    1. [TNBEDFOR] Location of Cemetery
    2. AM
    3. Where would information about a Coleman Cemetery in Bedford CO area be at? I am looking for the grave of Sarah Ann Byrd Coleman b. 1826 d. 6/16/1850. Her home was in the 23rd district Flat Creek area. After her death a daughter [ Eliza? Catherine] died before 1860 b. abt. 1846, a son [Joshua Riggs] died before 1870 from thyroid fever b. abt. 1844, her oldest child was Henry John or John Henry b. 1841 enlisted in the Civil War no one knows what became of him. Her husband Joshua C. [Jack] married Jane Floyd 1850 widow of John Bearden d. 1850. [dates are correct] Jack [J.C.] and Jane are buried at the Pisgah Cemetery. I have no information about where Sally and her two children were buried. For some reason I think I read a Byrd married a Riggs in this area of TN [note 2nd son's name]. I need to say the name of Bird is on their marriage cert. Our family has always spelled her name Byrd. I hope some one can help!!! Just point me in the direction to look up at the library. I am 20 minutes from the Fort Worth Library. Takes longer to park than to drive there. My mother is a Coleman, she is 77, she is very ill and I have no ideal if she can recover this time. I would love to have this information before she dies. Her grandfather [William Samuel] was the 4th child of Sally Coleman b. 1848 d. 1883 TX. ~:~AM
