It is my understanding we have two Cole Families in the Lincoln-Giles County area during that time. My ancestor Henry C Cole wa born abt 1790 in AL. Living in NC 1830. Lincoln Co by 1840. some of his line here http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~webmouse/cole/Decendants.html It has been suggested by other Cole researchers that a James Cole, that I really don't know anything about is the ancestors of the other Cole Family. I had another Cole researcher state he found some land transactions between a James Cole and my Henry C Cole in NC, leading to believe the two may be brothers or somehow related. I do not have all the particulars on this. There are some old messges (3-4 years ago) on Cole Family on genforum relating to this. I will have to go and look back at it closer again myself. For what it's worth, a William Cole 1828-1894 married to Mary Jane Howard 1832-1915 were parents of Fannie S Cole. This family I believe is some how related to your line. Fannie S Cole was 2nd wife of my gg-grandfather Josiah Cole. Members of both these Cole families are buried at Marks Cemetery in Giles County. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Ewebmouse/GilesCounty/MarksCemetery.html My Cole research page http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Ewebmouse/GilesCounty/MarksCemetery.html My other Lincoln County surnames includ: Pigg, Crabtree, Foster & Broadaway.
