Hi, In the book Settlers, Southerns, Americans: The History of Essex County, Virginia by James B. Slaughter page 36 it reads "Robert Coleman, a Tappahannock merchant-planter around 1700, owned a planatation extending from present day Coleman's Island through the St. Margaret's School campus. Colemen, an Essex justice ad sheriff, owned a tavern at the northwest corner of Prince and Water Land and built a wharf at the end of Marsh Street." These are in the city of Tappahannock. It is a lovely town and at the corner restaurant is where the book was purchased a couple of years ago.
