Descendants of Robert Coleman of Nansemond County Virginia 1684-1930

Appendix G:  Stephen Coleman of Halifax County, North Carolina

In January 2003, I provided information on a Stephen Coleman born in Fairfield County, SC who relocated to Limestone County, Alabama. For now, what is known is that another researcher, Doris Jean Elam Ragan, has provided information shown here.

From Ancestor charts of the Lincoln County Genealogical Society, we have recorded one Steven Coleman, born 27 Oct 1786 SC who died 19 Apr 1873 in Lincoln Co., TN.  Stephen Coleman married Rhoda Unknown, born 19 Nov 1788 in NC, who died 18 Apr 1871 in Limestone Co., AL.  Steven Coleman was son of Robert Coleman and Susannah Unknown.  [O'Neal, 2000]

Lincoln County, TN and Limestone County, AL lie adjacent on the TN/AL state line as does the town of Ardmore that is in both counties.  The area is very near where this author made his home from 1990 to 2000.  The land is gentle rolling hills.  Today one will find fruit orchards along the highway running East-West through Limestone County, AL.  True to its name, one will also find lots of limestone underlieing the soil in the area and outcropping on the hillsides, occasionally forming a bluff around streams and gullies.  Lincoln County, TN has some stream beds that washed clear of mud with a bed of limestone and chert gravel and stones.  Beautiful streams flow in the area where the stream bed is flat limestone, a sedimentary rock that is first white, but readily stained differing shades of red, rust, and gray by any minerals or other contaminants.

(6) Stephen Coleman appears in the U.S. Census Records in 1810 in Fairfield County, SC and in 1820, 30, 40, and 50 in Lincoln County, TN.  The above information was provided by O'Neal on the Lincoln County Genealogy List February 14, 2000 in response to the query from Alicia Mason, who wrote:

I am interested in Stephen Coleman born born Oct.27 Fairfield CO. SC.  He is on the Lincoln CO TN census 1820,1830, 1840, and 1850, Died April 19,1873 TN.  Alicia

Stephen Coleman was born 10/27/1786 and died 04/19/1873.  He came to Limestone County Alabama from Fairfield South Carolina.  Then he relocated to Lincoln County, Tennessee.  [Ragan, 2002]

In the 1820 Lincoln County, TN Census, Stephen has two sons and five daughters.

In the 1850 Lincoln County, TN Census, Stephen Coleman is listed in household 1447, page 422 as 63 years old and wife Rhoda is listed as 62 years old.

[1850 & 1860 U.S. Census of Independence County, Arkansas] & [Rowland, 1980]  John's father was John Gleghorn, Sr born 1766 in Ireland.  John Gleghorn, Sr came to the U.S. about 1790 to Chester County, SC.  John Gleghorn, Jr and wife, Scissely Coleman, went to Independence County Ark. in 1842, then relocated in 1859 to Green County, Ark. [Ragan, 2002] & [Goodspeed]

John Gleghorn, Sr. was born in Scotland and came to this country when only 12 years old. [Goodspeed]

This family was listed on August 12, 1860 in the U.S. Census for the Gainsville Post Office, in Union Township, Green County, Arkansas. Series M653, Roll 42, Page 603:

John M.'s birth of Dec 10, 1843 was recorded by Goodspeed, but his birth was recorded in the U.S. Census of 1900 for Kilgore Township, Clay Co., Arkansas as 12/1842. The year 1843 fits better with the age recorded for him in the 1850 U.S. Census.

(1031) Rhoda E. Gleghorn married Samuel Pool. [Goodspeed]

The 1870 U.S. Census for Dunklin County, Missouri lists her with her family:

(1035) Melissa E. Gleghorn married J. A. Pool. [Goodspeed]

I have not found this family in the 1870 Census index on familysearch.org.

(1036) John M. Gleghorn enlisted in Capt. Morgan's Company in November 1861.  He served until disabled in 1863 and was discharged at Readyville, Tennessee. After a while at home, he enlisted in Marmaduke's Brigade and served until the end of the war. He was active "in the battles of Corinth, Fort Pillow, Murfreesboro, Bragg's raid through Kentucky, Harrisburg and a number of other hard fights." [Goodspeed]

Goodspeed continues:

He was wounded by a pistol shot while with Price at Big Blue. He surrendered at Shreveport, La., June 8, 1865, and returned to Greene County, Ark., and was engaged in farming there until February, 1871. when he came to Clay County, Ark., and located near Knobel, where he farmed on rented land until January, 1881, then purchasing his present farm of 325 acres, about 140 of which are under cultivation. He has a good two-story frame house and has made other valuable improvements. His principal crop is corn, but he also raises some cotton, and gives much attention to stock raising, both buying and selling.

(1036) John M. Gleghorn married first in November 1865 to Mary Arnold.  [Stout, Western District Marriages, Clay County, 1881-1907]

Walter, Luther, William, John, and Anna were listed as deceased.  [birth years based on the 1880 U.S. Census records of Franklin, Izard County, AR, Page 355A] James R. (or A.) is shown with John M. Gleghorn as his son in the U.S. Census of 1900 for Kilgore Township, Clay Co., Arkansas.

(1044) Lindsey C. Gleghorn, born 1871 or 72 in Arkansas, married Minnie Porter on 02/04/1894. He was 21, she 17 years old. [Stout, Scot, Western District Marriages, Clay County, 1881-1907]

(1045) Hattie Etta Gleghorn born 1876 or 77 in Arkansas, married Fletcher Porter, in Clay County, Arkansas on 04/19/1891. He was 26, she 15 years old. Thus Fletcher was born about 1864 or 1865. [Stout, Scot, Western District Marriages, Clay County, 1881-1907]
[Post #75 to Gleghorn Family Forum on GenForum, by Judy, dated 10/01/2003 with subject of "Re: GLEGHORN - ARKANSAS bef. 1900 to present"]

The household of Fletcher H. Porter, born 1864 or 5, was recorded in 1900 in the U.S. Census for Kilgore Township of Clay Co., Arkansas as:

Porter, Fletcher H., head, b. Feb 1864, 35 yrs, born in KY, both parents born KY

        Asa,  son,  b. Dec 1895, 4 yrs, born in AR, father KY, mother AR
Fletcher and Mina have been married 1 year and Mina is mother of zero children.   Clearly, Mina is not the mother of Homer (6) and Asa (4).  Apparently Hattie died sometime between Dec 1895 and 1898.

(1047) Amanda Gleghorn, born 1880 or 81, married Joe T. Watson on 10/13/1898. He was 21, she 17 years old. [Stout, Scot transcription of marriages from Western District Marriages, Clay County, 1881-1907]

Example 1 of Non-aligned Colemans in Lincoln County Tennessee: 

p.883. COLEMAN, CAMPBELL, LYONS, TAYLOR Rev. A. B. COLEMAN, citizen of Lincoln County, and a native of the Keystone State, was born in November, 1830, in Indiana County. He is a son of James and Mary (CAMPBELL) COLEMAN, both natives of Pennsylvania, and both of Scotch-Irish extraction. The father was born in Indiana County about 1795, and followed the occupation of farmer. He died in 1857. The mother was born in 1801, in Westmoreland County, and after the death of her husband, lived with her children. She died in 1884, in her eighty-second year. She was the mother of nine children, five of whom are now living: John, Mary Jane (wife of Alexander LYONS), Margaret, Thomas W., and our subject, who remained with his parents till he was thirty years of age. His academic education was received at Elder's Ridge Academy, Pennsylvania, under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church, and at the age of eighteen he entered the teacher's profession, which occupation he continued for upward of ten years, but not without interruption, however, as he attended school some of the time. In 1857 he entered the Westminister College, Wilmington, Del., and commenced the study of the ministry proper. He graduated in June, 1859, and in 1861 he was licensed to preach. The following year he was ordained as minister, and sent to Minnesota to do missionary work, where he remained five years engaged in his religious duties. In 1867 he was sent South to organize and lay a foundation for their church work. He came to Lincoln County, Tenn., where he has since remained engaged in the good work. The same year of his arrival he dedicated the first United Presbyterian Church in the State of Tennessee. January 31, 1868, he married Hannah B. Taylor, a native of Lincoln County, born in 1840, and the daughter of Henry and Catherine M. TAYLOR. As a citizen Mr. COLEMAN is highly respected and bears the reputation of being a man of high character and one who leads a conscientious, straight-forward course through life. During the war he affiliated with the Union cause and was a strong supporter of the same. Mr. COLEMAN had the misfortune to lose his wife December 10, 1883.
