Married John Nasworthy, 1815 Burke County, Georgia. Married Reverend Elisha Coleman, 1828 Burke County, Georgia.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suggested edit:
Elisha Coleman married Lucretia Whitfield, who bore him 10 children, before her death from complications of childbirth, in 1828. He then married a widow, with 3 children of her own. Her name was Mary Lucretia Scott, and she raised his children along with hers. She was the daughter of Captain James Scott and Frances Collier, and was a woman of imagination and talent, acting as an early day caterer for plantation owners of Burke County. She was a very vocal and outspoken woman, in a day when that was not acceptable, and that was a cause of discord in her marriage. She died on July 22, 1878, in the home of her daughter Rosetta. (From "The Colemanac" by Arthur Clinton Coleman, 1976)
