Sarah Davis Cole (born 1651) - Sarah Davis, daughter of George Davis (1616 - 1667) and Sarah Clark Davis (died 1698) was born on 1 October 1651 in Reading, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Her date of death is unknown. She married Abraham Cole, a tailor of Salem, on 11 January 1670 at Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts, and they had seven children.

During the witch hysteria, a warrant was issued for Sarah's arrest, as well as Hannah Carroll, on 10 September 1692. Both were accused of having afflicted torture and torment of William Brage, the son of Henry Brage. Sarah was indicted and imprisoned. Her husband was able to bail her out on 14 January 1693, and on 1 February 1693, she was acquitted of all charges. She probably died in Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts.
