"The Colemans were Scotch-Irish and came to America from North Ireland, settling in Charleston, South Carolina in the early 1700's. You can be proud of your Coleman ancestors. They were all fine, upright, courageous, brilliant. They were greatly loved and honored." ... Laura Kolb Coleman Kingsbery, (1884-1971)
