Rachel Parson

  General Notes:

" have no information regarding Rachel Parsons Cole other than what I found online. Her first husband appears to be Edwin F. Cole b. 3 Feb. 1819 Brookline, Windham, VT. They married abt. 1846 and had four children. He died in 1861 Ft. Ridgley, MN Children were Perry M., Alvin T., Mary A. and Clara E. all born in Fond du Lac, WI. This information is off the internet and I have not verified it. It seems to be incorrect in that it places Rachel's birth year as 1815. Another source list her date of birth as 1821. I do have a photograph of Gilbert and his wife Millicent Luce and would be happy to send along a copy." (Katherine Roehm on ancestry.com message board on 12 Nov 2003)
