Rev. Samuel Shepley Coleman, "What I Know about the Coleman Family" :
"My grandfather, Phillip Coleman, was the son of Henry and Elizabeth Coleman , born in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, September 6, 1771, and died in the year 1837.
His ancestors were of English birth. My Great Grandfather, Henry Coleman was a hatter by trade , as also my grandfather. Grandfather came west while a young man and married Ann Kelly of Kentucky, and soon after the birth of my father moved to Ohio, settling in Warren County, near Lebanon.
According to his military service record he served as a private in Capt. Patrick Shaw's Company, 1 Regt. Ohio Militia from Feb. 6, 1813 to Aug. 6, 1813. Samuel Coleman, his grandson, reported that: "Philip went out under Hull and was in the War when he surrendered to the British. He was afterwards with Gen. Harrison, and with Anthony Wayne when he fought the Indians. He was with Capt. Kirby's spies in that campaign... "
"Grandfather (Phillip) Coleman moved to Clinton Township, Shelby County, before it was organized as a township. He was the father of five sons and two daughters, all living to be men and women; James H., Nathan, Thomas, Benjamin, John P., Hannah, and Emeline. All the boys except father moved West: Nathan to Allen County, Indiana, Thomas , Benjamin, and John P. to Wisconsin; Father to Logan County, Ohio, Hannah to near St. Johns, Auglaise County, Ohio, and Emeline to Adams County, Indiana. "
Information about Philip Coleman and Ann Kelley was compiled by Ralph D.Smith formerly of Albuquerque, N.M. in 1981. The title of this unpublished manuscript is " Philip Coleman and Ann Kelly and Their Children."
Part of Ralph's account follows:
"Henry Coleman,hatter, was a native of Montgomery Co. PA Philip was trained as a hatter but became a farmer after he moved West as a young man... In 1797 Philip and Ann moved from Kentucky to Warren Co. Ohio near Lebanon. In 1803 Philip is found as one of the appraisers of the estate of David Hicks in Warren Co.
"On Oct 10, 1814, Philip 'entered' the north half of section 1 , township 8, range 6 east of the Meridian Line drawn from the Mouth of the Great Miami River. On April 14, 1819, President Monroe issued Philip 'of Warren Co.' a patent to that half section ( 320 acres.)
