Is supposed to be Cherokee Indian.

Birth and death dates are from tombstone.

Listed in the 1860 Cherokee County, Texas Census, as Viney Cole, age 30, born AL. With husband and daughters.

Listed in 1880 Cherokee County, Texas census as Malissa Cole, age 50, widowed, born Mississippi, parents born Alabama. With John, Nancy, and children. There is a Martin family nearby--possibly related?

There are records of a William P. Cole marrying a Vina M. Martin on 7/2/1854 in Pontotoc, MS. I'm guessing this is Vina Melissa, as the two are found in Texas in 1860.
