Colemans in IA in 1809?
I am searching for information on Mary Coleman's origins.A US Census enumeration lists her birthplace as being Iowa, and her birthdate is- from that source and from our family bible- 1809.However, according to the state history there were no white settlers allowed into Iowa until several years after her birthdate.Does anyone else know of Coleman families who settled in Iowa early enough to be her parents?Perhaps families related to a Philip Coleman, b. 1806 in Appanoose County?
