Biography

"Abraham was born on Long Island January 19, 1770. He moved with his parents Peter Coleman and Abigail ( Jayne) Coleman from New York to Surry County North Carolina shortly before the start of the Revolutionary War. His father Peter had a 200 acre land grant on Forbes Creek in December of 1778. Peter bought land and a mill on Tom's Creek from his father in law Nathaniel Jayne in March of 1784. Abraham was married in 1790 to Elizabeth Parker. Elizabeth was born near Baltimore, Maryland. Abraham and Elizabeth moved to Pike County Kentucky with his siblings between 1804 & 1810. They later moved to Sullivan County Indiana due to a tax delinquency. Abraham died in Parke County Indiana in 1838".

I have less trouble with the details relating specifically to Abraham although the children listed are different. However, I have some question dealing with the father, Peter. I have seen where Peter the father of Abraham is listed as being from North Carolina, Virginia, and New York. I do not believe that the Peter that I listed as the father on the other profile is Peter II from Virginia. However, I am willing to change my view if good documentation for this relationship is provided. So, I do not know how one handles this particular problem. As far as DNA connections are concerned, my DNA is a match for the descendent of Youngs Coleman which would indicate that the DNA is most likely the same as for Peter and Abraham.

Coleman-7324 and Coleman-4486 appear to represent the same person because: same parents and siblings.

Coleman-7324 and Coleman-4486 are not ready to be merged because: birth date and location do not seem to match since Peter the father was in Rowan County, NC in the 1770s and not in Grayson County Virginia. This is shown by property deeds.

Also, two different Peter Coleman listings are used for the father of Abraham.

Coleman-7324 and Coleman-4486 appear to represent the same person because: they have the same parent and siblings. Father needs to be merged.
