Father's Of The Ridge, Volume 1
Cole I
The patriarch of the Cole family in Greene County was Dennis Cole, born in North Carolina in 1800. In 1830 the Cole family was in Wake County, North Carolina. Eight children were born in the Cole family while they were still in North Carolina: Oscar, 1831. Dennis Jr,, 1835; Ransom, 1839; Mary, 1841; Henry H., 1842; Sidney, 1844; and Carey T., 1846.
The family moved to Henderson County, Tennessee in about 1847 and several more children were born there: N.C., 1848; Calvin, 1850; Mary C., 1852; Patrie Dowd, 1854; Louis W., 1856; and Edna L., 1857.
The family moved to Greene County in about 1857 and took up residence in Cache Township. More children were born here: Permelia N., 1858; Clara A., 1859; and Robert H., 1866.
While the Dennis Cole family was still in Henderson County, Tennessee, John T. and Elizabeth Cole were living next to them, John was born in North Carolina in 1827 and Elizabeth was born in Tennessee in 1829. It seems likely that Dennis and John T, were related. The John T. Cole family came to Greene COunty in about 1870 and they lived in Union Township. In 1880 their children at home were: Zilpha, 1854; John, 1855; Edward, 1862; Vicy, 1864; Sarah E., 1866 and Caledonia, 1871. The five older children were born in Tennessee and Caledonia was born in Arkansas.
