JOHN G COLE, the son of John and Ann J (Gilpatrick) Cole, was born on 30 Mar 1830 in Kennebunk,ME [Kennebunk VR] or Sanford [birth rec of dau Annie; John's father was from here]. He died 23 Jan 1899 at age 64 yrs and was buried in Hope Cemetery, Kennebunk.

He married in Kennebunk on 30 Apr, 1865 [VR] to MARY ANN WORMWOOD, who was born circa Feb, 1837 [1900 census]. She was born in Kennebunk according to daughter Annie's birth rec. She died in 1921 [gravestone] and is also buried in Hope Cemetery.

As a teenager John worked as a farmer [1850 census], was briefly occupied in the brickmaking trade around the 1860 census, but afterwards returned to farming [1870-80 censuses]. He was a native of Kennebunk, and evidence shows him living there his entire life (except for his time in the service).

He and Mary had three children [1900 census: ch 3/3], all girls:

I. ANNIE F COLE, born 3 Apr 1869 in Kennebunk, ME [VR]. She was a school teacher, living with her widowed mother and sister in 1900+1910 censuses, single. She is buried with her parents, her stone having no death date.

II. ISABEL S COLE, seemingly a twin to Annie as they were same age in 1870, 1880 and 1900 censuses, though Isabel is not in Kennebunk birth rec's. She died in 1943 [gravestone]. She married on 5 Feb 1894 in Kennebunk [ME VR] to AUGUSTUS J BLAISDELL, and lived in Kennebunk. He was born in 1860, the son of Jeremiah M and Harriet N (Jones) Blaisdell, and died in 1943 [gravestone]. They had no children.

III. ELSIE MAUDE COLE, born 31 June 1874 in Kennebunk. She was a school teacher like her older sister, living with her mother and sister in 1900+1910 censuses, single. She is buried with her parents (no death date on stone).
