     CHAPTER 23

     A COMPILATION OF GENEALOGY ON THE
     ROBERT COLEMAN FAMILY OF SOUTH
     CAROLINA

     by MRS. ETTA ROSSON

     Along with Cousin Jennie I. Coleman and Donald B. Clayton none has
     been more industrious or effective in the preservation of the
     family genealogy than Mrs. Etta Rosson, formerly of Shelton,
     but now of Columbia, South Carolina. 
        About 1950, Mrs. Rosson completed a book on Coleman-Feaster-
     Mobley Genealogy which was deposited in the DAR Library in
     Washington. The following pages are entirely her handiwork, the
     product of long and diligent labor. Much of the information
     appearing in her DAR book appears in the pages preceding and is not
     here included simply to avoid duplication. 

        We wish to give her full credit for the wonderful contribution
     she has made to this book.

     Dear Son:

        I take the present favorable opportunity to write to you a line
     in way of remembrance, as I have not had a letter from you for a
     great while, and inform you that your Father is still living and in
     good health.  (Blessed be God for his mercies). Hoping that you and
     your family are all well. I.htm#N018678">I believe I have not wrote to you since
     the death of your brother Wiley. His widow and children are well,
     and I think are likely to do well. They are very industrious and
     your namesake, Wilson, is much so. Wiley had but a very short
     sickness, from Thursday until Tuesday.  He was doing very well. I
     think it was the excessive cold was the cause of his death. I am
     certain I have never experienced so cold a winter. Our wheat crops
     are greatly injured, and great many entirely ruined. All the fig
     trees and chaney trees are killed. The figs will spring up again,
     but the chaney will not. Our prospects for corn and cotton is very
     good at this time. The seasons have been very good so far. Your
     brothers and their families are all well except Chany, Henry's
     wife. She has had a long spell of sickness that has seemed to
     threaten insanity, hut is getting better.  Isabella and her
     family are well. We expect Isaac and Betty to see us in July. They
     were all well when we last heard from them. I am in the 71st year
     of my age. I.htm#N018703">I am nearly as strong as I ever was, but not so active.

     2. COLONEL JOSEPH RAGSDALE COLEMAN, of South Carolina State
     Militia, son of Wylie Roe Coleman and Sarah Ragsdale (Ragsdell),
     was born June 2, 1803, died June 16, 1859, and married February 5,
     1824, Juliana Banks (Majoribanks), born March 11, 1804, died
     December 21, 1871. Both are buried at Fellowship Church Cemetery,
     near Woodward, South Carolina. Lived East of Blackstock, but
     attended Church at Fellowship (near the Samuel Moberley, Jr., home).
        It is said that Joseph was not a church member, but was inclined
     to the Baptist, so Juliana, who was Scotch Presbyterian, told him
     she would join with him, if he would join the church, so Baptists
     they became. There was no Baptist Church near, so they would go
     down on Saturday and spend the night with the Moberleys, and
     drive home Sunday afternoon.  They were both big and fat and had a
     buggy specially made, to which they drove two horses. 
        Joseph Ragsdale Coleman was evidently an officer in the State
     Militia. They had musters, and were taught to drill, etc. Some of
     his commissions, dating back to the 1830's, are in possession of
     Mrs. J. W.  Starnes, Ridgeway, South Carolina. 
        The inscriptions on the graves of this couple, at Fellowship
     Cemetery, are as follows:

        "Sacred to the memory of Colonel J. R. Coleman, who was born
        June 3, 1803. Passed away June 16, 1859, aged 56 years and 13
        days."

        "Sacred to the memory of Mrs. J. R. Coleman." (Stone broken
        and dates destroyed)

     There were eight children, as follows:

           Henry Jonathan Coleman and Mary Feaster). Essie and Henry

        Dr. Henry Allen Coleman and Harriett Matilda Coleman also had a
     son, who died as a child. 

        Essie Coleman (Mrs. Henry Lee Coleman), daughter of Henry Allen
     Coleman and Harriett Matilda Coleman, writes:

        "My mother's father bought the John Roseborough place in Ridge-
     way, bringing his bride, Acsaneth Davis, to it. He built the brick
     house with the labor of his slaves, about the time the railroad was
     put through Ridgeway, giving a right-of-way between him and Colonel
     Davis, who owned the opposite hill.  Bricks were made near the
     spring, and my mother said it was a beautiful sight at night when
     they were fired."

        ZEVEABLE COLEMAN, 12th child of Robert Coleman and Elizabeth
     Roe, was born November 28, 1789, and died very young. Is buried

       6. Sarah Edith Coleman, born February 29,1856, died November 3,
          1930.

        John Feaster Coleman and Sallie Gladden were cousins, and her
     parents objected to the marriage for that reason. They fell in love
     when very young. Sallie told her parents she would wait until she
     was twenty-one years old, and if she still felt the same way, they
     would marry then.  They waited, and married. Two weeks before the
     last child was born, he died of typhoid fever, and Sallie was so
     grieved that she had no desire nor will to live. Her family tried
     to persuade her that she should live for the sake of her children,
     but she died April 8, 1856. They were second cousins, lived at
     Feasterville, and are buried at the Feaster Cemetery.  Little Sarah
     Edith Coleman was little more than one month old, was taken and
     raised by her grandparents, Mary Feaster and Henry Jonathan
     Coleman, Sr. She was a great pleasure to them, as well as her
     Uncle, George W. Coleman. In 1857 or 1858, she was carried by them
     to Preston, Georgia, to visit Sarah Caroline Coleman Mitchell,
     her mother's

     sister "Mammy," as the grandmother Mary (Polly) was called by the
     grandchildren, was in good health, Edith was a beautiful plump,
     sweet baby. Sarah Mitchell's first baby, Ella, was a sweet baby,
     but very frail.  All enjoyed so much being together. 
        Sallie Gladden Coleman, knowing she would die, had "willed" her
     fourth child, Mary Rebecca Coleman, to her sister, Sarah Caroline
     Coleman. The latter was then engaged to marry Beverly C. Mitchell. 
     When her sister-in-law died, leaving her the child, she told Mr.
     Mitchell she had been asked to take the child, and if it did not
     suit him, she would release him from their engagement. He replied
     that he did not want to be released, "She will be our little girl,"
     and so they were married, and raised the child as their own. Mr.
     Mitchell had a nice home, and was kind to all.

          Hodge, in Louisiana, and had two children:

          k. Virgil Preston Coleman. Single.

     Annie Julia Lonergan Coleman was born in Memphis, Tennessee.
     She was greatly beloved by her step-children, they feeling toward
     her as if their own mother.

     Captain E. J. Means organized Buckhead Guards. Henry Jonathan
     Coleman, Jr., Allen Griffin Coleman, and George Washington Coleman
     joined at Buckhead, South Carolina, the 6th South Carolina
     Regiment.  Left for Charleston April 11, 1861. Were there at the
     firing on Fort Sumter. They volunteered for ninety days. After the
     expiration of the ninety days, came to Summerville, South Carolina,
     to reorganize. Allen Griffin Coleman and George W. Coleman,
     brothers, volunteered again for twelve months. Served that time,
     then reorganized at Orange Court House, Virginia. Boykin Lyles
     was made Captain. Volunteered for three years, or until the end of
     the War. Allen and George W. Coleman served in that Regiment until
     the Battle of Malvern Hill, then swapped with two men to go to the
     17th (and then to the 6th South Carolina Regiment) under Captain
     Preston Coleman's (brother of Allen and George W. Coleman)
     Regiment. John Hugh Means was Colonel of that Regiment (17th).

FAMILY

     Lieutenant B. Frank Coleman was taken sick when there only
     fifteen days, and died. Is buried at Cranes Chapel (or Stones
     Chapel), a little church at Brucetown, Virginia. Allen G. Coleman
     was killed on battlefield at Petersburg, Virginia. Was shot one day
     and died the next.  He is buried in cemetery at Petersburg,
     Virginia. Henry Jonathan Coleman, Jr. was captured at Fort
     Steadman. George W. Coleman was with his company and served until
     April 1, 1865, was captured at Five Forks, Virginia, then carried
     to Point Lookout, Maryland, and put in prison. Was paroled, came
     home, reaching South Carolina July 4, 1865.

     Elizabeth Coleman, second daughter of D. R. Coleman, should cer-
     tainly be given mention as a pioneer. She married Isaac Nolen and
     moved to Indian Springs, Georgia. After her marriage she rode from
     her father's to Indian Springs on horseback, there being no
     railroads in those days, and very poor dirt roads--a horseback ride
     of 300 miles. She became the mother of ten children, and at the age
     of eighty years was living in Smith County, Texas. Truly a pioneer
     woman!

                 DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM COLEMAN
                (BROTHER OF ROBERT AND CHARLES)

     WILLIAM COLEMAN, married Nancy Butler. He died about 1825 or
     1830. Purchased land from Robert Coleman, his brother, a part of
     the original grant from the King, and some of same was owned by his
     descendants up to about 1906. The family graveyard is in a clump of
     cedars on hill near the house place. Their children were:
       1. William Coleman.

     THE ROBERT COLEMAN FAMILY

       2. Solomon, died about 1863, married Betty Elam, of Chester
       County, sister of Nancy Elam, wife of Wylie F. Coleman.
       3. Elizabeth, married John Butler.
       4. Abner Coleman.
       5. John (called Major John), married Polly Rainey.

     All the land came to be owned by Solomon Coleman and Major john
     Coleman. The former owned the part joining Mrs. Jennie I. Coleman's
     place on the East, and lived in the house that John A. F. Coleman
     ("Farmer John") lived in in 1904, he buying the land from Harry D.
     Coleman.

       2. Solomon Coleman and Betty Elam had the following children:
       1. William Coleman, married Drucilla (Drucie) Coleman, daugh-
          ter of Susan Feaster and Robert Fitz Coleman. She was born
          1812. William Coleman moved to Randolph County, Georgia.
          and had several daughters, and only one son, Henry, who lived
          at the old place. William was a member of the Legislature of
          (Georgia in 1873. "I (Jennie I. Coleman's note) saw him in
          Atlanta then. He was a large man, of pleasant manners. Was
          an ardent Universalist, built a church himself on his place,
          and had a Convention meet there. Was called "Judge Cole-
          man." The Confederate War coming on reduced his property,
          causing changes that crippled the growth of Universalism every-
          where in the South. He and his family went into Spiritualism,
          and were very happy in the belief. His son, Henry, had one
          son, I believe. Several of the daughters never married."
       2. Martin Coleman, married Eliza Coleman, another daughter of
          Susan and Robert Fitz Coleman. Martin died within a few
          months after marrying, and his widow married (2nd) James
          Brannon, (3rd) John Q. Arnette, (4th) Wesley Mayfield.
       3. Isaac Coleman, born 1812, married Judith McShan, born 1815,
          a niece of John Feaster (son of Andrew Feaster and Margaret
          Fry Cooper). They went to Louisiana and lived there many
          years. Had two sons, neither married. The daughter, Nelly,
          came back here and married William Tucker, of Union County.
          He had considerable property. She had two daughters, Mrs.
          Clara Fant, and Ada (can't recall her married name). One son,
          William, did not marry. Daughter Nannie married William Je-
          ter, and Lou married John Jeter (cousins), of Union County,
          South Carolina. They also were men of property at the time.

                                                       THE ROBERT COLEMAN
FAMILY

          The three daughters thus marrying and settling in Union
          County, South Carolina, the parents, lsaac and Judith Cole-
          man, came back from Louisiana to live with them, and died
          there a good many years ago. They, too, were Universalists.
          Nannie left three sons, Dr. Iranus, Clarence and Tom, and one
          daughter, Eva, who married Paul Jeter. They live near Car-
          lisle, South Carolina. The sons married, too. Louella and Adella
          were twin daughters, so much alike their friends could not tell
          them apart. Louella, married Jeter, had one son, Isaac Cole-
          man Jeter. Adelle married a native of Vermont, Colonel
          Twitchell, went North and died, leaving one son, Isaac Cole-
          man, of whom we know nothing.
            Judith McShand was daughter of Alice Feaster (daughter
          of Andrew Feaster, Sr.), and Hundley McShand.
       4. Iley Coleman, living in 1863, married a lady of Charleston.
          He was a lawyer in Memphis, Tennessee. For some unknown
          cause he killed himself by jumping in a well. In 1863, he (Iley)
          was in Memphis, Tennessee. (See Estate Settlement of Solo-
          mon Coleman, Fairfield County, South Carolina, records).
       5. Mary (Polly), the only daughter, married her cousin, Wylie W.
         Coleman, and they moved to Winston County, Mississippi. (He
         was son of Wylie Coleman). Had one son:
           1. Mortimer, lived at Winston County, Mississippi. Was a
           member of the Universalist Church there, a man of con-
           siderable wealth, and a member of the Legislature. Had
           no children.
     3. Elizabeth Coleman, daughter of William Coleman and Nancy But
        ler, married John Butler, and had one son.
         1. Martin Butler.

     5. John ("Major John") Coleman, son of William Coleman and
        Nancy Butler, married Polly Rainey. He owned the land called
        the "Reuben," Johnny Major, and Nancy Ed tracts. His descend-
        ants have died out of this vicinity. One grandson lived near Fair-
        burn, Georgia, and had several sons, but we know nothing of them.

     Solomon Coleman, died about 1863, left an estate of $25,000. His
     house was still in use in 1906, always known as the "Solomon
     House." His place was bought by Henry Alexander Coleman, and in the
     division of his estate, the Solomon farm fell to "Aunt Aisa
     Manning," of Georgia,

     THE ROBERT COLEMAN FAMILY

     who got the rent from it till her death. Then her daughter,
     Cornelia, inherited it. She sold it to Harry David Coleman.  He
     lived on it in the old house, making good crops on the old land for
     several years, then sold to John A. F. Coleman. He did well there
     for two years.

     Solomon Coleman was considered a queer kind of man, but above
     the average. He married Betty Elam and raised a large family--very
     tall, large men were his sons.
