BARNES, COLEMAN posted by E. (Woody) Coleman, Jr. on Wednesday, October 8, 1997

I am researching my 3d great grandfather, Henry Allen COLEMAN, born in Putnam County, Georgia in 1814 and his wife: Sarah Ann BARNES, b. 1807. He appears to have left Cobb county, GA., sometime after 1850 ,where he lived a number of years, and lived awhile in Benton county, sometime before 1856. He then moved back to Georgia where he settled in Carroll county. I believe this family had kinfolk in neighboring Alabama. For the most part, this family had their residence in Cobb and Carroll county, GA. I would be most interested to find out something of the Coleman family of your county in Alabama since their might be a connection.
