouse to Julius’ home was specified as 10 miles.
Cumberland Co. Court Order Book 35, p. 453 on 23 Oct 1832: "This day, Julius Coleman a Revolutionary Soldier, came into court and made a Declaration of his Services upon oath to entitle him to the provisions of the act of Congress passed 7th June 1832 which said original Declaration is ordered to be certified to the Secretary of War." No record has been found to show Julius Coleman applied for a pension.

By September of 1835, Mary had married Jacob Hearn who petitioned the court to grant Mary her dower rights in the land and slaves. A lawsuit was filed against Jacob and Mary Hearn by James T. Dillon and wife Emily Jane Coleman who was the guardian of her brothers and sisters. \(Book 16, p. 217, August 1837, Warren Co.
