First off, I am a member of DAR and have several supplemental lines and have spent about ten years searching for a father/son documentation for Barnabas and Coleman Haley. Barnabas Haley got his Revolutionary War pension in Madison County and he and his wife, Rhoda, are buried in the Scaffold Cane Cemetery in Rockcastle County. Coleman and family went to Boone County, MO and he died there. He married Ellender Renfro in Garrard County, KY before he made the move. The estate settlement for Coleman lists a son Turpin in Kentucky and he was in Rockcastle County, KY at that time. Ellender Renfro Haley eventually came home and placed her membership in the Scaffold Cane Church. Knowing all of this, I still cannot find anything that will help me to prove the father/son relationship between Barnabas and Coleman to the satisfaction of DAR...any suggestions? Mary Alice

Mary Alice, Check with the Rockcastle Genealogy Society at Mt Vernon and talk to Jean about the "Minutes of The Scaffold Cane Church. If I remember right, they begin about 1803. They may mention Barnabus and Rhonda and son Coleman. The minutes do include my Thomas Miller and Patience. Also I believe Coleman and Ellender were married in Garrard County on Sept 20, 1805. Sur Bond may have been by Barnabus??? Then in Madison County there should be a marriage bond for George Haley and Lavica Callahan dated Feb 3, 1809. One more, I don't know for sure but Barnabus or Coleman may have been "Mason's" and they may have a record with them. Robert Duncan Cook who married Matilda Haley was a Freemason in Madison> Good Luck -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, November 13, 2005 8:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MADKY-L] Barnabas Haley and son, Coleman First off, I am a member of DAR and have several supplemental lines and have spent about ten years searching for a father/son documentation for Barnabas and Coleman Haley.
