Seven families of the name of Cook and five of the name of Cooke
are mentioned in Burke's Gen. Armory as using coat armor.

Ellis Cook, s. of Ellis the first, when a young man, cleared up a
place, built a house on it, and then (maidens, it is said, being
scarce in Southampton) went over to Connecticut for a wife.
After staying there for some time, and having found a young
lady to suit him, her father asked a friend one day what young
Cook's business was that detained him so long in that neighbor-
hood. He was told that the young man was courting his daughter.
" Why don't he ask me then ? " said the father. And seeing Cook
shortly afterward he repeated the question to him. "That is
just what I was about to do," said Ellis ; and thereupon the follow-
ing dialogue ensued : " Where do you live ?" " In Southampton,
L. I." "Have you a church there?" (meaning a church organiza-
tion.) "Yes." "A minister?" "Yes." " A meeting-house ? "
" Yes." " Have you got a house to live in ? " " Yes." " Well,
then, young man, you may have my daughter," and, the maiden
assenting, the marriage soon followed, and Ellis led his bride to
her new home in the forests of Southampton.

Coopek Family.
John Cooper of Lynn came over from England in 1635 in the
Hopewell, aged 41, with w. Wibroe and ch. Mary, aged 13, John, 10,
Thomas, 7, and Martha, 5. He was from Olney in Buckinghamshire.
He was one of the twenty heads of families who formed the associa-
tion for the settlement of Southampton in 1639. He was made
freeman at Boston Dec. 6, 1636 ; was one of the elders of the
church when it was organized at Lynn, and in 1638 he is recorded
28



218 Histoey of Southampton.

as owning 200 acres of land in that town. Some New England
writers have mistaken him for another John Cooper, who was one
of the settlers of New Haven in 1638. But the New Haven Cooper
does not appear to have had a son Thomas, while we have trace not
only of every one of his children as above given, in Southampton,
but also at least of three others, daughters, born in this country
and married in Southampton. Twenty-four families of this name
in England are mentioned in Burke's Gen. Armory as bearing coats
of arms.

As above 1 John 1 b. 1594 d. 1662 had w. Wibroe and ch. 2
Mary 8 b. 1622 w. of Henry Pierson, 3 John 8 b. 1625, 4 Thomas 2 b.
1628, 5 Martha 2 w. of Ellis Cook, 6 a d. who m. Thomas Top-
ping, 7 a d. who m. John Topping, and 8 a d. who married James
or John White. The last three are known only through the will
of 1 John 1 , which gives legacies to Thomas Topping's son Thomas,
to John Topping's d. Sarah, to his d. White's ch., to his d. Cook's
ch., to his son, Henry Pierson, and closes thus : " And give the
same counsell to all and every of you as Joseph gave unto your
brethren that you fall not at difference." The date of the will is
May 6, 1662, and speaks of the testator as being sick and infirm.

2 John 2 b. 1625 d. 1677 had w. Sarah (who d. prob. 1688) and
ch. 9 Samuel 3 , 10 James 3 and 11 Thomas 3 and perhaps ds.

9 Samuel 3 died intestate and letters of admin, were granted to his
wid. Mary Aug. 4, 1714. He was probably the grandfather of a
Samuel C, whom we designate as 12 Samuel. 5 I find no trace of
the intermediate generation omitted.

38 Sarah Elizabeth 9 . He m. 2d Sophia J. d. of Josiah Foster. He
was a sea captain in the whaling enterprise and when in command
of the Manhattan of Sag Harbor, having rescued twenty-two ship-
wrecked Japanese from starvation and death, repaired with his ship
boldly to the port of Jeddo to deliver there those he had saved.
This was the first visit of an American vessel to the harbor of that
city and occurred in the year 1845 . The act made a great and
favorable impression on the minds of that people and doubtless
made a negotiation of a treaty of commerce with the United States
by Commodore Perry more easy of accomplishment in his subse-
quent visit. He died Apr. 24, 1872, at Barranquilla, Colombia, S.
A., where he had gone a few months previous in the hope of a
restoration to health.

added in 1722 which speaks of her as Elizabeth Marshall. The
will was proved Mch. 29, 1723.
