Biographical Note

The Charette de la Contrie were a prominent family in French history, a noble family that played a major role in the Vendee rebellion that supported the monarchy and the Catholic Church against the forces of the French Republic in the 1790s. Francois-Athanase de Charette was executed in 1796 for his role in leading the rebellion. The papers continue as the family become related to the royal family through Amy Brown and her children in the early 19 th century.

In the middle years of the 19 th century Athanase-Charles-Marie de Charette, the great nephew of Francois-Athanase de Charette, also rose to notoriety as a member of the Papal Zouaves defending the Pope in Italy. The Zouaves later fought the Prussians in the Franco-Prussian war at the battle of Liogny-Poupry. Athanase-Charles-Marie de Charette became known as the General Baron de Charette and a hero of the war as well as a defender of the Catholic Church. He made a tour of French Canada and remained involved in the reunions of the Zouaves in France until his death in 1911.

The General Baron’s son, Charles-Antoine (Tony) de Charette married Susanne Henning from Shelby County, Kentucky and they had one child, Susanne. de Charette served in the French Army in the First World War in the first French Armored unit as a tank driver. After the war, he became a dealer in antique documents and divorced Susanne. During the Second World War, Tony served in the Red Cross during the occupation and liberation of France. He died in 1947. His daughter married Ronald Reginald Van Stockum, who later retired from the United States Marine Corps as a Brigadier General.

Biographical Note

Martha Alberta Butt was born in 1892 to Dr. Albert L. and Elizabeth D. Townsend Butt, possibly in Logan County, Kentucky. Throughout her life, she collected and compiled genealogical data for various Kentucky families, including her own, and collected information on Kentucky state and church history. In particular, she focused on the Red River Church, Graveyard, and Meeting House, where the Great Revival of 1800 occurred. The culmination of her research came in the form of a manuscript entitled The Old Red River Meeting House and Morton Maulding’s Fort, in which she detailed the history of the church, its grounds, and the revival that took place there. Martha B. Cheek, as she was known after her marriage to Francis J. Cheek in 1924, served in the Red River Memorial Association, getting the organization statewide and national recognition. Even in her old age, despite illnesses and injuries, she continued her research by assisting people with their family genealogy. She passed away in 1987, at the age of 94.

Coleman-Pauley Family Papers, 1860-1999

Held by The Filson Historical Society

Creator: Coleman-Pauley family

Title: Papers, 1860-1999

Rights: For information regarding literary and copyright interest for these papers, contact the Curator of Special Collections.

Size of Collection: 2 cubic feet

Location Number: Mss./A/C692

Scope and Content Note

Collection includes correspondence, genealogy, newspaper articles, and other items related to the Coleman and Pauley families of both Pikeville and Louisville, Kentucky. The correspondence consists primarily of personal letters sent to Dr. Foster and Autheilia (Pauley) Coleman. These letters primarily discuss family concerns but touch upon topics such as World War II, Pike County elections, national politics, and religion. Also included with the collection are various medical articles written by Dr. Coleman, Pike County campaign posters, sermon excerpts, and religious notes.

Biographical Note

The collection contains correspondence, newspaper clippings, and campaign posters related to two prominent Pikeville families, the Colemans and the Pauleys. The Coleman family owned and operated a local department store and George Coleman, a banker, served a term as Pike Country treasurer. Members of the Pauley family operated a drugstore and Hi Pauley served in various elected positions within Pike County. These positions included mayor, county treasurer and county judge. The two families were united through the marriage of their children, Foster Coleman and Autheilia Pauley. After their marriage in the early 1930s, the young couple moved to Louisville, Kentucky in order for Foster to attend medical school. After finishing his degree, they remained in Louisville and Autheilia began to work as a teacher. A majority of the collection is family correspondence mailed to Foster and Autheilia. Foster Colemen, born in 1910, died suddenly in April 1972. Autheilia Coleman, two years Foster’s junior, passed away in May 2005.
