It features the parents of Phillip Coleman and his descendants who ended up in Texas. The Coleman family originated with Robert Coleman who lived in that area of Virginia that later became Amelia County. DNA evidence indicates that the men named Robert Coleman who lived in Virginia at that time were related in part. The descendants of the Mobjack Bay, VA Colemans settled in Fairfield County, SC adjacent to Union County, SC where members of our Coleman family lived. The Coleman family that lived in Orange County, NY shared many of the same surnames such as Abner. They seem to have originally lived in Long Island. My grandmother was a Coleman and she was a descendant of Joseph Coleman who was born 1771 in Amelia County, VA and died in Person County, NC in 1851. He married Elizabeth Rux Garrett inn Cumberland County, VA in 1800. Cumberland County borders on Amelia County, VA. The name Phillip Coleman is typical of member! s of this family. David C.
