In a post dated June 14, 2002, it was stated that the wife of Thomas Coleman was Frances Belcher. In an article in the NEHGR, Vol. CXLVI, Jan. 1992, pages 28-34, titled "The Widow Frances (Albright) Wells, wife of Thomas Coleman of Wethersfield and Hadley", by Douglas Richardson. This article provides justification that Frances Albright married first, Thomas Wells who died in England in 1637. Frances married second, before 6 March 1638 (date of her brother Richard's inventory) Thomas Coleman, with whom she came to New England. Thomas Coleman was widower with four children. One child, Deborah, b. about 1640 was of the marriage of Thomas and Frances (Albright) (Wells) Coleman. I also descend from Thomas Coleman and his first wife. I have not been able to find the name of his first wife. The four children of this marriage were: John, Esther, Sarah and Noah.
