Research Notes

1. The children noted in the bio are from member trees on Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.com and couldn't find any links to them on Findagrave.com.

The following are from the creation of this profile.

• iv JOHN, b. say 1637; m. by 1668 Mary Cole, daughter of JAMES COLE of Plymouth [PCLR 3:326; GMB 1:423; Austin 238]. As this couple had no children, the estimate of marriage date derives from their appearance in a deed of 1668. Mary Cole's date of birth was estimated as 1632, and the marriage may well have taken place some years earlier, so John's date of birth is estimated to fit into a convenient gap in the list of children of the immigrant. Both these estimated dates of birth may be off by some years.^[1]
