Michael - from Portrait & Biographical Album of Gratiot County MI Chicago Chapman Bros 1884:
ISRAEL COLE, Postmaster at Edgewood, this County, is a son of LEONARD COLE, a native of Ulster Co., NY, now deceased, and was born in Orange County, same State, Nov 17, 1808. He received all the advantages which the common schools of his native county afforded, and lived and developed into manhood while a resident of the State, remaining there until 1833, except from the fall of 28 to the fall of 29, which time he spent in the South. In the spring of that year, having united himself in marriage a year previous, 1832, to Miss MARY J HOPKINS, he and his young bride moved to Orleans County, their native State, and entered on life's battles. Mr. Cole then traveled as a Methodist Protestant preacher for 23 years, until 1856, when he and his partner in life settled in ERIE County, New York. Here he followed the occupation of a farmer for six years, then engaged in working at masonry during the summers and working in a mill until until November 1878, when, having lost his wife, with two of his children he came to this State. He settled in Edgewood and opened a general mercantile store, in which business, together with that of Postmaster, he is now engaged and obtaining his portion of the trade of the community. Mr and Mrs. Cole had born to them the following children: Margaret (Chapman, of Boston, Mass) Agnes (Knapp) Leonard (of Las Vegas, NM) Isabella (Stetson, of Lee Co, Ill) Theresa and Seneca M (live at home) Alexander (La Junta, Col) Louisa (Lawler, of St. Thomas, Can), and MARY A (SHUMAN, of this township).

Mary Jane Hopkins d/o William Henry Hopkins b 1775 Scotland d 1840 New Orleans, LA & Margaret unk b 1784 IRE d 1870 Monroe CO., NY - probably Clarkson. Info from tree at Ancestry - not sourced tho. If Israel spent that time in the south maybe he was visiting his in-laws in LA?
In 1930 Owosso, Shiawassee, MI Mary is living with married daughter Florence Sperry & her family - perhaps Mary died there. I looked at the Genweb & findagrave.com but I didn't find records there for anyone in the family.
If you don't have access to the census or if there's elseanything I could try to help with OK to email me direct at karimagameel@yahoo.com....hope this helps a bit :)
