Found these Coles on the 1850 Lincoln CO. TN census. They were living very near each other:

Does anyone know these people? I am thinking maybe the above 14 yr old Mary could be the one I am looking for. The tenant family living on the Cole farm were the Wheeler's with Drury, 21, who married a Mary C. Cole in 1851 and
moved to Texas.
