We learn from Bristol Parish Register that Francis (Jr.) and Mary Coleman had a daughter, Amy, born in 1718, and a son, William, born 1733. This would be "just right" for the William Coleman of Fairfield County, South Carolina, who was upwards of ninety in 1824. Families being of the size they were in those days, it would appear that the couple did not go childless for fifteen years and that there were children who did not happen to have their names entered on the Parish Register.
