Descendant of Mayflower passenger Thomas Rogers.

Biography

Mary Rogers was born on 09 November 1675 in Eastham, Plymouth Colony, the daughter of James and Mary (Paine) Rogers. A deed dated 18 June 1690 establishes that Mary, daughter of James Rogers, was married to John Cole at the time of the deed, six months before her 15th birthday.

John Cole was born in Eastham, Massachusetts, March 6, 1669/70, the son of John and Ruth (Snow) Cole. He was a nephew of Mary's step-father.

Mary Cole died in Eastham on 17 February 1731/2.

John married, as his second wife, Sarah (Hamblen) Higgins in November 1732 in Eastham, the widow of Richard Higgins, and daughter of John Hamlen. She was born 1 Jul 1671 in Barnstable, Plymouth Colony and died after Jul 1743.

John's will, dated 30 July 1743 and proved 19 January 1746/7, names wife Sarah; sons Joshua, Joseph, John, James and Moses; grandson Jonathan Cole; grandsons Nathaniel and Jesse Cole and their mother Hope, widow of deceased son Jonathan; granddaughter Hope, Dorcas and Mercy Cole; daughters Mercy [sic] Snow, Phebe Wickham and Thankful Snow; son Josshua of Eastham to be executor.[9] In the will of her grandfather Thomas Paine, Mary Cole was given a share of his land, land which was perhaps left to her grandson Jonathan Cole in her husband's will.
