I have correct and proven information back to my great grandfather who married a Boone. Where I get stopped is locating information about his family. I know someone has the information I need because A Boone cousin copied it early 1900 time span: William Samuel Coleman b. 1848 Flat Creek Bedford CO TN s/o Joshua C. Coleman b. 1823 & Sarah Ann [Sally] Byrd b. 1826 TN Sam Coleman married Sarah Ann Boone b. 1855 Madison CO. AR. d/o Howard Boone and Elizabeth Floyd. No one in my family has located Joshua's or Sally's family. I hope someone with old letters, Bibles etc has these Colemans.
