I am researching the family of David L. COLE in Harrison / Crawford Counties of Indiana. David was born in East Tennessee on 16 May 1819 and died 26 Oct 1903 in Indiana. I am lead to believe that this was while the family was moving to Indiana...not sure if the story is true. David was the son of John COLE...not exactly sure sure of mother's name...she was believed to be an Indian. (I believe John COLE could have been married 3 times.)
David's siblings:
Elizabeth (b.1809), Jacob (b.1810), Sarah (b.abt1821), John (b.abt 1823), Nancy (b.abt 1834), Susannah (b.abt 1836), Catherine (b.unk; m.1847), Franky (b. unk; m.1850), Margaret (b.unk), and Mary Ann (b.unk m.1841).
I do have a little bit more information on the some of the siblings.
David's wives:
1st) Amelia Caroline BIRD (aka Millie C. Bird)
b.30 May 1828
m.24 Aug 1845
d.9 May 1897
Children: 10 (I do have info on children)
2nd) Mary Magdeline BRILES
b.23 Apr 1837
m.17 Apr 1898 (this was her 3rd marriage)
d. unk.
Children: none
Has anyone heard of this COLE family?
Thanks,
Jennie
