"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.

Marriage	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.
Marriage	After the decease of his wife, Hope, (Samuel) married Mary Roberts July 14, 1690." This record incorrectly states that Samuel married Mary Roberts with no other marriage afterward.
Death	Jacobus states that Mary was 39 when she died in 1695. We then estimate her birth year to be 1656.
Note	BIRTH: Date calculated from her age at death. (Families of Ancient New Haven, Vol 1, by Donald Lines Jacobus, 1923, p. 435. Ref. is Wallingford Vital Records, Vol. 1 p. 159.) She was age 39 in 1695 so her birth year was about 1656. We know her name was Mary because it is recorded on the birth records of her children. (1:158, Family History Library film 6018) "Israel Cook, son of Samll and Mary Cook borne May 08 1692") DEATH Wallingford Vital Records, Vol. 1 p. 159: "Mary Cook, aged 39 years, died September 4, 1695." (1:159, Family History Library film 6018) Also in Barbour Collection, citing Wallingford Vital Records, 1:48. Noted to be 39 years old. (The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Vital Records, compiled by Lorraine Cook White, Family History Library book 974.6 V2wL v. 48) MARRIAGE: She married about 1691 Samuel Cook of Wallingford, and they were the parents of 2 children. They may have married somewhere else because there is no marriage record in Wallingford Vital Records. Samuel was born 30 July 1641 at Salem, the son of Henry and Judith (Birdsall) Cook. MARRIAGE DOCUMENTATION No documentation for the marriage, but their two children have vital records in Wallingford with "Mary" named as the mother. On September 4, 1695 Mary's death was recorded in Wallingford. Because Mary (Mallory) Roberts was having children with Eli Roberts at the same time, it is adequate proof of Samuel's second marriage to another woman named Mary. The only correct source for the marriage of Samuel Cook and his second wife Mary ____ quotes Wallingford Vital Records for Mary's death. Jacobus in <i>Families of Ancient New Haven, Connecticut</i> (Family History Library 974.68 D2j, Vol. 1, p. 435) states: "Samuel Cook married (2) c 1691 Mary ___ who died 4 Sept. 1695 ae 39, WVR (Wallingford Vital Records)." INCORRECT DOCUMENTATION (3) The marriages of Samuel Cook and his wives Hope Parker, Mary ____ and Mary Mallory are the subject of two articles in the Boston Transcript, 3 April 1905, #637, by "Westfield." However, the author believed Mary Mallory was his second wife because the second and third wives had the same first name of Mary, and the response if full of inconsistencies. It was not known then his second wife died in 1695 before he married (3) Mary Mallory Roberts: "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."
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.
Note	There were seven children born to this couple, all raised by Samuel Cook, her second husband. (Boston Transcript, 3 April 1905, #637, by "Westfield."
