Notities over Francis Cooke

Notes for Francis COOKE First appeared in Leiden in April 1603 as a witness to the betrothal of Raphael Roelandt, another woolcomber would would witness his own betrothal in June. He is described in the betrothal record as a bachelor from England. There is no record of their actual marriage, which was probably at the Leiden Walloon Reformed Church (records of which from before 1604 are missing). Hester and Francis were later members of the church - they had their children baptized there and letters of transfer were written to Norwich on their behalf.[ [526]] They left for Norwich on 8 Aug 1606, and Francis Cooke was readmitted to the Leiden church by communion on New Year’s Day, 1608. They returned briefly during this time to have their son baptized there. [NEHGR 189:197] An article in Mayflower Descendant 27:145-55 points out that intentions were entered in July 4 and 5. Banns then would have been read the next three Sundays: July 6, 13 and 20th, meaning the 20th was the soonest the marriage could have taken place. [ [1051]] 

Sailed on the Mayflower with his son John (who was the last surviving member of the Pilgrims, dying in 1695). His wife Hester and their children came on the Ann in 1623.[ [520]] Active in Plymouth civil affairs in the 1630s and 40s - commitees to lay out land grants and highways, petit jury, grand jury, coroner’s jury. He appears on the 1643 Plymouth list of those able to bear arms. 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].[ [501]] At some point in 1638 or afterward, he settled at Rocky Nook on Jones River, within the limits of Kingston, a few miles from Plymouth. He named his place "Cooke's Hollow.

Francis’ birth date is placed by a group of somewhat conflicting records: a note in Winthrop’s Journal says he died above the age of 80, he is listed on an Aug 1643 list of men aged 16-60 able to bear arms, and he was married without accompanying family in 1603.
