Facts and events

Marriage	1691 New Haven, New Haven, Connecticut, USA Note: The following records make it seem as if Mary Mallory was the second and last wife: The following records make it seem as if Mary Mallory was the second and last wife: Marriage of Samuel Cook and Mary Roberts, 14 July 1690 at Wallingford <i>(Early Families of Wallingford, Connecticut</i>, p. 66. "Mary (widow) Roberts married Samuel Cook 14 July 1690 at Wallingford. "American Marriages before 1699," Online publication - Provo, UT, USA: The Generations Network, Inc., 1997.Original data - Clemens, William Montgomery. American Marriage Records Before 1699. Pompton Lakes, NJ, USA: Biblio Co., 1926.Original data: Clemens, William Montgomery. "In the History of Goshen, Connecticut," it also states that his second marriage to Mary Roberts on July 14, 1690. These sources seem to copy each other in claiming Samuel's second marriage was his last. It seems correct until one realizes Mary Mallory Roberts was still married and having children with Eli Roberts when this marriage took place. In fact, children were born to Mary, the second wife of Samuel Cook and Mary, the current wife of Eli Roberts at almost the same time. Clearly there was a second marriage on 14 July 1690 before Samuel Cook's third marriage in 1696.

Note	Families of Ancient New Haven, Vol 1, by Donald Lines Jacobus, 1923, p. 435: "Samuel Cook m. abt 1691 (2) Mary _____, who d. 4 Sept. 1695 age 39 (Wallingford Vital Records)." As Jacobus stated, there is no vital record for this marriage. (Vital Records of New Haven, 1649-1850, Family History Library book 974.68 V2v, Part 1, pp. 64-65.) Since there is no death record for Hope, it is assumed the marriage took place a year before the birth of their child. This marriage is the subject of two articles in the Boston Transcript, 3 April 1905, #637, by "Westfield." However, there are errors in this opinion: "Samuel (2) Cooke, son of Henry (1) Cooke married second July 14, 1696, Mary Roberts, widow of Eli Roberts, with seven Roberts children and Samuel Cooke had eight children by his first wife, Hope Parker, whom he married May 2, 1667, and by second wife had three more children, making eighteen children. Then Samuel Cooke died March 1702 and his widow married again April 9, 1705 Daniel Howe. Proved by County Court Records thus: Ely Roberts inventory, taken June 1693, and May, 1695, Court granted Mary Roberts of New Haven right to sell about 30 acres from her husband’s estate, he being insolvent when deceased, leaving seven children for her to bring up. The same records show in 1705, estate of Daniel Howe of Wallingford, Conn., late deceased, to Mary Howe, alias Cooke, executrix of Ely Roberts." The second article in the New York Times was published 25 Jun 1923 #851: Mary, widow of Eli Roberts Married Samuel Cooke. She married third Jeremiah Howe of New Haven and Wallingford.
