Coleman Jr. was related to the family of U.S. War Secretary Major General Henry Dearborn (1751-1829) by his marriage to Julia Wingate Boyd, daughter of Annette Maria Dearborn Boyd.

Gen. Henry Dearborn was on President George Washington's staff during the Revolutionary War and Asa Clapp served as a soldier during the Revolutionary War from 1776-1779.
