Colman P. L. Dr. Father of the Man

Such disjointed minutia may only have a superficial bearing on the present story, but one can hardly ignore the juxtaposition of colorful detail, and what would appear to be the providential overlapping of interconnecting elements of an ever-unfolding series of events. In any case, Thomas Colman, resident of Newbury, and later, Hampton, could scarcely have predicted the direction of his uncelebrated progeny, the Colman clan of Auburn, New Hampshire, which, after a long and relatively sedentary succession of farmers and craftsmen (and women), would eventually sink their simple, resilient roots into the rich, rocky soil of the hills overlooking Massebesic Lake.

Nor could the patriarch Colman have foreseen the birth of five strong sons in a small schoolhouse in the same village of Auburn. One of those sons, whose mother (Nellie Chase Moy), was also one of five beautiful sisters (her story is left for another day), was my father, Robert Everett Colman, the father I never knew. No one else will ever have cause to tell his story, so this is a story I must tell in order to understand my own, a grassroots story others may wish to enjoy as well, or may be inclined to examine to better understand their own fragile, and sometimes fractured journey through history.
