Posted on: Pontotoc County Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Pontotoc/868 Surname: Cole, Salmon, Massengale, McGraw, Ward, Hall ------------------------- The Coles of Ponotoc County, George Washington Cole 's father was Hiram Cole, the 1850 Arkansas census listed George as being born in Tennessee. His date of birth.(05/18/1822). My research indicates no "David's" in this line. Hiram's birth place has been listed as Va. but I cannot validate this at present. The Coles had very large extended families. George Washington Cole was married twice, his first wife unknown and daughters died. He married Rebeckah Massengale and lived in Arkansas until he died.
