DANIEL COLEMAN

https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~mobjackbaycolemans/genealogy/b08dan...

Fifth Known, Surviving Child of Robert Coleman and Elizabeth Grizzell Of Mobjack Bay Virginia

Without parish registers or wills to use as evidence regarding the family of Daniel Coleman2 other less obvious records have to be used. Until recently, the only certain son of Daniel2 was Daniel Coleman, Jr. whose wife was Patience Elliott. However, evidence indicates that Daniel Coleman2 was also the father of Thomas, John, Darby and Grizzell.

Daniel Coleman2 was living in New Kent Co. in 1688 as evidenced in a deed transaction of Benjamin Arnold "in sight of Daniel Coleman’s plantation". In 1691, New Kent Co. was divided, with more than half of it becoming King & Queen Co. This is the Daniel Coleman on the 1704 King & Queen Co. Rent Rolls with 470 acres.

In 1703, Daniel Coleman2 and Samuel Williams were granted 600 acres of Indian Lease Land in King William Co. We know Daniel continued to live in King & Queen Co. because in 1714, he and John Madison II were granted 2000 acres of land in King William Co. Both men were described as being "of King & Queen Co.".

The Grizzell Coleman believed to be Daniel’s daughter was born ca. 1705. She married a Mr. Whitlock and lived in King William Co. By 1751, she was a widow and had moved to Goochland Co. Although the first name of Grizzell’s husband is still unknown, her father-in-law was probably the John Whitlock who patented 150 acres of Indian Lease Land in King William Co. at the same time Daniel Coleman and Samuel Williams were granted their 600 acres. Grizzell died in 1759, leaving a Goochland Co. will.

A lawsuit in Caroline County Court on 9 May 1729 disputes land ‘given by the will of Daniel Coleman to his son Thomas". The land began at a line "dividing the land of John Coleman’s children". The only Daniel Coleman deceased by 1729 was Daniel2 who died in 1722. The ‘children of John Coleman’ were not named, but the wording in the lawsuit indicates John was deceased. The survey shows the land of Thomas and the deceased John as adjacent each other. This land appears to have been devised to sons John and Thomas in the (lost) will of their father, Daniel Coleman2.

Daniel2 was the only child of Robert Coleman and Elizabeth Grizzell to retain both King & Queen and King William Co. land. For that reason, it is very likely he was also the father of the Darby Coleman described in Wingfield’s History of Caroline County, Virginia, 1975, p. 417. "In the Spotsylvania County Records of 1738, mention is made of William Coleman of St. John’s Parish in King William Co., son and heir of Darby Coleman, deceased of King & Queen Co."

For purposes of this record, and until evidence proves otherwise, Daniel Coleman2 was the father of Daniel Jr., John, Thomas, Darby and Grizzell.

"Old records" have often been cited by researchers to prove a theory. Those records may no longer be in existence, but sometimes that’s all we have to rely on. I believe this to be important in the case of the children of Daniel Coleman3 and his wife Patience Elliott.

According to an "old record" (source not cited), "Eli Noel married Elizabeth Coleman, daughter of Daniel Coleman./a>". Elizabeth and Eli lived first in Cumberland Co., then moved to Chesterfield Co. On 28 Oct 1765 in Cumberland Co., Eli Noel sold 170 acres to Daniel Coleman for L35. The land, on the south side of the Willis River and on the east side of Bear Creek, adjoined land already owned by Daniel Coleman. Two of the deed witnesses were William Coleman and Henry Coleman. \(Cumberland Co. VA Deeds, , Book 4, p. 54)

Evidence points strongly to the fact that Elizabeth was a daughter of Daniel and Patience Coleman. Elizabeth and Eli had children named Thompson, Robert, John, Poindexter, Sarah, Richard, Littleberry and Eli Noel. The unusual first names of Thompson and Poindexter were maiden names of two of Elizabeth’s sisters-in-law (wives of Daniel and Thomas\).

Neither Daniel Coleman nor his wife Patience Elliott Coleman named Elizabeth Noel as a daughter in their wills. This does not mean she was not their daughter. Elizabeth may have received her inheritance while her father was still living.

Until further proof is found, and until evidence proves otherwise, Elizabeth will be listed as a daughter of Daniel Coleman3 and his wife Patience Elliott.

DANIEL COLEMAN b. ca. 1662 Gloucester Co. VA, lived in New Kent Co. and King & Queen Cos. . before 7 June 1722 King & Queen Co. m. wife unknown, probably Miss Darby.

Daniel was in New Kent Co. by 1688, evidenced by this deed: (Cavaliers and Pioneers, Vol. II, 1666-1695, p. 320) 23 Apr 1688. Mr. Benjamin Arnold, 1754 acres, New Kent Co. north side of Mattapony River; 1050 acres granted to Capt. UnknownTaylow (sic), and sold to Anthony Arnold, dec’d; 704 acres beginning below the Mill Creek as near the river as could be, in sight of William Nicholl’s Plantation, by John Pigg, in sight of Daniel Coleman’s

Plantation, to Peck’s Hill, by William and Thomas Campe, over the Mill Creek, etc.

In 1691, New Kent Co. was divided, a good portion of it becoming King & Queen Co. The land Daniel lived on in New Kent Co. became King & Queen after this division. He was charged with 470 acres on the 1704 King & Queen Rent Rolls.

On 23 Apr 1703, Daniel and Samuel Williams as joint tenants acquired 600 acres of land on Herring Creek in King William Co. "for the transportation of 12 persons into this Colony". (Cavaliers & Pioneers, Vol. III, p. 74, Pat. Bk. 9, p. 549) These 600 acres were part of Indian Lease Land:

     William Leigh of King & Queen Co., Gent.  representing to his Excellency that by an order of the Councill dated 25th Nov 1682 it was directed that 4,000 acres of land should be laid out for the Rappa’ Indians \(Rappahannock Indians\) about the town where they dwelt.  There were 3,474 acres laid out but the Indians deserted the land after some time and William Leigh wished to take a survey of the land.  The Committee said this land was not in Pamunkey Neck or Blackwater and was not within their Cognizance but presumed the usual methods would be followed for taking up the land.

From Titles Upon Indian Leases, June 1669: " This Committee conceived that the following claims & titles to land in Pamunkey Neck having their ground & foundation upon Indian leases are Null & Voyd as being contrary to the true intent & meaning of the Articles of Peace & to the 136th Act of Assembly in the Printed Book. But because it conduces much to the advancement of his Maj’ties interest & the peopling of this his Maj’ties Colony that the said lands should be held of the King as others, & because the several persons claiming thereby have their immediate dependance thereupon & have made several improvements & have a long continued & uninterrupted possession, this Committee therefore conceived that a favorable Grant thereof may be made to them."

Among the familiar names receiving Indian Lease Land, for various reasons, were: Daniel Coleman & Samuel Williams 600 acres (see 23 Apr 1705 patent above); John Whitlock 150 acres; Thomas Spencer Sr. 150 acres; John Maddison (sic) & Thomas Perring 600 acres; Benjamin Arnold, John Hurt, John Dixon & Ambrose Smith 900 acres.

On 6 Jun 1714, Daniel Coleman & John Madison II as joint tenants were granted 2000 acres of land in the forks of the Mattaponi River, King William Co. \(Land Pat. Bk. 10, p. 168) The deed said both men were of King & Queen Co. \(John Madison II was a son of John Madison (a ship’s carpenter by trade) who lived in New Kent Co. as early as 1657 and d. ca. 1682).

On 7 Jun 1722, an affidavit of James Wood was presented in the King William Co. Court stating that James Wood had divided the land owned by Daniel Coleman of King & Queen Co., then deceased, and Samuel Williams. The affidavit was presented by Daniel Coleman, son of the deceased Daniel Coleman (27 VA Colonial Abstracts by Beverley Fleet, p. 19).

Daniel Coleman left a will, as stated in the court case involving Henry Dillin which disputed 500 acres of land in Caroline Co. left by Daniel to his son Thomas Coleman. Daniel’s will has since been lost.
