Notes |
- Joel Coleman was a soldier in the Revolution, and fought in the battle of White Plains. He spent most of his life in Hamptonburgh where he was a farmer (R&C). (The town of Hamptonburgh was formed in 1830 from Goshen, Blooming Grove, New Windsor, Montgomery and Wallkill.)
Joel was in New Cornwall in the 1790 census, when the household consisted of 1 male over 16, 3 males under 16, and 3 females.
In the 1800 census he was aged 26-44, in Blooming Grove, with 2 males and 1 female under 10 (Joel, Oliver, Rachel), 2 males 10-15 (Hull, Phineas), 2 females 16-25 (Philotta & ?housekeeper) (no wife).
In 1810 Joel Coleman was enumerated in Warwick, when both he and his (2nd) wife were over 45. With them were only 1 male under 10 (her son Alfred), and 1 female 10-15 (Rachel).
In 1820 Joel and his wife, both over 45, were in Wallkill. They had 1 female under 10, another 16-25 (Rachel), and 1 male 19-25 (Alfred).
In 1830 Joel Coleman and his wife of Wallkill were both in their 60s, and this time they had with them 1 female under 5, 1 male and 1 female 10-14, and 1 male and 1 female 20-29. (Whose family?)
In 1840 Joel and his wife were 70-79, in Wallkill. With them were 1 male 5-9, 1 female 10-14, 1 female 15-19, and 1 male and 1 female in their 30s.
In Hamptonburg in 1840, the household of James Manny had 1 female 30-39 (who?), and 1 male and 1 female 40-49.
When the estate of Rachel's bachelor brother, Peter4 Rumsey, was probated in 1843, the children of Rachel Coleman who were still living were listed as: Joel Coleman of Blooming Grove, Phineas Coleman of Hamptonburg, Hull Coleman of Warwick, Oliver Coleman of Penn Yan, Keziah Manny wife of James Manny of Hamptonburg, and Phila wife of Nathaniel Carpenter of Hamptonburg.
Alfred Coleman, Joel's son by his 2nd wife Mary, was in Wallkill in 1850 aged 46. His wife Sarah J. was 42, and they had one son at home, Edsen 17; also Jane Keneda 20, and Allice Mapes 6.
In the 1850 census of Hamptonburgh there was a James Many, farmer aged 56, who had a wife Christina aged 60, and a daughter Caroline O. 40. This could be the husband of Keziah Coleman with a second wife. Caroline would thus be Keziah's daughter, since Keziah was living in 1843. [2]
