John Cole was born about 1669. His parents are not known for sure. Some researchers believe that he was the son of Thomas Cole of Anne Arundel who was connected to William Cole.
He married Johanna Garrett about 1688. She was the daughter of Dennis Garrett and Barbara Stone.
John and Johanna's children may have included:
Joseph Cole (1688),
John Cole (1689, married Mary Chaffinch),
William Cole (1691, married Mary Giles),
Dennis Garrett Cole (1693, married Rachel Price), and
Elizabeth Cole (1695, John Ensor).
In 1691 John, and other family members, witnessed his father-in-law, Dennis Garrett, being murdered Captain John Oldton. Oldton was convicted and sentenced to hang, but was pardoned by the King.
Sarah Cole, (1697, married Charles Gorsuch).
