Notes |
- In the 1820 census of Blooming Grove, Orange Co, Joel Coleman was listed next to his brother Oliver who was living alone. Joel and his wife were in the 16-25 age bracket, and they had a son who was under 10.
In 1830 Joel Coleman was in Hamptonburg, next to his brother Rumsey Coleman. He and his wife were in their 30s, and with them were 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-9, 1 male and 1 female 10-14 (she prob 5-9), 1 female 20-29 (who?).
In 1840 Joel Coleman Jr. was back in Blooming Grove. His household had 1 male under 5, 1 male and 1 female(who?) 10-14, 1 male and 1 female 15-19, 1 male 20-29, 1 female 30-39 [sic] and 1 male 40-49.
In the 1843 estate of his uncle Peter Rumsey, Joel Coleman of Blooming Grove was listed among the heirs. He has not been spotted in the 1850 census. (The only Joel indexed in New York was age 33 in Yates Co.)
In the 1855 state census, Joel Coleman was in the 2nd Election District of Blooming Grove. He was 61 and a land owner. His wife Sarah was 60, and the only child at home was "Joel Jun" who was 25. They also had an Irish domestic servant. (Same family as 1860 below?)
In the 1860 census of Blooming Grove there was a J. Coleman who was 66, with a wife Sarah who was 65, both of which match Joel and his wife Sally of 1855. He was a farmer with $1000 and $1200 in real and personal property. With them were James H. 30 (i.e.Joel H.?), Oliver H. 20, Frances A. 22, Sarah E. 18, and Calvin 2. Oliver H. (named for Joel's brother?) could be the youngest son in the 1840 census, and Sarah possibly his wife. Joel H. had married Frances Sawyer in 1867, so Calvin was probably their son.
The wife of Joel H. Coleman of Blooming Grove, in the Whig Press 1857, was Frances, daughter of Gen.C.G.Sawyer of Hamptonburgh. R&C (p.499), in a biography of Gen.Calvin G.Sawyer, said his daughter Alida, by his 2nd wife Harriet (Armstrong) Smith, married Joel H. Coleman of Blooming Grove. Alida Sawyer was 12 in the 1850 census of Hamptonburgh, with Calvin G. and Harriet. [1]
