2. Immigrant Mary HAWXHURST 1620.[3],[4],[5] died in 1682 in Oyster Bay, NY.[1]
Note Savage: shows Christopher but not Mary. He also shows 3 Cole daughters Ann, md Henry Townsend; Elizabeth md John Townsend; and Sarah the youngest daughter ; no daughter named Deliverence. [3]
Mary's maiden name appears to have been Hawxhurst.She came to America with her brother Christopher in 1620.
On 1/20/1655 Mary Cole, the widow of Robert Cole, gives to her son-in-law Henry Townsend, 3 acres of meadow at the far end of a long meadow called Pinchenamonuncanet.
On 4/5/1656 she gives to son-in-law Richard Townsend 8 acres on the south end of the meadow called Ockmamamona.
She married Matthias Harvey before 9/10/1663 on which date, John Cole confirms the sale by Matthias Harvey to William Carpenter, of a mill, which was part of the estate of Robert Coles, deceased, in the use and occupancy of the said Matthias, the husband of the widow.

[8]
Savage: Robert Coles, came with Winthrop [1630]Requested freeman status 10/19/1630 and admitted 5/18/1631.He perhaps removed to Salem and to Ipswich and was often punished for drunkeness.He seemed reformed in 1638, as there are no records of fine... He went to Providence, RI where he was reformed in earnest.He was a founder of the first Baptist Church there.By wife Mary had: John, Daniel, Nathaniel, Robert and daughters Ann who married Henry Townsend and Elizabeth who married John Townsend.Both men were of Long Island where Quakers were persecuted by the Dutch.Robert died intestate before 10/18/1654, when the Town Council distributed his property "the way he should have made in his Will"His widow married Matthais Harvey and removed to Oyster Bay, Long Island, with her sons Nathaniel and Daniel.Her 2 daughters,that married Townsends, followed. [3]
Robert Coles owned a mill which, as part of his estate, became property of his widow.She remarried to Matthias Harvey before 9/10/1663, at which time sonJohn Coles confirmed the sale of the said mill,by Matthais Harvey to William Carpenter. [1]

[15]
Christopher sr married Mary REDDOCK / RUDDOCK[3],[14],[15], daughter of Henry REDDOCK / RUDDOCK. Alias/AKA: or Reddough.[15] Religion: Quaker.[15]
