None of the names you mention are known to me.Those of the Ray/Coleman Lines to which I refer were from Illinois as far back as I have been able to go, and that is only to an Adelbert Eugene Coleman who married an Ida Ray.Benjamin Ray was their son.However, Benjamin Ray Coleman married Gertrude Riheldaffer, whose Great-grandmother was Catherine Coleman (b. New Jersey, 1806, later of SW Pa.(daughter born in 1834 there) and later of Wheeling, WVa around 1830), daughter of Samuel Coleman and Jane Logan.This Coleman line may be that to which you refer.
