HISTORY OF NANTUCKET
COLEMAN
Thomas Coleman* was the original man of the name to be connected with affairs in Nantucket. Coffin's History of Newbury states that he came from Wittshire, England, in 1635. He first settled in Newbury. According to the Records of the Town of Newbury he was engaged by Richard Saltonstall and others in England and America in November, 1635, "for the keeping of horses and sheep in a general place for the space of three years." His work proved unsatisfactory, and each of the contractors . was authorized to provide for his own. In the original purchase of the Island, Thomas Coleman was chosen by John Swain as his partner. At what time he removed to the Island is not clear but evidently it was very early. At a meeting of the Town, March 4, 1663, it was voted that "John Coleman shall have land Lay out on the North side of the lots of Robert Barnard for the use of the said John Coleman, his father Thomas Coleman having given half of his ac- commodation on the Island half the house lot to be Layd out in the place before mentioned for John Coleman, the aforesaid Thomas Coleman doth Lay down one half of his Lot already Layd out." In October, 1664, the Town chose Richard Swain and Thomas Cole- man Surveyors of Highways. It may be assumed then that he was a resident as early at least as 1664. His first wife's name was Susanna and she died November 17, 1650. He married (July 11, 1651) Mary, widow of Edmund Johnson. She died at Hampton, January 30, 1663. He married a third time-to Mar- gery-(Ashbourne according to some authorities) .; His children were-by Susanna: Benjamin, born May 1, 1640; Joseph, born De- cember 2, 1642; John, born 1644; Isaac, born February 20, 1647; } (probably by Mary) Joanna, (by the third wife) Tobias, Thomas died in 1685, aged 83 years.
Joseph married Ann Bunker, daughter of George, Senior; Isaac was drowned with John Barnard and his wife, June 6, 1669, while coming from the Vineyard in a canoe; John married (probably in 1666) Joanna Folger, daughter of Peter, Senior; Tobias mar- ried Lydia Osborne, daughter of Thomas's wife. He had one

?"Early Settlers of Nantucket," p. 61. This would seem to be an error as a letter from (Rev.) Thomas Osborne dated Nantucket 25th, 8 mo. 1682, written to George Little (Rev) and quoted by Joshua Cof- fin in the Historic Genealogical Register for Jan. 1862, in which Osborne, who is a Baptist minister, mentions his own marriage to Margery Coleman, widow of Thomas. Margery, whose maiden name is not given, married-first-Osgood; second, Thomas Rowell; third, Thomas Coleman; fourth, Thomas Osborne-certainly showing a marked preference for Thomas as a name to cling to.

daughter Deborah, born in Nantucket, May 25, 1676, and re- moved with his family at an early period to Martha's Vineyard.
Joseph had but one son, who was born November 17, 1673 and was drowned in his boyhood. A daughter Ann, born November 10, 1675, who married Edward Allen was his only other child.
The family in Nantucket then may properly be said to have descended from John and Joanna.
Mr. Worth says,* Thomas' house lot "was 1,000 feet square, bounded on the north by the lot of Christopher Hussey, on the east by the Long Woods and on the South by the lot of Capt. Pyke." It was about half a mile southwest from the north head of the Hummock Pond. On his decease the house and lot descended to Tobias. Joseph's lot was located at High Cliff, which Mr. Worth thinks locates it in the section west of the estate of the late Charles O' Connor Esq. John's house lot was a little west of the Elihu Coleman house, comprised ten acres and extended southeast to Robert Barnard's lot.
JOHN [1]
married (probably in 1666) Joanna Folger, daughter of Peter, Senior. The Probate Court Records show that in the settling of John's estate, December 7, 1715, there were eight children:
i John, born August 2, 1667; married (1694) Priscilla Starbuck, daughter of Nathaniel and Mary.
ii Jeremiah, born probably in 1668; married (20th, 11 mo. 1714-15) Sarah Pratt.
