Biography

Mary Woodcock was born in 1800, probably in Portland Township, Frontenac County, daughter of Abraham Woodcock and Katharine Peterson. She was baptized 29 September1801 in Fredericksburgh, Lennox County. In 1819 she married William John Wood in Kingston. They had probably two children in Loughborough Township, Frontenac County. In 1827 she petitioned for land on the basis of her United Empire Loyalist father . Around 1830 she married Garrett Isaac Cool (Coole, Cole), a shoemaker. They are recorded for six children born in the 1830s in Hastings County and (at least 1833-1836) in the United States. In 1861 and 1871 they were in Hungerford Township, Hastings County. Garrett died in 1871 in Hungerford. Reportedly Mary died in 1877 (primary source not seen).

Arnold Weirmeir Associated Families, https://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=arnoldvw&id=I1855 lists 6 children for second marriage: SarahCole b 25 Oct 1830 in Hungerford Twp., Matilda Coole b ~1830, Isaac Coole b 7 Feb 1883 in USA, Peter Coole b 6 May 1836 in USA, Sarah Coole b 14 Dec 1839 in Hungerford Twp., and John Coole b before 1840 in Hastings County. These dates overlap those of the six children recorded for Mary's first marriage, so both cannot be right.
