• Notes

  (Research): Robert Coleman was named the sole executor of his father's Will of June 2, 1743. This meant that he was at least twenty-one years old, and thus was born as early as 1722. His father willed him one hundred acres of land on the upper side of Wintocomake Creek. Deed Book 4, Page 34 1 November 1750, Robert Coleman sold to Thomas Cowles, of Chester City County, land "devised to the said Robert Coleman by William Coleman, Sr., father of the said Robert Coleman." The deed further recites that patent for the same had been issued to William Coleman 13 October, 1727. Ann, wife of Robert, waived dower. Deed Book 5, Pages 188 and 193, 26 September, 1754, Robert Coleman made similar deeds to Samuel Morgan. The deed at Page 192 carries Francis Roberts and Thomas Roberts as witnesses. We find in the Halifax County, North Carolina, records that William Roberts sold land to Robert Coleman on March 13, 1761. Deed Book 7, Page 255. Robert Coleman never again appears in the Amelia County records. Robert Coleman moved to Lunenberg County, Virginia. From there he moved to Union County, South Carolina, in 1775. This was the same year that Robert Coleman of Halifax County, North Carolina, moved to the adjoining county of Fairfield, South Carolina. (Medical):Ann Hinton Coleman was issued a coffin for her stepdaughter on December 15, 1781, and for her husband on December 17, 1781. The coffin for the stepdaughter was for Frances, wife of Zacharias Gibbs, who died of small pox along with a son and 23 slaves. It is possible that Robert Coleman Sr. also died of this disease.
