Hello ToddWhitesides
I may be descendant of Robert Cole and Elizabeth Tant. I have two lines
thru daughter Mary m. Joseph Clarke and daughter Elizabeth m. Wm. Hayden. Maybe.
I enjoyed your essay. I had to look up the word "recusancy" (One of the
Roman Catholics in England who incurred legal and social penalties in the 16th
century and afterward for refusing to attend services of the Church of England.)
I had never heard the term before.
Reading the posted message tells me that the descendants of Robert Cole and
the settlers of St. Mary's City were an intelligent and educated bunch and
that has survived. I am proud to be among this group of heroic people.
