According to Arnold's Rhode Island vital records, in Cumberland, RI, reference 1:74, COLE, John, of Worcester, Mass., and Hannah Bates (widow), of Cumberland, dau. of John Burlingame; m. by John Dexter, Justice, Jan. 28, 1779. Does anyone have info on this John Cole? Ancestry, siblings, etc.? I believe he may have died young, as Hannah dies in VT as Hannah Carey in 1822. Thanks for any clues. Joann Nichols

There is no record of his birth at Worcester as far back as 1714. The best candidate I see is John, son of Ezekiel and Margaret (___) Cole, born 03-Feb-1760 at Sutton in Worcester Co. [Sutton VR 44].
