Notes:

Note:
The "Baltimore County Families " book lists Christopher Jr. and Ezekiel as children of Christopher and Sarah. The 1790 census for Maryland lists a Samuel Cole as a son of Christopher. A Thomas Cole died in Jefferson County, Ohio in 1808, and his will stated that he was a son of Christopher. The Jefferson County Historical Association assembled a "Cole Family Document" that lists these four Coles (Christopher Jr., Ezekiel, Samuel and Thomas) and six other additional Coles (Mordecai, Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth, John and William) as children of Christopher and Sarah Cole. There were two other Coles who were in Jefferson County in the early 1800's who could have been sons of Christopher and Sarah: Mordecai Cole , who died in Jefferson County in 1813 and William Cole who married Anna Talbot.

Note:
A local newspaper in Jefferson County reported that Samuel Cole found a stray mare.

Note:
Samuel applied for a Revolutinary War pension, but the application was rejected because he served less than six months. In a deposition in his Pension Application file R2142, Samuel stated "he was born in North Hundred, Baltimore County, in the State of Maryland, on the 20th day of September 1762" and the only person who could testify to his military service was his brother, Ezekiel Cole. That statement definitely links Samuel to Ezekiel and verifies that Samuel, too, was a son of Christopher. There is a Power of Attorney form in the file that was executed by Thomas Cole, son of Samuel, on 11/21/1853. The form states Samuel died on February 13, 1842 in Harrison County, Ohio and he left surviving, "Thomas; Elijah; Meshac; Charly; Betsy Wright, a widow; Julianne Cole; the living children of Teresa, deceased, intermarried with Luke Tipton; Sarah, intermarried with John Barrett; and Sarah, his widow, died in the month of March 1842."

Samuel married Sarah HAILE on 15 Nov 1784 in Baltimore Co., MD. Sarah (daughter of John HAILE) was born in 1769 in Baltimore Co., MD; died in Mar 1842 in Harrison Co., OH. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Note:
The information available on Thomas and Martha in Jefferson County is both meager and inconsistent. Data from Martha'a gravestone note that she died in 1858, age 65, which places her birth date about 1793. However, that birth date is not consistent with the birth date of son, Ezekiel, on 2/1/1805.
There was a Thomas Cole listed in the Census Records for Jefferson County, Salem Township as age 70 in 1850, and there was no Martha listed. The Thomas listed in the 1850 Census was undoubtedly the sonof Ezekiel and Sarah. Data from Thomas' tombstone note that he died in 1857, age 83, which would place his date of birth about 1774. Thomas and Martha were buried in the Richmond Quaker Cemetery, Salem Township, Jefferson County, Ohio.

Note:
The Baptist Church was organized at a council held September 23, 1843, by eight persons, viz: Elder Edward Otis, Charles B. Miner, Mary G. Miner, Edward Otis, Merrill Otis, Hileman Otis, and Hannah and Sarah Otis, united. The first three of these were from Connecticut, the remainder from Ohio. It was not until two years afterward that preaching was secured. During this time, Elders Otis, Jonathan Miner and others officiated. During the Summer of 1845, Elder
Charles E. Tinker was secured to preach one Sunday in each month, and so continued for five years. The meetings were sometimes held on the north side of Barren Grove, and at other times at the west end, in school-houses, and often in the open air. For the last two years of this mail's labors the meetings were not held at Wethersfield, and this church ultimately became the Baptist Church at Annawan.
Another church was established at Wethersfield, May 17, 1851, with eleven members. They were: Ezekiel Cole, Mrs. Maria Cole, John Ewing, Mrs. Keziah Ewing, Mrs. Jane White, Mrs. Susan Ellenwood, Mrs. Caroline Purviance, Mrs. Maria F. Miner, Charles B. Miner, Mrs. Mary A. Miner, and Austin Sykes. Of these, the last three named are members.
