Thomas Cole was the father of Francis Cole so that makes him my 3rd great - grandfather. He was born December 19, 1828 in Goulbourn, Carleton county, Ontario to James Ezekial Cole and Marie Archange LaRoche. Thomas was the second oldest of 8 children who seem to have all been born in this area of the Ottawa Valley. His siblings were Jane [Katie] (1826), John (1831), Francis (1834), Margaret (1835), James (1837), Elizabeth (1841), Emily (1844) and George (1846). I don't have the specific date, but I do know that Thomas married Catherine Charlotte Gibbons in 1855 at Ottawa, Ontario. I am going to do some further searching to see if I can find a copy of their marriage certificate. After their marriage, they moved to Horton, Renfrew county, Ontario and raised their family. Thomas passed away in Renfrew, Ontario on December 3, 1897 at the age of 68.
