Timothy Cole was born between 1684-1688 [based on likely age at marriage], in all probability at Eastham on Cape Cod, to Timothy Cole and his spouse whose title isn’t recognized, though some researchers make a case for her being Ruth Smith. I’ve extra analysis to do on that.
Timothy married thrice, together with his first two wives dying younger. He married, first, Apphia Pepper, daughter of Isaac and Apphia (Freeman) Pepper, on 2 November 1709, at Eastham. She was born Eastham 24 Feb 1687. Apphia and Timothy are my ninth great-grandparents on my grandmother Milly Sales space Rollins’ aspect of the household.

Susanna born 15 July 1716; died after 17 July 1756; m. Joseph Brown
Apphia born 20 March 1718; died 27 June 1718
I descend from Dorothy who married Thomas Freeman. I wrote about this couple right here.
Apphia Freeman Cole died 6 April 1718 at Eastham at age 31. Appears possible she died of problems from childbirth as her daughter was born simply two weeks earlier than.
