I am researching the Coleman surname. Three or four Coleman brothers, James (m.
Elizabeth Williamson), Alexander (m. Nancy Wooten), Moses and Andrew, along with their
mother Charlotte Thompson Coleman (separated from Peter Coleman Jr. of Grayson Co. VA and
Pike Co. KY) and a sister. These Colemans came from Pike Co. KY to Bryantsville and other
areas of Spice Valley township in the mid 1830's. James Coleman was my great grand- father. My
grandfather was Alexander Coleman, named after James' brother. James and Elizabeth had other
sons, Harmon and Jackson. I am particularly searching for information about the following: 1. No
trace of James is found in Lawrence Co. His wife and children are listed in the 1840 census
without James. His wife is referred to as a widow when marrying William Ray in 1844. What ever
happened to James Coleman? Is there any record of his death? 2. James and his brother,
Alexander got Lawrence Co. land from military land warrants. What was the basis for getting a
military land warrant in Lawrence Co. in mid 1830's? 3. Alexander Coleman, my grandfather
married first Marinday Jones, second Polly Evans (both of Lawrence Co.), and finally married
Elizabeth Young much later, 1874, in Newton Co. Arkansas. He and his brother Harmon settled
near Rolla Missouri by the 1850 census. Alexander fought in the civil war battle of Pea Ridge
Arkansas in March 1862. Did he fight on the side of Confederates? Did he later join the Union
army? Is it true that he fought in a battle on the opposite side from his little brother, Jackson (who
remained in Bryantsville)? Jackson enlisted in the union 17th regiment of Indiana Volunteers at
Huron Indiana on August 11, 1862. 4. Jackson was captured in a battle and returned to camp
Morton (Indianapolis) in a prisoner exchange. He came home on furlough to Bryantsville and died
from small pox in January 1864. Many soldiers in his outfit died of small pox. He had just one
child Oliver, from whom descendents survive. I would like to contact any descendents of Oliver.
5. I would like to contact any descendents of William Ray who married James Coleman's widow,
Elizabeth Williamson Coleman.

of children, apparently taken on the same day. These children are not in my direct line which is
Robert Kearby Speer, Susan Jane Speer Barrett, Robert Elza Barrett, Roberta Jean Barrett
Edwards. Does anyone have any information on who the following children belonged to: William
F. Speer born 1/8/1860 Mary Jane Speer born 9/12/1861 Andrew S. Speer born 2/20/1863 James

1/30/1868 George Thomas Speer born 3/24/1870 The youngest child, George appears to be about

I am looking for anybody from the HOOPENGARNER/HOOPINGARNER family. There seems
to be a Daniel HOOPENGARNER that I have some data on, that crosses with another Daniel
HOOPENGARNER. His children seem to be born in Lawrence Co. from 1836-1860. One of his
sons was PRESTON HOOPENGARNER, my GG grandfather. I want any information I can get
on this family to help me figure out the name crossings.

I am searching for an Alfred Maden who was related to Polly Mitchell Maden whohad
connections with or came from Lawrence Co, Indiana in 1819 when they bought or inherited land
in Chillicothe, Ohio (lots 73 and 275). That land was bought by James Mitchell of Adams County,
Ohio (Ross County) in 1797. I believe James Mitchell was related to Polly Mitchell Maden James
may have been related to John Mitchell of Chillicothe / Pickaway / Ross County Ohio area. John
is the main focus of my search. I am in hopes that someone related to Alfred Maden (of Lawrence
County, Indiana) might help me connect to the early Mitchell's of that Ohio area, especially John
or James.
