Notes

Her surname is noted as "unknown" in Mayflower Families Vol. 6. On pg. 24, they say she has been called a Collier "but such identification is unlikely". It is given as "Ruth Chester" in Cape Cod Series Vol. 2 by L.C.Hills, pg. 59. !Death: MD 6:204 (in the sixty seaventh year of her age) On 15 Oct 1659, William Collier gave land to his "son in law Daniell Cole" [MD 14:29]. This suggests that Ruth may be a daughter of William and Jane (Clark) Collier. However, it is very possible that the term "son in law" was not a correct designation, and that the Daniel Cole named there might have had a different relationship, such as grandson or adopted son. Also, after William Collier's death, on 29 October 1671 the court gave Daniel Cole all remaining of his estate [PCR 5:80].
