Sylvenus Cole born 1797. He was born in Massachusetts. His father was Seth Cole and his mother was Celea Sampson. I am at present trying to document Sylvenus as a War of 1812 veteran. His father was a veteran of the Revolutionary War and he lived in Dunkirk NY during the War of 1812. In fact, his mother Celea is a heroine for riding to inform the militia that the British were coming. The British were going to attack the salt ships coming in on Lake Erie and they were vital to the community to preserve foods.
If I can prove that he is a veteran of the War of 1812. I would like to see his grave marked that way.
Several of sons of Sylvenus and Anna Cole served in the Civil war with one losing his life from complications in recovery from a wound received in battle.
Daniel S., Luther, Seth and William all served in the war from Fulton County.

If you're looking at Britain's 108th Regt there is a notation on the original record (found on ancestry) "Jefferson County." Sylvenus (?) was at the other end of the state in Chautauqua County by then.
I'm trying to track down Celea and Seth's children... thanks for the help with Sylvenus/Sylvanus!
