Notes

Of Notable interest with this profile is the marriage to Keziah Cole and then the marriage of his brother Joseph Cole Jr to Remember Cole and of another brother Zacheus Cole to the third daughter of Isreal Cole Mary Cole. These unlikely unions linked two ancient distinct lines of 'Coles' together.[1]
