Profile last modified 24 Apr 2019 | Created 3 Apr 2011

Job Cole migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1620-1640).

Note 1: Savage gives Job Cole two additional sons, John and Job. They have probably been misplaced and were actually sons of Job's brother Daniel.[1]

Note 2: Zaccheus Cole of St. Olave, Southwark, Surrey made bequests in his will to his mother Frances; brothers Nathaniel, John, Daniel and brother Job was executor. This is the same parish as William Collier, Job's future father-in-law, making it probable that this is the correct family, (but not proven).[1]

Biography

Based on the date of his marriage, Job Cole was born about 1609, probably in England.[1]

He migrated to Plymouth in 1633 and was admitted freeman on March 3, 1639/40. He moved to Duxbury, then Yarmouth by 1643 and Eastham by 1648. He was replaced as Duxbury constable in 1640, Deputy for Yarmouth to the general court in 1644, replaced during the year, and surveyor of highways at Eastham in 1654. These replacements while in office may indicate his move to different towns.[1]

He married Rebecca Collier daughter of William Collier on May 15, 1634. Rebecca was baptized at St. Olave's, Southwark, Surrey on January 10, 1614.[1]

Children:

Daniel was born about 1650. There were at least two Daniel Coles in Eastham and they both married women named Mercy. One was Mercy Freeman, daughter of Samuel and the other was Mercy Fuller, daughter of Samuel.[1]The wife of Daniel, son of Job Cole was Mercy Fuller. They had children Mary, Elizabeth, and Abigail.[2] Samuel was born in the mid 1650's. In 1680/1 he sold a parcel of meadow to Samuel Smith of Eastham. He married Mary _____. Died at Harwich on February 4, 1717/8.[3] Rebecca was born August 26, 1654 at Eastham. She married Robert Nickerson.[1] Since the marriage between Job and Rebecca happened in 1634 and there were no children until about 1650, it is possible that there may have been unrecorded children born earlier who died young. Also the possibility exists that Daniel and/or Samuel were born earlier and married when they were much older men.[3]

Job Cole died after 1683 and before December 29, 1698. His wife Rebecca died at Eastham on December 29, 1698, aged about 88 years.[1]

Job, John, and Daniel Cole came to New Plymouth in 1633 with William Collier, a merchant of London. A fourth brother, Joseph came to Plymouth , but in some other year.

Rebecca’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

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.
