Biography

Baptism

Baptism Jean Cooke, between January - March 1607 Leiden [1]

John Cooke, ^{[2] [3]} son of Francis Cooke and Hester Le Mahieu, was baptized as Jean at the Leiden Walloon church in Leiden, Holland between January and March, 1607. ^[1][4][5][2]

Mayflower

Mayflower Passenger List, Francis Cooke

After having spent his childhood in Leiden, John was about thirteen years old when he and his father, Francis Cooke, set sail from Leiden on the Speedwell, transferred to the Mayflower,^[6] and arrived at Plymouth in 1620.^[7][8]

Plymouth, Early Years

In 1623 a division of Plymouth land was made to the inhabitants. John was accounted for "which came first ouer in the May-Floure," in the listing for Francis Cooke 2 persons. Their lots were on the South side of the brooke to the baywards.^[9] His mother and siblings arrived in Plymouth on the Anne in 1623 and are accounted for in the group "which came ouer in the shipe called the Anne" under Francis Cooke 4 persons. Their lots were "beyond the brooke to Strawberie-hill."^[9] Their names are all mentioned in the cattle division of 1627. "The first lot fell to ffrancis Cooke & his Companie Joyned to him his wife Hester Cooke, John Cooke, Jacob Cooke, Jane Cooke, Hester Cooke, Mary Cooke (born in Plymouth)," and five others. This group shared "the least of the 4 black heyfers Came in the Jacob, and two shee goats."^[9]

John was a freeman. A John Cooke was on the 1633 list of freeman and a John Cooke was admitted as a freeman and received the Oath of Fidelity, of Plymouth Colony, 1 Jan 1633/4 and was on the tax list 27 Mar 1633/4 for an amount of 9s.^[10] There was an older John Cooke who arrived in Plymouth in 1633. Some records in Plymouth refer to John the Elder or Sr, who was granted land February 1636/7 and sold land in 1653. Some records, refer to John Cooke Jr. or younger. However, there are many records with no designation, that cannot definitively be placed with one or the other of the two men. ^[2]

Marriage

1634, "March 28 John Cooke Junior & Saragh warren were married" in Plymouth.^[11][12] Sarah was the daughter of Mayflower passenger Richard Warren and his wife Elizabeth. Sarah arrived on the Anne in August 1623.^[2] Mrs. Elizabeth Warren of Eel River, widow, gave John Cook a plot of land "for and in consideračon of a Marriage already solemnized betwixt John Cooke the yeonger of the Roch Noocke and Sarah her daughter," ^[13] Her brother, Nathaniel Warren, mentions his mother Elizabeth, and siblings including Sarah Cooke in a supplement to his will written in 1667,^[14] and 4 March 1673/4 John Cooke testified in the settling of Mistress Elizabeth Warren's estate.^[15]

Plymouth

In 1635, Samuel Eaton became apprentice to John Cooke, the younger.^[16]

The Plymouth Court required that men able to bear arms should provide for themselves a serviceable musket, bullets and powder and that they train with those arms, to be ready for hostilities of any kind. In 1637 trouble began with the Pequot Indians. Forty men volunteered (plus three more if pressed) to go in aid of Massachusetts Bay and Connecticut in their revenge against the Pequot. John Cooke volunteered "if his famyly can be pvided"^[17]. In addition the 1643 list of men able to bear arms contains the names of John Cooke, Señ. and John Cooke Jur, his boy.^[18]

In Jan/Feb 1641/2, John and his father contributed one sixteenth part of the cost of building a bark of forty or fifty tons.^[19]

One of the undesignated John Cook's (Sr or Jr?) was a deacon of the church in 1634. ^[20] In 1637, after dissension in the church at Barnstable, "one of the Church of Plymouth whoe was formerly a deacon thereof; fell into the error of Anabaptistry" He was cast out of the church. "This John Cooke although a Shallow man became a Cause of trouble and decension in our Church and Gave Just occation of theire Casting of him out." The Mayflower Society points out that this John Cooke was young to be a deacon (age 27), but that there are no records between 1659 and 1669 for the other John Cooke immigrant of 1633, implying his removal from Plymouth.^[2] A letter from John Cotton to Cotton Mather in 1681, confirms that this is the same man who became a Baptist Preacher in Dartmouth.^[21] In 1659, the court allowed John Smith of Barnstable, Isaac Robinson, John Chipman and John Cooke of Plymouth to attend Quaker meetings "to endeavor to reduce them form the error of theire wayes"^[22] Finally, John Cooke is again mentioned in this matter in a letter from Samuel Gorton to Nathaniel Morton written in 1669: "as I Remember, John Cooke was one an eminent member of your Church; who shortly after said the writings were comanded out of their hands by the Gouernour, "^[23][24]

John Cooke, Junior or younger, served on committees, and juries while he resided in Plymouth between 1637-1639.^[25], He was appointed deputy in 1654.^[26]

John bought and sold land between 1639 and 1650.^[27][28]

There are many times the name of John Cooke appears without a designation, especially as a Deputy from Plymouth to the General Court.^[29]

John's father, Francis died in 1663, and wrote his will in 1659. He named his wife Hester and son John Cook as co-executors. ^[30] Additionally, an agreement made 8 June 1666 between John Cooke, Jacob Cooke, Hester Wright the wife of Richard Wright and Mary Tomson the wife of John Tomson disposed of the land of Francis Cooke. The agreement mentions Hester Cooke is still living. On the same date John Cooke confirmed to Richard Wright and Thomas Mitchell, in equal shares, sixty acres of upland, near Jones River Meadow formerly given them by Francis Cooke. On July 5, 1670 a court record mentions that land called "old Cookes Holes," lying at Jones River was given by Francis Cooke to Richard Wright and Thomas Mitchell and since his (Francis) decease confirmed unto Richard Wright and Thomas Mitchell by John Cooke. On 1 August 1672, Thomas Mitchell of Duxbury sold to Richard Wright of Plymouth his share in the above grant and states it was given to him by his grandfather, Francis Cooke.^[31]

Dartmouth

The land that became known as Dartmouth was purchased by John Winslow, John Cook and others from Wesamequen, and Wamsutta, his son, 29 November 1652.^[32] Dartmouth was a much larger area then than it is now and encompassed the towns of Dartmouth, Westport, New Bedford, Fairhaven, and Acushnet, Massachusetts and parts of Tiverton and Little Compton, Rhode Island. John Cooke settled in the Oxford Village section of the current town of Fairhaven, on the east side of the Acushnet River. ^[33]

John Cooke settled early in Dartmouth and served as Deputy to the Massachusetts Court and Selectman of the town (sometimes both in the same year) 1666, 1667, 1668,^[34]1670, 1672, 1673, 1674, 1675, 1678,^[35][36] 1679, 1680, 1681, 1682, and 1686^[37][38] He was also sworn in as Constable in Dartmouth in 1669.^[39] The early Dartmouth town records show that besides being Deputy and a selectman, John was a freeman, took the Oath of Fidelity, and served as a trusted town agent.^[40]

2 April 1667, Sgt James Shaw for Dartmouth is to advise with John Cooke and others "incase of any danger psenting for the best defence of the place in such respect, and to see how men are prouided with armes and amunition, and to returne the defects to the said Court."^[41]

5 June 1667 "John Cooke was appointed by the Court to solemnize marriage in the towne of Dartmouth, and to give oath to witnesse for the grand enquest and for the tryall of causes."^[42] In 1689, "John Cooke is authorized by this Court to sollemnize marriages in the town of Dartmouth till this Court shall otherwise order."^[43]

5 March 1667/8, the court appointed John and other neighbors of Dartmouth to build a ferry to Rhode Island. ^[44]

A large portion of the inhabitants of Dartmouth were Friends. The next, in numbers, were Baptists, including John Cooke.^[45] 29 October 1670, "Att this Court, John Cooke, for breaking the Sabbath by unessesary travelling theron, was fined ten shillings."^[46] Perhaps he was actually riding circuit as a Baptist Preacher.^[47] It is reported that "Mr. John Cooke was censured by Mr. Reyner at Plymouth, a little before he left that church, and robbed them of their records, yet Cooke was a Baptist minister in Dartmouth for many years, from whence spring the Baptist church in the east borders of Tiverton.^[48] John Cotton gives the following account in 1681: "John Cooke who was a member & Deacon of this church in Mr. Rayner's dayes, but for scandalous persisting in offence, he was Excommuinicated. He hath since joyned himself to the Anabaptist Society in Road Island of which Mr. Clarke was Pastour. I asked him who sent him that booke, superscribed, To Brother John Cooke of Dartmouth, (Russel's booke). He answered, one of them in Boston; I asked him whether he had ever bin at their Lord's Supper? His Answer was Noe, but he had twice taught amongst them on two meeting-dayes, & that the church of which he was, at the Island, & that at Boston did hold Communion together upon all occasions. This J. Cooke never sought Reconciliation with this Church, Joynes to the Anabaptist at R. Isle, holds communion with them at Boston. I would not have my name mentioned, but doubtless it is an aggravation of their sin, who can admit a justly Excommicate to preach amongst them."^[21]

In 1672, records indicate that John had some differences with other residents of Dartmouth over who owned certain land, and in 1674 he was allowed some more land. ^[49] Other land that he owned can be found listed in his will.

The town of Dartmouth had three garrison houses: John Russell's, Cooke's and one on Palmer's Island. In July 1675, at the start of King Philip's War, Dartmouth was destroyed. Thirty houses were left in ruins and the residents fled to the garrison houses, eventually abandoning Dartmouth.^[50] The Plymouth Colony Court made note of the destruction and suggested that when they rebuilt they live closer to each other "the better to attend the publicke worship of God, and minnestry of the word of God, whose carelesnes to obtaine and attend vnto, wee fear, may haue bine a provocation of God thus to chastise theire contempt of his gospell," They were also forbidden to rebuild until satisfactory security was given by some of the principle persons. Christians from Ireland donated £124 10s. for relief of the impoverished, and distressed citizens. The sum was divided among 13 towns, John Cooke, John Smith and John Russell were to distribute Dartmouth's £22.^[51]

Death

John, the last male survivor of the passengers on the Mayflower, died 23 November 1695, Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts.^[52] His actual burial place is in doubt. He may have been re-interred at Cooke Memorial Park, in Fairhaven, Bristol County, Massachusetts. There is an interesting news article in The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, Georgia · Sunday, November 30, 1902, p. 5, cols. 4, 5, concerning his body. See clipping The current town of Fairhaven was once a part of Dartmouth.

John's will was proved 16 April 1696 and made bequests: "I give to my Son in-law Arthur Hathaway & his wife Sarah my Daughter ... I give unto my Son in-law Stephen west and his wife Mercey my Daughter ... Allso I give unto Jonathan Delano ... Allso I give to my Grandson Thomas Taber ... Allso I give to my Grand Daughter Hester Perry ... I Give & bequeath uto my Loveing wife Sarah ... And I make my said wife Sole Executrix ... this Ninth Day of November 1694"^[53][54]
