Celea married Seth Cole, son of Ebenezer and Ruth Churchill Cole, Sep 15, 1780 in Chesterfield, Hampshire, Massachusetts, USA.
Celea Sampson was baptized Aug 12, 1764 in Duxbury Parish, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA. She was living in Chautauqua, New York in 1840.
While not famous in the "classic sense," during the war of 1812, Celea Sampson, "Widow Cole," saw a number of boats crossing Lake Erie; apparently manned by British soldiers. She rode to Fredonia, sounding the alarm, and was later honored with a plaque (an image of that plaque honoring Celea is included with this post).
