Biographical Review, Otsego county, NY:
(Also see notes of his father,Eseck and grandfather, Sisson)
       Eseck Cole, one of the oldest resident farmers of the town of Richfield, has lived on this farm, which was settled by his grandfather in 1793, nearly all of his life. . .
       (He) was born on the farm, 24 Jun 1817 and has always lived upon it, with the exception of two and a half years spent in Michigan.  When a boy he labored hard upon the farm, living with his father until he died, and then with his grandfather until his death.  The farm then came into his possession, and in time he purchased the interests of the other heirs.
       His mother died at the home of one of her daughters, when eighty-three years old.
(Information about wife and children entered here.)
       Mr. Cole is a Republican in politics.  His wife is a member of the Presbyterian, and their daughter of the Baptist Church.  ((Mary E. lived with her parents in their later years, her brother Menzo passed away young.)
       Mr. Cole has served on the Board of Supervisors three terms, 1859, 1860 and 1861, is one of the most prominent citizens of the county, and has witnessed many changes during the course of his long life.  Many friends surround this aged couplek, and their declining days are those of pleasantness and peace.

Menzo was unmarried and a baptist by faith.  He was buried in the Cole Cemetery, Richfield Springs, Otsego County, NY.

Biographical Review, Otsego County, p. 433:
       (Also see bio of his father, grandfather and great grandfather.)
       Menzo was a young man of exceedingly bright intellect, and was given to much study, so much so, in fact, that his intense application unbalanced his mind and doubtless shortened his life.

       (Also see bio of her father, brother, grandfather and great grandfather.)
       Mary Elizabeth was unmarried and lived at home on the farm with her parents and "is their help and solace in their declining years.  She is a lady of intelligence and much general information, and taught school four terms in Herkimer County, and two terms in Otsego County.  The effect of this confinement upon her health was such that she was compelled to abandon the profession."
