History of Richmond County, New York, 1887
Cole
We have nowhere found the slightest allusion to the origin of this family, but an individual of the same name was on the island before the beginning of the last century; in the county records we find the name of Abraham Cole as having sold land in 1695, which, of course, he must have purchased at an earlier date. In the church records we find no further mention of the name for more than half a century, though the name of Abraham appears to have been perpetuated.
Abraham and Hannah had a daughter Ann, born May 11, 1762; a son Abraham, born March 6, 1766, and a son John Bedell, born July 31, 1770.

Richard and Mary Spragg were married in October, 1774, and had a son Abraham, born March 6, 1775. John and Catharine, his wife, had a son Abraham, born April 6, 1775.
