Hugh Robert Coleman, the first son of the union of John L. and Mary Harper Coleman, was given the first name of his maternal grandfather, Hugh Harper. Why "Robert" was chosen as his middle name is unknown.
He appears as a member of the John L. Coleman household in the US Census of 1860, in Wheeling, West Virginia, and again in the New Jasper, Greene County, Ohio, US Census of 1870. Because the family relocate once again to Wheeling, West Virginia, before the close of the year in 1870, the John L. Coleman household also appears in the census for that city.
Robert is listed in the federal census of 1880 as a single, white male, approximately 21 years of age (birth year 1858), employed as a farm hand, residing in the home of James Messich, in Goshen Township, Champaign County, Ohio. The notation also lists the birthplaces of his father and mother as "Ohio," which we now know to be incorrect.
