PJ,

Robert Coleman ("I") married Elizabeth Grizzell in the 1600s, and they had a 
son (among other children, including a Daniel Coleman) who was also named 
Robert Coleman ("II") who married Ann Spilsby/Spilsbe.  If you run into the 
"Grizzell" or "Spilsby/Spislbe" used as a given name, you can be almost 
certain that it "traces back" to the above families.  The Daniel Coleman who 
married Patience Elliott was a descendant of Robert Coleman and Elizabeth 
Grizzell.  There are over 300 "files/charts" on this family at RootsWeb 
WorldConnect....like this one:

and this one:

This shows that the Daniel who married Miss Elliott was a son of an older 
Daniel Coleman, and a grandson of Robert Coleman and Elizabeth Grizzell.  It 
also shows that Daniel and Patience (Elliott) Coleman had a daughter named 
Grizzell Coleman who married William Edwards.  Perhaps one of the many files 
within RootsWeb World Connect will have some useful information on this 
Edwards family.
