"...The house build by John Cole before the year 1700 is still standing... Savage, in his Plymouth Records, gives the children of John Cole, son of Hugh, and
states "he lived in Plympton." This is an error. The John he speaks of was the son of James; they were both b.1660. The will of John Cole, dated Sept. 22, 1742,
begins with: "I, John Cole, son of Hugh"; speaks of "wife Sarah"; gives to daughter Susanna Rounds five pounds; to his daughters, Mary Luther and
Hannah Hammond, 28 pounds each; to his granddaughter, Elizabeth, 15 pounds; to my son, John, who has and does take care of me, all of the farm where I dwell
in Swansea aforesaid" -- hereafter follows a description of the land, "also all my household goods, cattle, etc., and constitute him my executor. Signed in the
presence of Thomas Easterbrook, Caleb Cole, Joseph Mason, and Benjamin Cole, his brother." At the time of the will this land was in Swansea, but at the time the
will was probated it had become a part of Warren, Rhode Island.'

Note in Vital Records of Bridgewater Mass: “John Cole of Plimton and Patience Barbor were joyned together in Marriage the 27th day of January Anno Dom 1709/10.” This would suggest Patience Barber is the wife of John Cole, son of Hugh rather than John Cole, son of James.
