  • Notes 
    • The following comments were copied from the Find-a-Grave memorial for Ezekiel:

      Revolutionary War veteran

      In 1795 Ezekiel Cole (Sik Kohl) bult the first Grist Mill in Northern Columbia County at "Cole Town" at the mouth of Coles Creek and continued to operate the mill untill 1820 when it was turned over to his son, Ezekiel Cole Jr. who operated the mill until 1848 when he died. Albert Cole, eldest son of Ezekiel's son Alinas Cole,continued to operate the mill until his death in 1917. In 1918 the property was sold at a public sale to Byron Keller and the old mill was removed in 1920.

      The water power from this mill furnished power for four buhr flour and feed mills and a saw mill. The buhrs were imported from France. The water wheel and transmission equipment were handmade wood. The mill always enjoyed a healthy number of customers even from over the mountain in Sullivan County.

      The location of death (Easton Northampton County) on this site is in question as it does not agree with the record in the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Church and Town Records. The date is in agreement.
