Coleman migrated with his father(Edmond) & Mother (Mary Wood) to Tennessee c1823. He lost his mother in TN and Edmond remarried in 1835 and then Edmond & family moved to Pike Co.,IL. Coleman either stayed in McMinn Co.,TN or returned shortly thereafter where he married Anna Ferguson Oct.21,1838 where they lived for some 10 years. In 1850 he moved to Pike Co., IL to be close to his father & siblings.

"Family Legend has it that they were in process of moving from Pike Co., IL to Arkansas but met James W. Tatum in Beaver Springs (later to become Anderson); who found out he was also a minister and convinced him to settle at Beaver Springs, MO. The reason for the move was thought to have been some discomfort over Anna who came from a slave state"

Coleman was listed as a wagonmaker and they had 5 children born in TN and one in IL. In the late 1850's he and family moved to McDonald Co., MO. He owned some 160 acres where he continued working as a wagonmaker. Five additional children were born in McDonald Co. He was ordained as a Baptist Minister and served as an early minister in the Beaver Springs church. The original church was log dobbed with mud and lime. The church was located on his land on what is now the Anderson Cemetery. A second church was also located in the Cemetery site. Subsequently the church was moved into the town of Anderson, MO. He donated the land on which the Anderson Cemetery is currently located.
