  1. 1.  Cooke, FrancisCooke, Francis was born after Aug 1582 in probably England; died on 7 Apr 1663 in Plymouth Colony, MA.

    Notes:



    In the early 1600s, many English men and women began to question some
    of the teachings of the Church of England that had been founded by
    Henry VIII in the previous century. Some of these individuals remained
    members of the church but tried to "purify" it from within, and were
    called "Puritans". One group of Puritans founded MA Bay Colony at
    Boston in 1630.
    More radical individuals believed that the church was too contaminated
    by "error" to be salvaged, and these individuals separated from the
    church. The so-called "Separatists" were persecuted by the monarchy
    and to a lesser degree by the Puritans, and a few congregations of
    Separatists fled to Holland, where the Separatists' religious views
    were tolerated. Francis Cooke arrived in Holland as early as 1603, and
    he was or became a member of the congregation of Clyfton/Robinson
    Separatists who came from Scrooby, England to Leyden, Holland.
    Francis' spouse Hester Mahieu was a French Huguenot (that is, a French
    Protestant). Her mother was Jennie le Mahieu and her father may have
    been Jacques Mahieu.
    Although the Separatists were able to worship freely in Holland, they
    found that it was very difficult to make a living there. (Most of the
    Separatists had been farmers in England, and they had to learn new but
    lower paying job skills in urban Holland. For example, Francis became
    a woolcomber.) The Separatists also discovered that their children
    were slowly slipping away from the Separatist faith in easy going
    Holland, and in fact were becoming more Dutch than English.
    Accordingly, the Clyfton/Robinson Separatists entered into an
    agreement with a group of "Adventurers" (venture capitalists, really)
    in England pursuant to which the Adventurers would pay for the passage
    of some of the Separatists to America in return for a certain
    percentage of the fruits of their labors. The Adventurers also
    financed the passage of a number of passengers who came to America for
    purely economic reasons and who were called the "Strangers" by the
    Separatists. Francis Cooke and his son John came to America with the
    first group of Separatists on the Mayflower in 1620. Francis Cooke was
    a signatory to the Mayflower Compact, which first established the
    principles of democratic government in America. Congregationalist
    churches evolved from the Separatist congregations that came to
    America.
    Either by accident or design, the Mayflower did not land as intended
    at Jamestown, VA Colony but instead arrived at Cape Cod in November.
    The Mayflower passengers founded a new colony at Plymouth. Francis and
    John both survived the first winter in which almost half of the
    passengers perished.

    Francis married Mahieu, Hester on 4 Jul 1603 in Leyden, Holland. Hester died after 1666. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
