Notes:

[Willey Family Tree 16 Jan 2005.FTW]

March 1983: James and Esther?s daughter Hester m. Vachel Dillingham ca. 1765 in Halifax or Pittsylvania Co., Va. They are said to have moved to N.C. with relations of Hester.

In Washington Co. and Sullivan Co. N.C. I find land grants to Vachel and next to his land Stephen and William Rentfro. In the same general area I find grants to James, Joseph, Peter, Isaac and Moses. This area later became a part of Tennessee. Vachel and Hesters son went back to that area and settled.

In 1765 James Rentfro deeded land in Halifax Co. to Vachel Dillingham who was later recorded in Pittsylvania Co. then even later in Franklin Co. They did not move it was only the counties which changed. They were just east of the Blue Ridge, south of the Roanoke River.

{There is mention of Vachel Dillingham and wife Hester's moving from North Caroliona to Eastern Tennessee and Kentucky with some of her relatives}

Hester married Vachel Dillingham, Sr. about 1760 in Virginia. Vachel (son of William Dillingham, Sr. and Ellinor Vachel) was born about 1735 in Maryland; died on 9 Dec 1802 in Christian Co, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

from LV:
Last I heard, Cole researchers had not been able to place Elizabeth, but I think you're right that she probably was Solomon's sister, both being children of James Cole II and Mary Rentfroe. The reason I think so is because James and Benjamin's father owned land on/near Cole's Creek in MS Territory, giving the kiddies probable opportunity to get acquainted.
The fact that Elizabeth is listed as being from Lancaster Co, PA & SC. & Solomon from NC - more reason to think that she was James II's and Mary Rentfroe's little girl. James II was born in DE, baptized in PA at age 2, married Mary in VA,d briefly in NC, relocated to SC, and then made an extraordinary voyage of around 1,500 miles by river boat from northeastern TN to MS Territory. Depending on when Elizabeth was born, her birth place could have been VA, NC, or SC.

from Carole Knight (cknight@huntnet.net):
One item of interest is the entry in the "Secret Militia Roles, 1788" found in the Mississippi Land Papers (G976.2D494m)

"JAMES COLE: He is an old settler here, having been established for many years. Petitions for the title of 200 arpents, which is recommended, considering he has a large family. Ft. Panmur de Natches. 18 January 1788 [Folio 93]

Carole thinks that Elizabeth's father is a James, but she & her siblings would have been adults by 1788. Who is this James?

From the English land grants of 1768-79:
Benjamin Roberts, October 9, 1777, 250 arpents
* James Cole, March 20, 1778, 550 arpents - same James as above I guess
William Hay, 1773, 1773, 1776, 3400 arpents
Isaac Johnson of Second/Sandy Creel, September 1, 1777 1,000 arpents

From the Spanish Census, Natchez 1792:
* James Cole, Jr. and Sr. @ Villa Gayoso
Also at Gayoso were George, Dan, John, Lucy William Clark
Also at Gayoso Abner, Abram, Henry, John, Joseph, Nathan and Thomas Marston Green.

_
More verification that Elizabeth is daughter of James Cole:

Entry of marriage for daughter Celeste states that she is daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth Coll i.e. Cole...
"Robert, Celeste (perhaps Sarah) - Lutheran of America (Benjamin & Elizabeth Coll) m 15 Jul 1794 John Clark - Lutheran of America (Francis & Rachel Mellon) Wits: Jacob Harmon, William More. Fr. Pedro de Zamora (Opel Ch v 1-A p 51)"

Also marriage record entry of daughter Susan, same thing:
"Robert Susanne - Presbyterian (Benajmin & Elizabeth Colle - Presbyterians) m 20 Sept 1796 Jacob Welsh - Presbyterians, of Maryland in the United States (Peter & Catherine Opaver (Huppert). Wits: Andrew Walsh(?), Moses Johnston, John Moore, Robin. Fr. Pedro de Zamora (Opel Ch.: v 1-A, p 69)"

Also marriage record entry of daughter Rebecca, same thing, only this record shows "Elizabeth COLE."

"Robert, Rebecca, protestant of this parish (Benjamin & Elizabeth Cole) m 24 Jan 1880 Joel Richey, Protestant from Natchez living in this parish (John & Mary Hardin) Wits: William Shields, Benjamin Richey, groom signs as Vel Richey. Fr. Louis Buhot (Opel Ch v 1-B - Protestant marriages 1787-1830 p 11)"

Elizabeth* married Benjamin* Robert, (immigrant) about 1768 in Lancaster Co (probably), Pennsylvania. Benjamin* (son of Benjamin* Robert and Helena* Loed) was born about 1746 in Ireland; Pennsylvania; died after 1810 in of, Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

John married Susannah Spell about 1776 in Natchez District, Mississippi. Susannah (daughter of Thomas Spell and Elizabeth Boulware Jones, (dau of who?)) was born about 1756; died after 1790 in Natchez District, Mississippi. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Stephen married Jenny Ann Ellis about 1778. Jenny was born about 1758; died after 1811 in Jefferson Co, Mississippi. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

SOLOMON COLE
Early Pioneer
http://jeffersoncountyms.org/bios.htm#cole

Solomon Cole, son of James Cole and Mary Rentfroe was born about 1760 in Ashpole Swamp, Bladen County, North Carolina. The family moved to "Natchez Country," Mississippi in 1772. They located at "Coles Creek," named for our Cole ancestors. Her, Solomon married Elizabeth Davis, widow of Charles Simmons. They had two sons named James Simmons and David D. Simmons (Black Dave). Solomon Cole received a Spanish Land Grant claim #756 of 200 acres, situated on the waters of Coles Creek, Natchez District dated: 4 January 1794. On 12 February 1778, Solomon Cole bought from his brother, Stephen Cole, 300 arpents of land on Coles Creek, for $150.00. A Spanish Grant #1380, donated to Stephen Cole. One month later Solomon Conveyed the 300 arpents to William Thomas for the sum of $600.00, making a nice profit. On February 7, 1804, Solomon and Elizabeth Cole sold their home, the original Spanish Grant #756 of 200 acres to Buckner Darden for $400.00. They moved their family from Coles Creek to St. Landry Parish, Louisiana in 1804. Solomon and his brother James located land on the Plaquemine Brulee. Solomon acquired 529 acres from Isaac Johnson, the original claimant. It was situated on the stream and bounded on the North by James Cole's land grant.

Solomon Cole served as a Police Juror (Justice of the Peace) in St. Landry Parish from 1811 to 1818. He later moved to a vacherie at Prairie Soileau. "When James and Solomon Cole moved from Coles Creek, Mississippi in 1804, they joined former neighbors by names of: Hayes, King, Forman, Simmons, McClelland, Reeves, Bilbo and Roberts. They all settled on each side of the Plaquemine Brulee stream in St. Landry Parish. James Cole was the original claimant by settlement and occupancy of 400 acres. Solomon Cole acquired his 529 acre Spanish Grant from Isaac Johnson, the original grantee. A tributary of Bayou Plaquemine Brulee ran through both James and Solomon's land, named Coles Bayou or Gulley. A certain location was known as Coles Cove. This area was also, "Coles Settlement," since that was the name of the first Post Office established in 1832. Evidently, this Post Office was located on the Solomon Cole land, some five miles north and east of present Crowley, Louisiana. Abraham Cole, son of Solomon was appointed postmaster, January 24, 1938. Two persons who gave bond were Jacob Simmons and William Forman, son-in-law of Solomon Cole. We do not know why the Coles became dissatisfied with the Plaquemine Brulee location. Perhaps, floods or pestilence caused crop failures. James Cole sold to Malachi Stanton, "a certain tract of land, situated in St. Landry Parish at a place called, Tasse Point, on a Gulley [Coles) of Plaquemine Brulee, containing 400 acres and being in the Western District of the Territory of Orleans, no State of Louisiana...in consideration of the sum of $350.00"
Dated: October 15, 1821 ) Bk. F p. 97-St. Landry Parish, La.) BAYOU DUBONNE, St. Landry Parish.

The Coles probably, started moving westward in St. Landry Parish after this date of 1821. Solomon Cole died in 1825 and his Succession papers read, "Judge George King went to the Cole Vacherie [small ranch) in Prairie Soileau on Beaver Creek to make an Inventory of the estate." Our intermarried families of Cole, Forman and Simmons are found together in the 1830 Census of St. Landry Parish in the area of "Bayou Dubonne," 60 miles southwest of Opelousas. This is the western part of the Parish cut off for Calcasieu after selling his grant on the Plaquemine Brulee is not known.

The Court House was burned down and all records were destroyed in Lake Charles in 1910. We cannot check deeds, marriages, conveyances, and probates for our Cole, Forman and Simmons families. The relationship of Solomon's family is established by his Succession Papers filed in Opelousas Court Records. Named is Elizabeth Cole, widow of the deceased, James Cole, a son, James Forman, a son-in-law is requested to "tutor" his minor son, "Stephen Cole," Stephens portion of his father's estate was left in the care of his Uncle James Cole Sr., half-brother, David Simmons, and his brother-in-law William Forman.

The Solomon Cole land was purchased by William Forman with the "reservations that, the widow, Elizabeth Cole and son Stephen Cole were to live on the 'home place." Other children of Solomon Cole were not named in the St. Landry Parish records but, we can identify those who married from the Bonds.

Solomon Cole was born in North Carolina. The family moved to Natchez Country, Mississippi in 1772. They located on "Coles Creek". Here Solomon Cole married Elizabeth Davis, widow of Charles Simmon. She had two sons by Charles. James s and David D. Simmons.
Solomon received a Spanish Land Grant, Claim #756 of 200 acres, situated on the waters of Coles Creek, Natchez District on January 4, 1794.
On February 7, 1804, Solomon and Elizabeth Cole sold their home, the original Spanish grant #756 of 200 acres to Buchner Darden for $400. They moved their family from Coles Creek to St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. Solomon and his brother Jamle, located on land on the Plaquemine Brulee St. Landry Parish. Solomon Cole acquired 529 acres from Isaac Johnson, the original grantee.
Solomon Cole served as a Police Juror (Justice of the Peace) in St. Landry Parish from 1811 to 1818. He later moved to a vacherie at Prairie Soileau.
The following explanation of the Plaquemine Brulee, St. Landry, Louisiana is taken from "Cole Footprints".
"The name PLAGUEMINE BRULEE is descriptive of the region, meaning burnt Persimine. The word Plaquemine is translated as the fruit of the Persimine tree; and Brulee was used by the Acadian settlers to describe fields burnt over for cleaninh spring. Voila! PLAQUEMINE BRULEE. It is also, the name of a well known stream of water, which covers Southern St. Landry Parish with tributaries of gulleys and bayous. This land area was important to the early settlement of Southwestern Louisiana.

Spanish explorers sailing along the Gulf coast as early as 1519 found the mouth of the mighty Mississippi River. They established Colonies and Forts. It was the French explorer, Robert Cavelier La Salle who claimed for France in 1682, ae land drained by the river and its tributaries. He named the territory, "Louisiana" in honor of King Louie XIV. Louis J. St. Denis founded the first permanent settlements at Natchitoches in 1714, and at New Orleans in 1718. After the Seven Year War in 1763, France ceded Canada and all of the Louisiana Province east of the the Mississippi to England (except the Isle of Orleans). By a secret treaty with Spain, France had ceded all her land west of the Mississippi and Orleans to that country. From his military might, Napolean forced Spain to give Louisiana back to France in 1800. His dream for a French Colonial Empire failed, and in 1803 Napolean sold the Louisiana Territory to the United States for $15,000,000.

During the French regime two Indian Trading Posts were established in the Southwestern section of the Territory, Poste des Attakapas and Poste des Opelousas. Both named for Indian Tribes who lived in the area. Post des Opelousas includet is now St. Landry, Acadia, Allen, Calcasieu, Beauregard Cameron, Jefferson and Evangeline Parishes. Some Anglo-Americans bought land from Indian Chiefs as early as 1780; others received Spanish Land Grants, until the Territory became United States property. She then granted land to Protestants as well as many Acadian families who moved into the area.

When James and Solomon Cole moved from Coles Creek, Mississippi in 1804, they joined former neighbors by names of : Hayes, King, Forman, Simmons, McClelland, Reeves, Bilbo and Roberts. They all settled on each side of the Plaquemine Bruleeam in St. Landry Parish. James Cole was the original claimant by settlement and occupancy of 400 acres. Solomon Cole acquired his 529 acre Spanish Grant from Isaac Johnson, the original grantee. A tributary of Bayou Plaquemine Brulee ran through both James and Solomon's land, named Coles Bayou or Gulley. A certain location was known as Coles Cove. This area was also, "Coles Settlement," since that was the name of the first Post Office established in 1832. Evidently, this Post Office was located on the Solomon Cole land, some five miles north and east of present Crowley, Louisiana. Abraham Cole, son of Solomon was appointed postmaster, January 24, 1938. Two persons who gave bond were Jacob Simmons and William Forman, son-in-law of Solomon Cole.
We do not know why the Coles became dissatisfied with the Plaquemine Brulee location. Perhaps, floods or pestilence caused crop failures. James Cole sold to Malachi Stanton, " a certain tract of land, situated in St. Landry Parish at a plalled, Tasse Point, on a Gulley (Coles) of Plaquemine Brulee, containing 400 acres and being in the Western District of the Territory of Orleans, no State of Louisiana...in consideration of the sum of $350.00" Dated: October 15, 1821 ) Bk. F p. 97-St. Landry Parish, La.)
BAYOU DUBONNE, St. Landry Parish

The Coles probably, started moving westward in St. Landry Parish after this date of 1821. Solomon Cole died in 1825 and his Succession papers read, "Judge George King went to the Cole Vacherie (small ranch) in Prairie Soileau on Beaver Cro make an Inventory of the estate."

Named is Elizabeth Cole, widow of the deceased, James Cole, a son, James Forman, a son-in-law is requested to "tutor" his mino, "Stephen Cole", Stephens portion of his father's estate was left in the care of his Uncle James Cole, Sr. his half-brother, David Simmons, and his brother-in-law William Forman.
The Solomon Cole land was purchased by William Forman with the "reservations that, the widow, Elizabeth Cole and son Stephen Cole were to live on the "home place". Other children of Solomon Cole were not named in the St. Landry Parish rs but, we can identify those who married from the Bonds.

From the Succession of Solomon Cole:
A petition from Elizabeth Cole, widow, asks that the community be sold at public sale on July 1, 1825, and that a family council be appointed to provide a tutor for Stephen Cole who is under the age of puberty. She signs with a mark. Wae a Cole, married a Cole??? Elizabeth is appointed the natural tutor.

JAMES COLE, Jr. and wife Mary Rentfroe moved with their family to Southwest Mississippi Territory about 1780 settling near Cole's Creek in present day Jefferson County. Their daughter MARY COLE married Jacob Stampley about 1787. I am related to their daughter Sarah Minerva Stampley who married Stephen Rowland. Would like to correspond with others researching these families.

The John Coale (Cole) Family
Appendix, pg 231

John Coale (1805-1875) was born in St. Landry Parish. His parents were James Coale and Jemima Curtis, who were married in Natchez Territory in Mississippi in 1785. John Coale married Rachel Hayes in Opelousas, Louisiana, on Jul 27, 1823. Both were eighteen years old at the time. Ultimately, they had nine children.
It is believed that he migrated to Texas in 1823 to receive a Mexican Land grand. However, some problem occurred and he never received the final title.
It is known that he lived in the Cow Bayou Settlement. He was mentioned in several documents, although there is no record that he owned land. He was listed with Richard Ballew, John Harmon, and Thomas Hart ona committee to select a suitable place for the seat of justice of the new municipality of Jefferson. George Patillo mentioned him as one of the early citizens that he remembered. Also, he was mentioned by Captain George W. Hargraves as one of the men who served during the Texas Revolution. He therefore turned his interests to cattle and cattle-raising, along with his brother and his children. His older son, David, married Louisa Stephen. His son Joshua died in Apri 1903, and was buried in Orange County. John's other children married Stephensons, Burrells, Mills, and Williamsons. The elder Coale Died on April 20, 1875, and was buried in the John Coale Cem in Orange. His wife, Rachel, died on November 21, 1890, and is buried at the Abshire Ranch Cemetery in Liberty, Texas.

Dear Sherry,
So sorry, I should have put the number she is 348 susannah cole born in Natchez, Mississippi, daughter of Hannah Spell and Mark Cole. I found the following reference at the Family History Center in Spring, Texas The name of the genealogy book was Hiram Miller and Susannah Cole Miller early settlers of Smith County Mississippi written by Granville Hough. They had the following children:Joesph William, John Harvey, James Winfield, Franklin, Richard, HANNAH Elizabeth,Aaron ,
Sarah and Martha. Hannah Elizabeth Miller married Ivy Walker (Just a quick interject-- they are cousins going back to a shared great grandfather James Miller who served in the Revolutionary War) and they had the following children. : Rufus, Nancy Susannah, Charity, Thomas, Ivy,Willis, Theodora, and Pinkney and Edward. Nancy Susannah Walker married William Howard Keyes and they moved to Winn Parish, Louisiana and later to Franklin Parish, Louisiana where they are buried. They had the following children: Joesph Henry Keyes, jeptha Lafayette, William Benjamin, Ivy J,Nancy Elizabeth, Sara A, Janie, Howard A, and Wiley Morris.
Joesph Henry Keyes ( he was a Baptist minister) married Amy Louvenia Shelton (Lavinia) and they had the following children: Alson Lonnie Keys, Fred A Keys, Gladys, Audie, Floyd and Royd. Fred was a fighter pilot in WW2 and a Baptist minister and Alson Lonnie was a former oilfield worker and then a farmer Royd was killed during the the DDay invasion and is buried in Europe.
Alson Lonnie Keys ( they dropped the es ) married Rosa Jane Hurt and they had seven children ( two died in infancy and there are no grave markers for them but according to their death certificate they were interred at Coax Baptist Church Cemetary in Baskin, Franklin Parish, Louisiana.) There names were Blair Hurt Keys and Calvin Fletcher. The other five are Margueritte Lucille Keys Reed 1931-2013, Betty Jo Keys Harrelson Sawyer, d 2012Rogers Moody Keysd. 2002 and two that are living Kenneth Royd Keys and Wanda Joy Keys Arnold

I have much research verifying this information: I have been preparing for a supplemental for the DAR with James Miller. I have death certificates for Alson Lonnie Keys, Margueritte Keys Reed, Joesph Henry Keys, Amy Shelton Keys, Rosa Jane Hurt Keys, and Nancy Susannah Walker. The other lineage is proven on DAR for James Miller, Sr. born 1750 in North Carolina and died 1826 in Amite County, Mississippi.

His lineage is also published in The Order of the First Families of Mississippi at least the Hannah Elizabeth Miller and Ivy Walker


Here are a few of the find a grave numbers for you:
Joesph Henry Keys 12682058 Ogden Cemetary
Amy Louvenia Shelton Keys 14136263 Ogden Cemetary
Alson Lonnie Keys 42326754
Rosa Keys 42326793
William Howard Keys 14137653
Nancy Susannah Walker Keys 1413753
Ivy Walker 54987154
Hannah Elizabeth Miller Walker 1710847


I am fairly certain of all of my information, but I make typos and I can misunderstand the information I find. In other words, I make mistakes and if you find any please let me know. I plan to submit this info with my supplemental Revolutionary War Soldier. His Ancestor Number is A079076. If you have ever used this site you can find the proven lineage. Since my lineage intersects: I am using 2 lineages to proven.


Have a wonderful day and keep me posted.


Thanks

Hi, Paula.
Thanks for writing and sharing. I'm having trouble getting oriented as to who you found in my tree where we connect. I assume Susannah Cole as I don't have Hiram Miller. But I have several Susannah Coles and am showing none of them married to a Miller.

I'll be glad to add your line once I know where to start. :)

Good Afternoon

I found your family history site and I am researching a Cole Miller Walker keys connection. By my research. Ancestry family search google find a grave DAR library. I found a book about Susannah Cole and Hiram Miller written by Granville Hough. I downloaded it at the family history center. Susannah and Hiram married. This is my line of descendants from them. They had a daughter named Hannah Elizabeth Miller who married Ivy Walker they lived in Taylorsville Mississippi. They had a daughter named Nancy Susannah Walker she married William Howard Keyes and moved to Winn Parish Louisiana. They had a son Joesph Henry Keyes who married Amy Shelton. One of his brothers married one of Amy s sisters. They had Floyd , Royd who died on d day , Gladys , Audie, Fred and my Grandfather Alson Lonnie Keys who married Rosa Jane Hurt In my tree I have the children and etc but I only can recall my direct line.
