Stephen Coleman

The dates for Stephen and Sarah are taken from their family Bible (source states that, but I have not seen a copy).

Stephen inherited 400 acres in Pittsylvania Co from his father's will.

His will was written 22 Sep 1797 and proven in Pittsylvania Co. on 17 Sep 1798 (D&W 11, p. 204). He names his wife Sarah and states that after her demise, his remaining estate is to be divided among his eight children and heirs of his daughter Anney Townes, deceased. He then states that one-ninth of his estate is to go to Elizabeth McDaniel, Stephen Coleman, Patsey Turner, Daniel Coleman, Lucy Price, Judith Turner, Polley Coleman, heirs of daughter Anney Townes, decd, and Thompson Coleman (named in that order).
