• Notes

  Ruth Cole's parents were killed by Indians June 24, 1696 while traveling between York and Wells, ME. From History of Wells and Kennebunk, Maine, by E.E. Bourne, 1875, pg. 221: "But during the next year (1696)...Thomas Cole and his wife Abigail, and two other men and their wives, who had been on a visit to York, on their return were waylaid by them Indians. Cole and his wife were shot dead...Cole was the son of Nicholas Cole. We presume that he left no descendants. He had twins, but they died in infancy." (The History of Wells and Kennebunk, p. 221) For more information see the Our Folk - Hart family Web Site
