According toPope's "The Pioneers of Massachusetts" p.110,the parents of Elizabeth,wife of Thomas Pierce are Ryse or Rice Cole and his wife Arrold.Arrold's maiden name may be Phipps- she makes a reference to "bro Solomon Phipps" in her will.
Ryse and Arrold Cole's children are Robert,d.1660,John,James,Mary(m.Richard Lowden)and Elizabeth (m,Thomas Pierce).
In a letter written in 1661,Arrold mentions her daughter Ruth and her husband Henry Mudd,of Stepney England.
Ryse Cole died 15 Mar 1646 and Arrold Cole's will was probated 26 Oct.1662.
I hope this helps someone.
