He acquired 40 acres of land in downtown Lake harles, bordered by
Broad, Hodges, Kirkman, and Division streets.

During the 1850s, Jonathan H. Cole was a Clerk of Court and also acted as Sheriff of Imperial Calcasieu Parish. He operated a ferry across English Bayou where the charges were 50 cents per horse cart or clash, one dollar for ox cart or wagon, and 10 cents for footman or lead horse.

Cole was married to Elizabeth Lee, who also owned property in Lake Charles. She died in 1856 while giving birth to their daughter, Mary Esther Cole.
After Elizabeth Cole's death her husband, Jonathan, was appointed administrator of her estate. At that time the 40 acres in downtown Lake Charles was appraised at $200. Unfortunately, Cole owed more than that in taxes, so the land was sold at a tax sale. Ewell Cole, Jonathan's brother bought it. Next it went to Polly Bilbo Cole, their mother, who sold most of it to Judge David John Reid.

After that, Jonathan Harden Cole simply disappeared. He no longer appeared on any Calcasieu Parish record. In 1860, his five-year-old daughter, Mary Esther Cole, was still in Lake Charles living with relatives the Lees. That was the last mention of her, too.

As far as we know, Jonathan Harden Cole may very well be resting in some unmarked grave in some neighboring state.
