Ann S. Coleman married (1) William A. Price on 20 Mar 1826. William's will was proven in Pittsylvania Co., VA, 16 Apr 1827. It was written 13 Mar 1827 and named a "child yet unborn". That child, born 1827, was named William A. Price. Ann married (2) widower James Blair on 23 Oct 1832. James Blair's 1st wife Polly Dickinson died 24 Mar 1831 (in the Family Bible). That family Bible in the possession of Martha Blair Hylton in Danville, VA, records that James Blair married (1) Polly Dickinson on 01 Apr 1796. She was the daughter of Francis Dickinson. The Bible also records a date of birth for Drury Blair as 20 Mar 1801, the marriage of Drury and Chloe Coleman on 08 Nov 1827, and that Drury died 02 Sep 1864. Note that Chloe Coleman is the sister of Ann Coleman. So James Blair married the older, widowed sister of his son's wife. Drury reported Chloe's death of typhoid on 12 Sep 1854 (Death Register of Pittsylvania Co., VA, p. 15, line 168). Per the Bible, James Blair had 4 children by his first wife Polly, and 1 by Ann Coleman. His child with Ann Coleman was son James Young Blair. The Bible gives the last names of 3 wives for James Young Blair, a Soyars, a Thomas, and a Willis. James Blair Marriage1Ann S. Coleman b: 1788 Marr: 23 OCT 1832 Children 1.
