Comments: According to the pension files in the VA State Archives, William T. Coleman died in 1884. It appears that they were living in Free Union in Albemarle County Virginia at the time he died. The pension was dated 14 Feb 1913 so Dianna was still alive at that time. She was now living in Harrison, in Augusta County. The application states she is 74 years old.
