Simeon Cole had been a neighbor of one of my ancestors and I
noticed that he and other family members were buried in this small cemetery in Albany
County as were my Adam Clark and his wife Olive Burdick.
The Coles listed were:
Eddy S, age 68, died 1885 [1817]
Edwin, age 57, died 1870 [1813]
Elizabeth Slade, wife of Simeon,
age 86, died 1873 [1786]
George, age 22, died 1867 [1845]
Mercy, age 75, died 1889 [1814]
Simeon, age 74, died 1863 [1788]
How were they related?
Simeon married Elizabeth Slead, daughter of John, in 1812.
In researching the others buried with them, I could verify that Eddy, Edwin and
Mercy were their offspring. George was their grandson, son of Edwin.
Simeon and Elizabeth had 6 children, the others were: Hannah
1819 (married Zina Babcock), Leonard
1821 (married Margaret Lockwood), Angeline 1825 (married Wm H Haswell). In 1840
Edwin married Harriet Lockwood (sister of Margaret who married his brother
Leonard); Mercy and Eddy were unmarried.
Luckily the Cole family bible was transcribed by Greene
County genealogists and posted on Rootsweb. It gives specific dates and
relationships and confirms the information I found elsewhere.
Wish I could find
bible records for all the family groups I investigate.
