General Notes: Husband - Rev. Elijah Coleman

---

He was born in the state of Maryland and as a young man came to West Mahoning township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, where he settled on a tract of 300 acres, the remainder of his life being devoted to its clearing and cultivation. A faithful worker in the Methodist Episcopal Church, he became presiding elder, being made a minister in 1825, and elder in 1830, and for a number of years worked tirelessly in the service of the Master, riding horseback through Indiana, Armstrong, Clarion and Jefferson counties. Rev. Mr. Coleman belonged to that set of sturdy, courageous and conscientious men whose lives and activities were directed along the lines laid down by personal probity, and without whose services Christianity could not have been spread.

The source for his date of death states that he was 72 years old when he died. This would make his year of birth 1790, in which case the year of his marriage, 1800, doesn't fit. Given the dates of birth for his children, one might suggest that the year of marriage was 1810.
