Ralph L. Coleman, Jr. submitted information on James William Coleman to the migration pattern database at http://www.migrations.org. Ralph's analysis is that James came to Ohio between 1860 and 1865 based on birthdates and birthplaces of family members as listed in the 1880 Federal Census. After marrying Ida Bruner, James moved to Kansas-Missouri, where he reportedly died in an accident. Ida and the children relocated to the Daniel Bruner homestead in Concord Township, Champaign County, Ohio. The time spent in Kansas is collaborated by information in the death certificate of Viola Augusta Coleman. Her birthplace is listed as Kansas, and her date of birth was September 02, 1889.
