Notes

1605. Angelina Hawes Gatewood

In a letter to Mrs. Reba Fitzpatrick Lea dated 13 Nov 1950,
Judge S. B. Coleman said his great-grandmother, Angelina H. G.
Coleman, was a lady of definite opinions which she never
hesitated to express. ÒAngieÓ was said to have a fiery temper.
The slaves could tell when ÒOld MissÓ had her Òdander upÓ
because their ÒOld MasterÓ would get his horse and ride around
the plantation for an hour or two until she calmed down.

Thomas Stokely Coleman

After their fatherÕs death, Thomas and Harrison divided the home
plantation between them. Thomas acquired the portion south of
the Mat River, and Harrison received the portion north of the
river. (DB HH, p. 311, Spotsylvania Co.)
