I must apologize to anyone who may have searched for and found nothing new on my blog as I was off the Internet for quite some time and just recently my circumstances changed so that I was able to get back on and continue with my blogs.
I am still unable to do Ancestry research or join the other site that has all the most newspapers which I am hoping to find some mention somewhere of my great great grandmothers marriage and or birth notice in the paper of her first child and maybe the obituary of her mother that will at least prove or disprove if her mother died in child-birth, or if in fact she was the child of Servia/Sophia and not of Rhoda as I expect. Of course her great grandfather mentions her in his will, as the daughter of his daughter Rhoda Austin Cole who was deceased, but Rhoda's death date precedes the date we have for her daughter's birth which makes it IMPOSSIBLE for her to have birthed her: unless: the dates (mother's death or daughter's birth) are wrong as it would seem that Rhoda could have died right after the daughter Jane was born and that would seem possible and even right for Rhoda's sister to raise Jane in her household until she was married 25 May 1848 according to some, my mother included. The first child we know of being born to Jane was born in 1853. Jane would have been 11 years old when she married, but she was included in the household of Palmer and Sophia/Servia Cole in the 1850 census being 13 years of age, if born in 1837 and no mention of a husband there. A Jonathan was listed that fits with the earlier census' as being a son of Palmer and Sophia, and then a Permelia who is first mentioned here in 1850 and I believe is Jonathan's wife. I can't wait to get back into my research. I really would like to find out the truth of the matter if at all possible. Either way, if Jane is Rhoda's or Sophia's they both being daughters of Ezra Austin, would make the siblings all relative anyway and the ancestors of Ezra the same. And as I suspect Palmer and Solomon were brothers too, so that side of the tree would also have the same ancestors most likely at least for the generations concerned.
Speaking of research, I haven't been on Ancestry for many a year now so I hope when I return there will be a lot more for me to search than before and when I get the other site, I am hoping that there is a newspaper or article there that will mention my ancestors and clear up the mystery for me. I want to search Illinois also again as I think they may have been there when the census' was carried out and that is why I find no record of them for the year they aren't listed in the NYS federal census. It could be they got married in Illinois or even had their first child there. There are some Cole children listed as heirs in Ezra's will that were in Illinois at the time. Well until next time. Happy Searching.
