Matthias' surname was originally Zimmerman, which is German for Carpenter. They were known as the Carpenters in NC. He had worked for a year and half in Salem, NC as a carpenter, among the Moravians, but later was opposed to them. He wanted only Lutherans or Reformed to use the meeting house at Deep Creek in Surry Co., NC (now Yadkin Co.) where he had moved. He was owned a lot of land, having settled in Surry Co, and then in Wilkes Co.,NC. He bought land at Warrensville, Ashe Co., NC for twenty-five shillings per 100 acres. He actually owned land in many counties in NC,on both sides of the North Fork of the New River and almost all of the town of Warrensville. This settlement was once called Buffalo Creek after the stream which flows north from the present town of West Jefferson to North Fork.
He often did his own surveying and chain-bearing. Not one of the titles of his land has ever been attacked successfully in court.

Note for: Hugh Cole, 1627 - 22 JAN 1698/99 Index

Individual Note:
[family tree.FTW]

Accompanied his parents to Saco and to Plymouth.
Hugh came with his father to Plymouth, Mass., in 1633 and was admitted as freeman in 1657. The following appears in the Plymouth records:"Apl. 8 1634, It was agreed with James Cole that his son Hugh shall keep the Cowes from Apl. 15 to November, and shall have for his pay fifty bushels of corn. He shall bring them up every morning to be milked and then carry back to feed and bring them home at night."
He was made surveyor of highways at Barnstable, and granted 100 acres of land at Acushauett. In 1667 with others he purchased of King Phillip 500 acres of land on the west bank of what was named for him Coles River. He was a shipwright and civil engineer, and many of the tracts of land of Swansea were surveyed by him. he was a slectman of Swansea for many years, and was representative and deputy to the general court in the years, 1773, '74, '75, '80, '83, '84, '85, '86,and '89. He was for years the friend of King Phillip (the Indian chief). Having Veen requested by the Plymouth Colony Council to visit King Phillip and report the conditions made the following report:
"Swansea, Apl. 1, 1671. Most Honorable Sirs: --Yours I received this day whereby I perceive you desire to know what posture the Indians are in. I do not find them to continue in a posture of war as they have been. I went to Mount Hope last second day on purpose to see their proceedings and was in many of their houses, but saw nothing as intending to war. But asking them of their reason of continuing together at Mt. Hope, they answered, it was to see Phillip's child buried, and I have seen some return, but the greater part of them are together. And they have as the reason, because the wind does so blow against them that they cannot go home with their canoes -- not else.Rest assured I am yours to command what I am able.
"Hugh Cole."
"Oct. 27, 1669."
Hugh Cole was granted fifty acres of land lying between Manneonest Point and the Salt Marsh with all the appurtenances thereunto belonging, unto him and his heirs forever. (Page 149, Vol. 3,Plymouth Records.) He was granted by the court respecting his father grant, he being an ancient freeman. Six score acres of land between the Mattapoiset River and the bounds of Acushassett.
In June, 1675, at the commencement of the war with King Phillip, two of Hugh Cole's sons were made prisoners by the Indians and taken to Phillip at Mount Hope. Phillip ordered them set at liverty, because,as he said, Hugh Cole had always been his friend. He sent word to Hugh that he could no longer restrain his warriors, and for him to take his family and immediately remove to Rhode Island. This he did,and one hour afterward his home was in flames. While he had been on such friendly terms with Phillip, his was the first house burned, and Gershom Cole was the first person killed. After leaving his home Hugh Cole located at Portsmouth, R.I. The town records of Portsmouth show that, Oct. 12 1675, Hugh Cole was granted liverty to use some of the windfalls that are down to build a small frame, and to make wheels for the use of the townsmen for their money. Savage says: "Hugh was a Sergeant in the war against King Phillip." After the war in his election as representative he is always spoken of as sergeant. After the close of the war, 1677, he returned to Swansea and built a house a few rods from where Miss Abby Cole now lives. The well walled by him on the bank of the Kickemuit River is still there. This part of the land has descended by will, no deed having been made for it; it has never passed out of possession of the Cole family and is now owned by Miss Abby Cole. Part of the land owned by him in Swansea is now apart of Warren, R.I.
He died in Swansea, Jan. 22, 1699, and was buried in the Southern extreme of Meadow Neck, now known as Howland Meadow in Barrington, in what is known as the Typer Point Cemetery. He had ten children, the first seven Were born in Plymouth, the other three in Swansea.
