In Response To: Re: Harry Warfield Coleman ()

I was named after Harry's brother James T Coleman by my father Charles Hamilton Coleman (birthname) who was the grandson of James T. My Sister Ellen and I do not have the funds to return Harry to the Nicholas D Coleman plot in Vicksburg Cedar Hill (from his resting place in the Fitz Randolph family plot in Easton PA. We periodically visit our people in the Vicksburg family plot whick my father bought a perpetual maintenance trust in 1952. We have an Easton PA attorney on standby and a detailed plan including an SCV honor guard but cannot afford the ~$15K budget. My cell is 408-733-9479 if anyone knows a potential sponsor. Carole Hefley wrote a book on Harry that is availably on Amazon. At 16 was the youngest Confederate officef to be captured at Port Hudson and died in Yankee prison because he refused to take the oath as long as his brother in law was fighting with the Trans Mississippi Army in Texas that did not surrender until 3 months after Harry's death. Paxton's book The Marshall Family is also a good source. They will not allow a Confederate flag at his gravesite in Pennsylvania. But they will in the Vicksburg plot which is near Soldier's Rest. I am certain in my heart this is what he would have wanted.
