      Remarks:
      Elijah C. Cole, son of William Cole, Jr., married Mary Jane White. Their daughter Adelaide Cole married Edwin Mebane Fearrington, grandfather of Jesse Owen Fearrngton, son of John Bunyan and Annie Owen Fearrington. The Cole farm was purchased by William Cole, Sr., 20 March, 1786, and ultimately passed ownership to Jesse Owen and Willa D. Fearrington, who were the last family owners of Eureka Farm, sold to Fitch Creations in 1974. At that time there was a wrought iron gate at the entrance and stones marking other graves. Some time after 1974, the gate and unmarked stones have been removed. It is possible William Cole, Sr., and William Cole, Jr., along with other Coles are buried in the cemetery.
