Hi Cole Researchers,
Will re-post for any newcomers, since I haven't had any luck so far with
finding my connecting link.
I have Charles Cole married to Sarah ?
Child of Charles and Sarah Cole is;
James Cole, born 1805-1807, Virginia
James Cole, (s/o Charles) was born 1805-1807, Virginia. He married (1)
Lydia Howell, May 1, 1826 in Grayson County, Virginia, daughter of
William Howell. He married (2) Margaret Carico 1859.
Child of James and Lydia Cole is;
William Cole, born abt. 1830 in Virginia
William Cole (s/o James, grandson/o Charles) , born 1830 in Virginia.
He married Elizabeth "Betsy" Hall, August 10, 1856 in Grayson County,
Virginia, daughter of John Hall and Sally Bedwell.
Child of William and Elizabeth Cole is;
Lydia Curilda Cole, born October 30, 1856, Grayson County,
Virginia, died May 2, 1917
Lydia Curilda Cole (d/o William, granddaughter/o James, ggranddaughter/o
Charles) married George Washington Owens, February 28, 1877 in Grayson
County, Virginia, s/o James W. Owens and Anne Leath
Children of George and Lydia Owens are;
1. George Thomas Edd Owens, b. February 20, 1893; d. November

Grayson Co. Va.
5. Lellie Zara Dell Owens, b. July 5, 1898; d. August 9, 1898
I found it most interesting that all of George and Lydia's children have
3 names, but I only know the full name of George (my father-in-law) and
Lellie, though I do know the initials of the other three.
If anyone recognizes any of these names, please e-mail me.

I've been a Cole all my life and can attest to the fact that
most of them are a little strange, perhaps eccentric is a
better word. My ggg-grandfather signed everything E.P.
(Edward Paine)Cole, and one of his sons went by M.V.B. Cole
(Martin Van Buren) and another by J.C. Cole (John Conger);
however, try as he might, the youngest could not get others
to call him C.C. Cole (Christopher Columbus) and he was
known by relatives and neighbors alike as "Clum." My uncle
was another C.C. Cole (Clyle Clayton [yes, Clyle, not
Clyde]) and I've been known for years as J.T. Cole (Jack
Timothy). I've noticed a penchant among my Cole ancestors
for strange names: Carthaette (I've never found another
although she was known as Etta), my uncle Clyle, Bethuel,
Hansford, Valentine Rue. Or the combinations: my uncle
Clum's siblings -- David Payne, John Conger, Andrew
Jackson, Giles Edward, Martin Van Buren, Christopher
Columbus, and Lois Letitia -- such a mixture of the famous
with the common. Throughout the entire family, not one
Junior (except as a name) -- no one was named after his
father except as only one of the names -- no II's, III's, or
IV's. For which I'm rather thankful.
My ggg-grandfather's suicide letter (I have the original)
has a sentence in it that says, "This is of my own doing.
Don't make any fuss about, just bury me and put on the stone
'In this hole lies E.P. Cole.'" I checked, it's not on his
tomb stone.

Subject: COLE'S GIVEN NAMES
My grandfather was JAMES B. (Brady) COLE, b. 1886 in Troy,
Pikes Co., AL. His
father was ROBERT A. COLE (b. abt. 1840-50).
Would like to correspond with Cole's whose ancestors /
current family members
go by "initials" instead of their given names. There has to
be a connection
of the Cole's in this aspect. My mother, being a "Cole"
came from a family of
14 children and all of the men in the family, including my
grandfather were
called by their initials, i.e. James Brady was "J.B.", Lloyd
David is "L.D.",
Henry Bascom was "H.B." etc.
"Bascom" being an unusual name has to have merit with

Responding to Seauall(a)aol.com of 2-28-99:
My gggrandfather is listed as L.N.B. Cole and is thought to have been in

Dear Nancy <LaFonn(a)aol.com>,
Be optimistic!! I think miracles happen! I looked on the map and
it looks like Highland Park, Mich. is in Wayne Co. just below Oakland
County, Michigan where my gr grandmother, Addie Barrett COLE was born in
1842.
I've been researching in Highland twp, Oakland Co., Mich. the family of
my Addie Barrett who married in 1861 in Ohio, my gr grandfather, William
Franklin Cole. I don't know how my Addie Barrett met Wm. F. Cole but
some of her relatives owned Michigan Manufacturing and Lumber Company .
Among its products, this company manufactured floor trucks for the use in
factories which they sold to wholesale dealers. I've learned that Wm and
Addie's son, my grandfather, William Barrett Cole started a nursery
business (Cole's Nursery) in Perry & Painesville, Ohio which was the
largest (or 2nd largest) in the U.S. until the depression.
Here is an Orin Cole family living next to Barretts in 1845 and 1860
that I don't know recognize nor do I know from whom they descended:
1845 Highland Twp, Oakland Co, Michigan:
Orrin COLE: males: under 10 yr = 1; 10-21 yrs = 2; 21-45 yrs= 2;
females under 10 yrs = 3, 10-21 yrs = 1, fe 45-75 yrs = 1 . (This is a
total of 5 sons & 4 daughters with parents who are probably at least in
their mid 30's)
In 1860 in Highland Twp the same Orin Cole family is still living next to
Barretts:
COLE, Orin 58 farmer, 1800/1200 Ireland, Taner 60 h. keeper NY, Cloe 20
domestic MI, Hiram 20 f. laborer MI, Betsy 19 domestic MI, Emily 15
domestic MI, Charles LOCKWOOD 22 f. laborer MI, James BULLARD 2 MI.
"Thaddeus D. Seeley compiled a book published in 1912, the "History of
Oakland County, Michigan", that contained Barrett info. Maybe it has
some Cole info too.
Perhaps your Cohen's were Jewish. I'm researching Polish Jews, (my
daughter's husband's family-GOODMAN & ROSENBLOOM) who emigrated from
Poland to America in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Henry and Anita
Goodman came from Poland directly to Baltimore, Maryland
Good luck in your search, Nancy. Mary Kay COLE Ward-Richmond, VA
Nancy <LaFonn(a)aol.com>
< My father was Jack Lional Cole, born in Highland Park, Michigan in
1921. His father was Benjamin Arron (B.A) Cole born in Baltimore,
Maryland approximately 1886. It is my understanding that my grandfather
changed his name to Cole from Cohen. I was told he had three brothers
and one sister, Bessie Cohen, who resided in the Chicago area for most of
her adult life. One of the brothers was Arthur Giddon Cole, who was said
to be a Professor of Chemistry at one of the major universities in
Illinois. He was said to have a degree of prominence, as he discovered
something related to the protein content found within the chemistry
makeup of eggs. Another brother I was told was named Phil (?) Cohen, no
additional information on him and none concerning the third brother.
The limited amount of information I have suggests that my
g-grandfather was
named Jacob Arron Cohen who, it is to my understanding was not born in
America, but came from either Germany or Poland. His real name was said
to be Jacob Arron Sofher (Sofher supposedly being the name given to a
Polish fabric dealer, which was his trade). I do not have any
information concerning my g-grandmother except that her name was Sara and
she was from Berlin.
I have attempted (more times than I care to mention) to locate any
relative
information on my family but to no avail. Every avenue I've tried comes
up a
dead end. My last hope is the possibility that someone on this list
might be
able to offer some suggestions as to where I might attempt to begin
unraveling
this mystery. If so, it would be appreciated more than I could ever say.
Warm regards, Nancy

I have just joined the list.
I have just found my Cole connection. Now I need further help.
My grandmother was May Belle Locklin b. April, 1874 Machiasport, ME d. April
5, 1941 Newport, RI
Her parents: Michael Locklin/Lachlin b. 1839 Limerick, Ireland
Mary Jane Thompson b. April 9, 1841 Machias, ME d. June 24, 1909
4 children
Mary Jane's parents were: Henry Thompson and Phebe Cole who was born in
Harrington, ME (Phebe).
Phebe's father is probably JOHN COLE and his father is probably EBENEZER
COLE, SR m. ELIZABETH HALL. I have handed down notes that elude to their
relationship with James Cole of Plymouth. Also I hear there is a Thomas
Walcott connection but unsure if through Cole or Thompson.
If anyone knows of this line, has suggestions or follows this line, please
contact me. By the way, there are no records of Phebe being born in
Harrington, ME but her daughter's death Cert (Mary Jane) reveals that is where
her mother was born. There was one family of Cole in Harrington in the
1800/1810/1820 Census and this was Ebenezer Cole, Sr.
Thank you.

There are 2 Coles listed in Biographical Souvenir of the State of
Texas published in 1889.
James H. Cole of Ladonia, Fannin Co. TX having lived there since
1855. Born in Lexington, KY July 29, 1823. His parents were Jacob
and Talitha Hardester Cole. His father was from MD and mother from
KY. He was the second of 4 children. He married Zerelda E.,
daughter of Gen. Sam Houston. Zerelda died in 1876. They had 8
children: Eugene G., Samuel H., Leslie Lee, James H., Willie M.,
Virgil M., Alice N. and Lelia Lee.
T.U. Cole (includes a picture) lived in Honey Grove. He was born
there August 12, 1861, son of U.T. and Mary E. Stobaugh Cole. His
father was born in Davidson Co. TN in 1811 and came to Texas in
1859. T.U. was an only child.
I hope this is helpful to someone.

Beginning about March 1st, possibly a few days later, the LDS Church will

They would like everyone to try it out and respond! After the short beta

Rossiter Cole -- who is he? ca. 1870 - 1930 (?), Chicago
I came across this name among pictures of members of the
Cliff Dwellers club in Chicago. The photos were from the
early 1900's. The Cliff Dwellers has been an exclusive
organization of literary types from the Chicago, Indiana,
and Wisconsin area but not limited to that region. The
walls are filled with autographed, first editions of their
works, nearly all of them quite recognizable to a high
school literature class.
I hope to track this fellow down but wanted to throw the
name into the list in case someone might know him. The name
Rossiter is undoubtedly take from the New England surname
Rossiter and obviously connotes some close connections to
that family. From what I know of this organization,
Rossiter Cole should have some claim to fame and be somewhat
traceable.
Anyone familiar with the man or the name?

Dear Charles,
No, never have seen Charles nor Frank occur in my Cole line. But the
name "Franklin" and "Merritt" pops up! I have been trying to find more
about the following exerpt which was sent to me by the Gorham, NY town
historian:
"In the 1983 "History of Ontario County", there is a family sketch of
D. Merritt Cole. Willard Cole was born in Massachusetts and came
to Gorham, NY in 1820. Willard's son, George W. Cole was born
in Mass in 1814."
Willard Cole is from my Cole line.
I'd like to find more about "D. Merritt Cole". On the 1870 Gorham,
NY census in Dwelling 132 are 2 families: Family # 140 is Merritt D.
Cole is 27 yrs old, farmer, b. NY with Rachel Cole 21 keeping house b. NY
and A. Robinson Cole 1 yr., b. NY. Family # 141 is George W. Cole Jr. 29
farmer b NY and Caroline P 22 keeping house b. NY.
I think these are sons of George W. Cole, Sr. and grandsons of Willard
Cole.
Any ideas? Mary Kay COLE Ward-Richmond, VA

Does anyone have a copy of the Eddy Cole probate records? He was born in
Swansea, Ma. son of Caleb Cole, on April 7, 1738. He married Ruth Salisbury
and they lived in Warren, Rhode Island and moved to Pittstown, New York.
He ended up in Northampton, New York dying in 1814. I would appreciate any

Hello,
I am new to the list and I trust that I will be doing this submission
correctly.
I am searching for my Cole relatives on my father's side however my past
experience with it has been like finding a needle in a haystack. I'm doubtful
that I will ever discover who my family truly was nevertheless, here is my
family history. They say that miracles do happen!!
My father was Jack Lional Cole, born in Highland Park, Michigan in 1921. His
father was Benjamin Arron (B.A) Cole born in Baltimore, Maryland approximately
1886. It is my understanding that my grandfather changed his name to Cole
from Cohen. I was told he had three brothers and one sister, Bessie Cohen,
who resided in the Chicago area for most of her adult life. One of the

Phil (?) Cohen, no additional information on him and none concerning the third
brother.
The limited amount of information I have suggests that my g-grandfather was

America, but came from either Germany or Poland. His real name was said to be
Jacob Arron Sofher (Sofher supposedly being the name given to a Polish fabric

Dear Vesti,
I think it's possible that a "bunch" of the NY Coles came to NY
together on a ship. I believe mine came to NY from Massachusetts. Good
luck with your search!
With regards, Mary Kay COLE Ward of Richmond, VA

Dear Jim Long <jlongmus(a)home.com>,
You wrote: >What else do you have on our Cyrus Cole? (parents,

giving you more than you EVER wanted to know, I'm sending the following.
Please respond.
With hopes that we connect! Mary Kay COLE Ward <mksroots(a)juno.com>
Cyrus C. Cole b. abt 1812 in Mass, the oldest son of Willard and Hannah
Cole was a cousin of my gr gr grandfather, Gilbert Cole b. 13 Dec 1813
Gorham, Ontario Co, NY. Their father's-Jonathan and Willard Cole- were
brothers, sons of John and Hannah Cole.
I thought if I found more about Cyrus C. Cole, I could find more
about my Cole ancestry. The Gorham town historian, Mary Mellious, wrote
me this:
"Cyrus Cole, acc. to a former historian, lived in Rushville
(Ontario/ Yates Co. line) and built brick houses:
"America's First Rushville" by Robert Moody, pg 81."
1850 Census, Gorham, Ontario Co, NY; dwelling 149; family 149:
Cyrus C. Cole 38 farmer & mechanic-b. Mass.
value of Real estate 4125; Charity 37 b. NY;
Sylvia A. 15 b. NY; Franklin 8 b. NY;
William W. 7 b. NY; Marshall Hunt 21 Carpenter b. NY
I hope the following format in which I've tried to represent my ancestors
is understandable. I'm new at this! I've only been able to trace my
COLE's back to 1. John b. 19 Apr 1744 & Hannah Cole b. 31 Mar 1746 of
Gorham, Ontario County, NY who were married about 1765. Several
generations of their descendents lived there. My line descended from
Gilbert Cole who moved when he was 19 yrs old in 1832 to Colebrook,
Ashtabula County, OHIO and later to Painesville, Lake County, OHIO where
I grew up.
1. John and Hannah Cole had 2 known children (Jonathan and Willard):
2. Jonathan b. abt 1770 in Mass. m. Mary "Polly" Ann Brewer b.1773 NH
they had 5 known children in Gorham, Ontario Co., NY
3. Willard b. est 1793 m. Hannah P. _?_
3. William b. est 1795
3. Hervey b. est 1797
3. Melinda Sally b. 8 Nov 1803 m. 15 Dec 1847 Roland A. Treat.
3. Gilbert b. 13 Dec 1813 m.1835 in Colebrook,Ashtabula Co,OH
+ Sarah "Sallie" Owens. They had 4 known children in OHIO:
4. William Franklin b. 1839 Colebrook, Ashtabula Co. OH; d. 1865
4. Mary b. est 1837
4. Dudley b. est. 1843 d. 1880
4. Cyrus Owen Cole b. 1845 d. 1849
2. Willard b. 1779 m. Hannah P. Chapman; 5 known children
in Gorham, Ontario, NY
3. Cyrus C. b. est 1812 m. Charity
3. George W. b.est 1814 m. Sarah Ann
3. Esther A. b. est 1813 m. James Wightman
3. Hannah P. b. est 1816
3. Amanda M. b. est 1817
Willard Cole b. June or July 1779 died 30 Dec 1845 at the age of 66
yrs. 6 months and was buried in Gorham, NY in Baldwin's Corners Cemetery
as was his wife Hannah P. Chapman b. 1779 and d. 9 May 1844, the daughter
of Ezra and Esther Chapman per cemetery records. According to Willard's
will recorded in Ontario County, he gave his wife Hannah his house and
farm consisting of 50 acres in Gorham, witnessed by James C. Cody, and
Hiram and Eliza Harkness. Their children were Esther A.Whiteman (or
Wightman), Hannah P. Cole, Amanda M. Cole, George W. Cole and Cyrus C.
Cole.
Willard's two sons Cyrus and George W. are still in Gorham, NY on
the 1850 Gorham, NY census with their wives and children.
I haven't found Willard's son Cyrus C. Cole after the 1850 Gorham
census: Cyrus C. Cole b. 1812 his wife, Charity b. 1813, dau. Sylvia A.
Cole b. 1835, son Franklin Cole b. 1842, and son William Cole b. 1843.
Willard's son George W. Cole Sr. and family are still in Gorham, NY
in 1850 & 1860: wife Sarah Ann, George W. b 1840; Daniel M b 1843; Mary
A. b 1849. By 1870 George [a farmer] and "Ann S" are living alone in
Gorham (per census) with Real estate valued 8400 and personal estate
valued 1200.
My gr gr grandfather, Gilbert Cole b. 1813 moved from Gorham to
Colebrook, Ohio when he was 19 years old (about 1832). About 1830 his
sister Melinda Sally Cole and her husband, Roland TREAT had moved there
from Gorham with their 4 children. Gilbert Cole lost his wife and his
oldest son (26 year old William Franklin Cole) the fall of 1865 within a
month of each other. Then he moved from Ohio to Whiteside County,
Illinois and by Oct. 1866 he had remarried there a woman 20 years younger
than himself. He died in Whiteside County, Illinois in 1873.

previous COLE msg. Thanks

dtr of Charles Warren Marlin, also of Grundy Co MO. but who moved h is
family to Deepwater by 1909, which was shown by letters from/to
