Subject: Tunis Cole - died 1851

Hello listers,

While searching for an illusive COLE ancestor I came across the will of a Tunis Cole in Somerset County, proved July 29, 1851. I remember others on this list researching the Cole surname so thought I would post the finding from Tunis Cole's will in case it might assist someone.

The will mentions his daughter Sarah Allen, his daughter Jemima Ryall, his daughter Elizabeth Angelman, his daughter Ann Chapman, his daughter Mary Wolfe, his daughter Christiana Jerolaman, his son Tunis, his son Isaiah, his granddaughter Henrietta (daughter of deceased son Peter), Henrietta's mother Bulah Cole, his son Jacob Henry Smith Cole, and his son Andrew Smith Cole.

Although there is mention of his wife he just refers to her as "my beloved wife" and does not name her.

Hope this might provide a missing link to someone.
