A 64 year old “Elisabeth Peirce” is living in the Cole household in Wellfleet in 1860. This may be an aunt of Sabra Doane (Pierce) Cole.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Seaman
• Cause of Death: “Consumption” (tuberculosis)
• Residence: May 1805, Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States

Notes:

The connection of this Daniel Cole to the family of Daniel Cole and Susanna Collings is supported by [NEHGS-1864d] which notes that Daniel’s parents were “Daniel and Susie”.

Daniel married Polly Atwood Snow on 19 May 1805 in Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States. Polly (daughter of Joseph Snow and Rebecca Young) was born on 29 Jun 1785 in Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States; died on 12 May 1836 in (unknown); was buried after 12 May 1836 in Duck Creek Cemetery, Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: May 1805, Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States

Notes:

Due mostly to the listing found in [Holbrook-1805a], this individual has been incorrectly identified as “Polly Atwood” by hundreds of researchers. But [Holbrook-1805b], the marriage intention filed by Daniel Cole and Polly in February of that same year, lists Polly’s full maiden name, as “Polly Atwood Snow”. Polly Atwood Snow was the daughter of Joseph and Rebecca (Young) Snow of Wellfleet, and there is ample additional evidence to indicate that Daniel Cole’s wife was, indeed, Polly Atwood Snow, rather than one of the many women from Cape Cod named Polly Atwood. First, two of their children were given the middle name “Snow” (Polly’s father’s side of the family). Second, one child was given the middle name “Young” (Polly’s mother’s side of the family). Third, Daniel Cole’s wife died in 1836 at the age of 51—putting her birth year near 1785, the same as our Ms. Snow.

Notes:

In the marriage intention recorded by the Clerk of Barnstable County, Polly Atwood is listed as “Polly Atwood Snow”. Due to her age at the time of her marriage to Daniel Cole, this would seem to cast doubt that her maiden name was actually Atwood.

Notes:

Note the spelling change for the surname of the children of Solomon Peirce and Keziah Doane.

Solomon married Keziah Doane on 18 Apr 1799 in Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States. Keziah (daughter of Azariah Doane and Molly Linnell) was born on 2 Oct 1785 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States; was christened on 8 Apr 1787 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States; died in ? in (unknown). [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

LDS-IGI incorrectly lists Keziah’s birth at Orleans, Barnstable County, Massachusetts.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: Nov 1771, Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay

Daniel married Susanna Collings in Apr 1772 in Truro, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay. Susanna (daughter of Andrew Collings and Margery Paine) was born on 15 Jul 1752 in Truro, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay; died on 10 Feb 1840 in _______, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States; was buried after 10 Feb 1840 in Duck Creek Cemetery, Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: Nov 1771, Truro, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay

Notes:

The date listed in [Holbrook-1772c] for Daniel Cole’s marriage to Susanna Collings may be 2 Apr 1772, but is very difficult to read.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: Feb 1775, Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay

Joseph married Rebecca Young on 9 Feb 1775 in Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay. Rebecca (daughter of Jonathan Young and Rebecca Young) was born on 18 Oct 1756 in Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay; died in ? in (unknown). [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: Feb 1775, Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay

Notes:

A second Rebecca Young exists, born in 1759 to Thomas and Mary Young of Barnstable. But this Rebecca Young appears to have married Dr. John Young in 1776, and in their marriage intention record, although very hard to read, at least one of the individuals appears to has listed themselves as, “…of Eastham”. Consequently, the evidence that our Rebecca Young is the daughter of Jonathan and Rebecca Young of Wellfleet is more likely.

Samuel married Mercy Peirce before 1769 in (unknown). Mercy was born in ? in (unknown); died in ? in (unknown). [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

“Peirce” is Mercy’s married name. Her maiden name is not known but may have been “Ryder” or “Rider,” according to LDS IGI sources.

Notes:

LDS International Genealogical Index (IGI) lists 3 other children of Samuel Peirce and Mercy Ryder. These are Molly Pierce (b. abt 1780), Lucy Pierce (b. abt 1782), and Elizabeth Pierce (b. abt 1784). IGI lists no source information for these individuals and none of the Wellfleet vital record collections has no record of these three girls.

Azariah married Molly Linnell on 30 Dec 1784 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States. Molly (daughter of Jonathan Linnell and Priscilla Gould) was born on 28 Feb 1759 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay; died in ?. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The surname of Azariah Doane’s wife, as listed in [Holbrook-1987c] is very hard to read. It may be “Polly Lannel” or “Polly Linnel”. However in [Holbrook-1987b], all of the children are listed as being born to “Azariah and Molly Doane”. For this reason, and because the only Linnell birth reference currently available in the Eastham area, is that of “Molly Linnell” the daughter of Jonathan Linnell and Priscilla Gould, the name “Molly Linnell” is used in this database.
