May 1, 1753. Dinwiddie County formed from Prince George. The
Coleman's then lived in this area and were thereafter in
Dinwiddle County.
November 9, 1756. Robert Coleman receives patent from Lord
Granville for 157 acres of land in Edgecombe County, North
Carolina (later Halifax County).
FROM THE DIARY OF MRS. JENNIE I. COLEMAN
I will begin first with the Coleman's.
They came from Wales to Virginia. I do not know how long ago.
They moved into North Carolina, Hallifax County, From which they
came to this neighborhood in 1775. There was a large family of
them, but I know of only three brothers, Robert, William, and
Charles. They soon acquired large tracts of land. Robert, I
imagine, was the eldest, and he bought up land that had been
granted by King George in 1772 to William Mazyck, also to Joseph
Verree, and John Winn, on the headwaters of Beaver Creek. He
settled on uncleared land in a quarter of a mile of this home,
and lived and died within a mile of the first settlement. He
must have had money to have so soon acquired the large area
around him. He must have been a man of strong character, and
industrious, thrifty habits. His descendants generally have
these characteristics, preferring a plain style of
living,abhorring show of any kind.
He was Major in the British Army [we have found no documentary
proof of this), and I do not know whether he changed before the
close of the Revolution. His sons were Whigs. We have a coat of
his, in good state of preservation, homespun woven, and made
over a hundred years ago.
