3 CONT Dear Tim,
3 CONT Your information on the Coles Corners School, its location and moving, a

3 CONC ation.
3 CONT About my great-grandmother and teacher Louisa Stocker Piper, 8/22/1841 - 7
3 CONC /2/1876: She was only 17 years old when she taught school, which was o
3 CONC nly one year older than two of her students. On August 2nd, 1859, she m
3 CONC arried Eli Gillet Fox. Only three of their seven children lived to adu
3 CONC lthood: Anice Idella (Della), Zelpha Alberta (Bertie), and J. Wilber. D
3 CONC ella is my grandmother, and Bertie is Tom Trolia's grandmother. Louisa d
3 CONC ied in childbirth and is buried in Dillingham Cemetery. Eli G. Fox die
3 CONC d in the Soldiers Home at Danville, Illinois and is buried there (he se

3 CONT Della Fox married three times: Nickolas Mergen (my grandfather), Georg
3 CONC e Fox, and Charles Streed. She is buried in Dillingham Cemetery (her t
3 CONC ombstone reads: Della Streed), along with some of her children by Geor
3 CONC ge Fox.
3 CONT Bertie married Charles Johnson and they lived in Decatur, Illinois.
3 CONT Our connection to the Dillingham family: Louisa Stocker Piper was a ha
3 CONC lf-sister to Hannah Hale (same mother), who married Olcott Dillingham. A
3 CONC ccording to my mother, Leona Mergen Greenwell, Hanah Hale was Olcott's s
3 CONC econd wife, although the Dillingham Bible records of marriages doesn't s
3 CONC eem to list but one Olcott Dillingham marriage. My mother knew Olcott a
3 CONC nd Aunt "Hanner" Dillingham, so I'm assuming this to be true. Tom beli
3 CONC eves there is an earlier Fox/Dillingham marriage and is researching tha
3 CONC t possibility.

3 CONT SUICIDE OF Mr. E. P. COLE
3 CONT
3 CONT Mr. E. P. Cole, a very early settler 6 miles north of here along the r
3 CONC oad to Chesterton, where he has lived for 40 years, has had some troubl
3 CONC e 3 or 4 years past with Mr. Johon, living near there, feeling grossly w
3 CONC ronged but yet averse to lawing; and perhaps had other matters worrying h
3 CONC is mind. He had in months past frequently expressed himself so tired o
3 CONC f life as to desire to die. He wrote a letter with a pencil, dated 7th o
3 CONC f June, which covered one large page, describing how he felt about the c
3 CONC ourse of Johon in perverting and transcending their agreement as to Joh
3 CONC on's taking fallen timber from his premises. The other side of that sam
3 CONC e sheet was partly covered with a writing dated June 8, which was suppl
3 CONC emental to the writing of the 7th, and declared his weariness of life a
3 CONC nd preference for death. Upon another slip of writing dated June 9, he r
3 CONC equested R. P. Jones and John P. [sic] Cole his son, to act with Mrs. S
3 CONC ally Cole his widow, as administrators; said he wished his widow to hav
3 CONC e all his property for life, except some notions he desired to have dis
3 CONC tributed to his grandchildren.
3 CONT
3 CONT After dinner Saturday, the 9th, he told his wife that he was going to t
3 CONC he barn to spread some grass to dry, and so went out. Some time elapse
3 CONC d, and Mrs. Cole, on looking out saw cattle near the barn in mischief, a
3 CONC nd went out to drive them off. While doing this she called to Mr. Cole t
3 CONC o come and help, but got no answer. This excited her surprise, and dre
3 CONC w attention to the barn door, which she found fastened on the outside i
3 CONC n a way that was unusual. She looked in and saw her husband hanging by a l
3 CONC og chain, fastened to a pole above the threshing floor, to all appearan
3 CONC ce dead; and certainly beyond her power alone to rescue. She immediate
3 CONC ly gave alarm, and John C. Cole, and others soon arrived and took him d
3 CONC own. They hoped he was not too far gone to be restored, and used such e
3 CONC fforts as they could, but all in vain.

3 CONT ------------------
3 CONT The subject of this notice was the last survivor of a family of six ch
3 CONC ildren, two boys and four girls. She was born in Tioga County, N.Y. in t
3 CONC he year 1810, and during the period of numerous Indian massacres which p
3 CONC revailed previous to the War of 1812. This County was at that time a c
3 CONC entral rendezvous of the belligerant tribes and very sparsely settled b
3 CONC y whites. Her father and a few friends had emigrated from Vermont and b
3 CONC rought with them the creed "Trust in God and keep your powder dry." Th
3 CONC ey were particular to observe this last clause of this motto as it was t
3 CONC he prime necessity of the little colony of white settlers. After the t
3 CONC reaty of peace which followed the War her father emigrated West and set
3 CONC tled in Auron [sic, Huron] County, Ohio in 1814. At this time northern O
3 CONC hio was an unbroken wilderness and there was but little to encourage se
3 CONC ttlement and emigration was slow and White neighborhoods few and far be
3 CONC tween. But her father built his hope and had faith that the great chai
3 CONC n of lakes would build up a trade that would result in founding an Empi
3 CONC re in the West. In the year 1825 the Erie Canal, which had been in con
3 CONC struction for eight years, was completed. Fresh hopes were born, and t
3 CONC hose of the colony who had made improvements on their farm were amply r
3 CONC ewarded and the country received a large immigration from the New Engla
3 CONC nd states. At this time Carthiette Cole was 15 years of age and had be
3 CONC en reared within the daily sound of the Indian war whoop and the nightl
3 CONC y brawls of wolves. Although schools were nearly unknown outside the v
3 CONC illages she acquired a good education and in the prime of life was well p
3 CONC osted in the events of the day although her reading was principally con
3 CONC fined to religious books. In 1832 she was married to Daniel Osborn, wh
3 CONC o was born near New Haven, Connecticut, and settled in Ohio in 1829. T
3 CONC hey continued to live in the same neighborhood until 1858 when they mov
3 CONC ed to Porter County, settling at Jackson Center. Her husband was calle
3 CONC d by death in 1880, since which time she has lived with her son Edward. S
3 CONC he leaves six children, 23 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren. Sh
3 CONC e had an unyielding faith in the immortality of the soul, and her rule o
3 CONC f action was based on this belief.

2 CONT --------------------------------------------
2 CONT Much later in life John C. Cole would take active roles in the surrou
2 CONC nding communities. One of these was the Farmers' Institute of Porter C
2 CONC ounty. From newspaper accounts of the day, we find that he often play
2 CONC ed a leading role and spoke at these events. From an account in the Ch
2 CONC esterton Tribune of the Institute's meeting in November, 1901:
2 CONT "...[Mr. Van Norman of Purdue University] was followed by John C. Co
2 CONC le of Woodville, his subject being "Scientific Buttermaking." Mr. Col
2 CONC e is one of the largest buttermakers in this country, if not the larges
2 CONC t. He has given years of study to the subject, and has succeeded in tu
2 CONC rning out a quality of butter that is in demand at prices above the mar
2 CONC ket. His talk was very interesting and instructive."
2 CONT ---------------------------------------------
2 CONT Another community involvement was politics. John C. Cole was active i
2 CONC n the Republican party, as was his father. He was at least once a dele
2 CONC gate to the state convention. And he was an active member of the Scott
2 CONC ish Rite, participating in conventions and holding offices.
2 CONT =======================================================
2 CONT From a subscription county biography book:
2 CONT "John C. Cole was born June 27, 1836, in Huron County, Ohio. He is the t
2 CONC hird of nine children born to Edward P. and Sally (Dillingham) Cole, na
2 CONC tives of New York and Ohio. John C. lived with his father in Huron Coun
2 CONC ty until his second year, when his father came to this county and bough
2 CONC t somewhere near a half section, and at one time nearly a section and a h
2 CONC alf, and lived here until his death, in 1877. In this twentieth year, J
2 CONC ohn C. Cole was married to Mary Osborn, a native of Huron County. Mr. C
2 CONC ole now settled on ninety acres from his father’s estate and his presen
2 CONC t farm, on which he has resided ever since, with the exception of about t
2 CONC hree years’ service. He enlisted in the Seventy-third Indiana Volunteer I
2 CONC nfantry, and participated in the battles of Perryville, Chapel Hill and i
2 CONC n a raid to Alabama, where they were captured and paroled and placed on g
2 CONC uard duty, fort-building, etc. He was mustered out of service at Nashvi
2 CONC lle July 10, 1865. Mr. Cole’s farm consists of 244 acres of well-improv
2 CONC ed land, with good buildings, wind pump, etc., most of it under cultiva
2 CONC tion. He is a member of the F. & A. M. order Calumet Lodge, No. 379, an
2 CONC d during the time of it was a member of the Grange. He has been Trustee f
2 CONC or three terms, and is an active Republican. It was through his influen

2 CONC . He built and owns the buildings. He has five children - Ada A. Freer, C

2 NOTE A Little History of Woodville, Indiana
3 CONT
3 CONT The little village of Woodville was founded by my Great-great grandfath
3 CONC er, John C. Cole, in 1880. He had bought some property on the south si
3 CONC de of the B & O RR about where a country road (now Porter Co. Road 900N
3 CONC ) crosses the tracks. It seemed an ideal spot for a station and a cent
3 CONC ral location for the local farmers to bring goods to be shipped by rail
3 CONC . He established a General Store, petitioned for and won a Post Office s
3 CONC tatus, a blacksmith shop, and a freight loading platform. He was the f
3 CONC irst Postmaster for the village. The station shipped large quantities o
3 CONC f milk, beef, and other farm goods to Chicago and received other goods i
3 CONC n return. It was at one time the largest sassafras root tea shipping c
3 CONC enter on the B & O, evidently something to be proud of, then. For peri
3 CONC ods of time lumber was shipped to Chicago from this station and grain p
3 CONC roducts as well. A lot of beer was returned to Woodville, and broken b
3 CONC ottles of Sieps Beer still turn up from time to time along the right of w
3 CONC ay. I have two pictures of Woodville - one is of the General store wit
3 CONC h John Cole standing in front of it, and the other is of the station, a v
3 CONC ery nice building with a large platform for milk cans and an ornate sca
3 CONC le that gave fortunes for a penny. This scale still exists and gives f
3 CONC ortunes somewhere in the area.
3 CONT
3 CONT Clinton X. Griswold tells of stories he heard as a child growing up in t
3 CONC his area of the Woodville Village. Joseph Hineline operated a little c
3 CONC reamery and cheese factory at the Woodville stop and raised a daughter w
3 CONC ho would eventually marry John Cole's son. For a time John Cole built "
3 CONC cracky wagons" in his blacksmith shop and sold them around the neighbor
3 CONC hood. John had a very nice farm about a mile and a half away that he e
3 CONC stablished just before the Civil War. After about twenty-some years of f
3 CONC arming he moved from that farm to his land at Woodville to be closer to h
3 CONC is investments. Worsening back problems related to war injuries demand
3 CONC ed he lessen his travel and work. Another son-in-law, Alexander Freer, t
3 CONC ook over the Postmaster and store clerk duties. However, a degenerativ
3 CONC e nerve disease eventually crippled him and he died young. Another man
3 CONC , H. W. Johnson, nicknamed "Windy" for his tall tales, helped out in th
3 CONC e store and began to take more responsibilities as John aged and Alex b
3 CONC ecame more infirm. When John died in 1905 his widow sold the store and m
3 CONC uch of the land to Dave Linderman who quickly closed the store and open
3 CONC ed a nursery business that still exists in his name and family. "Windy
3 CONC " opened a store on the north side of the tracks and ran a business the

3 CONT ANOTHER PIONEER GONE
3 CONT John C. Cole, one of Porter county's earliest settlers, passed away at h
3 CONC is home in Woodville, Sunday, Dec. 31, 1905, of pneumonia, after an ill
3 CONC ness of four days, aged 69 years, 11 months, 4 days.
3 CONT John C. Cole, son of Edward P. and Sally (Dillingham) Cole, was born i
3 CONC n Huron county, Ohio, January 27, 1836. Two years later the family cam
3 CONC e to Northern Indiana and began the strenuous task of creating a home i
3 CONC n the forest wilderness. In those days the marks of civilization were f
3 CONC ew; the deer roamed at will through the woods, and even a few Indians s
3 CONC till remained. [I understand Edward and John left the doors unlatched s
3 CONC o Indians could come in during the night and warm themselves on chilly n
3 CONC ights] Succeeding years saw the forest areas transformed into cultivate
3 CONC d fields.
3 CONT In his twentieth year, Mr. Cole was married to Mary A. Osborn, a nativ
3 CONC e of Huron county, Ohio. He then began his home making a short distanc
3 CONC e from the paternal estate. He toiled sturdily and successfully. At t
3 CONC he outbreak of the civil war he enlisted with Company E., 73rd Ind. Vol
3 CONC . Infantry, and served three years, becoming orderly sergeant, with spe
3 CONC cial charge at times of ordinance and commissary. With his regiment he p
3 CONC articipated in the battles of Perryville, Chapel Hill and a raid to Ala
3 CONC bama where they were captured and paroled and placed on guard duty. [He e
3 CONC vidently took this seriously enough to help the Confederates repel a Un
3 CONC ion attack on the prison (!)] He was mustered out of service at Nashvi
3 CONC lle July 10, 1865.
3 CONT In 1880 Mr. Cole founded Woodville Station, on the B. & O. railroad, a
3 CONC nd removed to that place in 1882.
3 CONT Several days ago an attack of pneumonia, made more serious by failing h
3 CONC ealth, terminated a long and well spent life. The funeral was held Jan
3 CONC uary 2, at the Methodist church in Chesterton, Revs. Smock and Smith of
3 CONC ficiating. Ritualistic services were conducted by the Masonic order un
3 CONC der the auspices of Calumet Lodge, No. 379, of which Mr. Cole had been a m
3 CONC ember since 1872. Several touching tributes of respect were tendered b
3 CONC y men who had been his life long friends. Interment took place in the C

2 CONC eason anywhere on or around the property would be accused of trying to f
2 CONC ind "the old man's money." By the time I came along most thought the s
2 CONC tory was just that -- a story. However, there may be some truth behind i
2 CONC t -- some older family members and neighbors claim to have seen the tre
2 CONC asure before it was buried. One source, still alive when I became inte
2 CONC rested in the truth behind the story, told me that as a child he had be
2 CONC en shown two old kitchen pots full of gold coins and items. Soon after t
2 CONC hat, George Cole denied it had happened and nothing whatever was ever f
2 CONC ound of the two pots or the gold. One old family member (not known for h
2 CONC is ability to tell a straight story) said he had heard the stories from h
2 CONC is parents and had heard that George had buried the treasure to keep it o
2 CONC ut of others' hands and refused to tell anyone where it was, even many y
2 CONC ears later.
2 CONT Possible truth: When the B&O Russian immigrant train derailed and burn
2 CONC t just west of the Woodville curve, George was one of the first of many n
2 CONC eighbors called in to help with the injured and dead. Nearly all of th
2 CONC ese immigrants were fresh off the boat and were in possession of their f
2 CONC amily wealth to be used to purchase farm land somewhere further west. I
2 CONC t is my contention that George, being early on the scene, found a lot o
2 CONC f valuables and coins and, like the others, pocketed much of it. He ev
2 CONC idently was not the only one doing so -- the feeling being that, many o
2 CONC f the immigrants having burned in the old wooden coaches, the possessio
2 CONC ns would not likely find its way back to Russia or to relatives anyway. I f
2 CONC eel that he regretted doing this and buried the gold out of guilt and r
2 CONC epentance and swore never to tell anyone of its existance. (My neighbo
2 CONC r, whenever I'm digging a hole for another bush or tree, yells over to m
2 CONC e that there's no use digging, he's already found the gold!)
2 CONT
2 CONT The Catalpas: In the front yard of George Cole's home, even to this da
2 CONC y (1995), are two giant catalpa trees. South of the home is about 1 -1
2 CONC /2 acres of old catalpas that has always been know as the "Catalpa Grov
2 CONC e." When one of the largest ones blew over about 10 years ago, I cut i
2 CONC t up and counted the rings -- there were 80. And that would be about t
2 CONC he time of the famous "Catalpa Incident." A salesman came to the home o
2 CONC ne day and proceeded to tell George that he was associated with the B&O a
2 CONC nd other area railroads. These railroads, he explained, were in dire n
2 CONC eed of good timber stands to provide wood for rail ties and that they w
2 CONC ould pay good money to area farmers for a good stand of the right kind o
2 CONC f wood to make ties from, close to the tracks (to reduce transportation c
2 CONC osts). A wondrous newly found tree was discovered to make about the be
2 CONC st railroad ties known to man -- and this tree grew both tall and sturd
2 CONC ily and, more importantly, very quickly. Besides that, it was a wonder
2 CONC ful shade tree and had thousands of fragrant white blooms every spring, m
2 CONC aking it a most desireable yard tree. George bit on the salesman's pit
2 CONC ch and wanted to be the first in the area to have a substantial stand o
2 CONC f these trees. He envisioned getting very rich, as many of the farmers h
2 CONC ad some thirty years earlier, selling most all of their hardwood timber t
2 CONC o lumber companies supplying Chicago with wood to rebuild homes lost in t
2 CONC he great Chicago Fire. So he borrowed the wife's butter and egg money a
2 CONC nd bought as many "whips" as he could. He planted them where most stil
2 CONC l stand to this day, uncut and unsold -- and mostly unwanted by man, be
2 CONC ast and railroad. Mrs. Cole was not enthused.
2 CONT
2 CONT When it rained, George could be heard outside weeding his flower beds a
2 CONC nd garden, because he always seemed happiest in this occupation and wou
2 CONC ld sing loud enough for the neighborhood to hear.
2 CONT When the neighbors received a new piano one day, George invited himself o
2 CONC ver and asked if any of them could play the "durn thing?" I was told b
2 CONC y one of the children of this family that none could play the piano and t
2 CONC hat George, hearing this, sat himself down and proceeded to entertain a
2 CONC ny and all with long memorized selections and sang to them as well. Ev
2 CONC idently music was and has been an inborn talent with many of the Coles.
2 CONT Very late in life, George developed diabetes and eventually was hospita
2 CONC lized in LaPorte. While there, (a Catholic hospital with Polish Nuns) M
2 CONC y grandmother (Val's wife) and Clyle's wife had come to look after him a
2 CONC nd to be there while he had surgery. During the operation one of the n
2 CONC on-English speaking Nuns brought my grandmother a large heavy bundle wr
2 CONC apped in white cloths. My grandmother took it and opened it just enoug
2 CONC h to see what it was. It was George's leg! They had amputated it due t
2 CONC o gangrene. Evidently, the belief was that an amputated appendage shou
2 CONC ld be buried with the body even though the rest of the body might not b
2 CONC e ready for some years to come. My grandmother (not being Polish or Ca
2 CONC tholic) did what she thought best -- she found her Polish sister-in-law (
2 CONC Clyle's wife) and handed the bundle to her, and then scooted away. The c
2 CONC ontention is that the leg was brought back to the farm and buried discr
2 CONC etely somewhere in the woods. Many of the ghost stories associated wit
2 CONC h George's house and farm deal with his coming back to look for that le

1 NOTE The parentage of John Dillingham has not been clearly established. In f
2 CONC act, it is unlikely that his relationship to Edward Dillingham has any d
2 CONC egree of accuracy at all, but it is from the notes of researcher Marvin P
2 CONC hares and mostly accepted by John Dillingham's descendants. If nothing e
2 CONC lse, it is a place from which to start.
2 CONT What is known about John is that he was employed at age 16 on a ship an
2 CONC d that he seemed to be accepted by the better families in Manchester, C
2 CONC onnecticut, and that he associated with naval and military people and t
2 CONC heir families. It could be likely that his roots were in this area of C
2 CONC onnecticut. It has also been surmised that his father died when John w
2 CONC as young and his mother remarried and that John was unable to establish a f
2 CONC amily relationship with his stepfather, resulting in his pursuing a mil
2 CONC itary, nomadic life thereafter, searching for the dominant, father-type o
2 CONC f relationship missing from his adolescence. His wanderings and associ
2 CONC ations with the military life -- structured, disciplined, clearly defin
2 CONC ed goals -- and his devoted responsibility to his young, half-orphaned c
2 CONC hildren -- even clinging to them to provide for them (and himself) the f
2 CONC amily coherence and loyalty which may have been missing in his developi
2 CONC ng, young life -- this could all point to the strong possibility of a m
2 CONC issing father figure.

2 CONT Dillinghams come to Porter County, by The Stroller
2 CONT
2 CONT Schuyler Tanner walked miles and miles up and down the cuts made by t
2 CONC he gigantic steam shovels and grading machines when Ridge Road was bein
2 CONC g converted into a national highway -- just to be sure the combined Dil
2 CONC lingham memory was right. They all said Grandma Hannah had told them h
2 CONC er husband, John, had been buried far north of the old trail. But Tann
2 CONC er wanted to be sure those machines didn't disturb the old settler, or, i
2 CONC f they did, that his weary old bones would be given a better resting pl
2 CONC ace with the other departed Dillinghams.
2 CONT Tanner used to tell interesting tales of the first Dillinghams. He s
2 CONC aid John, Hannah and Olcott came from Huron, Ohio, in October 1837. Bac
2 CONC k in Ohio they had been sort of lake dwellers, living close to Lake Hur
2 CONC on. So they, in coming west, naturally came by boat. They came on a l
2 CONC ittle sailing vessel called "The Little Westerner," which was equipped w
2 CONC ith an auxilliary steam engine. Before they arrived, however, they beg
2 CONC an to wish that they had tried the overland route, according to the tal
2 CONC e. Storms beset them almost from the first. The trip occupied 29 mise
2 CONC rable days. The Little Westerner was only a 60-ton ship and was overlo
2 CONC aded.
2 CONT Seek Fabulous Farms
2 CONT The ship was filled with "lookers" -- men who, for the most part, wa
2 CONC nted to get out into the woods after they got into Lake Michigan, to lo
2 CONC ok for one of those fabulous farms for themselves, at $1.50 an acre. Th
2 CONC en there were some who excitedly talked about copper from the Keewenaw P
2 CONC eninsula. The ship was stacked to capacity with more than 100 passenge
2 CONC rs and their gear. There were plows, wagon bodies, pots, children and b
2 CONC edding all piled high on deck. Wagon wheels were lashed to the masts.
2 CONT Now that the Indians were supposed to be cleared from the country, t
2 CONC he great land boom was at its height. And the headquarters was at the l
2 CONC ittle fort on the Chicago River, where it was said, more than 20, 000 p
2 CONC eople came each season. Their engine-equipped sailing vessel was rough a
2 CONC nd everyone was seasick -- all but Olcott, who was enjoying the excitem
2 CONC ent. As they came down the Michigan shore a heavy fog set in. Then soo
2 CONC n heavy rains came.
2 CONT Pelted by Sleet
2 CONT At Muskegon there was some talk of unloading and pushing back before t
2 CONC he lake froze over. Ice was already forming in the lake, but the capta
2 CONC in had a big cod shipment for Michigan City. When they came into sight o
2 CONC f St. Joseph the storm turned into a whipping sleet storm. Just before t
2 CONC hey reached Michigan City another whirling, icy storm whistled in from C
2 CONC hicago and struck the taut canvas with devastating fury. They were nav
2 CONC igating close to the shore, when a warm air mass from somewhere collide
2 CONC d with the cold mass just over their heads -- and then came the bad new
2 CONC s.
2 CONT The ship would discharge its entire cargo at Michigan City. Chicago w
2 CONC as out of the question. "But," said the captain, "it's only a little w
2 CONC ays to Chicago." It took 10 days to get straightened out and to get th
2 CONC e outfit together. By dark, on the evening of Nov. 2, 1837, they arriv
2 CONC ed in what is now Porter County.
2 CONT Camp at Coffee Creek
2 CONT John Dillingham said, "We camped at a place called Thomas Mill or Bi
2 CONC g Sandy Creek or, as it was then being laughingly called, 'Coffee Creek
2 CONC .' There was a very nice gentleman there named Morgan, and he made us f
2 CONC eel at home. The next day we, at his suggestion, went out to look at t
2 CONC he land thereabouts -- and did not go on to southern Illinois as we had i
2 CONC ntended."
2 CONT And Hannah added, "Pa and Olcott thought this country was good enoug
2 CONC h, so we stayed."
2 CONT John was buried in a canoe for a coffin. It made a right nice caske
2 CONC t, with flowers and evergreens placed on top. He was put in the ground o
2 CONC n his own land by the clump of trees at the bend of the creek.
2 CONT
2 CONT 1.) John Dillingham's first daughter by his second wife Hannah had m
2 CONC arried Edward Cole back in Huron COUNTY, Ohio, not Huron, Ohio, where t
2 CONC hey lived by the shores of Lake ERIE, not Huron, if you call 20 - 30 mi
2 CONC les away "by the shores." It was Edward Cole who wanted to move west w
2 CONC ith his young family, Sally and his two boys, David and John, 3 years o
2 CONC ld and 3 months old. Dillingham brought almost his entire second famil
2 CONC y with him -- 8 children from 21 to 5 years old. Olcott, the second yo
2 CONC ungest, was around 8 or 9 and was probably not being consulted about fa
2 CONC mily decisions yet. And of course, this was a year earlier, almost two y
2 CONC ears earlier, than the above record claims and was obtained from record
2 CONC ed deeds and other records. In fact, the intention was to move to this a
2 CONC rea of Porter County in the first place; Edward Cole had scouted the te
2 CONC rritory for the previous two years looking for suitable and affordable l
2 CONC and for both families.
2 CONT 2.) The idea that they took a boat from Lake Erie, through Lake Huro
2 CONC n, and down the shores of Lake Michigan to go to Chicago is the most pr
2 CONC eposterous story I've ever heard of. The White River canal had been op
2 CONC ened from their area of Ohio and went well into Indiana to the head str
2 CONC eams of the Wabash River. If anything, they took a canal barge as far a
2 CONC s they could and then went overland, possibly up through Michigan City, w
2 CONC hich was established at that time, although a clear and protected trail w
2 CONC ent through to present day Westville, Indiana, through the area now cal
2 CONC led LaPorte, or present day Door Prairie. It would be silly to go ten m
2 CONC iles out of the way when a good path (an established buffalo and Indian t
2 CONC rail existed. And it's possible that they ventured into present day Ch
2 CONC esterton and stayed with Jesse Morgan. But probably only to be neighbo
2 CONC rly.
2 CONT 3.) I can't imagine what the ravings are about U.S. Highway 6 (Ridge R
2 CONC oad). The Dillingham cemetery is about half a mile SOUTH of this road, w
2 CONC hich was put through in the first quarter of the 20th century. And Joh
2 CONC n most likely was not buried in a canoe, nor by a "bend in the stream." H
2 CONC is grave site is clearly visible on what was thought to be the highest p
2 CONC oint in Porter County, a long, long way from any moving water. Edward C
2 CONC ole was buried on what was thought to be the second highest point in Po
2 CONC rter County, about 3/4ths of a mile north of John. If anything, Tanner
2 CONC 's tale sounds more like the story of Joseph Bailly, and the lake storm t
2 CONC hat almost swamped their boat sounds suspiciously close to that of an a
2 CONC ctual steamship wreck that happened far later and without the benefit o
2 CONC f John Dillingham's presence. I want to think that Schuyler Tanner got h
2 CONC is tales mixed up while imbibing some of John's famous home-made whiske
2 CONC y.

2 NOTE Edward Dillingham is reported by Winthrop Alexander as a son of Melatia
3 CONC h Dillingham (R357 in these notes). Dudley makes no mention of this Edw
3 CONC ard.
3 CONT He might be a son of Mary Curtis, Melatiah's first wife; she married in O
3 CONC ctober 1723 and died in 1727; she had Lemuel in that time; she might al
3 CONC so have had Edward, possibly dying at the birth of one of them.
3 CONT An alternative is that Edward might be an unrecorded son of Phebe Hatch
3 CONC , Melatiah's second wife. She married him 18 Feb 1730 and died 31 Jan 1
3 CONC 731; certainly this could be a childbirth death.
3 CONT Edward certainly did not spring from Melatiah's third wife, Meriah Gilf
3 CONC ord. She married in 1734 and had recorded children in 1735, 1737, 1739, 1
3 CONC 741, 1745, 1747, 1749 and 1757. The first vacant slot there is far too l
3 CONC ate for Edward, who was himself breeding by 1751. Therefore I place his b
3 CONC irth between 1727 and 1731; clearly he was not born between those years b
3 CONC ut rather in one or the other.
3 CONT I found the following on 30 June 1994 in a note by Dudley that I had pr
3 CONC eviously overlooked.
3 CONT Church Records of Hanover, Mass (19d)
3 CONT "Feb 18,1730/31 Melatiah Dillingham and Phebe Hatch, both of Hanover, m
3 CONC arried", and "Born Dec 29,1730-31, Son of Melatiah and Phebe Dillingha
3 CONC m."
3 CONT The lack of a Christian name suggests that the child died, especially g
3 CONC iven that his mother died a month later, and Melatiah didn't marry agai
3 CONC n until 1734. The date of birth, however, supports the idea that this w
3 CONC as the missing Edward Dillingham. Other entries in the same record (see b
3 CONC elow) also lack Christian names.
3 CONT Edward is identified by Winthrop Alexander as the father of several Dil
3 CONC linghams, and (per Alexander) "circumstantial evidence places William i
3 CONC n this family." This refers to William of Freeport, R104 in these note
3 CONC s, father of William and John Griffin, grandfather ofJohn Griffin.
3 CONT What are the circumstances? Melatiah and Edward were blacksmiths; Will
3 CONC iam and William Jr were blacksmiths. The dates are reasonable. William s
3 CONC on of Ignatius has a different wife, and children; William son of John s
3 CONC on of Simeon went to Granville, New York. William son of Malatiah is to
3 CONC o old.
3 CONT There is no indication in Alexander that Edward removed to Maine, but t
3 CONC he Pilgrim Edward Doty Society states that "Edward and Melatiah, his fa
3 CONC ther, were shipbuilders in Hanover, Mass., and in 1783, as members of t
3 CONC he Friends Society, removed to Falmouth, Maine, then to Freeport."

3 CONT by Amos Felt, for “The Fire Lands Pioneer,” presented in June, 1867, an
3 CONC d appearing in their journal for June, 1867, on pages 70 -- 73.
3 CONT
3 CONT "John Dillingham and his family were among the early settlers of the Fi
3 CONC re Lands. Where he was born I do not recollect, but I think that he sa
3 CONC id in Rhode Island, and that his father's family were formerly from the v
3 CONC icinity of Cape Cod. He had two or three brothers and a sister or two. H
3 CONC e lost his mother when quite young, and his father married a Quakeress f
3 CONC or his second wife.
3 CONT "Early in life he took to the ocean, intending to follow the water, but w
3 CONC hen about seventeen years of age the brig on which he was went to Lisbo
3 CONC n for salt, and on her return trip met with adverse winds and calms, so t
3 CONC hat they were more than double the time that they intended. Their stor
3 CONC e of provisions was exhausted and they were about casting lots to see w
3 CONC ho should be food for the rest, when they discovered a vessel; but she d
3 CONC id not heed their signal of distress. They soon after saw land, and an
3 CONC other vessel came to their relief, enabling them to get into harbor, wh
3 CONC ich was Hartford, Conn., I think. After making a few more voyages he q
3 CONC uit the sea, and before he was twenty-one years of age he married Clari
3 CONC ssa Olcott, of East Hartford, Conn., by whom he had six children, namel
3 CONC y, Henry, Clarissa, Betsey, Sally, Fanny, and Polly, all of whom are de
3 CONC ad; and the dust of two of them is mingled with that of the Fire lands.
3 CONT "Within a year after his marriage he enlisted as third Sergeant under a C
3 CONC aptain Miles, who was recruiting for General Wayne's army, to fight the I
3 CONC ndians. His Captain retained him for some time in the recruiting servi
3 CONC ce before he joined his regiment, which was somewhere on or near the Oh
3 CONC io River. He serve his time out under General Wayne, but was not in th
3 CONC e battle of the Falling timbers, being detailed to guard the Maumee Riv
3 CONC er to attack the Indians.
3 CONT "Many were his hairbreadth escapes while he was in the service. He use
3 CONC d to relate to me the following: At one time he was detailed to carry d
3 CONC ispatches from some post between Cincinnati, and where General Wayne wa
3 CONC s encamped the winter before the war closed, and on his return, a littl
3 CONC e before sunset, he passed an old dry tree that had fallen and was on f
3 CONC ire. He concluded that it was the work of the Indians and that it was n
3 CONC ot safe to stop there for the night, so he pursued his journey. In abo
3 CONC ut a mile he met six or seven men that were on their way to Wayne's cam
3 CONC p. They inquired if there was any fire or chance to make any. He told t
3 CONC hem there was one about a mile ahead of them, and they beset him hard t
3 CONC o turn about and go and stay with them that night. He told them he did n
3 CONC ot consider it safe and that it was a plan of the Indians to decoy some o
3 CONC ne, that they might murder him. They only laughed at him and he put ah
3 CONC ead until it was about dark, then left the trail and put off to one sid
3 CONC e, dug away the snow and made a hole in the ground, got some dry wood a
3 CONC nd made a little fire, took his blanket and covered himself so as not t
3 CONC o have an light seen, and sitting, slept what he could. The next day h
3 CONC e arrived at his post safe. In a few days he heard of those men being k
3 CONC illed by the Indians that night by that fire.
3 CONT "After Mr. Dillingham had served his time out and got his discharge, he r
3 CONC eturned to his family in Connecticut, but after working in one place an
3 CONC d another, some of the time by-the-day, he concluded that Connecticut w
3 CONC as not the best place for him. He took his little family and started f
3 CONC or the far West. He made a stand in the town of Stafford, between Lero
3 CONC y and Batavia, Genesee County, New York, where he lived until 1809. He t
3 CONC hen moved to Ashtabula County, in this State [Ohio] then to Mentor, Gea
3 CONC uga County, thence to Tinker's Creek, near Cleveland. Here he buried h
3 CONC is first wife and two of his daughters, Clarissa and Polly, having buri
3 CONC ed his third daughter, Sally, in Stafford.
3 CONT "He married Hannah Hicox, of Cleveland, for his second wife. She bore h
3 CONC im fourteen or fifteen children, among whom were Sally, Ann, John, Hann
3 CONC ah, Betsey, King, Esther, Olcott and Comfort. They had three births th
3 CONC at were twins. The most of the children died in infancy and I never kn
3 CONC ew their names.
3 CONT "When the war of 1812 broke out Mr. Dillingham was living on Tinker's C
3 CONC reek, and he either volunteered or came as a substitute to Camp Avery. A
3 CONC fter staying there some five or six weeks, his son Henry became dissati
3 CONC sfied with living at home with a step-mother, came out to see him and p
3 CONC revailed on him and his Captain to let him serve out his father's time.
3 CONT "In the Spring (that is 1813) he moved to Bloomingville, and there kept a k
3 CONC ind of log tavern, and he and Henry carried the mail from Cleveland to C
3 CONC amp Seneca, where Gen. Harrison was encamped.
3 CONT "Now let me digress to relate a few incidents connected with those time
3 CONC s. Soon after Major Croghan beat the British and Indians off from Fort S
3 CONC tephenson, now Fremont, the Indians divided into two small bands of som
3 CONC e two or three hundred each, and roamed through different sections of t
3 CONC he country. One party made for Bloomingville, where there was a small s
3 CONC ettlement that had been posted up in a blockhouse. It stood on the opp
3 CONC osite side of the road from the old brick building, built by a company t
3 CONC hat styled themselves the Commercial Bank of Sandusky Bay. The inhabit
3 CONC ants thought there was no danger, and had mostly left the blockhouse an
3 CONC d gone to their homes. It seems to me that there was a hand of Provide
3 CONC nce in their escaping the tomahawk and scalping knife.
3 CONT "Two men, John Paxton and Seth Harrington, both good hunters took it in
3 CONC to their heads to go to a deer lick soon after the battle at Fort Steph
3 CONC enson. The lick was situated somewhere near the road then leading from H
3 CONC uron through Bloomingville to Lower Sandusky, and some distance West. S
3 CONC ome time past the middle of the afternoon they mounted their horses and s
3 CONC tarted. The road ran some of the way across prairie and other places o
3 CONC n ridges. As they went off the prairie onto the ridge, some two miles f
3 CONC rom the blockhouse, they discovered a few Indians coming onto the other e
3 CONC nd of the ridge. Paxton drew his rifle to fire, but Harrington caught i
3 CONC t and told him not to, for there were more behind them, and that they w
3 CONC ere intending to attack the settlement. They wheeled their horses and m
3 CONC ade for the blockhouse, and rallied the settlers as soon as possible. B
3 CONC y that means the settlement was saved.
3 CONT "One more incident of this affair and I will resume my narrative. A Mr
3 CONC s. Wood, a widow, sister of Captain Harrington, as he was always called (
3 CONC for they elected him their Captain that night,) after carrying in what w
3 CONC ood and water she might want, went upstairs and brought down a one-tine
3 CONC d pitchfork, which she said she was going to fight the Indians with, if t
3 CONC hey attacked them while the Captain drilled the men. She took her post w
3 CONC ith them, with her one tined pitchfork.
3 CONT "Mr. Dillingham took the mail to carry from Cleveland to Camp Seneca, w
3 CONC here General Harrison was encamped. Colonel Proctor, the British comma
3 CONC ndant at Malden, was desirous of getting hold of Harrison's dispatches, t
3 CONC o get some clue of this intentions, and had offered the Indians a large r
3 CONC eward if they would take the mail and bring it to him. General Harriso
3 CONC n was aware of their intentions and frequently sent out detachments fro
3 CONC m Colonel Ball's squadron of mounted riflemen, to clear them from the m
3 CONC ail route. At one time they came upon fourteen of fifteen Indians secr
3 CONC eted in a thicket of hazel brush, and killed all but one, who broke thr
3 CONC ough the horsemen, and as they fired at him, fell over an old log and p
3 CONC retended to be dead, by that means getting away. At another time they k
3 CONC illed nine. This I had from Henry Dillingham, who carried the mail par
3 CONC t of the time instead of his father, and saw the Indians after they wer
3 CONC e killed.
3 CONT "About the close of the war Mr. Dillingham bought a farm a little below t
3 CONC he head of Cold Creek, where Mr. Petingill built a gristmill afterward. I
3 CONC n the Fall of 1815 he bought of John Beatty two hundred acres of land, l
3 CONC ying in 3rd section of Perkins Township, on Pike Creek, about half way b
3 CONC etween Bloomingville and Sandusky City. Here he made considerable impr
3 CONC ovement, but finding that Beatty's title to the land was not good, he e
3 CONC xchanged with him for land in the first section of Norwalk Township, wh
3 CONC ere he lived from October 1819 until June 1836. He sold the latter tra
3 CONC ct to Mr. Chas. Jackson, and moved to Porter Co., Indiana, with most of h
3 CONC is family, and there he died some four or five years ago, aged about ni
3 CONC nety, his wire having died some two years before him.
3 CONT "Henry Dillingham married Amanda Page, and began a farm on Pike Creek, t
3 CONC he next lot south of his father's. After living on it a year he sold o
3 CONC ut to a man by the name of Rodgers, who let it go back to Mr. Beatty. H
3 CONC e moved to his father-in-law's and stayed a year, then back to Pike Cre
3 CONC ek in March, and lived there until the 1st of October, 1819, then to th

3 CONT Mr. and Mrs. Brown were married on July 17th, 1855. The family consis
3 CONC ts of ten children - Mary J., wife of J. Brewer; Josiah; John F.; Jerom
3 CONC e; George M.; James; Elizabeth C.; Charles W.; Anna M., and Carrie. Al
3 CONC l were present except Mrs. Gus Johnson, who is very ill. Mr. Brown has b
3 CONC een a resident of Porter County for a number of years, and by the const
3 CONC ant practice of frugality on the part of himself and his beloved wife, h
3 CONC e has been able to accumulate considerable wealth.
3 CONT Mrs. Brown has been a patient sufferer with a cancer for the past year o
3 CONC r more. One year ago this month a surgical operation was performed wit
3 CONC h the hopes that the dreaded disease might be eradicated but of no avai
3 CONC l, it had fastened itself to such an extent that it was beyond the reac
3 CONC h of medical skill.
3 CONT The funeral services were conducted at the residence on Tuesday aftern
3 CONC oon at 2 P.M. by Rev. H. C. Weston, assisted by the M.E. choir. The dis
3 CONC course was based on a chapter shich she marked on the fly-leaf of her B
3 CONC ible, Math. XXIV chap. Mr. Weston laid special stress on her last word
3 CONC s which were full of regret that she had not achieved more in her feebl
3 CONC e way for God and said she died with the hope of immortality. Words wou
3 CONC ld be weak to express the commendation that is due to Miss Carrie, youn

3 CONC ickness, surely such devotion will have its rewards in future days when r
3 CONC emembering, that all was done to make the last days and moments as comf
3 CONC ortable as kind hands could make and a loving heart could wish.
3 CONT A large concourse of friends and neighbors were present at the obsequi

3 CONT After the services at the residence a procession of 100 vehicles moved i
3 CONC n regular order to the cemetery at Chesterton, where the remains were l

2 CONC :
2 CONT "I am sending this to the file contributors on RootsWeb.com who show Su
2 CONC sanna Tuttle as spouse of Naboth Osborn. I have communicated with two o
2 CONC f you before, but want to share what I have found with all of you. Whil
2 CONC e I have not been able to confirm yet, it is possible that early printi
2 CONC ngs of "Families of Ancient New Haven" by Donald Lines Jacobus listed S
2 CONC usanna Tuttle as spouse of Naboth. The pages I have from the book (copi
2 CONC ed for me by the staff at the LDS Family History Center in Salt Lake Ci
2 CONC ty) show Susanna ________ (no surname). I have pages 1326 and 1330 of a 1
2 CONC 974 printing of the book.
2 CONT
2 CONT The reason I raise this question is that a second cousin and I have fou
2 CONC nd an alternate possibility for Susanna. The Widows Pension file for Na
2 CONC both/Susanna gives her surname as Dutton. I will summarize that finding b
2 CONC elow, but first the citation: National Archives and Records Administrat
2 CONC ion (NARA) film series M804 (Revolutionary War Bounty Land Warrant Appl
2 CONC ications and Pensions) roll # 1850. Names are alphabetical by last name
2 CONC , first name and frame numbers are not given in this series. The file n
2 CONC umber of interest is W21878. It is my understanding that this film is a
2 CONC vailable at all branches on the National Archives. There locations can b
2 CONC e found at http://www.nara.gov .
2 CONT
2 CONT I look forward to any additional information to support or refute eithe
2 CONC r Tuttle or Dutton as the correct surname. A summary of file informatio
2 CONC n follows..........

2 CONT Information from deposition of Lorinda Osborn in Widow's Pension file f
2 CONC or Susanna, wife of Naboth Osborn
2 CONT Lorinda's depositions were on Dec 7 (or 9) 1838 and Dec 15, 1842 (after d

2 CONT The earliest information obtained of James Cole whose name stands at th

2 CONT "...and it is probably due to this fact that he became acquainted w

2 CONC ian, Mathieu Lobel.
2 CONT Mathieu Lobel was born in Lille in 1538. He was the son of Jean De L
2 CONC obel, a distinguished lawyer. Mathieu was a physician at Montpelier, G
2 CONC ermany, Italy, and Switzerland; he also practiced medicine in Antwerp, b
2 CONC eing attached as physician to William of Orange; from Antwerp he came t
2 CONC o London, and became physician to James I. He was a great student of v

2 CONC inal plants. It was he who first discovered the medicinal qualities of t
2 CONC he plant Lobelia, and gave the plant its name, using his own name and a
2 CONC dding the letters "ia." He died in Highgate, London, March 2 1616."....
2 CONT James Cole and ...Mary Lobel...[disputed] were married in 1624. Their f

3 CONT Your web site has more information than I have. It appears to me that M

3 CONC ight find something to ad to your file: Information from " The Decenda
3 CONC nts of James Cole of Plymouth, 1633", by Ernest Byron Cole, The Grafto
3 CONC n press of New York, 1908. Some of his work is based on information s
3 CONC upplied by Miss Asenath Wilbur Cole of Warren, RI. She had spent som
3 CONC e time collecting records of the first four generations and decendants o
3 CONC f Hugh Cole, the second son of James Cole of Plymouth. Many of the re
3 CONC cords from which this data was secured have since been destroyed.
3 CONT I am not sure James Cole was born in 1616 as Ernest claims he married M
3 CONC ary Lobel in 1624. It was claimed that earliest information obtained o
3 CONC f James Cole dates from 1616 when he was living at Highgate.

3 CONT There is no evidence that James Cole the immigrant went first to Maine. T
3 CONC his is the info in my manuscript:
3 CONT
3 CONT E.B. Cole, p. 21, says that James and his family "came to Saco, Mai
3 CONC ne, in 1632, and the following year, 1633, located in Plymouth, Mass." O
3 CONC nly one other source mentions the Saco arrival. Savage, p. 427, says "
3 CONC James, Plymouth 1633 ... was that yr. at Saco, perhaps, as in Haz. Col
3 CONC l. I. 326, or Folsom, 33, 125." The sources Savage is referring to are E
3 CONC benezer Hazard's Collections and George Folsom's History of Saco and B
3 CONC iddeford. There is no record of a James Cole in Saco, ME, in 1633. In a
3 CONC n article in the Oct 1885 issue of the New England Historical and Gene
3 CONC alogical Register, "Court Records of the Province of Maine," p. 360, o
3 CONC ne of the earliest entries is 25 March 1636 listing James Cole (also Co
3 CONC ale and Coall) as being fined five shillings for being drunk. He is li
3 CONC sted again on 6 March 1637, p. 363: "James Cole is to pay the constabl
3 CONC e 20s for his paynes in goeing to Cascoe [a town about 30 miles north o
3 CONC f Saco]." The article states that there are no records for the years b
3 CONC efore 1636. The James Cole in Saco is almost certainly a different man
3 CONC . James Cole is found in Plymouth Colony in 1634, was probably there p
3 CONC revious to that time, and was definitely in Plymouth in 1637.

3 CONT Do these Coles belong to you? Am attempting to identify their parents:
3 CONT
3 CONT 1. Daniel Cole, m. at Harwich, 1728, Thankfull Burg
3 CONT 2. Elezer Cole, m. at Harwich, 1728, Joanna King
3 CONT 3. Ruth Cole, m. at Harwich, 1731, Daniel Crosby
3 CONT 4. Samuel Cole, m. at Eastham, 1738, Dorcas Young
3 CONT 5. Samuel Cole, d. at Harwich, 1717
3 CONT 6. Stephen Cole: He & wife Elizabeth had 2 children at Harwich, 1713, 1
3 CONC 714; she d. 1714 and he remarried Rebecca ( ) sometime before 1726 w
3 CONC hen they had a child born.
3 CONT
3 CONT I can find only one family for whom the above (except #5) could be plac
3 CONC ed, that of James2 Cole (Daniel1) and Hannah Childs of Eastham. Their c
3 CONC hildren were:
3 CONT
3 CONT 1. Mary, b. Eastham, 1684
3 CONT 2. Ruth, b. Eastham, 1686
3 CONT 3. James, b. Eastham, 1693
3 CONT 4. Samuel, b. Harwich, 1695
3 CONT 5. Ruth, b. Harwich, 1698
3 CONT 6. Martha, b. Harwich, 1700
3 CONT
3 CONT These are the children whose births are recorded, were there others who w
3 CONC ere not? Could the Stephen Cole above (b. c1690 based on approx. marr. d
3 CONC ate) fit in between James and Samuel above? The marriage found for Sam
3 CONC uel is likely his, but what about Ruth's - she would have been 32, a li
3 CONC ttle old for a first marriage.
3 CONT Could Daniel and Eleazer fit in after Martha's birth above? Have other p
3 CONC arents been found for these Coles, or other marriages? Probate records f
3 CONC or James2 could be helpful however he left no will and I have been unab
3 CONC le to find a settlement of estate which would name heirs. I plan to go t
3 CONC hru the Barnstable co. deeds this fall in the hopes of finding somethin
3 CONC g but in the meantime thought I'd see if anyone has come across these C
3 CONC oles.
3 CONT Any clues appreciated!

3 CONT Pam's post mentioned the marriage to Mary Lobel that was long attribute
3 CONC d to our James Cole of Plymouth MA.
3 CONT I have covered this briefly in my upcoming book and find it interesting t
3 CONC hat this marriage was more or less ruled out as early as 1961 - yet it i
3 CONC s still floating around almost 30 years later as fact. Unfortunately, m
3 CONC any family researchers today still depend on early works whose research h
3 CONC as been superceded by that of later genealogists.
3 CONT NEHGR 115 [1961]: 255-56, "English Background of Three New England Fami
3 CONC lies" by McClure M. Howland showed that a search of church registers di
3 CONC d in fact turn up a marriage, 16 Dec. 1605, between Jacques Coole and L
3 CONC ouye de Lobel, daughter of Matias. This year of 1605 is much too early f
3 CONC or our James Cole whom I have as being born ca1600.
3 CONT That the Barnstaple, Devonshire, England marriage to Mary Tibbes belong
3 CONC s to our James is proven in the baptisms of two children of this couple - J
3 CONC ames and Hugh - both of whom show up in Plymouth MA as the sons of our J
3 CONC ames.

2 NOTE Hugh came with his father to Plymouth, Mass., in 1633 and was admitted a
3 CONC s freeman in 1657. The following appears in the Plymouth records: "Apl
3 CONC . 8 1634, It was agreed with James Cole that his son Hugh shall keep th
3 CONC e Cowes from Apl. 15 to November, and shall have for his pay fifty bush
3 CONC els of corn. He shall bring them up every morning to be milked and the
3 CONC n carry back to feed and bring them home at night."
3 CONT He was made surveyor of highways at Barnstable, and granted 100 acres o
3 CONC f land at Acushauett. In 1667 with others he purchased of King Phillip 5
3 CONC 00 acres of land on the west bank of what was named for him Coles River
3 CONC . He was a shipwright and civil engineer, and many of the tracts of la
3 CONC nd of Swansea were surveyed by him. he was a slectman of Swansea for m
3 CONC any years, and was representative and deputy to the general court in th
3 CONC e years, 1773, '74, '75, '80, '83, '84, '85, '86, and '89. He was for y
3 CONC ears the friend of King Phillip (the Indian chief). Having veen reques
3 CONC ted by the Plymouth Colony Council to visit King Phillip and report the c
3 CONC onditions made the following report:
3 CONT "Swansea, Apl. 1, 1671. Most Honorable Sirs: --Yours I received this d
3 CONC ay whereby I perceive you desire to know what posture the Indians are i
3 CONC n. I do not find them to continue in a posture of war as they have bee
3 CONC n. I went to Mount Hope last second day on purpose to see their procee
3 CONC dings and was in many of their houses, but saw nothing as intending to w
3 CONC ar. But asking them of their reason of continuing together at Mt. Hope
3 CONC , they answered, it was to see Phillip's child buried, and I have seen s
3 CONC ome return, but the greater part of them are together. And they ghave a
3 CONC s the reason, because the wind does so blow against them that they cann
3 CONC ot go home with their canoes -- not else. Rest assured I am yours to co
3 CONC mmand what I am able.
3 CONT "Hugh Cole."
3 CONT "Oct. 27, 1669."
3 CONT Hugh Cole was granted fifty acres of land lying between Manneonest Poin
3 CONC t and the Salt Marsh with all the appurtenances thereunto belonging, un
3 CONC to him and his heirs forever. (Page 149, vol. 3, Plymouth Records.) H
3 CONC e was granted by the court respecting his father's grant, he being an a
3 CONC ncient freeman. Six score acres of land between the Mattapoiset River a
3 CONC nd the bounds of Acushassett.
3 CONT In June, 1675, at the commencement of the war with King Phillip, two of H
3 CONC ugh Cole's sons were made prisoners by the Indians and taken to Phillip a
3 CONC t Mount Hope. Phillip ordered them set at liberty, because, as he said
3 CONC , Hugh Cole had always been his friend. He sent word to Hugh that he c
3 CONC ould no longer restrain his warriors, and for him to take his family an
3 CONC d immediately remove to Rhode Island. This he did, and one hour afterw
3 CONC ard his home was in flames. While he had been on such friendly terms w
3 CONC ith Phillip, his was the first house burned, and Gershom Cole was the f
3 CONC irst person killed. After leaving his home Hugh Cole located at Portsm
3 CONC outh, R.I. The town records of Portsmouth show that, Oct. 12 1675, Hug
3 CONC h Cole was granted liberty to use some of the windfalls that are down t
3 CONC o build a small frame, and to make wheels for the use of the townsmen f
3 CONC or their money. Savage says: "Hugh was a segeant in the war against K
3 CONC ing Phillip." After the war in his election as representative he is al
3 CONC ways spoken of as sergeant. After the close of the war, 1677, he retur
3 CONC ned to Swansea and built a house a few rods from where Miss Abby Cole n
3 CONC ow lives. The well walled by him on the bank of the Kickemuit River is s
3 CONC till there. This part of the land has descended by will, no deed havin
3 CONC g been made for it; it has never passed out of possession of the Cole f
3 CONC amily and is now owned by Miss Abby Cole. Part of the land owned by hi
3 CONC m in Swansea is now a part of Warren, R.I.
3 CONT He died in Swansea, Jan. 22, 1699, and was buried in the Southern extre
3 CONC me of Meadow Neck, now known as Howland Meadow in Barrington, in what i
3 CONC s known as the Typer Point Cemetery. He had ten children, the first se
3 CONC ven wer born in Plymouth, the other three in Swansea.

2 CONT Regarding Margaret Olson's message about James Cole and The Great
2 CONT Migration information on his origins:
2 CONT -------
2 CONT Date: Sat, 11 Jul 1998 10:07:00 -0500 (CDT)
2 CONT From: Margaret Olson
2 CONT To: COLE-L@rootsweb.com
2 CONT Subject: James COLE of Plymouth, MA
2 CONT
2 CONT James COLE's origins are given as Barnstaple, Devonshire. His marriage i
2 CONC s given as 1 May 1625 to Mary Tibbes [ref Thomas Wainwright, ed. Barnst
2 CONC aple Parish Registers of Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538 AD to 18
2 CONC 12 AD (Exeter 1903)]. Mary died after Mar 1659/60 [Plymouth Colony
2 CONT Records 3:181]. The births of sons James and Hugh are on pages 68 and 7
2 CONC 0 respectively of the Barnstaple Parish Registers.
2 CONT
2 CONT Margaret Edmondson Olson granddaughter of Lucy May COLE Russell of New Y
2 CONC ork City and Princeton, NJ. Lucy May's Cole ancestors were mostly from t
2 CONC he Swansea/Bristol RI area.
2 CONT -------
2 CONT Margaret: What is Lucy May Cole's line?
2 CONT In 1995, a researcher told me about the Barnstaple discovery. He did no
2 CONC t mention the Migration book, nor had I seen it. He implied that he had h
2 CONC ired a researcher in England, who discovered this info. This was the fi
2 CONC rst I'd heard of the Barnstaple connection, although for years I had di
2 CONC sbelieved the Mary Lobel story and had intended to put a detailed proof i
2 CONC n the book that Mary Lobel was not the wife of James Cole.
2 CONT Coincidentally, I had a trip to England planned in August 1995, right a
2 CONC fter getting this info. I therefore visited the Devon Record Office in E
2 CONC xeter and got copies of the actual old entries for the marriage of Jame
2 CONC s Cole and Mary Tibbes (also spelled Tibbs and Tybbs in the records) an
2 CONC d various other records. They include the birth records for James and H
2 CONC ugh as well as data on Mary's family.
2 CONT I took with me to Barnstaple the notes from the researcher who first se
2 CONC nt me this info. He had transcribed the original records, which are ver
2 CONC y hard to read. This transcription allowed me to easily find the record
2 CONC s and make copies of the pages.
2 CONT James Coale married Mary Tibbes in Barnstaple 8 [not 1] May 1625
2 CONT James, son of James Coale, was bapt. in Barnstaple 11 Feb 1626/7
2 CONT Hugh, son of James Coales, was bapt. in Barnstaple 29 June 1628--this r
2 CONC ecord is particularly hard to read.
2 CONT Mary was baptised in Barnstaple on 15 June 1598, the daughter of John T
2 CONC ybbs
2 CONT John Tibbs married Margarett Harris married in Barnstaple on 11 Oct 15
2 CONC 93
2 CONT They had 9 children (except for Mary's, I did not copy these records--t

2 CONT Nychole (female) bapt. 29 Aug 1594
2 CONT Julian bapt. 14 March 1597
2 CONT Marye bapt 15 June 1598

2 CONT Thomas Harrys married Alse Thorne in Barnstaple on 10 Nov 1572 (these o
2 CONC ld records are very hard to read). They had at least 8 children in Bar

3 CONC es family, or in any family there in that time. That's unusual. Alth
3 CONC ough I haven't done too much English research, in other parishes that I h
3 CONC ave done, I've found patterns of names very predictable. I notice (on I
3 CONC GI) that there was a Hugh Cole of London which was probably the reason t
3 CONC hat James' parents were identified as James/Mary Lobell Cole by earlie
3 CONC r researchers. There were not many entries on the Tibbes family of var
3 CONC ious spellings. They may have moved into Barnstable from elsewhere. I
3 CONC f I can't find my notes, I'm going to do it over again next year at SL
3 CONC C. THose death records are important as it may indicate an earlier ge
3 CONC neration. I'm mad at myself for losing these notes.

3 CONT However, I am not ready to concede until I examine the document and its s
3 CONC ource material . I have always suspected the James Cole of Highgate an
3 CONC d the Jame Cole of Plymouth of not being the same person. James of Plym
3 CONC outh just seems too young to have known King James well enough to have r
3 CONC eceived a charter of land, to have met and married the daughter of the K
3 CONC ing's physician, and to have held onto the land charter for a number of y
3 CONC ears before exercising the option. It seems more likely that James of P
3 CONC lymouth is one of the sons of James of Highgate, and that some of the o

2 CONT SUICIDE OF Mr. E. P. COLE
2 CONT
2 CONT Mr. E. P. Cole, a very early settler 6 miles north of here along the r
2 CONC oad to Chesterton, where he has lived for 40 years, has had some troubl
2 CONC e 3 or 4 years past with Mr. Johon, living near there, feeling grossly w
2 CONC ronged but yet averse to lawing; and perhaps had other matters worrying h
2 CONC is mind. He had in months past frequently expressed himself so tired o
2 CONC f life as to desire to die. He wrote a letter with a pencil, dated 7th o
2 CONC f June, which covered one large page, describing how he felt about the c
2 CONC ourse of Johon in perverting and transcending their agreement as to Joh
2 CONC on's taking fallen timber from his premises. The other side of that sam
2 CONC e sheet was partly covered with a writing dated June 8, which was suppl
2 CONC emental to the writing of the 7th, and declared his weariness of life a
2 CONC nd preference for death. Upon another slip of writing dated June 9, he r
2 CONC equested R. P. Jones and John P. [sic] Cole his son, to act with Mrs. S
2 CONC ally Cole his widow, as administrators; said he wished his widow to hav
2 CONC e all his property for life, except some notions he desired to have dis
2 CONC tributed to his grandchildren.
2 CONT
2 CONT After dinner Saturday, the 9th, he told his wife that he was going to t
2 CONC he barn to spread some grass to dry, and so went out. Some time elapse
2 CONC d, and Mrs. Cole, on looking out saw cattle near the barn in mischief, a
2 CONC nd went out to drive them off. While doing this she called to Mr. Cole t
2 CONC o come and help, but got no answer. This excited her surprise, and dre
2 CONC w attention to the barn door, which she found fastened on the outside i
2 CONC n a way that was unusual. She looked in and saw her husband hanging by a l
2 CONC og chain, fastened to a pole above the threshing floor, to all appearan
2 CONC ce dead; and certainly beyond her power alone to rescue. She immediate
2 CONC ly gave alarm, and John C. Cole, and others soon arrived and took him d
2 CONC own. They hoped he was not too far gone to be restored, and used such e
2 CONC fforts as they could, but all in vain.

2 CONT ------------------
2 CONT The subject of this notice was the last survivor of a family of six ch
2 CONC ildren, two boys and four girls. She was born in Tioga County, N.Y. in t
2 CONC he year 1810, and during the period of numerous Indian massacres which p
2 CONC revailed previous to the War of 1812. This County was at that time a c
2 CONC entral rendezvous of the belligerant tribes and very sparsely settled b
2 CONC y whites. Her father and a few friends had emigrated from Vermont and b
2 CONC rought with them the creed "Trust in God and keep your powder dry." Th
2 CONC ey were particular to observe this last clause of this motto as it was t
2 CONC he prime necessity of the little colony of white settlers. After the t
2 CONC reaty of peace which followed the War her father emigrated West and set
2 CONC tled in Auron [sic, Huron] County, Ohio in 1814. At this time northern O
2 CONC hio was an unbroken wilderness and there was but little to encourage se
2 CONC ttlement and emigration was slow and White neighborhoods few and far be
2 CONC tween. But her father built his hope and had faith that the great chai
2 CONC n of lakes would build up a trade that would result in founding an Empi
2 CONC re in the West. In the year 1825 the Erie Canal, which had been in con
2 CONC struction for eight years, was completed. Fresh hopes were born, and t
2 CONC hose of the colony who had made improvements on their farm were amply r
2 CONC ewarded and the country received a large immigration from the New Engla
2 CONC nd states. At this time Carthiette Cole was 15 years of age and had be
2 CONC en reared within the daily sound of the Indian war whoop and the nightl
2 CONC y brawls of wolves. Although schools were nearly unknown outside the v
2 CONC illages she acquired a good education and in the prime of life was well p
2 CONC osted in the events of the day although her reading was principally con
2 CONC fined to religious books. In 1832 she was married to Daniel Osborn, wh
2 CONC o was born near New Haven, Connecticut, and settled in Ohio in 1829. T
2 CONC hey continued to live in the same neighborhood until 1858 when they mov
2 CONC ed to Porter County, settling at Jackson Center. Her husband was calle
2 CONC d by death in 1880, since which time she has lived with her son Edward. S
2 CONC he leaves six children, 23 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren. Sh
2 CONC e had an unyielding faith in the immortality of the soul, and her rule o
2 CONC f action was based on this belief.

2 CONT MRS. JOHN C. COLE AND FAMILY.

2 CONT ANOTHER PIONEER GONE
2 CONT John C. Cole, one of Porter county's earliest settlers, passed away at h
2 CONC is home in Woodville, Sunday, Dec. 31, 1905, of pneumonia, after an ill
2 CONC ness of four days, aged 69 years, 11 months, 4 days.
2 CONT John C. Cole, son of Edward P. and Sally (Dillingham) Cole, was born i
2 CONC n Huron county, Ohio, January 27, 1836. Two years later the family cam
2 CONC e to Northern Indiana and began the strenuous task of creating a home i
2 CONC n the forest wilderness. In those days the marks of civilization were f
2 CONC ew; the deer roamed at will through the woods, and even a few Indians s
2 CONC till remained. [I understand Edward and John left the doors unlatched s
2 CONC o Indians could come in during the night and warm themselves on chilly n
2 CONC ights] Succeeding years saw the forest areas transformed into cultivate
2 CONC d fields.
2 CONT In his twentieth year, Mr. Cole was married to Mary A. Osborn, a nativ
2 CONC e of Huron county, Ohio. He then began his home making a short distanc
2 CONC e from the paternal estate. He toiled sturdily and successfully. At t
2 CONC he outbreak of the civil war he enlisted with Company E., 73rd Ind. Vol
2 CONC . Infantry, and served three years, becoming orderly sergeant, with spe
2 CONC cial charge at times of ordinance and commissary. With his regiment he p
2 CONC articipated in the battles of Perryville, Chapel Hill and a raid to Ala
2 CONC bama where they were captured and paroled and placed on guard duty. [He e
2 CONC vidently took this seriously enough to help the Confederates repel a Un
2 CONC ion attack on the prison (!)] He was mustered out of service at Nashvi
2 CONC lle July 10, 1865.
2 CONT In 1880 Mr. Cole founded Woodville Station, on the B. & O. railroad, a
2 CONC nd removed to that place in 1882.
2 CONT Several days ago an attack of pneumonia, made more serious by failing h
2 CONC ealth, terminated a long and well spent life. The funeral was held Jan
2 CONC uary 2, at the Methodist church in Chesterton, Revs. Smock and Smith of
2 CONC ficiating. Ritualistic services were conducted by the Masonic order un
2 CONC der the auspices of Calumet Lodge, No. 379, of which Mr. Cole had been a m
2 CONC ember since 1872. Several touching tributes of respect were tendered b
2 CONC y men who had been his life long friends. Interment took place in the C
2 CONC hesterton cemetery.
2 CONT Besides the loving wife there remain to mourn, two daughters and three s
2 CONC ons --Etta Griswold, Adah Freer, Daniel E., George J., and Frederic H.; a b
2 CONC rother, C. C. Cole, and a sister, Lois McCorkel.
2 CONT Mr. Cole was a useful member of the community in which he lived. He h
2 CONC ad been long identified with the Republican party, which had tendered h
2 CONC im several offices of trust. [More on his feelings about the Republican p
2 CONC arty a little later] He was scrupulously honest, square in his dealing
2 CONC s with his fellow men and kind to the needy.
2 CONT May he rest in peace.

2 CONT 4 January 1906
2 CONT MEMORIAM
2 CONT At a called meeting of Calumet Lodge No. 379 F. & A.M. at 8 o'clock A
2 CONC .M. on January 2, 1906, the following resolutions were adopted:
2 CONT RESOLVED, That a committee be appointed to draft a resolution of respe
2 CONC ct and condolence on the death of Brother John C. Cole. To have the s
2 CONC ame printed in the CHESTERTON TRIBUNE, a copy sent to the bereaved fami
2 CONC ly, and a copy spread on the records of our lodge.
2 CONT THEREFORE, Be it remembered that, in the death of Brother John C. Cole
2 CONC , his family has lost an affectionate husband, a kind father, the commu
2 CONC nity a true and benevolent friend and this lodge a faithful and consist
2 CONC ent member.
2 CONT Brother John C. Cole was made an entered apprentice mason in Calumet L
2 CONC odge No. 379 on February 26th, passed to the degree of a fellow craft o
2 CONC n March 16th, and raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason on Apr
2 CONC il 8th, 1872. In 1880 he was elected Seignior Warden and in 1887 he wa
2 CONC s elected Worshipful Master of Calumet Lodge, being the highest honor t
2 CONC his lodge could bestow upon him.
2 CONT We therefore sincerely mourn the loss of our dear brother, John C. Col
2 CONC e.

2 CONT 9comm.
2 CONT
2 CONT From The Chesterton Tribune, Chesterton, IN, 4 Jan. 1906
2 CONT --Woodville--
2 CONT When J. C. Cole died Sunday morning, the community lost one of its bes
2 CONC t and most respected citizens and gentlemen as well. One who left the w
2 CONC orld he lived in far better than he found it, and always saw the best i
2 CONC n others and always gave the best he had, therefore we mourn our loss.
