Samuel Snow Cole

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: May 1839, Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States

Notes:

[Holbrook-1806a] does not actually list Samuel Snow Cole’s birthplace. “Wellfleet” is an assumption based on both his parent’s and his own marriage having taken place in Wellfleet.

Samuel married Elisa A Young on 20 May 1839 in Wellfleet, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States. Elisa was born in ? in (unknown); died in ? in (unknown). [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Notes:

[Holbrook-1986b] does not list Andrew Collings’ birth place.

Andrew married Margery Paine on 16 Oct 1746 in Truro, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay. Margery (daughter of Moses Paine and Margery Paine) was born on 10 Dec 1724 in Truro, Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay; died in ?. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
