Biography
Mary Cole was born on 22 October 1679 in Eastham, (then) Plymouth Colony, the daughter of John and Ruth (Snow) Cole.[1][2]
She was named in her sister Hannah's will dated 03 February 1725/6 as Mary Cole, suggesting that she was still unmarried.[1][3] Her death date is currently unknown, but after the date of her sister's will.
It has been suggested that she married Nathaniel Doane who died in 1758 in Harwich, as he had a wife Mary and six children born 1706-1715 probably in Eastham. No proof has been found that his wife was this Mary Cole, and her sister's will, naming her as Mary Cole not Doane, argues against the possibility.[1] Until further proof is found of a marriage, this profile will follow the Mayflower Society's guidance.

I've updated this profile with the information in the Hopkins "silver book." There was a death date of May 1762 in Chatham shown for her, but without any source. If a source can be provided please advise, but I find no record of a death in Chatham for any female in that month that could be her. The profile as it stands now, matches that of the Mayflower Society's current stance as far as I'm aware. If anyone has more current information, please post a comment here.
