General Notes: Husband - James Cole, Sr.

---

He and his brothers came from Maine, settled in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, and bought 150 acres on Neville island; after paying for that they purchased 150 acres more, thus owning all of the upper end of Neville, which was heavy timber-land. They cleared away the timber, and sold the cordwood to steamboats on the Ohio river.

He and his brothers came from Maine to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, in 1814, traveling from the lake by wagon. The brothers purchased three hundred acres on Neville island, about one-third of the entire island.
James, Sr., was a farmer on Neville island until 1832, when he purchased property in Allegheny City and resided there until 1843, engaged in general merchandising. In that year his health failed and he returned to his old home on Neville island, where he spent the balance of his life.
