I'm searching for THOMAS M. COLE born around 1810 in Vermont. I was able to obtain this info through a census. He was married to a woman named Laura who was also born in Vermont around 1815. They had at least one son named FRANCIS M (perhaps for Marian) COLE. He was born either 14 Mar 1839 or April 27, 1835 in Oxford, Maine or Lowell, Mass. (Pension records and Milford history book say two different things) I've sent letters off to both places, but to no avail. It appears that records in Oxford have been lost or burnt in fires. Even without this info, I know a great deal about FRANCIS M. COLE, his wife Betsey Aham and the children. I have even visited his gravesite in Milford, NH and have obtained his pension records from the Civil War. I am looking for any advice on how I might find out about his mom and dad and any other siplings. I know there are a zillion Coles in this area, and have been searching and searching to find THOMAS COLE, married to an Ellen, with a child Francis M. Any helpful leads appreciated.
