Description: Theo Coleman met Meta Shaw in 1937. The Valdosta, Georgia couple fell in love and married, uniting the Shaw and Coleman families whose extended lineage runs deep throughout the Southern United States. In this work, author Daniel Coleman traces the ancestry of his Shaw and Coleman grandparents back to the early pre-Revolutionary War period. Farming families, timber men, business people-these early ancestors eventually settled in Georgia and Florida. This extended family, up through and including Theo and Meta and their children, create a rich tapestry of history. Written as a narrative history of this amazing cast of family members, Mr. Coleman also provides detailed genealogical data on each family's branch of the family tree.
