Hello, My mother's Coleman family was from VA to TN, AR, OK, and TX. In 1840 Joshua C. Coleman married Sarah Ann Bird Bedford CO TN. They had 4 children , their 4th child was William Samuel Coleman b. 1848, Flat Creek Bedford CO TN. HE married Sarah Ann Boone daughter of Howard Boone and Elizabeth Floyd. I have information back to 1740 VA for this Coleman family. Now I get lost, my living family verbal history states this family came from Wales, and there is Native American family. I know nothing about the Bird /Byrd families. Sam and Sarah Boone Coleman moved to TX in 1873, settled in Parker CO TX. They have a very large family here that is searching for our roots. Sarah Byrd Coleman died after the 1850 census maybe June 16, 1850, Joshua married a neighbor widow Jane Floyd Bearden [sister of Elizabeth Floyd Boone] same year. With his 4 , her 4 and their children they had around 14 children. I have information about this family to share. I do know that Joshua's father was probably Jordan Coleman b. abt 1750 VA he married Nancy Anderson b. SC abt. 1784 in 1809 Rutherford CO TN. I have four brothers John, Joshua, James, and Jesse in Bedford and Rutherford counties. I also have Jordan with a brother Jesse that married to Elizabeth Southall granddaughter to David Coleman VA. This connects the English and Wales Coleman family OR was this the same family?? I am wondering if any Coleman family has any DNA research.
