 1   COLE, Margaret, Immigrant b: 1604 London, ENG d: 03 Jul 1686 Roxbury,
      Suffolk, MA #: COLE130

The identity of William Cheney's wife is a problem. Often reported (without attribution) as being one Margaret Cole (or Cule or Mason), daughter of William Cole and Elizabeth Deards. this is unlikely. The dates don't work.

William Cole and Elizabeth Deards were apparently born respectively in 1546 and 1550, and married in 1570, which would make them unlikely to have produced a child in 1604, the birth date usually given for Margaret. That date, 1604, is consistent with the birth date of her purported husband, William Cheney, in 1598/99.

If William's wife was indeed a Cole, she would likely have been of the next generation after that of William and Elizabeth.
