I have heard from Curt and he is, indeed, interested in any/all information on Stephen Cole and family. So, again, here is what Curt knows and wants to know. ""Stephen Cole. He married a Hunter and had many children in Chester Co. PA early 1700's. Our line goes through William Cole who migrated to Rowen Co. NC" I believe the following is Stephen's will...apparently he died rather young, or at least left underage children. COLE, STEPHEN. Chester borough, yeoman.December 26, 1744. January 17, 1744/5. B. 173.Provides for wife Martha. To son Stephen my lott of land in Chester containing about 12 acres when 21 also £10. To sons John, James, William and Mark and daughter Elizabeth Cole, 5 lotts of ground in Chester when of age. Executors: wife Martha and friends Thos. Cummings and Res Richd. Backhous. Witnesses: John Mather, James Mather.[Some of the sons went to Fayetteville, NC about 1758.] (I searched for Martha Cole and Martha Hunter, looking for the names in an area will of a parent, but no luck., nor did she leave a will in the name Martha Cole...I can't find Wm, John, James, Elizabeth Cole in any other area wills either.) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Stephen Cole was a member of ST Paul's Church, and was a vestryman for the year 1742....this is an Episcopal Church (now in Del. Co), so this might be somewhere to start looking....Episcopal records.... a lot in Chester, once owned by Stephen Cole, (purchased in 1741), was later purchased by the Quakers, to erect a school-house ..
