		No photo of Ann Cole is available Based on what is known about Ann Cole, she may have resembled this person.
		Ann Cole remembered by Willie Moore in the 1980's. Of note, Ann was remembered as carrying baskets of laundry on her head. Years ago it struck me that carrying things on your head is associated with Africans, and my third great grandmother carried baskets on her head. This post was prompted by Joyce mentioning seeing YouTube videos about the efficiency of carrying heavy objects.
		Ann and Charlie Cole lived in Bethel Springs, TN. They lived near the M&O railroad tracks, much like the Browns. The Coles have been traced to Macon, MS which is also on the M&O tracks.

		Various historical documents from footnote.com website We know little if nothing about our early american ancestors. During Black History month Footnote.com made several documents and images available. Some of these images and documents I copied for use on this site, I've associated them with "Anne". All we know about Anne, is her name. Anne's daughter is believed to have been one of the first of our ancestors born in North America.

		Senate passes bill that paves way for formation of African American Burial Grounds Network The bill, which authorizes the Department of the Interior to conduct a comprehensive study of Black burial grounds nationwide, paves the way for Congress to establish the African American Burial Grounds Network — a project that would enable historians, archaeologists and preservationists to coordinate efforts, create a nationwide database, receive grant funding and more. Few Black burial grounds remain intact in Charleston. Gullah Society wants to save them. LOCAL AND STATE NEWS
