I have a grgr grandfather, Henry Wood COLE, known as "Wood". He was born in Tuscaloosa Co., AL in 1830, to John Byars COLE and Teresa LONGMIRE. Surnames going back one more generation are: COLE, BIBB. BYARS, THOMASON, LONGMIRE, GOODE, HAYNES, McINTURFF. His particular branch of the COLE family stayed in AL, principly Tuscaloosa and Fayette Counties, and later Jefferson County. Other COLEs did, however, move into Union and Ouachita Counties in LA. I'm convinced if there was no marriage to the WOOD family, there was at least a close friendship somewhere. Do any of you Union-ites know of a WOOD-COLE connection - by marriage or otherwise???!!!??? - Would be VERY interested! - Leah
