Possible Record
Thomas was named as Godson of Thomas Ray in Ray’s will dated 25 Aug 1654. He received a cow calf.[7]
While York County is across the river from Gloucester County, so relatively close, what suggests this is the same Thomas Coleman. Is there a family relationship with the Rays? Spratlin-29 23:45, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

US Southern Colonies Managed Profiles Needs Attention
The Parish records of the children's births appear to serve to deconflate these two Thomas Colemans, but this profile really needs a Will, Probate, or other death-related record.
1st Spouse and children Rebecca Ann Claiborne ?surname? 1650– Mary Coleman 1678–1723 Ann Coleman 1680–1762 Grizzell Coleman 1682–1701 Sarah Coleman 1687– Thomas Coleman Jr 1688–1781 John Coleman 1699–
2nd Spouse and children Mary Lort 1681–1748 Robert Coleman 1701–1793 Richard Lort Coleman 1706–1752 Lucy Coleman 1718–1761 Dorothy Dolly Coleman 1732–1809 Elizabeth 'Betty' Coleman
There are lowered numbered profiles for both Thomas and purported father Robert. The two Roberts are different enough to create concern.
There are 3 wives, but you didn't comment about disposition of Elizabeth.
And there are different but also overlapping children.
If any of these persons are conflated instead of duplicated, it will be difficult to unwind that after a merge.
I proposed to move these to unmerged matches, or reject the merges until they can be straighten out.
