Some information on ancestry.com about John Cooke: John COOKE was born about 1597 in Suffolk County, England. He died in Gloucester, Virginia (date of death unknown). Settling in Gloucester County, Virginia, in 1650, at Mordecai's Mount, the Cookes have always been large landholders. Wareham, Woodlawn, Woodbury, Cedars, Beechly, and Chalk Level are also old homesteads of this family. Mordecai Mount went by inheritance through marriage to the present owner, Judge James Lyon Taliaferro (through the Throckmortons, who changed the name to Churchill and built thereon Ware Church). Cedars alone remains in the family, while strangers, through purchase, control the others..
The Cookes have always been a brave, hospitable and peaceloving people. They have filled prominant places in parochial, state and national governments. They have intermarried with the best families in the country, and today their blood may be found comingled with that of hundreds of other families in almost every state in the Union, but notably, in the Southern and middle Western states. Wherever found, the gentle, persistent, hospitable, sport-loving spirit of the Cookes is apt to reveal itself.
John Soule Cooke d. 1695, is apparently buried in Cooke Memorial Park formerly called Oxford Burial Hill in Fairhaven, MA. This is not the same John Cooke buried in Ware Parish Episcopal churchyard from 1680 on this memorial.
