Hi Tarcarion! *waves* Thus far, this is what I have on that Cole paternal line: 1. Jack Cole (b: abt 1735 Buncombe Co, NC) ; wife UNK had issue:
2. John Charles “Jack” Cole (b: 1760 Buncombe Co, NC; d: 1862 Lawrence Co, KY) md: Cuzzie Anderson (b: 1760 NC; d: 1833 KY) had issue: Jackson, Ezekial, Charles, Mary, Margaret, Luana, Wils, & William Anderson Cole. Notes for father: John Charles “Jack” Cole: NOTE: John C. & Cuzzie Anderson Cole lived as members of Cherokee Indians (information from Anderson Cole Eastern Cherokee)
Cherokee Application # 31697; there is also some speculation that his father (Jack) Cole was adopted by an English farmer.
I have marital/descendancy information on only 3 of their children: Jackson, Luana & William Anderson, to wit:
3a. Jackson Cole (b: 1787 Buncombe Co, NC; d: 7 Mar 1864 Magoffin Co, KY) md 2 x: i. Margaret “Peggy” Higgins (b: abt 1795 Richmond, VA) had issue: Mariah E., Alvira, John, Harrison, Thomas J., Anderson, Elizabeth & Emanuel. ii. Katy MNU (b: abt 1790) no issue.
3b. Luana Cole (b: 1800; d: UNK) md 2x: i. William/Wilson Musgrove; issue: Nancy Montgomery & Margaret Cole Musgrove. ii. William Campbell (b: abt 1800) no issue.
3c. William Anderson Cole (b: 1791 Lincoln Co, NC; d: 1885 Magoffin Co, KY) md: 2x: i. Rebecca Watkins (b: May 1830 Floyd Co, KY; d: 6 Apr 1908 Magoffin Co, KY) issue: Biddy Watkins “Liddy” , Luana, Cynthia, Elizabeth, Marilla Mary, William R., & Wilson Cole. ii. Obedience “Biddy” Collins (b: 1804 Madison, KY; d: 1839 Magoffin Co, KY) issue: Naomi “Oma”, Kezziah Price, Valentine “Tiney”, Jemima “Mima”, Susannah “Sooky”, Charlotte, George, Dicey, John, Hiram, & Jackson Cole. Note: Rebecca Watkins Cole was listed as being 1/2 Cherokee on NA rolls.
In censuses , most of these ppl were listed as alternatingly: W, MU and B…later generations were, at times listed as IN. A goodly number of these Cole descendants are referrenced in the “Who’s Yer People” dissertation written by Richard Carlson as well. It is through William Anderson Cole & his wife Obedience “Biddy” ‘s children that these Cole’s connect to my Nichols lines…Naomi, Jemima & Susannah all having MD Nichols males.
Hope this was at least minimally helpful. Take care~~~~Laurie
Laurie,
I’ve got a feeling that this is mine and Aubrey’s Coles although I don’t see “our” John Jack Cole b. 1799. Could there be another son of John Charles “Jack” Cole, a John “Jack” Cole perhaps that’s not listed? I think it’s more than coincidence that “our” John Cole had a middle name Jack. Maybe we can get Aubrey’s thoughts on this.
Bill .. Am I missing something obvious here?
Jim
Answering post #162
Wow! Thank you so much Tech.
I will try to find info on it online. My Karr/Carr married a Dunn but then one of his descendants married into the Groat line which had married into the Harding line. Whew!
And if I remember right my Dunn Gpa was born in Iowa. Wow.. It seems that Iowa is a real pivot point or joining point of at least three of my lines. This is interesting. I’ll let you know if I find anything out. If not, I may ask you to see if you still have the book. I would appreciate your help. 🙂
Tarcarion….this is going to look right confusing but…my suspicion is that your John Jack Cole MAY have in fact been teh one I refer to as Jackson Cole…who married a Margaret Higgins…the problem is, the One world trees are often a mess and muddle families quite a bit…my initial suspicion aside, this is everything I located on Ancestry trees about a purported John Cole…they DO however list him as being John L. Cole and they have inadvertently attached NUMEROUS wives to him…the author/indexer/inputters of this data are listed as UNK but it is perhaps worth further examination. Here goes:

*Above is ALL of his “potential” spouses and issue….some ppl honestly don’t “deserve” to access and input such rot but hey….it MAY be a starting point for further research of him and his wife Eliza nee Bowman and if he is in fact AKA Jackson Cole, then in his marriage to Margaret Higgins, who MAY in fact have been Margaret Higginbottom/Higginbotham.
——————————————————————–
There are 16 Trees listing this man and his wife Eliza Bowman , the most detailed one that DOES have sources and notes is the very first one at the TOP of this post…no email to contact however. *frowns* One record indicates that he was born in Leeds Co, VA, most others say Lee Co, VA. Some (about half) of the trees do not list who hsi parents might have been…perhaps he WAS a child of my John Charles called Jack Cole?
As to their purported son John, they have on the OWT the following information for his spouse and children:

*I don’t yet know how to unravel all of it but I’ll next peek at some other records and do some census searching to see if the “twain” does meet on any of it. Until next time….luck be with you!~~~~~~Laurie
Laurie,
Thanks so much. This is definitely mine and Aubrey Cole’s Cole family, or at least a good part of it! And you’re right about the confusing part! I have John “Jack” Cole born 1799 (which is close enough to 1800 to be a “hit”)John was married at least twice and very possibly three times, 1st unknown, 2nd Margaret “Peggy” Mallet, and 3rd, Eliza Bowman, daughter of Hawkins Bowman and my gr. gr. grandmother. Eliza was born in 1842 and married John Cole in 1857. She died in 1927. Aubrey has more on the Cole family than I do and surely he’ll “chime in” and help us out here. Today I was looking at the 1850 Lee Co. Census and saw Matthew Cole that you have listed above. The John Cole listed as born 10 Aug 1883 is Aubrey’s grandfather and his son Carl b. 1921 is Aubrey’s father.
Thanks so much for this info. Even though it’s jumbled up, there’s enough correct info here to verify that it’s “our” Coles for sure. This really helps.
Also there’s a story Aubrey told me about John Jack Cole shooting some family member (help me out here Aubrey) and that goes along with the above story of John Cole shooting a brother-in-law.Aubrey said he hide out in MO for a while and Hawk Bowman may have went with him. Hawk and John Cole were good friends. Hawk was my gr. gr. gr. grandfather and Aubrey’s gr. gr. grandfather. Thanks again.
Jim
Blondeyelaurie,
I forgot to add, we show John Jack Cole as being born in Lincoln Co. NC where the info you posted shows him born Lee Co. VA. The rumor is that my gr. grandmother Mary Elizabeth Cole was fathered by James Brittian and not by John Jack Cole but I’ve never seen any documentation to prove this. “The plot thickens!”
Jim
Well I say “right on Jim!”….that is great news….some of it being “confirming” will at the least pave the way to furthering your lineage research…you just never know what you are going to find when you start digging. Sometimes the most seemingly insignificant or jumbled “similarity” can guide you right through a brick wall. Kudos to you and Aubrey…I can’t wait to hear tell what all you unveil henceforth! Take care~~~~Laurie
On my Mother’s side of the family, the surnames are Hall, Miller, Newman, Branstetter/Branstutter, Payne, Oney, Steward, two branches of Wright, Harrison; Mosley/Mosely and Moseley, Alford/Halford, Maiden/Mahan, McCabe/McCaib, Lunsford, Jones.
On my father’sside Gibson, Finley, Jeffers/Jeffcoat, Gatliff, Roark, Garrett, Allen, Bouth/South; Bryant, Watkins, Harris, Baker; Logan, Meek/Meeks, Wright, Taylor, Farris, Ward, Calhoun, Peyton, Ellis, Hawkins, Edwards, Hill Puryor/Pryor, Harding, Bussell/Russell.
I know I am probably forgetting some names, but will get them later.
Anita B.
Hi Anita. I have Hardings in my line too. .And Taylor’s also. but none of the other names look familiar.
Hello Anita *smile*…you and I have quite a few surname connections perhaps. My maternal lineage and your paternal surnames often coincide…they appear to be surnames that connect to both my maternal Nichols and Jett lines…the surnames that we have in common include the following: (those marked with a * preceeding them being most abundantly evident in my tree.) *Gibson, Gatliff, Roark, Finley, Garrett, *Allen, South, *Watkins, Harris, Baker, Logan, Wright, *Taylor, Ward, Payton, Ellis, *Edwards, Hill. If you wish to toss a few primary names/lines/dates with the * surnames perhaps we can see if/how we “connect”. Thank you for posting such an extensive listing. Take care~~~~~~~~~Laurie
Hey Laurie! That is cool that we have a few connections. Most of my lines came from VA and are in KY, TN, NC and AL, and two of my mom’s lines come from NY in the early 1600s. My Taylors, Farrises, and Logans are on both sides of my family (Hall and Gibson). It will take me a while to get all my names together, but I can do it.
I do have a PAF program where I keep my research results, so I use that and Rootsweb, Census On-Line, and other free search programs. I have an aunt and cousin that got me started doing genealogy a few years ago. When I got my computer, I really went to town 😉
I will post the dates and places for you. Some of my research may be incorrect, but I try to check it up against other sources.

In addition to my surnames, here are some names, dates and places from my grandmother Alice Francis Logan, born 1907 in KY and died Jan. 4, 1997.
Alice “Allie” Frances Logan married William Jennings Gibson. Allie’s parents were John Frank Logan b. 18641 in KY and died 1919 in KY. He married Sara Ann “Sallie” Meeks June 17, 1904. Sara was born 1887, place unknown and died 1958, place unknown. It was said that Sara traveled pretty much, and sadly only saw her daughter Allie maybe once in a period of 20 years. Sara’s parents were Hiram Meeks and Elizabeth Wright.
Elizabeth Wright was b. about 1839, place unknown. Elizabeth married Hiram Meeks, b. about 1838 and died some time after 1887, date and place of death unknown. Their year of marriage was sometime around 1866, place unknown. Elizabeth died some time after 1887, place unknown. Her parents were Joel (S.?) Wright and Esther Calhoun.
Joel (S.?) Wright was born around 1806 in Wayne Co., KY, death date and place unknown. He married Esther Calhoun, who was born around 1815 in KY, no death date or place given. No marriage date given. Joel’s parents were Jesse Wright and Doshua “Doshea” (Dorothy) Peyton.
Jesse Wright was b. around 1764 in Amhearst Co., VA, and d. sometime after Sept., 1830 in Wayne Co., KY. Jesse married Doshua Peyton, date unknown.
Doshua “Doshea” (Dorothy) Peyton was b. around 1764 in Stafford Co., VA and died 1831 in Wayne Co., KY. Jesse’s parents were Susannah Ellis and Isaac Wright.
Isaac Wright was b. around 1740 in King William Co., VA and died 1807 in Amherst Co., VA. He married Susannah Ellis, date and place unknown. Susannah Ellis was b. 9 Nov 1744 in Henrico Co., VA and died 1821 in Bourbon Co., KY. Isaac’s parents were Mary Hawkins and Francis E. Wright.
I will finish this later, as we are having a thunderstorm, and I don’t want to lose what I have printed so far. I will try to pick up where I left off, later.
To all;
the surnames on my mothers side of the family are Dunaway, Muncie,Neal,Woolery,Powell,. these are what I have as I am just getting started, I have a Cousin who stated that in the 1950’s he had a family tree complied and has since lost it but that the names were traced back to the Souix, He did not say which names so I guess I’ll have a lot of hunting to do.
As always
Aubrey G Cole
