Howard, I have a copy of Dr. Bruce P'Pool's book. It is not organized in any manner that I am familiar with, so I had to browse a couple of hundred pages to find the following:(Quote)
Bedford Pettypool was the first child of Capt. Stephen T. Pettypool and Mildred Washington Gregory of Mecklenburg County, Virginia. He was born July 10, 1798 in Mecklenburg Cunty, VA. He came to Trigg County, Kentucky about 1850.
Bedford Pettypool and Ann Mariah Cole were united in marriage about 1853, of this union there were five children, all lived to maturity and reared families. Ann Mariah Cole was the second wife of Bedford Pettypool and was born in 1829 and passed away June 8, 1897, near Cadiz, Kentucky, at the home of her daughter, Sally Gregory Pettypool Cravens. Death was causd from colitis. Funeral was at her daughters home and was buried in the Cemetery near Wallonia, Ky. She was in the 68th year of age.
Ann Mariah Cole was an orphan girl, she came to live with Bedford Pettypool and wife. She lived with Bedford Pettypool until his wife died, then she went to Cadiz, Ky. to live with Mr. Searcy and family, then later Bedford Pettypool and Ann Mariah Cole were married. (unquote).
There follows about 9-10 typed pages relating to the children of Bedford and Ann. I don't believe there is anything else, other than above, about Ann Mariah Cole's parents, etc. I'd be glad to copy and send these pages to you if requested.
