Abraham was born on Long Island January 19, 1770. He moved with his parents Peter Coleman and Abigail ( Jayne) Coleman from New York to Surry County North Carolina shortly before the start of the Revolutionary War. His father Peter had a 200 acre land grant on Forbes Creek in December of 1778. Peter bought land and a mill on Tom's Creek from his father in law Nathaniel Jayne in March of 1784. Abraham was married in 1790 to Elizabeth Parker. Elizabeth was born near Baltimore, Maryland. Abraham and Elizabeth moved to Pike County Kentucky with his siblings between 1804 & 1810. They later moved to Sullivan County Indiana due to a tax delinquency. Abraham died in Parke County Indiana in 1838.
About 1838 grandfather died. He went out to get some kindling a few rods from the house. We missed him and followed his track in the snow and found him laying speechless.He lived a few days and died of paralysis.He had been stricken some years before while crossing a ferry 25 or 30 miles from home. It was some weeks before we heard from him. Finally we brought him home and he recovered. He was a man of great physical strength so also was many of his kindred.
