Peter, son of Wm & Faith Coleman born 25th June last, bap. Feb 9th 17 ( ) (Page 295).
Peter, son of Wm & Faith Coleman, born & bap' in August 17 ( ). (Page 296}).
The Last Will and Testament of Peter Coleman is found at Page 109 of Will Book 5, Peter outlived most of the others as his will was proved on February 27, 1794. He left all of his property to his daughter, Fannie, without stating her last name. We do not know whether she was married or single. We do know, however, that Peter Coleman had other children, because in Land Deed Book 16, Page 140, "for love and affection," he sold 50 acres of land to his son, Solomon Coleman. This was 4 October, 1782. However, bad trouble must have arisen between Peter Coleman and his son, Solomon, because in Deed Book 19, Page 162, May 24, 1792, we find that Peter Coleman sued out a peace bond against Solomon Coleman and Isaac Coleman, and they made bond to preserve the peace for a year and a day toward Peter, the father of Solomon. This shows how the Colemans could and did "fall out" and take umbrage toward each other. From deeds appearing at Pages 44 and 46, Book 9, we find that Peter Coleman's wife was named Martha. From the records of Bristol Parish we know that Peter Coleman was born in 1720. Solomon Coleman must have moved away from Amelia County, because I find no reference to him, wills or deeds, after about 1800.
