Research Notes

• Needs Biography: Self-explanatory (no text in Biography section). Strutton-11 15:39, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
• Needs Sources: Sources for birth/death/marriage dates and locations, and attached family profiles are needed. No documentation Rebecca is daughter of Thomas Claiborne; no proof of marriage to Richard Coleman. Strutton-11 15:39, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

The only source listed for Rebecca is "Family Tree record for Robert Coleman." Which is odd if she was married to Richard Coleman. Strutton-11 15:39, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

I question the location of burial of Rebecca at Dicy Cline Cemetery, Hurley, Buchanan, Virginia. There is no headstone and no documentation for this death date or burial. Buchanan County, Virginia, was formed in 1858. All the burials posted on Find A Grave at this cemetery, except 2, are individuals who died 1920 or later. There is one burial, no headstone, for Mose Coleman who died in 1882. And there is the memorial for Rebecca Coleman who died in 1650. I think these last two memorials are incorrectly placed in this cemetery. Strutton-11 15:39, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Other than this incorrect burial location, there is no documentation Rebecca or her husband (whoever he was) was ever in Virginia. No death dates or locations are given for her purported children and her linked husband Richard Coleman is said to have died in 1679 in Suffolk, England. Death location for Rebecca is being changed to England. Strutton-11 15:39, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
