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.
