Not much is known about the origins of Francis Cooke. He is believed to have been born about 1583[1] He registered his Banns to marry Hester Mahieu in Leiden on July 4, 1603.[2] The family is generally believed to have lived in Leiden until they emigrated aboard the Mayflower in 1620.

Francis and Hester had an infant (sex unknown) who was buried at Leiden on 20 May 1608[4] then had two sons and four daughters. The sons were John and Jacob. John married Sarah Warren[5] but they only had five daughters.[6] Thus, the Y-DNA line only continues from Jacob
