See "The ancestry of Jesse Cook and his descendants" by Carrie Cook Doe, dated 1922, found at Heritage Quest Online, page 5: "In his writings, Elihu Yale, founder of Yale College, says that there is little doubt but that Nathaniel was son of Aaron Cooke who was born in Plymouth, England, in 1610, and that Nathaniel was born in England".

See "The Great Migration Begins, Immigrants to New England 1620-1633" by Robert Charles Anderson, Vol I, pages 464-467. This disputes the idea that Aaron Cooke was the father of Nathaniel as shown on page 467.
