About Elisha Cole

One source for much information on Elisha and his family is contained in "The Descendants of Elisha Cole", by Joseph O. Curtis, pub. 1909. (Though there is little information about the family prior to their move to NY.)

[based on p. 26:] Elisha and his second wife Hannah (Smalley) moved from Harwich, MA, to what is now known as Putnam County, NY during the fall of 1746 or spring of 1747. He built a log house near the stream that is the outlet of Barrett's Pond in the town of Kent. In 1748 he built a grist mill on the outlet known as Cole's Mill and this was owned and operated by a member of the Cole Family until 1888 when New York City purchased the water rights for reservoir purposes. Elisha was a Baptist preacher, he was partly paralyzed and somewhat demented before his death. The land where they settled in Putnam County was purchased from the state of NY after it had been confiscated from Roger Morris. Elisha was a member of the 7th Regt. Dutchess County Militia during the Revolutionary War.
