The question was posed on the Coudersport Remember When group, "Anyone know if the name Colesburg has any connection to Charles Cole?" So I thought I would post my answer here, since it does involve the family trees of several Potter County Residents.
Colesburg was named for Lewis Burnham Cole Sr, b. July 18, 1806 d. February 10, 1882.
He married Mary Bishop, b. Nov 10, 1814, d. Aug 8, 1853.
Lewis was the son of Royal & Hannah Stephens Cole.
Mary was the daughter of Morris Bishop & Marib Botsford.
Marib was buried in the Eulalia Cemetery and her sister, Anner Botsford, married to Dennis Hall was buried in the Homer Cemetery.
Lewis Burnham Cole Sr was also buried in the Eulalia cemetery. Lewis and Mary Bishop Cole are the 2nd great grandparents of the late Charlie Cole and his brother, Ken Cole.
Anner & her sister, Mary Botsford were daughters of Ephraim Botsford Jr, and are documented, through the D.A.R. as a Revolutionary War Veteran.
Some descendants of Ephraim Botsford Jr who live or lived in Potter County are the Von Nieda children, Sally, Allyn Sue, Mary Robyn and Harold "Buzzy" Von Nieda, Allen Berfield, Paul Snyder, Ken Cole, Charles "Charlie" Cole, Brenda Kenealy Williams, Arthur Metzger & Carol Carol Metzger Wilkerson and their children and grandchildren. It's a much longer list.
Another interesting ancestor lineage of Mary Botsford Cole and Anner Botsford Hall is through their mother, Merub Doud Botsford, daughter of
Pelig Doud, son of
Rebecca Grinnell Doud, daughter of
Lydia Pabodie, daughter of
William Pabodie & Elizabeth Alden, daughter of
John Alden & Priscilla Mullins, both Mayflower passengers and the subject of the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem, "The Courtship Of Miles Standish"
