Hello,
I have a lot of info on Nathan after he was married but nothing before. I obtained a copy of a hand-written history of his family from the Flower Memorial Library in Watertown that shows he had a brother named Ezra and a sister named "Sabria". Coincidentally, there is a database on Rootsweb World Connect Project posted by W.T. (Bill) Cole stating that Ezra Cole, born 1751 and Sabra Patchen, born about 1758 were married in Wilton, CT on Dec 21, 1744 and they had children, among others, named Nathan, Sabra, Ezra. No actual dates of birth are given for the children just their year of birth (1782, 1796, 1799, respectively). My Nathan Cole died July 8, 1861 and his headstone says he was 82 years of age at death so this would put his year of birth at 1778 or 1779. Still...there's something to this and it bears further research!! The name Sabra is quite uncommon!!
By the way, the Cole history from Flower Library states that Nathan also had "half" brothers and sisters as follows:
Ruby, married James Eaton and they had a child, Sarah; John; Nnice Williams (not sure what this means).
Since I originally posted the message you replied to, I have learned that Sally Cole's married name was Govin, not Gowings. She was the 8th child of Philip and Mary Cole and was born in Wells, Vermont in 1793.
Hope to hear back from you as to what your connection is to Nathan Cole.
Best regards,
Randy Cole

Randy,

I am investigating the same Nathan Cole as you are, at least the dates match exactly!! I believe I can respond to almost everything you mentioned. It will take me a little time and so I will draft a document that I can attach to an e-mail. I think I can use this web site to do that.

Thanks for your prompt response. I will send you some goodies shortly.

I have Joseph & Nancy Goings in Loudoun County, VA, one of their sons is Lawson Goings (b. 1806) who married Sarah Hart. I am trying to find out how Luke and Joseph are related, either as brothers for Luke depending on age, could be parent.
