Here is some more of the Cole/Digges paper:
(William C. Digges III, son of Col. William Cole and Martha Lear) cont'd
"4- William C. III. In the New York records, in a deed by Lewis Burwell who married the widow, Martha Cole, in favor of William C, Cole, son of William Cole of Warwick Co. and his wife, Martha "now the wife of me, said Lewis Burwell" - so William Cole III is mentioned in the will of his stepfather, Lewis Burwell, proved Feb. 19, 1710 (York Co. records). In 1711, Nicholas Curle, guardian for Wm. Cole, gentleman, brought suit in York against Nathaniel Burwell and James Burwell, sons of Lewis Burwell, Esq. Having arrived at age before 1714, in that year he gave his bond, with John Steth as security, to construct warehouses at Swine Yard, and other places in Charles City Co. He was a member of the House of Burgesses for Warwick in 1718, and in 1726, and one of the visitors of Mary and William College in 1723. He was deputy receiver-general in 1721, and Colonel of Militia. This William Cole III married Mary Roscoe, who died in 1752. He made his will in 1729. He had children: 1-William IV, born 1715; 2-Martha, who married Leigh and died in 1779, leaving a daughter, Mary, who married William Claiborne. Issue: Gen. Ferdinand Leigh Claiborne and Governor William Charles Cole Claiborne, were very distinguished men. From the case in Washington's reports, it would seem there were other children of William Cole III. Perhaps Roscoe Cole, who was at William & Mary College as usher in the grammar school in 1747 and 1754 was minister of Warwick Parish, was one of his children. Another son was Capt. James Cole, born about 1727 or 1728.
William Roscoe, son of James Roscoe, of Blunt Point, in Warwick County, represented Warwick in the House of Burgesses with Wm. Cole in 1726 - so Mary Roscoe Cole, wife of Wm. Cole III was probably his, William Cole's, sister. About the close of the century a Roscoe Cole married Elizabeth Digges (daughter of Dudley Digges of the Committee of Safety) and in 1830, Roscoe Cole was a wealthy merchant of Williamsburg. His only daughter, Anne E., married William F. Hamilton, of New York; he had sons. Jane Cole was perhaps the sister of Roscoe. She married the second time, Stephen Bingham, third time, Francis West.
The Charles City records show that in 1737 Cole Digges and Lewis Burwell were the executors of William Cole III. In 1738, William Cole IV, son, was required to repair the warehouses (public) but offered to build one 40 ft. x 24 ft. at Swine Herds (Swine Yards) but died before 1754, and in that year William Cole V is mentioned as his son and heir (under guardianship of Elizabeth Cole, Administrator of his father). She was Elizabeth Cooke and married the second time Philip Edmondson. William Cole V was born June 1744. He speaks of himself as "William Cole of Buckland" in Charles City Co. In 1769 William Cole V and his wife, Susanna, sold part of Buckland to William Byrd. In 1776 Wimmial Logwood advertised that he would attend at Charles City Court to sell 4000 acres (part of 10,000 acres belonging to Wm. Cole V, known as Buckland) also a tract of about 1500 acres in Warwick County adjoining Rich Neck, known by the name of Baldriff Neck (Baldrup) likewise two tracts belonging subscriber in Goochland & Cumberland.
William Cole's V wife was Susanna Digges (daughter of Col. William Digges, according to the statement of his granddaughter (Mrs. Calvin Perkins) which is conferred by the Digges record. The will of William Cole V, (proved in Albemarle County, June 7, 1802) and Susanna Digges, mentions the following children: 1 - William VI, 2 - Capt. John, 3-Sarah, 4 - Mary (Mrs. Woolfolk), 5- Susanna (Mrs. Anderson), 6 - Richard, 7 - Joseph, 8 - Nancy, 9 - Elizabeth, who married Joseph H. Irwin and had three children, Susie Eliza Irwin, Mary Ann Irwin, and Betsy Cole Irwin."
I'll put the rest on later.
