• Notes

  First settler of Coles Hill 1633 A soldier in Pequot Indian War 1637 James opened the first tavern and Inn in the Plymouth Colony on a piece of land that is today known as Cole's Hill. It stands in front of Plymouth Rock overlooking the harbor. His lands extended to Swansea Mass.There is a river there named Cole's River. It had formed a property boundary line. Of particular interest is James Cole's apparent lack of church membership among the scores of early prominent settlers whose places of prominence in the community were usually paralleled by leadership roles with in the church. Not only did James Cole appear to avoid church, but also operated a rather rowdy tavern - almost reminiscent of those which gave the old west a notorious flavor. [1]
