I'm Out on a limb, in the family tree!!
I've posted a number of messages about the various COLE cousins who settled
in Oklahoma Co., OK when the Unassigned Lands were opened, including my own
gggrandparents William A. "Bob" COLE and his wife Mary Ellen CROCKETT.
Before homesteading in OK, they lived in the area around Sycamore
(Montgomery Co.) and Neodesha (Wilson Co.) Kansas.
I've recently learned that there was a cluster of COLEs in that part of KS
in the 1870s & '80s, much like there was in our part of OK a generation
later -- so I'd like to compare notes with anyone who had COLEs in that
part of KS in that time period. Perhaps we have the missing pieces to each
other's genealogical jigsaw puzzle.

I recently posted the following query to COE-L:
>The DEWEY (1898) genealogy states that Benjamin COLE was "a Revolutionary soldier at Lexington and
>Trenton, and on Gen. Washington's staff." He had a daughter Polly COLE, b. 11 Feb 1788, place unknown;

The answer can be found in the following sources (among others):
Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Volume Three: George Soule, 1980 (the silver books)
Mayflower Families In Progress: George Soule of the Mayflower, 1992 (4 generation revision of above)

be available.)
Also, WFT Vol. 11, #4446. (Broderbund's World Family Tree CDROM product; available in some libraries. I have come to enjoy using these discs for clues and leads, although they are somewhat expensive to buy,
definitely not to be relied upon, and I wouldn't cite one as a source. Still, when all else fails ...)

The following text is from a book called "COE - The History of One of the
Early Families of America. A Record of the Descendants of John Coe of
Stamford, Greenwich and Rye", compiled by Richard Elrich Coe, Syracuse, New
York, 1943. He should be given credit for his work.
This is a superb work, approximately 300 pages long, with sources listed on
each page. Apparently unpublished, there is a bound, typewritten copy in the
Syracuse Library. I have copied a substantial portion of this book (but not
the index) and will be glad to do look-ups. It covers my wife's family in

COE, John - born ~1620 - Suffolk Co England to Massachusetts > CT USA
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/9466/coe.htm Excerpt & review:
Descendants of John Coe. Even for the wealthy a trip across the Atlantic
in the mid-1600's was no luxury cruise. After week upon week in a tiny
ship on the great expanse of water, sometimes calm and docile, sometimes
churned to cold grey fury, land must have looked pretty good. One made
the trip, of course, by the Providence of God, and even if one drowned,
that was by Providence, too. So when a dim outline of the Massachusetts
cape appeared on the horizon youthful John Coe and his fellow passengers
probably felt like dropping to their knees and thanking the Almighty for
safe deliverance, if they didn't actually do so. They had not drowned.
The contrast between the semi-primitive settlements of this strange new
world and the comfortable villages of Old England must have caused waves
of homesickness to sweep over them. But youth is fired with enthusiasm
for adventure, and John must have envisioned great possibilities in this
land he was about to adopt. At any rate, he was destined to become the
founder of one of the hundreds of pioneer families whose composite story
is the fundamental history of the founding of a great nation. Doubtlesss
that the thougth never occured to him.
The name of the ship on which he came to these shores will probably
never be known, and then exact date of his arrival is either hidden
among forgotten papers, or lost in records long since vanished. The
first mention of him in America is in the records of the town of
Stamford, CT. The chill of a dreary New England winter had settled
over this newborn town, in the Colony of New Haven. Snow covered the
freshly cleared lands where sturdy Puritan hands were wresting a
settlement from the wilderness along Long Island Sound. Here, on
December 7, 1641 John Coe was granted a houselot of two acres and a
woodlot of three acres.The desire for religious freedom was important,
but not the most important motive for the great migration to the new
world. Practically all the early settlers were of yeoman stock, and
America was a land of promise to them, a place where each could have a
plot of ground of his own. It was undoubtedly this desire for greener
pastures more than Puritan ideals that brought John Coe to Stamford, CT.
Born about 1620, probably in Stoke-Nayland, in the county of Suffolk,
England at the time the Pilgrim Fathers were laying the foundations of a
new land, he grew to manhood hearing glowing tales of the virgin country
beyond the seas. He was undoubtedly related to Robert Coe, early
immigrant: was perhaps son of Henry and Hester (Nyce) Coe, of
Stoke-Nayland. When John was in his early teens Henry's Puritan cousin,
Robert, severed all home ties and went to America, taking his family
with him. Very likely he wrote home to his kin occasionally, and when
John became of age, he too said goodbye to his parents and set out
coming to the same Connecticut town in which Robert was then located.
Several historians have confused him with Robert's son John, who was
only a boy of sixteen. The grant of land at Stamford was made ot John
Coe. Comparatively recent researches have cleared up this confusion &
proved beyond doubt that there were two distinct individuals of the same
name, one being about 5 years older than the other.
In September 1642 John Coe's name appears on the Stamford tax list, "jo
coe his rate due the town 13s 8d". During the next few years he spent
his efforts toward getting firmly established in his new home. The
sketchy town records are silent concerning his movements for the period.
Perhaps he married, although his children were not born until some years
later, when he was in his late thirties. Of John Coe's character we have
little on which to base our opinions. He was not uneducated, for he
could write: at least he didn't sign his name with a cross---and a
clear, bold signature was an accomplishment in those days. He may have
had adventure in mind when he came to America, but he didn't forget his
Puritan teachings for on April 25, 1647 "John Coe Complayns agt Daniel
Fenc for destarbing ye ordinance of God on a Saboth Daye".
What poor Daniel did, the records doesn't say. And again on May 3, 1649
"at a court: Complaynt by Jumfry Trembe agt Mark Menlove for prophaning
ye name of God by oths, swaring by Gods blood I think the devills in it.
Testimony of John Coe yt Mark Menlove upon ye selling of a shesill sayd
before God he would have his daye". Apparently it didn't pay to take the
Lord's name in vain with Johnny on the spot.
Whether it was his great piety or his determination to get sweet revenge
for real or imaginary injustices that caused him to be so zealous in
prosecuting those who were careless with their Biblical language, we can
only surmise. Perhaps we can charitably assume the former view when we
take into consideration the fact that later in life he did a little
preaching on the side. In 1649 he joined others in Stamford in settling
Greenwich, CT. On September 18 of the year a committee consisting of
John Coe, Robert Heusted, Thomas Sherwood and Richard Crab wrote
Governor Stuyvesant at Fort Amsterdam, under whose jurisdiction that
settlement came, that "Our neighbors of Stamford hath always desired and
endeavored to depopploate this place of Greenwich and to leave it
without inhabitants so the prophit may dedowne to themselves".
On May 13, 1651 he sold his property in Stamford. "Witness an agreement
or barging between John Coe the pty and Ellyas Baylly other pty, that ye
said John Coe doth by these presents sell, allinate, assigne, and sett
over from him and his to ye sayd Ellias Baylly and his forever, viz: on
house and a hom lot situate in Stamford, the said lot contayning an acre
and a half more or less bounded by Nickles Knap north, the highway west
and south, common and goodman Knap east, as alsoe three acres vast land
more or less lying in the South field, bounded by Jefery Ferris north,
Rich Crabb south, the highway east, the fence west; quietly to enjoy,
the said to Jon to free the forsayd hous and lands of any barginings,
sales, taxes, rates, or invombrances whatsoever befor these present
deed". After ten years stay in Greenwich, on September 20, 1659, John
Coe sold to William Hubbard a parcel of land consisting of a house with
a half acre of land, more or less, with swamp adjoining and set out on a
new enrterprise.
It was in the last days of Dutch rule on this continent that with two
other New England men from the town of Greenwich he venturd to establish
himself at what is now Rye, New York. The spot they chose was a fertile
cultivated section, where important Indian villages stood. The land was
purchased from the Indians by this trio---Peter Disbro, John Coe, and
Thomas Sudwell.
On June 29,1660 these three concluded a treaty with the Indians for the
purchase of Manursing Island. "Be it known unto all ment shom it may
concern both Indians and English that we Shanarockwell sagamore,
Malhlbl and Cokensekco have sold unto Peter Disbro, John Coe, Thomas
Studwell, all living at this present at Grenvige, to say a certain
parcel of land which these Indians above mentioned have sold is called
in the Indian name Manusing Island, and is near unto the main land which
is called in the Indian name peningo. This said Island we above
mentioned doe here by virtue of this bill doe sell all our right and
title unto John Coe, Peter Disbro, Thomas Studwell, quietly to injoy
from any molestation of us or any other Indians to them and to their
heirs, assignes and executors for ever, and farther, we have given unto
Peter Disbro, John Coe and Thomas Studwell feed for their cattle upon
the main called by the Indians peningo and what timbers and trees that
is for their use and not to be molested by us or other Indians; and we
doe herby acknowledge to have received full satisfaction for this
purchase of land above mentioned to say we have recieived eight cotes
and seven shirts, fiftene fathom of compone which is the full
satisfaction for the parcel of land above mentioned and for the
witness we have hereto set out hands".
"IPAWAHUN, ARAMAPOE, NONANAO, TOPOGONE, MATISHES, RICHARD,SHANAROCKWELL,
ARAMAQUE, COTON, WAWATANIAN, COWIMSECO, MAOWBERT AND QUARAIKO"
The three "founders" of Rye were shortly joined in some of their
transactions by a fourth, John Budd. Within a few months others came,
until there were seventeen in all and the Island village called Hastings
was formed.
Manursing Island comprised about on hundred acres of upland with as many
more of sedge or salt meadow. The first business of the settlers was to
apportion the land among themselves and erect temporary habitations, and
a homelot of two or three acres was assigned to each. John Coe was
located on the north end of the island. The first houses were log
cabins, built from timber cut on Peningo Neck on the mainland. More
comfortable dwellings soon replaced these, however the materials being
brought down from the older settlements.
One June 2, 1661 John Coe, Peter Disbro, Thomas Studwell and John Budd
bought lands north of Rye from the Indians.
About two years, after the settlement of Hastings apparently a rumor
casting suspicion upon the enterprises was abroad in the colony of New
Haven. This territory was just outside that colony's jurisdiction at
that time, and there were some suspicious souls in the New Haven
government who were beginning to ask just what these men were up to that
they desired to live beyond the reaches of the law. The power of the
Chief officers of the New Haven Colony was dwindling. Having lived under
taht government at Greenwich the freedom-loving inhabitants of the new
little town of Hasting had witnessed the suppression of political and
religious liberty and naturally were against its chafing restraint. It
was probably with rejoicing that they had moved from its jurisdiction.
As soon as they recognized the government of any colony as likely to
have jurisdiction over them at Manursing they turned their thougths, not
to New Haven, but to Hartford. Theyu took up a most unusual position, as
is indicated in a document quite famous locally, which they prepared and
proclaimed on July 26, 1662. Its purpose was to quell that rumor of
unlawfulness and state quite plainly where they stood. "Hasting, July
26, 1662. Know all men whom this may concern that (we the) inhabitants
of Minursing Island whose (names) are here under written, do declare
unto all the truth (tat) we came not hether to live without government
as (pretended) therefor doe proclayne Charles the Second our lawful Lord
and King: and doe volluntaryly submit ourselves and all our lands that
we have bought of the english and Indians under his gratious protection:
and do expect According to his gratious Declaration: Unto all his
subject which we are and Desiore to be subject to all his holsom lawes
that are Just and Righteous according to God and our capablesness
to receive: where unto we doe suscribe,........Peter Disbroe, John Coe,
The mark (x) of Thomas Studwell, Samuell Alling, Robert Hutsone, John
Brondish, Frederick Warminsone, Thomas Aplebo".
To further substantiate their claim of allegiance, John Coe and the
other inhabitats of Manursing Island sent a petition to the Connecticut
gevernment on March 26, 1663, requesting the appointment of officers
there. The following month on April 28, 1663, Peter Disbro, John Coe,
Thomas Studwell and John Budd conveyed Manursing Island to another
syndicate, of which John Coe was also a member, and in August of that
year John Coe's name appeared on a list as a proprietor of two theirteen
lots of salt meadow on the island. On February 28, 1665, John Coe and
Richard Betts represented Hastings at the Convention at Hempstead, Long
Island. On December 8, 1666, John Coe sold Hackaliah Brown one half of a
twelfth lot on Oxpasture Neck. Before many years had passed the settlers
began to turn their eyes toward the mainland, as a better place to live,
so gradually the little island town of Hastings was abandoned and the
village of Rye proper began to rise on its present site, amid the forest
on Peningo Neck. In 1668 John Coe sold his house and homelot to Stephen
Sherwood and moved to the mainland but kept his meadow lots on the
island. As were all the able bodied men of the community he was a member
of the " Trayn Ben", the militia of Rye mentioned in the colonial
records of 1667. " Trainings" took place six times a year and each was a
great occasion, usually solemnized by prayer. Every member had to report
at eight o'clock in the morning and none could be absent unless excused,
without incurring a heavy fine. Each one was required to " bee always
provided with, and have in readiness by them, halfe a pound of powder,
two pound of shott, and two fathom of Match".
Nine years had passed since the commencement of a plantation on
Manursing Island and it was reported to the Connecticut General Court,
in October of 1669, that the people of Rye were still without an
"orthodox minister". To be sure, John Coe and Manaduke Smith were
untertaking to teach or conduct religious services, and their
labors, too were acceptable, it would seem for the people "appear to
rest satisfyed without a lawful pastor in the improvement " of these
two. Whoever the court's informant was, however, found it difficult to
reconcile their teachings and his strict Puritan beliefs, for he
represented the pair to the court as "persons unsownd and
herteredoxd in their judgements, if not scandolous in their lives". In
all probability they had expressed Quaker sentiments, and that was an
unpardonable offence to austere Puritanism. The court directed that the
magistrated of Fairfield County summon Coe and Smith and make a decision
to preclude opportunity " to soew the seede of error amont the poeple
there", particularly since John Coe was one of the leading men of the
town. No punishment was meted out, so apparently the court found them
not too dangerous. However, the people of Rye did not get their
"orthodox minister" until several years later.
In a list of 12 proprietors of Salt meadows in Rye, dated 1672, John Coe
appears as owning 14 lots. John Coe presumably spent the rest of his
life in Rye. He was still living on September 20, 1683 when a writ of
error was imposed " to remove the case of John Coe, Richard Betts and
their associated, against Thomas Barker and others of the Newlotts, from
the court of Sessions, Kings County, to the Court of Assigns in the
Third Wednesday of October next." The records are silent concerning his
activities in his later years, and nowhere has yet been found
substantial proof of the name of his wife. There is a strong probabliity
that she was Hannah Sherwood, born in England about 1620, daughter of
Thomas and Alice (_____) Sherwood, of Stamford, Greenwich and Fairfield.
Some record undiscovered to date may yet clear up her identity.
