     Mr. (?) Cole was the father of three (perhaps four) brothers who came to Plymouth Colony. According to Hills¹, three brothers Job, John, and Daniel Cole came to Plymouth with William Collier, a merchant of London. They arrived on the ship "Mary and James" in 1633.^2,3,4 James Cole of Plymouth may also have been a brother. Hunt⁵ shows a connection of this family to Zaccheus Cole who was a citizen grocer of London at St. Olave's, Southwark, Surrey⁶, when he wrote his will on 16 Nov 1630. This will named his mother Frances and brothers Nathaniel, John, Daniel and Job and mentions William Collier. Anderson⁷ treats James Cole, in Plymouth by 1633, Job Cole of Plymouth by 1633, Rice Cole of Charlestown by 1630, Samuel Cole of Boston by 1630, and Robert Coles of Roxbury by 1630 but does not connect them. Anderson does mention that Job Cole had brothers Daniel and John.

     Anna Gertrude Cole was born in 1878.² She married Lewis Winter Davis, son of Seneca F. Davis and Independence Louisa Olds, on 17 Mar 1897.¹ Anna Gertrude Cole died in 1972.² She was buried at Evergreen Cemetery, Erie County, Pennsylvania, where the inscription is "1878-1972 Davis, Gertrude Wife of Lewis Davis."²

     Arthur H. Cole married Alice M. Olds, daughter of Eugene Thomas Olds and Mary M. (?), c 1924.²
     Arthur H. Cole and Alice M. Cole appeared on the census of 1930 at Erie County, New York, as follows:
     209/221 Cole, Arthur, head, 31, 1st marr. at 25, b. NY, parents b. NY, copper shop craftsman
      , Alice, wife, 31, 1st marr at 25, b. NY, parents b. NY
      , Donald, son, 4 1/12, b. NY, parents b. NY
[This family is listed in the same house with Alice's father, Eugene Olds.].²

     Daniel Cole married Ruth (?). Daniel Cole was born c 1615.¹ He was the son of Mr. (?) Cole. Daniel Cole died on 20 Dec 1694 at Orleans, Massachusetts.^2,1 His estate was probated on 15 Jan 1694/95 at Barnstable County, Massachusetts. This record provides the names of additional children. The inventory was taken on 24 December 1694 and mentions no real estate although the settlement does. Israel Cole, son of Daniel Cole, late of Eastham, was appointed administrator as desired by the other children. The estate was settled with the consent of his children John Cole, Timothy Cole, Israel Cole, James Cole, William Cole, Daniel Cole and Thomas Cole, Daniel Doan and his wife Hipsibah, John Young and his wife Ruth, Joshua Hopkins and his wife mary and Medad Atwod and his wife Hester. The names appear to be in order by gender and age and thus list provides the names of three younger children -- Daniel Cole, Thomas Cole, and Hester Atwood not included in the birth records. After agreeing that they should each have what their father had given during his life and that Thomas should have the place where their father lived, it was agreed that John Cole got £13, 8s., Timothy Cole £9, Israel Cole £9, James Cole £9, William Cole £9, Daniel Cole £9, Thomas Cole £9, Hipsibah Doan £12 , 9s., Ruth Young £12, 9s., Mary Hopkins £12, 19s., Hester Atwood £12, 19s. "The division was signed by John Cole (by a mark), Timothy Cole (by a mark), Israel Cole , James Cole (by a mark), William Cole, Daniel Cole, Thomas Cole (by a mark), Daniel Doan (by a mark), Hipsibah Doan (by a mark), John Young, Ruth Young (by a mark), Joshua Hopkins (by a mark), Mary Hopkins (by a mark), Medad Atwood, Esther Atwood (by a mark). All of the fifteen signers acknowledged their signatures, 15 January 1694/5, before the Judge of Probate."³
     A part of Daniel Cole's family is recorded in a Town Record book rebound from Volume I and now called "Land Grants, 1659 - 1710: Births, Marriages and Deaths, 1649 - 1760" .
     "Daniel Cole b ca 1614 d 21 Dec 1694 age 80 m RUTH (prob CHANDLER d/o Edmund & Elizabeth Chandler) b ca 1625 d 15 Dec 1694 aged 69. Daniel's wife has been considered as Ruth Collier, Ruth Snow, Ruth Chester or Ruth Chandler. William Collier had no daughter Ruth. A Ruth Snow married Daniel's son John. No Ruth Chandler has been discovered in this area. Edmund Chandler's will dated 3 May 1662 mentions daughter Ruth. A reference to marriage of Mary (Paine) Rogers to Israel Cole states him to be s/o Daniel and Ruth (Chandler) of Eastham. Thus the most likely choice is Ruth Chandler.
"Daniel Cole with his brothers Job and John London Merchant William Collier came to Plymouth in 1633. John's will mentions his brothers, Job and Daniel.
"After marriage, Daniel left Plymouth for Yarmouth and in 1643 was listed there as able to bear arms; admitted as freeman in 1645. In 1648 he was on the jury which tried Alice Bishop for infanticide. In 1650 he removed to Eastham, serving as deputy to the General Court, five terms as selectman, constable and other public offices. In 1662 he was appointed to keep account of importations of liquors, lead and powder."⁵
     Another part of the family of Daniel Cole is recorded on a page of the Eastham Town records as:
     On 16 Oct 1659 "William Colyare of the Towne of Duxbburrow in the Jurisdiction of Plymouth in New England in America Gen^tl" gave to "my soninlaw Daniell Cole" land on Cape Cod including "my Right and Interest in the blubber; which as a privilidge belongeth unto the said land".⁷ "Son-in-law" at this time may have had a meaning other than the one in use today. Twelve children of William Collier have been identified in English records and Ruth is not included.⁸ If Ruth Cole's age at death is correct, she was born before William Collier came to New England but after his other children (and thus was not a product of his wife's previous marriage).

     Daniel Cole married Mercy Freeman.² Daniel Cole was the son of Daniel Cole and Ruth (?).¹ Daniel Cole died on 15 Jun 1736.²
     He left a will on 20 Nov 1735 at Eastham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts. "Being week and very infirm in body", he made bequests of land to his cousin William Freeman and his wife Mary Freeman of Harwich, to his cousin Seth Knowles and his wife Martha Knowles of Eastham, and twenty shillings each to heirs of his deceased brothers John Cole, Timothy Cole, Israel Cole, James Cole, Thomas Cole, "and to my Brother William Cole or his heirs", to "oldest sister Hepshebah Done", "to the heirs of my sister ruth Bangs", "to the heirs of my sister Mary Hopkins", and "my sister Elen Attwood or her heirs". In the next Items, he made bequests to Mary Remich, daughter of Christian Remich,and to Mary Freeman, daughter of Samuel Freeman junior, "a silver cup marked M L". The remainder went to "cussin" Christian Remich "to support me in any aged condition". "said cussin" Christian Remich was made Executor. Submitted for probate on 7 July 1736.³
