Actually, it looks like its been a LOT longer than i thought! I first posted about it in 1996: http://newsarch.rootsweb.com/th/read/GEN-AFRICAN/1996-08/0840122681

But I can't find where I posted the update with the slaves' names. Back in '96 there was NOTHING about Edward Cole's slaves online so I am shocked to see how much there is available now! It took me about 6 pages before my post above showed up on a google search of "edward coles slaves". WOW! I guess lots of other folks found the subject as interesting as I did! lol
