I am interested to know whether my Coleman's may be the same as your information.My ggg-grandfather was Dr. Dan Coleman from Oxford, his son was Daniel Gaston Coleman, whose son was Gaston Leslie Coleman.
I understand that Dr. Dan lived in Oxford, down the street from William Faulkner.Daniel Gaston Coleman and William Faulkner were close friends.Dr. Dan also owned land in Sardis, MS, where the Sardis Dam is now located.This is where he farmed with slaves.My grandmother's family were share-cropper on the old "Coleman Plantation" and she could remember living on the land and where the house and "old-slave graveyard" were located.
