[2] Cole: It is stated on page 55, Vol. F. 3. 27, of the T.C.D. Manuscripts, that a daughter of a Thomas Cole was the third wife of Sir James Carroll of Ballykerney, co. Wexford, who died 6th October, and was buried 13th November, 1639: but we cannot connect the said Thomas Cole with any name on the foregoing pedigree.
