Hi,
This is basically what I have attached on Frederick Cool of Washington Co.,
PA...census says he and his wife born NJ.
I have the book The BarentJacobsen Cool Family, and feel they connect but
don't have Frederick's wife's full name nor their marriage date.
The attached from Frederick on down (4) generations...notes, etc.
Wish I could get some documentation on Frederick's marriage to Mary unknown.
See what you think and let me know...I can give you how it connects (I
believe on back as well).

Frederick Cool on the 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830 and 1840 census for Hanover,
Washington Co., PA census
COOL/EGBERT
My ancestor Simon COOL was born 9 AUG 1789 in Amwell to Frederick & Mary
(EGBERT) COOL. Mary EGBERT in turn was born in Readington on 8 JUN 1760 to
Nicholas & Maria EGBERT according to the IGI. Seek information about births,
parentage, marriages and deaths for the above. I believe the COOL line goes
back to Barent COOL and the EGBERT line goes back to Govert EGBERT, both
settlers to New Jersey in the 1600s.
Ruth Volk -
I've hired a genealogist, Nancy Bartoo, to do some
research on the Cools in western PA (as well as some
research on some of my other lines.) Nancy knew that
from 1852 through 1854, Pa counties were required to
keep birth, marriage and death records. She looked
for the death record of Mary Cool, wife of Frederick,
and found it:
"DEATH RECORD: 1852-1854 Vital Statistics, Washington
County, Pa. Deaths, 1853, #6: Mary Cool, white,
female, 74 years, Father: Peter Cool, Mother: Alice
Cool, occupation: gentlewoman, place of birth: St.
Clair Township, Allegheny County, Pa., Name of issue
living: Polly, Nancy, Alice, William, Abner, Matilda.
Date of death: May 14, '53, 7 PM, Place of death:
Hanover Twp, Wash. Co, Pa., Name and location of
burial ground: Frankfort, Person returning
certificate: J. M? Dungan, M.D., His residence:
Frankfort Springs, Wash. Co., Pa., Date of
certificate: May 21, '53, Date of registration: May
24, '53."
The divergence between May 14, 1853 and May 19, 1853
(the previously reported death date for Mary) is
probably just a typo. That this is Mary Cool, wife of
Frederick Cool, is confirmed, I think, by the fact
that she's a Frankfort Springs resident with a
daughter, Matilda. We know that Frederick's wife was
Mary from his will and that they had a daughter
Matilda from both Frederick's and Mary's wills.
What's fascinating about this is that the death record
states that her parents were Peter and Alice Cool!
This would indicate that Frederick and Mary were
cousins. The following is some census data on a Peter
Cool who may be Mary's father:
1790 Census, PA, Allegheny County (portion taken from
Washington County), page 75: Peter Cool, 1 male over
16, three males under 16, three females, no nonwhites.
1800 Census, PA, Allegheny County, St. Clair Township,
image 8 of 10: Peter Cool, two males 0-10, two males
10-16, one male 45 or older; one female 16-25.
1830 Census, PA, Allegheny County, St. Clair Township,
image 19 of 58: Peter Cool, one male 5-10, one male
15-20, one male 40-50, one female under 5, one female
5-10, one female 40-50.
The third census, 1830, is more probably for a son of
the 1790 Peter Cool.
Also, I came across a 1850 Peter Cool, 61, wife,
Eleanor, 63, living in Pittsburgh, with children John,
Frederick, Mary, Eleanor and Emma. This couldn't be
the 1790 Peter, but it may be the 1830 Peter. Naming
the son Frederick is interesing. (OBTW, these Cools
including the parents were all born in Pa, except
oldest son John, who was born in Ireland, which is
kinda special.)
Thought you'd be interested in this. Also, I was
looking at my database for info on Peter, son of
Frederick and Mary, and don't have anything on him. I
had thought you had told me something about him. Do
you have anything on him?
