Y-DNA Descendants

First Generation

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 his wife continued to live in Plymouth until their deaths. He died there on 7 Apr 1663.[3]

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

Second Generation

Jacob Cooke was born in Leiden about 1617. He came over with his mother and other siblings on the Ann in 1623. Jacob married twice. His first wife was Damaris Hopkins.[7]. married Plymouth shortly after 10 Jun 1646. She died and he married second, 18 Nov 1669 to Elizabeth (Lettice) Shurtleff.[8] By his second wife, he only had one daughter[9] but by his first wife he had four daughters and three sons (Caleb, Jacob II, Francis).
