The Cole Family.
Edith Cole, wife of John Mallonee, was the daughter of Dennis Garrett Cole and 
Rachel, his wife, of Baltimore County, November 8, 1748.  Their children were 
Thomas, James, William and Leonard Mallonee.

Dennis Garrett Cole was the son of John and Hannah (Garrett) Cole, and Hannah 
Garrett was the daughter of Dennis and Barbara Garrett.  Thomas Stone and Dennis 
Garrett purchased "Long Island Point" in 1683 and in 1691, Thomas Stone gave his 
moiety in this land to the children of Dennis Garrett, deceased, and stated it 
was for his love and affection.

"Long Island Point" was to the east and adjoining "Cole Harbor," settled by 
Thomas Cole in 1668, and the latter was covered by the following lines: 
Beginning at Harford Run on the east, where it flows into the Patapsco River, 
thence west one mile, binding on the water front to about Sharp Street; thence 
north about half a mile to Saratoga Street, then east to Harford Run; thence to 
the place of the beginning, containing 550 acres.  John Cole sold Richard 
Owings, in 1702, 809 acres, "Cole's Choice," in the same section.  All of these 
tracts were described as on the north side of the northwest branch of the 
Patapsco River, and now covered by Baltimore City from Sharp Street to the east.

The Cole families, of Old England, appear to have had the same Christian names 
as the early settlers in Maryland and Virginia, viz.: John Thomas, William, 
Skipwith, et al.  Cole-Stake Lyne-John Thomas and William.  There was a fine 
monument erected to the Cole family at Petersham, in 1624.  John Cole, tenth in 
line from William Cole, County Devon, 1243.  Cole-Marazon-Francis Sewell Cole, 
esquire, nineteenth in direct descent from Edward, third, and the family long in 
County Devon.  Cole-Woodniem-John Cole, 1614, father of William Cole, officer in 
Cromwell's Army.  James Garrett, Esquire, County Carlow, married Mary, daughter 
of Colonel Blake, same family as Sir William Garrett, Lord Mayor of London, 
1555.

Sir Bernard Burke, in his "Armory and Heraldry," gives the Sewell family in 
England three coats of arms; the Cole family, twenty-two; Stone, thirty; 
Garrett, three; Kirby, fourteen; Randall, fifteen; Warner, nineteen; Acton, 
twenty-seven.  These names are all shown in the above as Sewall connections.
