Marriage

Also found in Barbour Collection of Vital Records.

Death

"Account of debts of Elenor Cooke of Goshen..." Her son Daniel was executor.

Note

BIRTH: Eleanor was born in Flatbush, Long Island (Now Kings County) New York. Her parents are named on p. 435 of Jacobus, "Families of Ancient New Haven." PROBATE: She died intestate. (Probate Records for Goshen, Connecticut #1602.) She left to her sons Amasa, Philip and Moses tracts "of land west of Dog Pond." To Daniel "all of my right in a tract of land in Milton that I bought of Jonathan Webb." Her inventory was quite extensive, including 29 dresses and bedding worth over 100 pounds. She had a silk crepe gown and gold necklace and mentioned 20 acres in the SW corner of Goshen. Date of will was 1767. (Probate Records for Goshen, Ct. #1602, Probate Packets, 1787-1880, Family History Library film 1015130.)

Note

Wallingford Land Records (2:784, FHL 6018) Joseph Cook married Eleanor Johnson October 28, 1714 Families of Ancient New Haven, Vol 1, by Donald Lines Jacobus, 1923, p. 436. Ref. is Wallingford Vital Records. Genealogical Data of Early New Haven and Conn. Families, p. 12A records that he married Eleanor Johnson, daughter of Walter on Oct. 28, 1714. Also his death date is there.

Although all sources, including Births, Marriages and Deaths at Wallingford, Ct. 1670-1821, manuscript transcription, FHL 6052, p. 47 and "Families of Ancient New Haven," Vol 1, by D L. Jacobus, 1923, p. 436. (Ref. is Wallingford Vital Records) claim there was a marriage before this, it has been proven it was another man named Joseph Cools or Cole. The Vital Records Index is a transcription of primary vital records, and the transcriber made a mistake. It makes sense because Joseph would have been 17 years old for that marriage, and such a thing almost never happened in Colonial America.
