25th. John Daniel Coleman, son of George W. Coleman and Sarah Hunt Coleman, was born in 1835, making him 11 years old as of this entry. I doubt that JWG bought a horse from him. George's father was Daniel Coleman; I find no evidence of his name being John Daniel. I can't find any other mention of a different John Daniel Coleman, but I'm reluctant to index this one as an 11-year-old.
