This family is very much speculation. Abraham
Cole lived near Zacheriah Kirkland and Mary in Henry Co., Alabama.
He
seems to be the right age to be Mary's grandfather rather than
father.
I suspect her father, Abraham Jr., listed here probably died while
she
was young. She may have actually been raised by her grandfather.
He is
also the only Cole in Henry Co. Alabama.
Even though Abraham Cole in Alabama in 1850 claims he was born in
North
Carolina, we have no proof that he was still living there in
1790. He would be only ten years old in 1790 and would
have
to live with his family. Here are only a few possible
families
that could be related.

(no other Abraham or Solomon Cole in any county in NC)
There is some evidence that Abraham Cole may be the son of Solomon
Cole. Although the census of 1850 says that Abraham was born
in
North Carolina, there was a good deal of movement between North
and
South Carolina due to Indian incursions. There is a
Solomon
Cole in South Carolina in 1790. Solomon has 5 males under
age 16
and 3 females and no slaves.
