Biography

BENJAMIN COLE Jr (son of BENJAMIN and SQUCIE (FONES) (PLACE) COLE was born on 18 Nov 1751 in North Kingstown, RI. BENJAMIN COLE, Jr. moved with his family from North Kingstown to Washington Co., N.Y. in 1794 and settled near Hebron. He was a wheelwright by trade, and remained in Washington County for some twenty years. In 1814, BENJAMIN moved to Jefferson County, NY and settled on a farm north of the Town of Adams, near Honeyville. Benjamin and Martha joined the Honeyville Church of Christ, by letter, in 1829.

He was blind for many years, and finally had to give up farming, and he and Martha went to live with their son Joseph and his wife Fanny, on a farm near Smithville. On 21 August 1832, Benjamin Cole, then residing in Jefferson County, NY, made application in the Town of Adams for a pension based on his service performed in the Revolutionary War. He died on 26 Oct 1839 in Adams. He is apparently buried in Hebron, Washington Co., NY, however, or possibly a stone was erected in his memory when his wife died there some two years later. No grave marker is found for him in Jefferson County. The Washington County, NY markers for Benjamin and his wife are in the Grimes Hill (Smith) Cemetery, north of Hebron.

He married on 18 Nov 1783 in North Kingstown, RI
