One final ‘claim to fame’ which may be attributed to Colman, and which also should serve to excite and inspire his prodigious offspring to a modest measure of pride, comes from the genealogical record of Eliza Starbuck Barney:
Thomas Coleman
M. b. 1602, d. 1682, # 7699
* Attributes “Thomas Coleman was the first of Nantucket, came here in 1660 with his family...” “He arrived in Boston June 3, 1635…”
* Immigration. He immigrated in 1660. “The first of Nantucket, came herein 1660 with his family. Death. He died in 1682.”
According to a certain professor, popular mid-western educator and anthropologue, and quite contrary to popular opinion, “history does not repeat itself; rather, history is cyclical.” It is certainly valid to suggest that human beings are inevitably marked by the generational chemistry, or crucible of events and circumstances in which their predecessors were principal participants, and whose character traits and tendencies they may have, to some indefinable extent, imbibed, or quite involuntarily or unknowingly inherited as part of their own experience. Such a supposition seems to make sense.
