This Thomas born ca 1745 is my wall. I am beginning to see people connect him to a line, but I can find no sources to prove this. I am looking for help. I have his will and some info which I know is correct. I have his wifes name as Sarah. now I am seeing some list her as Sara Pritchett and his parents as robert coleman and frances mathis.
this is what I know: my Coleman Family begins with Thomas Coleman in Baldwin County, Georgia. He was living in this county by 1809 . Where he comes from I do not know. I have seen a Thomas Coleman in Caroline County, Va. listed in Personal Property List of 1783 with 6 do under 16. Could this be him? Chapman family came from Va to NC to Ga. Pool and Hill families are also connected to the Chapman and probably made the same route.
"Ambrose Chapman, John Miles, William Carter, William Daniel and Nicholas Pool or any three of them be (?) they are thereby appointed appraisers of said Estate" Inventory and Appraisment Nov 24, 1817, Inventory and Appraisment Nov 26, 1817, Petition for Dower Jan 5, 1818. "Sarah Coleman the widow of Thomas Coleman dec. appeared in court and made the election and choice of Dower to the Estate of said dec."
Persons listed as buying from his estate: Willis Coleman, John Hill, Mrs Coleman, David Carmady, Carey Curry, Samuel Semison (sp?), William Coleman, George Simpson, Ambrose Chapman, Tandy Bell, allen Roberson, John Chapman,Thomas David,( this could be thomas & David, but as I read it it looked like Thomas David) , Allen Estes, Young Daniel, Joseph Miller, Sarah Coleman, . Value of Estate $1,678.56 1/4.
Thomas must have owned land in Baldwin and Irwin Co. I lost record of the year but it was after the death of Thomas and before Sarah's, that we find in Captain Mc Gehee's district Willis Coleman listed with 7 slaves 101 1/4 acres landin Baldwin Co and as agent for Sarah Coleman with 4 slaves 33 2/3 acres in Baldwin and 490 pine in Irwin co. and agent for Maria Coleman listed with 2 slaves.
Thomas is listed as appraisor in the estate of James Barrow. "Orders that letters of administration on the estate of James Barrow dec. be granted to John Miles-and that William Carter senr, Robert Hill, Thomas Coleman, Henry Hunt and Michael Hunt or any three of them be and they are hereby appointed appraisers to said estate-and that he be bound in the sun of three thousand dollars as administrator to said estate of (?). Baldwin Co. Inferior Court Minutes 1812-1816 p35. (this was August 26, 1813)
As payment for his service he received a land grant of 287 1/2 acres in Georgia on 2 August 1785
not sure if this is my thomas or not

Coleman
and his wife, Sarah, sold the 100 acres "whereon the said Thomas Coleman now lives," being the same land that Robert had deeded to him in 1770, to his brother-in-law, Christopher Pritchett. The deed recites that the land
had been acquired from Robert Coleman Senior, proving the existence of a Robert Coleman Junior. The deed further indicates that Thomas, in 1779, was moving away. It was not until November 29, 1790. that William Con, by
mark, conveyed to Thomas Coleman, of Fairfield County, 250 acres of land on the waters of Beaver Creek. Thereafter, on March 31, 1795, Thomas Coleman was a witness to the will of Robert Coleman, the elder. Is this my thomas?? If so, the robert connection is correct. but if this thomas was buying land on beaver creak this is a different coleman confusing
