John married Mary CHARFIAH on 25 Dec 1730 in St. Paul's Parish, Baltimore, Baltimore, MD. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Note:
The marital status of Thomas is unclear. A document reported to be in the Maryland Historical Society states Thomas married (1) Mary Richardson, who died 3/9/1718 and (2) Sarah ?. It is not known whether there is any proof of a first marriage for Thomas. The book 'Baltimore County Families, 1659 - 1759.' does not list two marriages; however it does list a Thomas Cole (no known relation to John Cole) who married Mary ? and had Richardson's as in-laws. This Thomas , however, died by 1745. IF there is a first marriage for Thomas, is is possible that his first two children, Christopher and Thomas, were children of the first marriage. This is pure speculation, and there is nothing in public records to support it. In 1725, Thomas surveyed 100 acres of 'Christopher's Lot; between 1/9/1718 and 3/6/1733/4, he obtained portions of 'Levy'sTribe', addition to 'Bevy's Tribe', and 'Green's Chance'; in1750, he owned 100 acres of 'Christophers Lot' and 50 acres of 'Thomas' Lot'; in March 1768, he sold these two tracts to his son, Thomas, Jr.; in 1781, he conveyed to his son Christopher, tracts of 'Christophers Lot' and the lease of 'Mountain.' Thomas was mentioned in the will of John Broad, who died about 1709. John Broad was the second husband of Barbara (Stone) Garrett, Thomas' maternal grandmother.

• Note: 1737
• Probate: 12 Dec 1785

Notes:

Note:
The "Baltimore County Families " book lists Christopher Jr. and Ezekiel as children of Christopher and Sarah. The 1790 census for Maryland lists a Samuel Cole as a son of Christopher. A Thomas Cole died in Jefferson County, Ohio in 1808, and his will stated that he was a son of Christopher. The Jefferson County Historical Association assembled a "Cole Family Document" that lists these four Coles (Christopher Jr., Ezekiel, Samuel and Thomas) and six other additional Coles (Mordecai, Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth, John and William) as children of Christopher and Sarah Cole. There were two other Coles who were in Jefferson County in the early 1800's who could have been sons of Christopher and Sarah: Mordecai Cole , who died in Jefferson County in 1813 and William Cole who married Anna Talbot.

Note:
A local newspaper in Jefferson County reported that Samuel Cole found a stray mare.

Note:
Samuel applied for a Revolutinary War pension, but the application was rejected because he served less than six months. In a deposition in his Pension Application file R2142, Samuel stated "he was born in North Hundred, Baltimore County, in the State of Maryland, on the 20th day of September 1762" and the only person who could testify to his military service was his brother, Ezekiel Cole. That statement definitely links Samuel to Ezekiel and verifies that Samuel, too, was a son of Christopher. There is a Power of Attorney form in the file that was executed by Thomas Cole, son of Samuel, on 11/21/1853. The form states Samuel died on February 13, 1842 in Harrison County, Ohio and he left surviving, "Thomas; Elijah; Meshac; Charly; Betsy Wright, a widow; Julianne Cole; the living children of Teresa, deceased, intermarried with Luke Tipton; Sarah, intermarried with John Barrett; and Sarah, his widow, died in the month of March 1842."
