ON THIS DAY GGG Grandfather Bella Millsap and GGG Grandfather Alexander Elic Coleman Were Born

Today is January 10th and I am featuring two of my great great great grandfathers. They were both born on this date and both are on my father's side of the family.
William Bella Millsap is on my father's father's side and Elic is on my father's mother's side.

Bella was born the 10 January 1797 in Green, Tennessee to Robert and Marcia Lacy Millsap. Bella was their first child born.
You can read more about the Millsap family by searching for the Millsap family link on my blog.

Alexander Elic Chalker Coleman was born in 1805 to Ebenezer and Lucy Hildreth Coleman in Connecticut. He was their 5th child.  You see what I have shared so far on Elic which is not a lot as of yet. Will have to do a time line on him soon.

If you think we are related through either family I would love to hear from you.
Thanks for stopping by, your friend in family research. Grace

ON THIS DAY LUCY HILDRETH WAS BORN IN 1787

On this day my 4th great grandmother Lucy HILDRETH was born in 1787 to William Hildreth 1736 - 1810 and Jo Anna Chalker 1748 - 1834.
Lucy is one of my grandmothers on my father's mothers side. She was born in Glastonbury, Hartford,Connecticut in 1787 and died in Mount Vernon, Knox, Ohio on 20th of February in 1853.
Lucy was married to Ebenezer Coleman. Ebenzer and Lucy had at least eight children Elisha, Chester , John , Hiram, James and Erastus and Elic Chalker being my ancestor.

So on this day I am thinking about grandma Lucy, wondering what she looked like, what she was like and what life was for her.
