Is this the same William?

Hmmm, Loyalist leanings. Assuming that this is the same William Coleman who did serve in the Rev. from Burlington Co, he certainly changed his mind. Note that this will give an original signature of this William.

Pay attention, likely NOT the same, but use this to help differentiate:

I have posted this previously, but since it has been a while I will do it again. I'm still looking for any infomation about the father of my g-g-g-grandmother,William Coleman, who according to family legend may have been born
in Newark, New Jersey. He evidently moved to Berks County, Pennsylvania, probably in the vicinity of Reading before the Revolutionary War broke out, as he served in the Berks County, PA, militia during the war. Also this is
reportedly where Nancy, my g-g-g-grandmother was born. We've been unable to find any information about any of the family except John W., his daughter Phoebe, and Nancy. I'm hoping there is another Coleman descendant tracing the same line. Thank you in advance for any help you can give. I will be glad to exchange information and sources with you.
