Cudsworth, (Montpelier, Vt., 1936) p. 140-142 Cole P. 140 Captain John Cole, then a resident of Westmoreland, N.H., purchased land in Londonderry, Vt. in 1783, his deed bearing date May 23, of that year and covering a twenty-five acre plot in the easterly part of the town, now Windham. He was born June 29, 1741, the seventh child and third son, of Jonathan and Judith (Bowen) Cole, and traced his descent, through Jonathan, John and John, to Thomas Cole who was residing in Salem Mass. in 1649, and is believed to be the same Thomas Cole who came over in the "Mary and John" in March, 1633. He died in Westmoreland in 1786 while on a visit to his oldest brother, Jonathan and was buried in that town. He was a sergeant in the Eighth Company of Col. Nichols' Regiment, Joseph Hindes, Captain, in 1776, and was at the battle of Bunker Hill. In 1777, he was chosen Captain of a Company of sixty-three men raised for service against Burgoyne. He married Lois Davis who bore him fourteen children and died at the ripe age of 88 years, in Westmoreland, Sept. 30, 1830, at the home of her youngest son where she had spent her later years. Their children, with dates of birth and death, were: Levi, Jan. 10, 1762-Sept. 20, 1850; John, Sept. 23, 1763 - ___, 1850; Salmon, Jan. 13, 1765-____, 1840; Matawassa, May 22, 1766-June 14, 1772; Amasa, March 12, 1768-____, 1842; :eban, Feb. 14, 1770-March 24, 1830; Hannah, Apr. 25, 1772, married Benj. Howard, of Jamaica, Vt.,_____; Derastus, Dec. 13, 1773, ____, 1842; Benoni, Feb. 8, 1775-Sept. 25, 1798; Sala, Sept. 2, 1776-Feb. 8, 1852; Ethan, Mar. 5, 1778-Dec. 14, 1854; Simon, Feb. 13, 1780-June 27, 1856; Lois, Aug. 15, 1781, married Reuben Robinson, died Dec. 30, 1803, and Heber, Aug. 10, 1783-Oct. 19, 1857. Their son John, after his father's decease, purchased the homestead, taking deed Jan. 2, 1788, and later, Sept., 1788, bought a larger tract adjoining. He remained in town at least as late as Jan., 1793, but whether he removed from here direct to Canada, where he spent the latter part of his life, is not certain. P.141. His brother Sala spent nearly all his early life in Windham (as now known). Having married Sally Stevens, of Townshend, Vt., in 1801, he raised a family of seven children and, in 1801, moved to Tioga, N.Y. at which place he lived the rest of his life. Ethan, brother of John and Sala, married Lucinda Wetherell of Barre, Mass. In 1801 and resided in Barre until 1810 when they moved to Windham, and thence to Londonderry in 1826 and remained here until his death, in 1854. He had a family of seven children, all born before his coming to Londonderry. They were: Arnold, born Aug. 12, 1803, died July 30, 1860 Arminala, Dec. 15, 1804, married Waldo Barton, a farmer and blacksmith, of Londonderry, and died June 17, 1879, leaving one daughter, who married Joseph R. Richardson, of Chester, Vt. Alson, June 5, 1807, married Tryphena Sanderson, of Sunderland, Mass., and died, childless, June 18, 1850.
