2. Mount Mascall is situated in that part of the parish of North Cray next to, Bexley. This seat, which stands on an eminence, having a double avenue of trees in front of it, down to the road, is built on part of the lands "anciently belonging to a mansion which stood two fields southward from it, which, though now almost unknown, was once of some note, being called Jacket's- court, from the owners, who resided in it; and Philipott saw an old roll of Kentish arms, wherein Jacket, of Jacket's-court, is recorded; but the arms were so obliterated by time that he could not distinguish what they were. From this family it went by sale to Switzer, a name of long standing in this neighborhood, as gentlemen; one of whom, in the reign of queen Elizabeth, conveyed it to Edmund Cooke, esq. of Lefnes-abbey in this county, the eldest son of Henry Cooke of that place, second son of John Cooke of Broadwater, in Sussex, who bore for their arms, Gules, three crescents and a canton, argent. By Elizabeth, daughter and heir of John Nichols, comptroller of London-bridge, he left two surviving sons, Lambert and George.[4]

Look at "Henry Cooke Citizen and Merchant Taylor of London", PROB11-34-451. Dated July 1551, Probate Date: “xi die mensis Novembris anno Domini millesimo quingentesimo quinquagesimo primo…” = 11 Nov 1551
He mentions:
His house of Bexle in Kent, Land at Lesny Abbey, land in __?__ North Cray, Land in Essex, and perhaps land in Gloucester (?)
Wife Anne
Brothers John and Edward
Brother Thomas
"My brother Edward's eldest sonne"
He lists his sons in this order:
Edmund, then Richard, then William, then James, and then moves to his “brother Edward’s eldest son, then to “Thomas Cooke from sonne to sonne”, then “John Cooke from sonne to sonne”.
This was "Henry Cooke of Broadwater" father of Edmund, as noted on the 1574 Granting of Arms for son Edmund Cooke. The Arms "Gules, two crescents argent, a canton or", which differ from Broadwater in that Broadwater's were 3 crescents (as were Heene's, Rustington's, West Burton's, etc, all related), and a canton OR, as opposed to argent.
The Gidea Hall Cooke's were a different family.
Also, it is MORE LIKELY that Henry was second son of "THOMAS" of Broadwater, not John, which is s shown in "Topographer & Genealogist: Vol3".
Also, he more likely was born ca1515.
And, the brothers noted in this 1551 will were:
>brother John of Broadwater (d1557), who was left "Broadwater Farme" by Thomas Cooke's 1520 will.
>brother Edward who was 'not yet of age" in Thomas Cooke's 1520 will.
>brother Thomas of Heene "not yet of age" in 1520, (b ca1517, d1573) of Heene, who was left "Heene Farm" by Thomas Cooke of Broadwater, 1520 will.
Thomas of Broadwater was, in turn, son of "John Cooke of The Ffelde in the Prish of Gorynge"(d1521), naming sons Richard (of "Feelde, d1539) and Thomas (whose son John was left a legacy).
There is not a shred of evidence to connect Henry with Sir Richard Cooke, and plenty of evidence against it. Particularly the eldest sons of Sir Richard were born in the 1550s. No known son named Henry.
This has been discussed on G2G quite some time ago, and seems time to take action. Henry now being disconnected from Sir Richard Cooke and wife, as well as Gidea Hall as birth and death place removed.
