Wes, As you probably know, there was an earlier Robert Coleman d Ca 1721 in Craven Co from whom many of us descend through his daughter Elizabeth who married Christian Isler. Robert Married Mary O/Dier so they say. I think that Robert was also out of Nansemond. Only place I have seen the O'Dier name was in Westmoreland Co, Va in connection with the Hardy family that moved to Bertie and Gabriel O'Dier had no sons. THere are no indications that Robert Coleman had any sons.
