I am presently researching information about my great-grandfather, Captain Sam Haas for the prupose of joining UDC. I believe that I will soon have all necessary records about his service.

However, I am also interested in finding out more about the family of his late wife, Martha Cole Haas, daughter of John and Lavinia Hudson Cole. I wondered whether she was any relation to the "Solomon Cole" you mentioned in your posting or knew of any other relatives she may have had.

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

Martha Haas Gilley
