Book Description
The American Odyssey of the Coleman brothers, all from England, began in 1637 with the arrival of Robert Coleman. Robert was named as one of forty headrights of Colonel William Farrar II. While some 1,932 descendants and related family members of Robert Coleman are included in this book, those in the states of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina are particularly highlighted. The author's objective is to help the reader develop insights into the soul and the day-to-day life of Coleman family members. The hundreds of family member photographs add much to these insights since "the eyes are the windows to the soul". In addition, since the soul of architecture is closely integrated with the souls of the inhabitants who interact within the space they occupy, the pictures of Coleman family homes are likewise "windows to the soul". Lastly, it was once said that, "Purity of writing is purity of the soul". Thus, the handwriting samples in this book add to the reader's understanding of the Coleman soul."Family genealogical histories can range from fanciful collections of myth and supposition to detailed works of historic research. James M Coleman's book is clearly in the latter category" as per Robert P. Winthrop, a partner at Winthrop, Jenkins, and Associates, a Virginia based architecture firm specializing in historic renovation. Historic buildings have been Mr. Winthrop's focus in numerous writings and lectures.

Trans-Atlantic Sojourners
Author: Neely Young
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 9780977722068
Category : African American families
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Unique in its formation and in a citizenry made up largely of repatriated ex-slaves, Liberia has been the scene of a fascinating intercontinental history. Trans-Atlantic Sojourners enters this history through the experiences of one Americo-Liberian family. M. Neely Young introduces us to two patriarchs, both former slaves--Othello Richards of Rockbridge County, Virginia, and William Coleman of Fayette and Woodford Counties, Kentucky. From their arrival in the new African republic in the 1850s until the overthrow of Americo-Liberian rule in 1980, the family played a key role in the nation's economic affairs, representing the interests of the interior agriculturalists against the merchant elites of Monrovia, and was prominent as well in Liberia's political and cultural arenas. The author traces the family over a number of generations, revealing a course as dramatic as that of the country itself. With the violent upheaval of the 1980s, most of Richards' and Coleman's descendants escaped to America; in the time since, some have recently returned to Liberia. Encompassing the issues of slavery, white and black colonization, the tensions within the Americo-Liberian class, and the Liberian concept of "black republicanism," this family's narrative reflects historical patterns in Liberia and America that resonate to today.

Book Description
The American Odyssey of the Coleman brothers, all from England, began in 1637 with the arrival of Robert Coleman. Robert was named as one of forty headrights of Colonel William Farrar II. While some 1,932 descendants and related family members of Robert Coleman are included in this book, those in the states of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina are particularly highlighted. The author's objective is to help the reader develop insights into the soul and the day-to-day life of Coleman family members. The hundreds of family member photographs add much to these insights since "the eyes are the windows to the soul". In addition, since the soul of architecture is closely integrated with the souls of the inhabitants who interact within the space they occupy, the pictures of Coleman family homes are likewise "windows to the soul". Lastly, it was once said that, "Purity of writing is purity of the soul". Thus, the handwriting samples in this book add to the reader's understanding of the Coleman soul."Family genealogical histories can range from fanciful collections of myth and supposition to detailed works of historic research. James M Coleman's book is clearly in the latter category" as per Robert P. Winthrop, a partner at Winthrop, Jenkins, and Associates, a Virginia based architecture firm specializing in historic renovation. Historic buildings have been Mr. Winthrop's focus in numerous writings and lectures.
