Wiley Coleman, Attorney At Law, was born near Goldsboro, N. C., in 1819, and was a son of John and Rhoda (Cobb) Coleman, natives of the same state. The Coleman Family, of which there is a great number, came originally from England.
John Coleman came from North Carolina with his family and first settled in Bibb County, Alabama, in 1819. From there he moved to Greene County, in 1821, and lived there until his death. He was engaged here, as formerly, in planting; was a good farmer, a good neighbor, and a member of the Baptist Church; owned many slaves and, in many respects, a successful man. He ranked among the best people of his part of the State, and left a posterity that has always borne an excellent name for all the better traits of human nature.
Wiley Coleman was educated at Tuscaloosa and LaGrange, this State. He graduated in Law at the University of Virginia, in the year 1842, and has devoted most of his life to its practice in Eutaw. So far, his life has flowed along smoothly and harmoniously, with no more than the ordinary exceptions. He was never married.
He was in the Mexican War for a short time; has held few political offices, being one of those philosophical natures that preferred the quiet satisfaction of a tranquil life to the broils and heart burnings that invariably fall to the lot of aspirants for public favor.
Mr. Coleman was made Judge of Greene County for one term, in 1846, and represented the county in the Legislature two terms during the war. He was a member of the State Constitution Convention which formed a new Constitution for the State, in 1875.
