George Coleman’s maternal grandfather was Edward Prime; christened 13 Oct. 1703 died before 1800, of Barrington, son of Thomas Prime born about 1661 and Elizabeth Betany (or Batang) both of Barrington, Cambridgeshire, England. Earlier progenitors are not known to the writer at this time.
Neither are the details of much of George Coleman’s life and experiences preserved for us. We do know that his father died when he was 15 years old. When he was about twenty-one he married Sarah Prime on the 25th of September 1786. Her birth date was Jan 4, 1761 and she died June 1824.
George Coleman and his wife became the parents of eighteen children though only six reared to maturity. Two sets of twins, and a set of triplets arrived at their farm home in Arlsey in Bedfordshire England between the years of 1785 and 1802.
The eighteenth child was Prime Coleman born 20 Jan 1802
George Coleman 1765-1811 left a will, which indicated he was a prosperous farmer for the time and place in which he lived. The will was proved Jan. 13, 1813 and a microfilm copy is on file at the Salt Lake Genealogical Library.
