Yet ANOTHER William COLE!!! (See message just sent - SUBJ: William COLE) (Message also being sent to ALFAYETT....) Actually, it's not William who is lost - but most of his children! William Bibb COLE (b. 2 May 1768, Louisa Co,VA; d. 9 Jul 1857, Fayette Co,AL) m. 15 Jan 1798 Sarah "Sally" BYARS (b. 12 Jan 1763, Louisa Co,VA; d. 25 Sep 1810, Clarke Co, GA) Daughters: Mary "Polly" Martha Elizabeth Jane Rebecca Sarah Matilda (Would be interested in info on daughters, although it's the sons that bare the COLE name that would be most helpful for my specific and immediate purpose!!) Sons: Richard (b. 1792, Fayette Co, AL; d. 1864) m. Sarah FREEMAN (dates/places unknown, thou I know there were FREEMANs also in Fayette Co at the time) William H (b. 1795; d. 1857) m. Martha GRIFFIN Littleton (b. 1810; d. 1871) m. Narrissa FILES (also know there were FILEs in Fayette Co) John Byars COLE - see below I have information on one son: John Byars COLE and his wife Teresa LONGMIRE, as they are the grand parents of my grgrgrandfather. My dilemma is: that same grgrgrandfather (William Sampson COLE b. 10 Oct 1857, Fayette Co, AL; d. 12 Dec 1920, Jefferson Co, AL) married Willie Ella COLE - daughter of William Duncan COLE and Cornelia Ann DARDEN, both from Fayette Co, AL. William Duncan's father was Isaac COLE and Isaac's father was - you guessed it another William COLE. My hope is that I can fill in the gap here - I feel confident the William Duncan/Isaac/William COLEs are related to the John Byar/Henry Wood/William Sampson COLEs. And the sons of William Bibb COLE and the sons of William COLE (son of Richard - see previous note) - are my best hope! ANY INFO WELCOME!!! Also, would be glad to share what I have on who I have or there's a link!!! - Leah
