Deputy ClerkI had thought that William was born in Ashe County North Carolina but Otto
Coldiron says that it was Rowan. He also states he died 19 January 1876 at
Louisville, Jefferson, Kentucky but since he signed his will on 3 May 1877 this
cannot be true.Lived on Platts Fork of the Cumberland River. When daughter Arminta
was born on 4 Oct 1952, birth place is listed as Cumberland River."This man (Conrad Coldiron) had a son named William Coldiron who came
to Harlan Co., KY long before the Civil War and first located on Cranks
Creek of Martins Fork of the Cumberland River. He had a large family,
many sons and daughters. They did not stay long on Cranks Creek but
moved on down the Cumberland River and settled between Harlan and
Pineville, Ky." -- from a letter written by Dr. D. F. Coldiron to Leslie Ann
