Mr Henry Cooke

• Birth Notes

• General Notes
  • Also father of Samuel Cook
    
    Henry was the first Cook in America. He was at Salem, Mass. in 1638 and most likely
    arrived in US a short time before that. He is believed to be a descendant of the Cooks
    of Kent or Hertsfordshire who migrated from Normandy in the 11th century. He came
    to New England as a Puritan. Sons, Samuel and Henry Jr. emigrated to Connecticut
    while the rest remained in Mass. The family also lived at Plymouth Conn. for a time.
    The farm was passed to the widow after he died and it is unknown where it passed
    from there. Henry was a Butcher .

    Note. I recieved the following eMail from another Cook tracker:_ "The only information I found on
    Henry Cook/Judith Birdsall, was from a Winch-Fitzmeyer
    Gen. Database Chart...and they have his parents as Edmund Cook and Elizabeth Nichols,
    Henry Cook/AnnaGoodere John Cook 1486. What do you think? I can't seem to do anymore
    research on Henry if I am not sure who his parents are. We do have the Cook info at our
    St. Lib. But like I said, they are on the other Cooke Line, Frances of the Mayflower.
    Others wrote me and said we do not connect with them, but they have no proof one way
    or the other. Any ideas?"
