    • == Biography ==Joseph Cole (the 2nd Joseph Cole who was a son of [[Cole-68|John Cole]]). The first was [[Cole-531|Joseph Cole]] (b. c. 1690, d 1720), son of [[Cole-68|John Cole]] and his first wife, Johannah Garrett.

      === Origin ===Joseph Cole born c. 1726, probably Baltimore County, Maryland, a son of [[Cole-68|John Cole]] and his second wife, [[Hawkins-4120|Dinah Hawkins]].<ref name="Tuttle">Tuttle, Ralph E., compiler, [http://www.jeffcochapter.com/FamilyHistories/Cole/COLE%20DOCUMENT.pdf ''Some Descendants of John Cole (Born 1669 in Maryland) ...''] Page 10 [self published], accessed January 21, 2015</ref>

      === Marriage ===
      Joseph married about 1760 to Ruth Cross.<ref name="Tuttle"/>

      === Property: Cole Church ===When he wrote his will in 1745, Joseph's father, John Cole, left him the "land where he now lives" called Cole Church which was 208 acres.<ref name="Tuttle"/><ref>Will Book 3, page 495, Annapolis, Maryland</ref>

      === Death and Legacy ===The Joseph Cole who died in 1720 named a wife and two children.<ref name="Tuttle"/> He could not have been the son of Dinah Hawkins, because John Cole and Dinah Hawkins were married in 1715.<ref name="Tuttle"/> That Joseph Cole (the first son by that name) died before 3-13-1719/20 at Patapsco River, Baltimore Co., Maryland. <ref>Jane Baldwin, Maryland Calendar of Wills, 1720-1726, Vol 5, p34)</ref>
      This Joseph Cole, of this profile, who married Ruth Cross, probably died in Baltimore County, Maryland. We know he was living in Baltimore County in 1745, and we know he was living in 1752 when he married. According to Ralph Tuttle, we do not have record of Joseph's death (Pg 11).<ref name="Tuttle"/> (despite the reported year, 1795, per ancestry "trees").
