Hi Looking for the grave of David Cole who died approximately 1822 in Queens County, New Brunswick. David was the settled at Cole's Island, Queens County. If he is buried at the Cole's Island United Baptist Cemetery it is not recorded. He married the second time in Wickham, so possibly buried in that area. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Sue

Sue, Good luck with locating the right burial location. Few records or stones remain for those who were buried in Queens County prior to 1850 or so. At least, from my experience of trodding through cemetery after cemetery. Unless an older record of the burial exists, detailing the exact location, he could be buried on farm land, long since "gone wild". Very few "civil" cemeteries existed in that timeframe, so most burials were on private property, usually by family, but not always. I have recorded the Hanselpacker Cemetery in Scotchtown, which was surely a family cemetery, with only about a dozen or more burials. We KNOW of four more burials at that location, but can only presume who might be buried there, as if there WERE ever any markers (possibly there weren't EVER any), they are long since destroyed. Of course, not ALL the private family cemeteries in Queens (or Sunbury) County have been properly recorded, so you MAY eventually find out where David Cole is buried. Just wanting to point out, the chances are rather slim, given the year he died, of finding out a specific location. He might have been buried in Wickham, but perhaps not... One would think Loyalist burial lcoations would be of significant historical value, but I find it less so than, perhaps, it should be. I had similar issues when I found out one of the longest lasting, Loyalist-built homes in Fredericton, was rased to the ground to make way for road construction down the hill from UNB. The cottage was known as the Oxford Cottage, and had been originally build in the 1780s, by Philip Hanselpacker and a few others. I'm still looking for a pencil sketch of the cottage I found while perusing the library at UNB, only to discover that the drawing is likely all that's left of the cottage, now. Ah well, so much for historical preservation... At least, not in the face of "progress".

Hi Sue, You write: Looking for the grave of David Cole who died approximately 1822 in Queens Is there a possibility that this could be the same David COLE?? You didn't give his spouses names...
