My brick wall is Charles Cole b ca 1761. He shows up in Grayson County, VA in 1793 in some tax roles. He married Elizabeth Stoneman in 1795 in Grayson County, VA. Don't know where he came from or don't know any ancestors. I have lots and lots of descendants.

My gg grandfather David Cole is from Grayson. It is surmised that David is the s/o Charles Cole Jr. b ca 1806, who was the s/o the above Charles Cole. Charles Jr. married Elizabeth Haga in Grayson County, VA - 4 Mar 1830. David was born on
15 Dec 1830. The info from David's descendants are pretty much accurate.

A Cole cousin who lives on the land the belonged to the original Coles, said that Charles and Susanna came across the ocean. He also said that the first Cole in Flatridge traded a jersey cow and shotgun for the 344 acres that these Coles settled on. The Cole cemetery is on my cousin's land and my David is buried there along with his family. Don't know where the Charles are buried. There are graves marked in the cemetery with rocks and slate, so they may be buried there.

Seeking parents of Daniel T Cole born 1830 in Missouri, married Delphinia Smith in Bollinger County. They are the parents of Naomi (Neoma) Jane Cole Looney, married to Benjamin Franklin Looney. Her name is listed on one census as Leona. Daniel is with his wife in 1860, missing in 1870, but Delphinia and all the children are listed on the census, including a 5 month old son. By 1880 Delphinia is listed as a widow. I can find no record of a death of Daniel T Cole. Delphenia is buried in Bollinger County. Most of the children of Daniel and Delphinia are buried in Bollinger County, where did Daniel go? The only possibily is a Daniel Taylor Cole born in St Louis MO in 1830, but he would have had a child in Benton County MO born at the time of the birth of the first child of Delphinia and Daniel. He would have also had a child by a wife in Idaho born the same year as the last child of Delphinia and Daniel in Bollinger County MO.

Any help with a Daniel T Cole born 1830 in Missouri would be appreciated.

I just connected to a person who broke through a big brick wall that has been plaguing me for years! It's just great to find someone who has the information you need! In the process I now have a new line of people related to a Cole in my family. What a find! It so nice to connect with someone who will share their information with you. I'm delerious! I still have my old other brick wall of a John Cole to conquer though. Just thought I'd share that news with this group.
