            Cooke, John

            xxx A 1620 Mayflower passenger, Francis Cooke married Hester Mayhieu at Leiden 30 June
            1603, the records there describing him as a woolcomber, unmarried, from England (MD 8:48). Thus he
            was in Holland before the arrival of the Clyfton/Robinson Separatists. He was probably born no earlier
            than 1583, for he must have been under sixty in 1643 when he was on the ATBA for Plymouth, and
            yet not much after 1583 if he married in 1603. He appears frequently in Plymouth records on grand
            and trial juries, as a surveyor of the highways, on various ad hoc committees, and in a number of land
            transactions. (See Bowman's "Francis Cooke and His Descendants," MD 3:95.) He came to Plymouth
            with son John, and Francis's wife and their daughter Jane and son Jacob arrived on the Anne in 1623.
            Two more children, Hester and Mary, were born at Plymouth. Jane married Experience Mitchell;
            Hester married Richard Wright; and Mary married John Thompson. Francis's son Jacob married
            Damaris Hopkins, daughter of Stephen. Dawes-Gates, 2:239-57 gives a good account of both father
            Francis Cooke and son Jacob Cooke. Another good account of the Francis Cooke family can be
            found in Small Descendants, 2:601. Francis died 7 April 1663 (PCR 8:23). Son John Cooke has a
            separate entry below. See also Walter J. Harrison, "New Light on Francis Cooke and His Wife Hester
            Mayhieu and Their Son John," MD 27:145. Some confusion about the marriage of Francis Cooke's
            son Jacob's daughter Mary Cooke, is cleared up by Stratton, "Which John Rickard Married Mary
            Cooke?," MQ 49:122.

            Cooke, Josiah

            xxx John Cooke was baptized at Leiden between January and March 1607/08 (MD 27:153) and
            was, thus, about thirteen years old on arrival at Plymouth with his father Francis Cooke in 1620 on the  Mayflower. He became a deacon of the Plymouth Church in the 1630s, but he was excommunicated  from the church ca. 1657. He served on juries and on various special assignments, and was a long-time    Plymouth deputy (see chapter 5). Probably around the time he was excommunicated, he became a    Baptist. In 1664 he was granted fifteen acres of land near Dartmouth (PCR 4:67), and he had other  significant land dealings in the area. In 1666 he was a deputy for Dartmouth (PCR 4:122). He was one of the advisers for the defense of Dartmouth against the Indians (PCR 4:146). He became a magistrate   for Dartmouth authorized to marry, to administer oaths, and to issue warrants for court trials at   Plymouth (PCR 4:163). Though Nathaniel Morton called him "a shallow man," he appeared to be a

            Part Two: Topical Narratives
            Chapter 10: Land and Inheritance

            xxx There was overwhelming sentiment, at least among the freemen, that the early residents of
            Plymouth should be given preferential treatment in the granting of land. Not only were the Old Comers  provided for, but there was concern, too, that their children should receive some special treatment. This  is shown in a law of 1633 which stated "that such children as are heer borne & next unto them such as  are heer brought up under their parents and are come to age of discretion allowed, and want lands for  their accomodacon be provided for in place convenient before any that either come from England or   elsewhere. then to seeke as they are." There must have been some foot-dragging on carrying out this law, for it was not until 3 June 1662 that the General Court approved a list of thirty-three names "as  being the first borne children of this govment," to receive two tracts recently purchased by the colony  from the Indians. The list was broader than just the "first born," for it included several of the original  settlers, such as John Howland, John Alden, and Francis Cooke, presumably on behalf of their
children. Some of the names on the list are husbands of the daughters of some of the early colonists. At  least one name, William Pontus, [p.174] appears to be there only because he was of the Leiden group,  though he did not arrive in Plymouth until after 1627. The two tracts purchased were in the area later  called Middleborough and were known as the Twenty-six Men's Purchase and the Purchade
            Purchase.12
