Quoted from http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sam/fcooke.html:
"John Cooke was baptized at Leyden, Holland between January and March 1607/8 and was, thus, about thirteen years old on arrival at Plymouth with his father, Francis Cooke in 1620 on the Mayflower. He married in Plymouth on March 28, 1634, Sarah Warren, daughter of Pilgrim Richard and Elizabeth Warren of the Mayflower.
John became a deacon of the Plymouth Church in the 1630's, but he was excommunicated from the church ca. 1757. Probably around the time he was excommunicated, he became a Baptist. He was a Baptist preacher and about 1680 established a Baptist church in what is now Tiverton, near Adamsville. This was the beginning of the society which has included members of the Wilcox and allied families since its founding and which has worshipped in the Old Stone Church since it was built in 1841.
He served on juries and on various special assignments, and was a long-time Plymouth deputy. In 1664 he was granted 15 acres of land near Dartmouth and he had other significant land dealings in the area, owning 3/34 of the original grant. Sometime between 1653 and 1660, he moved to that part of Dartmouth now known as Oxford Village, Fairhaven. In 1672, the town of Dartmouth gave him Ram (now Pope's) Island in recompense for former services.
In 1666 he was a deputy for Dartmouth. John was one of the advisers for the defense of Dartmouth against the Indians. He became a magistrate for Dartmouth authorized to marry, to administer oaths, and to issue warrants for cour trials at Plymouth. He served the town several years as a selectman and was ten times a representative to the General Court. He was one of the owners of the first vessels built in Plymouth. He was a constant trader in lands at Plymouth and Dartmouth and owned lands at Puncatest.
