      == Biography ==
      Sarah Cole

      === Disambiguation - Father & Son Both Married a Sarah Cole ===
      Both father, Charles Sr. and his son, Charles Jr. married women named Sarah Cole. It is possible Thomas Cole and John Cole were related because cousin marriage was very common in this time period.

      === Origin ===
      Sarah was born about 1698. This date is based on the birth of the first child registered in St. Paul's as being the daughter of Charles & Sarah Gorsuch in 1721 and her last recorded child born in 1737. Sarah was likely born in Baltimore County, Province of Maryland. She was a daughter of [[Cole-68|John Cole]] and [[Garrett-34|Joanna Garrett]].

      === Marriage ===
      Sarah married, as his 2nd wife, [[Gorsuch-20|Charles Gorsuch, Jr]].<ref name="VMHB26.3">Pleasants, J. Hall, (1918). The Gorsuch and Lovelace families (continued). ''The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography.'' [http://www.jstor.org/stable/4243688 JSTOR.org] (Vol 26(3), pp.325 - 332).</ref> Charles and his first wife had three children together:

      === Children ===
      Children of Charles and (probably) his second wife, Sarah (pg 329):<ref name="VMHB26.3"/> The births of these children are recorded in the parish register of St. Paul's church. The first four are all of the same page and recorded in one entry.

      === Death and Legacy ===
