I'm trying to contact Debra Cole (her e-mail address was

I have a question concerning some of the wonderful information she

Anyone have a current address or maybe she's still on the list?

JOSEPH DOW'S HISTORY OF HAMPTON
Chapter 3 -- Part 7
EUNICE COLE AGAIN
William Salter, the keeper of the prison at Boston , brought a demand against
the town for boarding Eunice Cole at the prison to which she had been
sentenced by the court; and, to secure payment of the debt, he arrested Thomas
Marston, one of the selectmen, July 14, 1664. Marston having laid the case before
the town, the following votes were passed: "The towne doth order and agree thatt
whatt remaines of old Cole's estate in the hands of the selectmen, according
to yeorder of the County Courtt, shall bee payd to Salter with as much speed
as may bee." "Thatt the Rest yt is due to him, ye sd Salter, shall by the
selectmen be payd out of the fines yt are due to the Towne from those that are
delinquents in making staues upon the Comons contrary to the Town order, to make
up the full some [sum] due to the sd Salter." In order that these proceedings
may be the better understood, it is necessary to give a brief account of some
previous transactions. While Eunice Cole was lying in prison after her trial
for witchcraft in 1656, her husband, William Cole, on the third of November,
1659, sent a petition to the General Court, in which he represented that he had,
on some former occasion, made over his estate to his wife, "to keep her from
going away from him;" that he was not able himself to perform the labor that
was needful to gain a subsistence from this estate, and that, as he could not
make payment from it to any persons whom he might wish to employ to assist him,
he had sometimes come near perishing, and had been obliged to call upon the
town for aid, which had been furnished; but that the town could recover nothing
for the assistance rendered, without having recourse to a lawsuit. He
therefore prayed the court to provide some relief in the case. The petition having
been considered, the court ordered: "That the town of Hampton should take into
their possession all the estate belonging to the said Cole, or his wife--as was
pretended--and out of said estate, or otherwise, as they should see cause,
supply the said Cole's and his wife's necessities during their lives, and
afterward account for what should remain unspent--if anything--after being paid for
their trouble." The town, in compliance with this order of the General Court,
had taken possession of Cole's estate, and in consequence had become liable for
his own and his wife's maintenance, though she was still a prisoner in
Boston. In 1662, Goody Cole herself prayed the court for release, pleading
pathetically her own age and weakness, and the infirmities of her husband, "being 88
yeeres of Age," and needing the care which none but his wife could render.
Petitions were also presented by the inhabitants of Hampton and the keeper of the
prison, and the court ordered that she pay "what is due on arrears" to the
keeper, and "depart wthin one month after her release, out of this jurisdiction, &
not to returne againe on poenalty of hir former sentenc being executed
against hir." At the time of Marston's arrest by Salter, William Cole was dead. The
towne continued to maintain his widow at the prison several years afterward at
an expense of eight pounds a year. In the latter part of the spring of 1665,
another petition from Goody Cole was presented to the General Court, praying
that she might be released from prison. The court ordered that she might have
her liberty upon her security to depart from, and abide out of, their
jurisdiction, according to the former order of the court. She, however, still remained
in prison, unwilling, perhaps, to leave the colony, and probably unable to
give the security required.
EUNICE COLE was not an ancestor of mine but the GOODY SLEEPER mentioned in
this article was. I hope the COLE list will find this bit of history of
interest. JSR (researching SIMEON COLE and ELIZABETH SHERMAN)
JOSEPH DOW'S HISTORY OF HAMPTON
Chapter 2 -- Part 15
GOODY COLE
The largest share of this odium fell upon Eunice Cole, more generally known
as Goody Cole. Strange stories were told of wonderful feats, said to have been
performed by her, some of which have come down to us by tradition, and others,
in depositions taken at the time and still preserved.
Such was the reputation of Goody Cole, that she was both hated and feared.
That she did not possess such trait of characters as were suited to gain the
affection and good will of her neighbors, may readily be believed. She may even
have been, as she was said to be, ill-natured and ugly, artful and aggravating,
malicious and revengeful. But this does not tell the whole story of what was
charged upon her. It was confidently believed that she had "made a league with
the devil", and that by his aid she was able to render persons deformed, to
torture, and even to drown them with "an invisible hand," and that she was
actually guilty of performing all these misdeeds.
In the year 1656, she was arraigned before the County Court of Norfolk,
charged with the crime of witchcraft. The testimony of a considerable number of
witnesses was offered in support of the charge, and a verdict was rendered
against her. The evidence in the case goes to establish the fact, that Goody Cole
was neither loved nor respected by her neighbors, and that she was not, perhaps,
entitled to their love nor respect; but on a calm review of the case, it
seems difficult to understand how the court or the jury could, from the testimony
introduced, pronouce her guilty of the crime alleged.
We cannot better portray the absurb infatuation of this widespread belief in
witchcraft than by bringing forward some of the testimony in this case of
Goody Cole. We are the more inclined to do this at some length, since tradition
and poetry have made hers a representative case. Whittier's poem, "The Wreck of
Rivermouth," has given occasion for much curious questioning on the subject.
It is the privilege of the poet, however, to weave a thread of fact into a web
of subtle fancies; while it would be unpardonable in the historian, so to
connect the loss of the vessel, with its human freight, which occurred in 1657,
(see close of this chapter) with Goody Cole, thrown into prison in 1656, and
"Father Bachiler," returned to England in 1654 or 5.
Goody Marston, and Susanna, the wife of Christopher Palmer, deposed, "that
goodwife Cole said that she was sure there was a witche in the towne, and she
knew where hee dwelt & who they are;" also that thirteen years before, she had
known one "bewitched as goodwife Marston's child was" and that this person "was
changed from a man to an ape, as goody Marsston's child was."
Thomas Philbrick testified that she [Goody Cole] had said if his calves
should eat any of her grass "she wished it might poysen them or choke them;" and he
further testified that he never saw one of his calves afterward, "and the
other calfe came home and died aboute a weeke after."
Sobriety, the wife of Henry Moulton, and goodwife SLEEPER, the wife of
THOMAS, deposed that while "talking about goodwife Cole & goodwife Marston's
childe," they on a sudden "heard something scrape against the boards of the windows,"
which "scrapeing," after they had been out "and looked aboute and could see
nothing," and had gone into the house again, and begun "to talke the same talke
againe," was repeated, and "was so loude that if a dogg or a catt had done
it" they "should have scene the markes in the boards;" but none were to be seen.
Abraham Drake deposed in court, on the 4th of September, 1656 that "aboute
this time twelve month my neighbor Coles lost a Cowe, and wen as hade found it,
I and others brought the cowe home to his house & hee & shee desired mee to
flea this cowe, and presantly after she charged mee with killing her cowe, and
said they should know hee had killed hir cowe, for the just hand of God was
uppon my cattell, and forthwith I lost two cattell, and the latter end of somer I
lost one cowe more." Goody Cole was adjudged to be guilty, and was sentenced
to receive, as she afterward expressed it, "a double punishment," viz.: to be
whipped and then imprisoned during her natural life, or until released by the
court. In this unhappy plight we leave poor Goody Cole for the present, but
she will cross our path again.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Donnie Russie COLE taken September 21st
1922 at the Benjamin Studio in San Francisco, California. Donnie appears to
be 3-4 years of age at the time. The photo is on an unsent post card
addressed to "Aunt Fannie" with no address. Don't know if these are
nicknames or his actual given names, if these are nicknames I guess that his
name was Donald Russell COLE, but that is just a guess.
I'm hoping to locate someone from this family or Donnie himself so that the
photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a
member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
