Hi My Dear Cuz Laura Nelle, Below you will see that Sharrie is seeking a JEDEDIAH COLE & BENJAMIN COLE. I searched through all my JOHN T. COLE, DAVID COLE, EPHRAIM COLE and through my JACOB KRATINGER files, and can't find these two,names, if any one can do it, " IT would be you! ! ! ! " The only BENJAMIN T. COLE I can find is the son of EPHRAIM COLE b. June 11, 1842 and died: March 14, 1870, he married: MISSOURI d/o ADAM & SABIA GEHO nee GARRISON. That is found in: "The History of Greene County" pg. 876 Can't find a JEDEDIAH? EPHRAIM COLE & MISSOURI had 7 children: BENJAMIN T., SIMON T., JAMES C., ALBERT M., EVERETT P., and WILLIAM G. CARPE DIEM and thank you Laura Nelle. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> From: Sharrie...................... Noticed that you just recently joined the WRIGHT surname list and was wondering if any of your WRIGHT's came from Maryland or Ohio? I have John G WRIGHT b 10 Jul 1801 MD d 26 Aug 1840 Morgan Co, OH m Elenor/Elinor RISEN b VA d OH Children: Thomas W b 22 Jul 1823 Morgan Co, OH d 9 Aug 1903 Madison Co, OH m Eliza MAUK Elizabeth Ann b 11 Nov 1824 OH d 23 Jul 1904 MO m David H POWER (My 2d GGP's) Mary Ellen b 20 May 1829 OH d 23 Mar 1913 KS (never married) John C b 17 Dec 1830 OH - no other information as among the missing Hila Jane b 22 Oct 1833 OH d 26 Nov 1909 MO (never married) Nancy A b 27 Nov 1834 OH d 12 Mar 1925 OH m John MILLER My COLE line supposedly originates in Vermont and one of supposedly 8 children is my 2Ggrandfather Jedediah COLE who died in Portage Co, OH in 1850. Jedediah's sons, in their county history biographies say his father was a Benjamin COLE and a member of Ethan Allen's Green Mountain Boys, which I have been unable to substantiate to date. Both of the above are in my maternal line. My paternal line is 100% German and have had better luck with them than Mom's side of the family.
