Research Notes: Cole or Cobb?

The Great Migration series by Robert Charles Anderson is the primary source for Puritan Great Migration profiles. John Lothrop and his wife Mary Cole (not Cobb) are profiled by RCA. Where is the evidence that John's wife was Mary Cobb, not Mary Cole? Dellinger-332
Reference to a source at The NEHGS listing Mary's lnab as Cobb, have not been found. James Cobb is probably NOT the father of this Mary Cobb. The daughter of James Cobb was born in 1664 and died in 1737. This Mary was born in 1654 and died in 1695. James Cobb and Mary Tilson have been proposed as parents for Mary the wife of John Lothrop. As of this writing, they are involved in duplicate profiles with a profusion of confusion about the first and last names of James/John Cobb/Cole, and sources are lacking. We are going with the evidence currently at hand. Dellinger-332

Research Notes for Find a Grave

At Find a Grave, there is a note that indicates that the 1653 date belongs to a different Mary Cole, and this Mary Cole was born in 1654[5]
  • Fact: Buried at Lothrop Cemetery in Barnstable, MA
  • Fact: Burial (1695) Barnstable, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States of America
  • Fact: http://familysearch.org/v1/LifeSketch Why this person had "master record" in suffix I do not know. But it will cause problems of having parentheses in the name field so I removed it and am noting it here.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Mary:

What is the source for the "Colsgan" surname? I can find nothing with that name and think it should be removed.

Cole-10622 and Cole-9388 appear to represent the same person because: Cole-10622 and Cole-9388 appear to represent the same person because everything appears to match on both profiles

Cole-11554 and Cole-9388 appear to represent the same person because: profile errors corrected, now ready to merge

I put Cole-11554 into an unmerged state. It needs a lot of work, but, was intended to be the same person.

Cole-11554 and Cole-9388 do not represent the same person because: the profile for Cole-11554 needs a lot of work before it can be merged.
Cole-11554 and Cole-9388 appear to represent the same person because: same husband, similar dates, no sources to proof alternate data
posted by Robin Lee
Cobb-179 and Cole-9388 appear to represent the same person because: I created Mary Cole-9388 so we can change the LNAB for Mary the wife of John Lothrop Jr. I have not been able to find a contemporary source for Mary Cobb to be her name. Anderson assigns John Lothrop's wife to be named Mary Cole., and there are other genealogists who also name her Mary Cole. Cobb appears to have come from confusion and should be corrected. thank you, April Dauenhauer
Attention Profile Managers:

There is a lot of data added to this profile.

Please take a look and reply to the question,

"Should we change the LNAB for John Lathrop's wife from Cobb to Cole?"

Mary Cobb's parents are James Cobb and Mary Tilson
