Augustus Washington Cole,Jr. was the son of:
Augustus Washington Cole, Sr. and Harriet Robinson Alvis.

Siblings:
Andrew Jackson Cole 1832 ~ 1913
Harriet Louise Cole Thornton 1835 ~ 1905
John Houston Cole 1845 ~ 1887
Jane H Cole 1847 ~ 1853
Silvestor A. Cole 1850 ~ 1853
Allen T Cole 1843 ~ 1923 (memorial #65933319)

Augustus never married but had 3 Children with Lucy A. Wright, daughter of Elisha F. Wright.
.
Children were:
Joseph David Cole 1866 ~ 1940
Ulysses Grant Cole 1870 ~ 1956
Florilla Beau Cole Shannon 1871 ~ 1916/1923

Tid bit of history:
Public records reveal the children's use of both surnames at various times. Examples: Florilla used surname of Wright on her license of marriage to Charles Wesley Shannon. However, surname Cole is on her admission papers to Huntington State Hospital dated June 1916 and signed by her brother, Ulysses G. Cole.
Ulysses's last will dated 9/7/1951 reflects his name as (Initials only) U. G. Wright to include he has listed his daughter in his will with the surname of Wright.

Augustus served in civil war 30th Battery Virginia Sharpshooters, Co. B, French's Mercer County Battery, Co. B, (Per record of "Sons of Confederate Veterans")

Augustus is buried on the Old Cole farmland on Powell Mountain in the Elgood area of Mercer County, West Virginia. I have found nice grave sites for Joseph and Ulysses but nothing for my grandmother Florella beyond her admission to the Huntington State Hospital. Help!!
