According to Paul Heinegg's website, Free African Americans of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, DANIEL COLEMAN, b. abt 1752, was from Petersburg, VA, descended from the Indian, JUDITH COLEMAN, b. abt 1700. I don't know who DANIEL COLEMAN may have been married to, the only indication of a possible wife is her age as listed n the 1820 and 1840 Census where the oldest female is shown born about 1790. By 1840, using the figures also from 1820, it appears that there were at least a total of 7 sons, the oldest born no earlier than 1806, and a total of 5 daughters, the oldest born no earlier than 1806. I do suspect that his wife may have been a HAWKINS or a HARWELL/HARVEY because I'm finding lots of records where these families, along with the COPELANDs, were related to one another from an earlier time which I don't see a record. DANIEL was dead by 1850, but there was a household headed by WIAT COLEMAN with several younger family members who were his siblings, as well as a few other COLEMANs nearby also siblings, all of which were named in DANIEL's will probated in 1849.
As an example, DANIEL COLEMAN was the bondsman to the marriage of DAVID HARWELL/HARVEY, brother of CHINA HARWELL:

   1. Judith, born say 1700, was an Indian or the descendant of an Indian brought into Virginia by Francis Coleman sometime after the year 1705 and held as a slave for her lifetime. Her descendants Dick and Pat, who were held as slaves by Coleman's descendants, sued for and won their freedom in a case which was affirmed on appeal in the Fall of the year 1793 [Catterall, Judicial Cases, I:101-2]. Other descendants won their freedom from Robert Hall of Dinwiddie County before 1 July 1789, from John Hardaway of Dinwiddie County before 16 August 1794, from Joseph Hardaway of Dinwiddie County in November 1797 and from John Wyche of Brunswick County in 1819. Judith was the ancestor of-
   
   iv. Daniel, born about 1752, registered in Petersburg on 10 February 1798: a dark Brown Free Negro, or Indian, six feet two inches high, about forty six years old, short bushy hair, a little grey, formerly held as a slave by Joseph Hardaway but obtained his freedom by a judgment of the Gen'l Court in Nov. 1797 [Register of Free Negroes 1794-1819, no. 132]. He was a ditcher living near George May when he was counted as a "free Negro and Mulatto" taxable in Dinwiddie County in 1801 [PPTL, 1800-9, B list, p.25]. He may have been the Daniel Coleman who was head of a Halifax County, North Carolina household of 6 "free colored" in 1820 [NC:143].
