- John Cooke was born in late 1606 or early 1607, and was baptized at the F rench Walloon church in Leiden, Holland between January and March, 1607 .
John spent his early years in Leiden, Holland, and came with his father o n the Mayflower in 1620 at the age of about 13 or 14. John was then rai sed in Plymouth; his mother and sisters came over on the ship Anne in 1 623, along with his future wife Sarah Warren. He would marry Sarah, the d aughter of Mayflower passenger Richard Warren, in 1634 at Plymouth. The y would go on to have five daughters all born in Plymouth over the next t wenty years. John would become a deacon in the Plymouth Church, and in 1 636, Samuel Eaton (who was still breast-feeding when he came on the May flower) was apprenticed to him.
At some point during the late 1640s, John Cooke "fell into the error of A nabaptistry," and was cast out of the Plymouth Church. The Church recor d states: "This John Cooke although a shallow man became a cause of tro uble and dissension in our Church and gave just occasion of their casti ng him out; so that Solomon's words proved true in him that one sinner d estroyeth much good."
John Cooke removed from Plymouth and took up residence in Dartmouth, wh ere he died in 1695. His wife Sarah was still alive in 1696, called "a v ery ancient woman"; her exact death date was not recorded but it was pr obably not long after.
