James? Cole

Rebecca Collier's husband Job Cole was born 1605 in St Olave Southwark, Surrey, England. His parents were James Cole (1584 – 1630) and Mary Deleble (1584 – 1605). Job died 5 Jun 1672 in Eastham, Barnstable, Mass

Name unknown, wife was Frances (named in the 1630 will of Zaccheus Cole). Children: Zaccheus, John, Job, Daniel, Nathaniel, “daughter” [in law?] Rebecca.

Known as Jacob Cole by some researchers

The will of Zaccheus Cole of St Olave, Southwark, citizen and grocer of London, named mother Frances, brothers Nathaniel, John and Daniel Cole, and appointed brother Job Cole executor. The location of Zaccheus Cole in the same parish as William Collier, Job Cole’s future father-in-law, makes it likely that this is the correct family.

Will of John Cole, proved at Plymouth 7 Jan 1637/38, names brother Job Cole, sister Rebecca [possibly Job’s wife, Rebecca Collier], Elizabeth Collier, and “my brother Daniel” and and left legacies to “each of Master Collyer’s men,” Edward, Joseph, Arthur, Ralph and John. Partly on the basis of this document Stratton suggests that Job Cole may have been one of “Mr. Collier’s men” who appear in the Plymouth tax list of 25 March 1633. If this is the case, then Job Cole was probably included in the household of William Collier in the tax list of 27 March 1634, less than two months before Cole married Collier’s daughter.)

Job Cole, apprentice in New England of William Collier and then his son-in-law, was likely the brother of Zaccheus Cole. This connection and others are discussed in TAG 42:119-21.
