  == Biography =='The Founders of Anne Arundel and Howard Counties' Chapter III, 'The Quakers' describes Thomas and William Cole making open confession's of the truth, where it is stated, 'the latter, referring to William Cole, became a Quaker preacher in 1662 (where his birth date on this profile is assumed) was imprisoned at Jamestown for violating the statues. Further it states, "...in 1657, before the arrival of Cole and Thurston, the planting of Quakerism had commenced and Preston, Berry and the more sober-mided citizens, listened gladly to the tenets of the society." == Sources == <references />* The Founders of Anne Arundel and Howard Counties, Maryland, by: J.D.
