Marriage Documents for Isaac and Margaret
One document that is hand written by Wm Thompson that states the following:
"I certify that I am satisfyed that Isac Coal shol have my daughter Margaret
to wife given under my hand this 20th January 1796 --"
signed by John Stuart Clerk , John Thomson, Wm Thomson
(there is something written before Wm's name but it is not legible).
ADD ONE MORE DOC- (different marriage years?)
regarding the marriage of Isaac Cole & Margaret Thompson.
The origin of the information is "U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900" -
Isaac Cole & Margaret Thompson wed in 1793 in the state of VA.
It listed Isaac Cole, born in 1760 in the state of NY & Margaret Thompson, born in 1770 in the state of VA.
APRIL 2020 UPDATE- STILL SEARCHING FOR HIS PARENTS
We encourage males to have Y-DNA (Y-67 at least) and Autosomal testing
performed to help identify Isaac Cole's origins....
PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU OR ANOTHER DESCENDANT DOES THIS!
THANK YOU
Isaac Cole is 6 generations back, and autosomal DNA testing beyond 6 generations is not very reliable. It would be incredibly useful for other Cole Males who are descendant from Isaac Cole to have both Autosomal and YDNA performed. If we can find a male descendant closer to Isaac Cole (5 generations to Isaac Cole or less), this may allow autosomal DNA to reach beyond the limitations of 6th generation autosomal testing.
Article by Henry Clay Ragland:
"History of Logan County," Henry Clay Ragland, 1896, chapter XIV.
Isaac Cole, a native of England, who came to Montgomery County, just before the War of the Revolution, who was a gallant soldier for our independence and who was with the Clay brothers in following the Indians down Cole river as heretofore mentioned, settled near where Major Straton now lives, about the year 1800, where he lived for about one year, and buried one of his daughters; and then moved to Island Creek, and settled near the mouth of what is now known as Cole Branch. His wife was Kate Thompson, of Montgomery County, (Now Giles County) Virginia. They married in 1796 in VA. After remaining on Island Creek for a year his family became tired of frontier life, and he returned to his old home near Pearisburg where he died at an advanced age. Isaac Cole was a noted scout and a man of great force of character and will power.
