On 11 August 1669 "Josias Cooke Sr. of Eastham, husbandman," exchanged this land with Mr. John Freeman of Eastham, gent., receiving in return twenty acres of upland and four acres of meadow at Little Billingsgate [PCLR 3:163, 194].    In his will, dated 22 September 1673 and proved 29 October 1673, "Josias Cooke senior aged about 63 years" bequeathed to "my loving wife Elizabeth" during her life, and after her decease to "my natural son Josias Cooke all my abovesaid upland and meadow, orchard, house and housing ... excepting my share of the land at Pochett Island and about two or three acres lying without the fence"; after wife's decease all moveables "to be equally divided betwixt my son Josias Cooke and my daughter Bethyah Harding, or her children after her," except the following legacies: to "my grandchild Joseph Harding all my share of land at Pochet Island"; to "my grandchildren Josiah and Maaziah Harding forty acres of upland and five or six acres of meadow in the township of Plymouth adjoining to a place called Cook's Pond"; to "my grandchild Anna Snow" several head of livestock; to "my grandchild Steven Twining a musket which was formerly his grandfather Deane's"; to "my daughter Merriam Deane" a cow and £5; to "my son Josias" wearing clothes; to "grandchild Josias Cooke my rapier, belt and musket"; to "my other grandchildren Richard Cooke and Maaziah Harding my proportion of land at Saconett"; and to "my grandchild Richard Cooke after my wife's decease my Great Bible" [PCPR 3:1:90, abstracted in MD 15:34].

BIRTH: About 1610 based on age stated in will. DEATH: Eastham 17 October 1673 [MD 6:203]. MARRIAGE: Plymouth 16 September 1635 "Elizabeth Dean widow" [PCR 1:35]; she was widow of <A HREF="http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=greatmigrationindex&f3=jumptoSTEPHENDEANE">STEPHEN DEANE</A> and daughter of widow <A HREF="http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=greatmigrationindex&f3=jumptoMARYRING">MARY RING</A> [TAG 42:198]; she died at Eastham by 3 May 1687.    At court 9 June 1653, "Josias Cooke, late of Eastham, at the time of his marriage with Elizabeth, his wife, sometimes the wife of Steven Dean, deceased, did engage to pay several portions unto the children of the said Steven Deane" and confirmed that he had done so [PCR 2:140, 3:37].

ASSOCIATIONS: Josias Cooke has, not unsurprisingly, been claimed as a son of <A HREF="http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=greatmigrationindex&f3=jumptoFRANCISCOOKE"> FRANCIS COOKE</A>. George Ernest Bowman demonstrated that this could not be true [MD 3:97]. COMMENTS: On 24 March 1633/4 Josias Cooke was fined 6s. 8d. for an altercation with Edward Doty in which Doty "drew blood from the said Josias" [PCR 1:26]. On 12 March 1638/8 "Josias Cooke" was bondsman for William Hiller of Plymouth [PCR 1:119]. On 4 February 1638/9 "Josias Cooke" sued John Combes, gentleman, for £4 debt and won a judgment of £3 [PCR 7:11]. He was presented with other Eastham surveyors of highways for not mending the roads in a number of places at court 1 December 1640 [PCR 2:5]. Joseph Hollway sued Josias Cooke at court 6 June 1643 [PCR 7:34]. At court 7 October 1651 "Josiah Cook of Eastham" sued John Smith, Sr., of Plymouth for slander and Smith confessed that he had "much wronged the plaintiff by his unbridled tongue in these base and false charges he had charged him withall, by a letter, and otherwise" [PCR 7:55]. Josias Cooke delivered the letter of William "Nicarson" complaining about defamation by several Indians at court 6 July 1669 [PCR 7:155]. At court 1 November 1679, William "Nicarson" Sr. of "Mannamoyett" unsuccessfully sued "Josiah Cooke Sr. of Eastham" for taking a pair of andirons and one silver dram cup, saying that "said Cooke did under color of his office, for he said he was constable of Eastham, and showed him ... his black staff; and his demand was 6s. 7 1/2d., which was the first part of the rate he demanded" [PCR 7:218-19].

The Great Migration Begins Sketches JOHN COOKE ORIGIN: Unknown MIGRATION: 1633 FIRST RESIDENCE: Plymouth OFFICES: "John Cooke Sen[ior]" appears in the Plymouth section of the 1643 Plymouth Colony list of men able to bear arms; a line was later drawn through his name, indicating either death or removal [PCR 8:188]. ESTATE: On Plymouth tax list of 27 March 1634 "John Cooke Senior" was assessed 9s. [PCR 1:28].    On 6 February 1636/7 "three or four acres of land is granted to John Cooke the elder at the norwest side of Josua Pratt's land, & betwixt him & the brook" [PCR 1:50].    On 2 August 1653 "John Cooke senior" of Plymouth sold to Thomas Lettice of Plymouth, carpenter, for £3 a "house and garden plot on which the said house standeth being situate in Plymouth aforesaid in the north street lying and being next unto the house and garden plot in which the said Thomas Lettice now liveth" [PCLR 2:1:69, transcribed in MD 3:139]. BIRTH: Before 1607 (John Cooke, son of <A HREF="http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=greatmigrationindex&f3=jumptoFRANCISCOOKE">FRANCIS COOKE</A>, was baptized in Leiden early in 1607, and was "Jr." to this man's "Sr."). DEATH: After 2 August 1653. MARRIAGE: None recorded. CHILDREN: None recorded. COMMENTS: Of all the records under the name John Cooke in the early decades of Plymouth Colony, the above four are the only ones that can be assigned with assurance to John Cooke Sr. Many other records are ascribed to "John Cooke Junior" or "John Cooke the younger," but many are also found without any distinctive indicator. Many of those without a rank indicator, however, including the admission to freemanship on 1 January 1633/4 [PCR 1:4, 21], seem very likely to refer to the younger John Cooke, son of <A HREF="http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=greatmigrationindex&f3=jumptoFRANCISCOOKE">FRANCIS COOKE</A>.     John Cooke Senior was obviously a man of below average wealth and social standing. There is no indication that he was related in any way to <A HREF="http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=greatmigrationindex&f3=jumptoFRANCISCOOKE">FRANCIS COOKE</A>.    Savage suggests that this John Cooke removed to Rehoboth, and that "perhaps he removed to Warwick." But John Cooke Sr. of Plymouth must have been older than John Cooke son of Francis, and must therefore have been born before 1607, whereas John Cooke of Warwick was probably born about 1620 [TAG 52:1-10].

The Great Migration Begins Sketches FRANCIS COOKE ORIGIN: Leiden, Holland MIGRATION: 1620 in Mayflower FIRST RESIDENCE: Plymouth CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: In his attempt to justify the structure and practice of the Plymouth church to an English audience, Edward Winslow included among his examples "the wife of Francis Cooke being a Walloon, [who] holds communion with the Church at Plymouth, as she came from the French, to this day, by virtue of communion of churches" [MD 27:64, from "Hypocrisie Unmasked"]. (For further information on the membership of Francis Cooke and his wife, in the Walloon churches at Norwich and at Leiden, see Jeremy Dupertuis Bangs, "The Pilgrims and other English in Leiden Records: Some New Pilgrim Documents" [NEHGR 143:195-98].)

ESTATE: Appears on diagram of "meersteads & garden plots of [those] which came first laid out 1620," between Isaac Allerton and Edward Winslow [PCR 12:3]. In 1623 Plymouth land division received two acres as passenger on Mayflower, plus four acres for the rest of his family which came on the Anne in 1623 [PCR 12:4, 5]; some of this land had apparently been sold to William Bradford by 1639 [PCR 12:51]. In the 1627 Plymouth cattle division Francis Cooke, his wife Hester Cooke, John Cooke, Jacob Cooke, Jane Cooke, Hester Cooke and Mary Cooke were the first seven persons in the first company [PCR 12:9].    Assessed 18s. in the Plymouth tax list of 25 March 1633 and 9s. in the list of 27 March 1634 [PCR 1:10,28].    On 3 December 1638 a small parcel of land which had been previously granted to Francis Cooke was instead granted to Thomas Prence [PCR 1:103]. On 4 February 1638/9 "a parcel of upland lying at the end of Gooman Shawe's land at Smilt River is granted to Francis Cooke" [PCR 1:112].    On 5 October 1640 Francis Cooke and John Cooke Jr. were granted a parcel of upland "provided it do not exceed two hundred acres of upland, and the meadow before it," along with a parcel of upland "containing about 10 or 12 acres" [PCR 1:163, 2:149, 164]. On 9 April 1650 Francis Cooke gave "his son Jacob Cook" all his right in one hundred acres at North River granted him 5 October 1640 [PCR 12:185]. On 17 October 1642 Francis Cooke was one of those who received six acres apiece "if it be there to be had" at North Meadow by Joanes River [PCR 2:49]. He is on the list of Purchasers [PCR 2:177].    In his will, dated 7 December 1659 and proved 5 June 1663, Francis Cooke bequeathed to "my dear and loving wife" all moveables and cattle and to "Hester my wife ... my lands both upland and meadow lands which at present I possess during her life"; "my dear wife and my son John Cooke" to be joint executors [MD 2:24-25, citing PCPR 2:2:1].    The inventory of the estate of Francis Cooke, taken 1 May 1663, totalled £86 11s. 1d. "besides the housing and land," which was not included [MD 2:26-27, citing PCPR 2:2:1-2].    On 3 June 1662 Francis Cooke was included in the list of those who might "look out some accommodations of land, as being the first born children of this government" [PCR 4:19].    On 1 March 1663/4, the court "taking notice of such evidence as hath been produced for the clearing of a controversy between John Tompson, plaintiff, and Richard Wright, in reference to a parcel of land at Namassakett, do allow an agreement between the said parties, which was ordered here to be entered, as followeth, viz: that the said parties shall have equal share of the land allotted to Francis Cooke at Namaskett aforesaid, provided that they be equal in bearing the charge about the said land" [PCR 4:54].    On 8 June 1666 John Cooke, Jacob Cooke, Hester Wright the wife of Richard Wright and Mary Tompson the wife of John Tompson, in order to prevent dispute over the intent of their father Francis Cooke in his will with regard to the land at Rocky Nook, agreed to divide it into five shares, with John Cooke as the eldest son getting two shares [PCLR 3:73].    On 5 July 1670 "Whereas it is evident to the Court, that a certain tract or parcel of land, called Old Cooke's Holes, lying at Jonses River meadow, was formerly granted unto Francis Cooke, of Plymouth, deceased, in the lieu of some land which is supposed would have fallen within his line at the Smelt Brooke, but is not fully settled on the said Cooke and his heirs and assigns, this Court doth by these presents fully and absolutely settle, ratify, assure and confirm the said grant of land or tract of land, being threescore acres ... unto the said Francis Cooke, his heirs and assigns forever, which said land was given by the said Francis Cooke unto Richard Wright and Thomas Michell, commonly called Old Cooke's Holes, and since his decease ratified and confirmed unto the said Richard Wright and Thomas Michell by John Cooke, the heir unto the said Francis Cooke" [PCR 5:44].

COMMENTS: In his accounting of the passengers on the Mayflower, Bradford includes "Francis Cooke and his son John; but his wife and other children came afterwards"; in the summary of these families as of 1651, Bradford tells us that "Francis Cooke is still living, a very old man, and hath seen his children's children have children. After his wife came over with other of his children; he hath three still living by her, all married and have five children, so their increase is eight. And his son John which came over with him is married, and hath four children living" [Bradford 442, 446]. Francis Cooke signed the Mayflower Compact.    On 24 December 1636 John Harmon contracted to become the apprentice of Francis Cooke for seven years [PCR 1:46].    On 7 March 1636/7 Francis Cooke sued John Browne the elder and several others, and on 7 June 1637 Francis Cooke, having sued Mr. John Browne, was granted an execution against him [PCR 1:60, 7:5].    "Take notice of our practice at Leyden, viz. that one Samuel Terry was received from the French Church there, into communion with us; also the wife of Francis Cooke being a Walloone, holds communion with the Church at Plymouth, as she came from the French, to this day, by virtue of communion of churches" [Winslow's Hypocrisie Unmasked in MD 27:64]. BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 1901 George E. Bowman prepared a genealogy of the family of Francis Cooke, in which he abstracted every record he could find for the immigrant, his wife and children [MD 3:95-105]. Lora A.W. Underhill, in her pursuit of the ancestry of Edward Small, published in 1934 an even more detailed study of the family [Small Gen 601-45]. Mary Walton Ferris also compiled a brief account of the family of Francis Cooke [Dawes-Gates 2:238-44].

(Pope also gives Aaron Cooke an eldest child Nathaniel, but Nathaniel Cooke of Windsor married in 1649, which would make him too old to be a son of Aaron.)    Aaron Cooke had relatively few debt suits at court in the 1640s and 1650s [RPCC 46, 90, 102, 115, 119]. At court in May 1656, Janne Maton of London successfully sued "Capt. Aron Cooke" for a debt of £26 [RPCC 162]. On 4 December 1656 "Nicholas Maber servant to Capt. Cooke" was ordered to pay his master for corn he "feloniously took from him an paid to the Irishmen" [RPCC 171]. On 4 March 1657[/8] Edward Messenger sued Capt. "Aron Cooke" for detaining a sow [RPCC 186]. On 15 May 1650 and 7 June 1660, Timothy Trall sued "Capt. Aaron Cooke" for "defaming him in open Court" and won a small judgment [RPCC 212, 214, 215].    Trumbull provides a concise but excellent summary of the life of Aaron Cooke [Northampton Hist 415-18].
