My grt grt grt Grandmother, Harriett COLES DAVIDSON was born abt 1815 in PA. Her marriage license in Washington Co, states she was single, and a resident of the county, when she married widower William Davidson in Jan 1841 in Aurelius Toiwnship. My problem is that I cannot find her family of origin, or where she herself may have been living (the 1840 census was only 6 months or so before their marriage). There were many members of a COLE family living nearer Marietta (Gravelbank), but they seem to have arrived there before her birth (1815, PA). There was also a Quaker COLES family originating from PA who lived in Guernsey Co. who also moved to Ohio before 1815, and she doesn't fit as one of their children, although one of their daughters did live in Aurelius T in 1840 (no space for Harriet in their home either) ?? Harriet's husband(d 1869) is buried beside his first wife, and Harriet (d 1876) is buried alone at Shafer Church Cemetery. I can find no other COLES family members in Washington County. Does anyone have any information on families with this surname/s, or ideas on how I might pull some bricks off this wall?? Any help would be REALLY appreciated. Linda in CA
