Are you familiar with the FREEMAN FAMILIES OF NOVA SCOTIA? If near Liverpool or Caledonia, check Volume II, Page 790. Also among those buried in the Congregational Cemetery, we learn that Sarah, the beloved wife of John Cole, "who departed this life Aug. 16, 1861, Aged 23 yrs. Her end was peace". Another notation note the Coles were descendants of Benjamin Cole, original grantee of Liverpool, and of a well-known Massachusetts family -- see Diary of Simeon Perkins, last page http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/ If you are not able to locate a copy of FFNS, let me know.
