On October 17, 1784 Nathaniel Cole 1759-1840 married Nancy ANTHONY 1762-1828, who was born in Swansea, Massachusetts on the 24th of January 1762. According to the Massachusetts Town & Vital Records Nathaniel and Nancy - (given name of ANNA on record) were married on JULY 24 not January. The date given as January may be due to their abbreviating: Jany - it resembles July. Remember reading the antique handwriting is difficult sometimes.
