In reply to:
Jesse Coleman
Mary Martin 9/20/03
In the 1880 US Census under Family Search/LDS
I found the following - It is probably your Jesse Coleman:
Jesse Coleman, b. 1844, TN - age 36 farmer - parents b. TN
wife: "Dovey" b. 1851 - TN, age 22 paents b. TN
children:
daughter Maryb. 1877ARage 3parents b. TN
daughter Margret b. 1879 AR8 mo. oldparents b. TN
I notice that the spelling of Margret is not Margaret, but that could be an error.
Also Jesse is stated as born in TN not IN - that might be an error, but since the children said both parents born TN, it is probably correct.
The location of the Census was DOVER, POPE COUNTY, ARKANSAS
so the information fits - "Dovey" is probably a nickname
for "Dover" -
