Birth
Born:
 About 1602.She is sometimes speculated to be the unnamed daughter of William Cooke baptized July 1611 at Crediton. However, this is very unlikely as she would only have been 15 years old at her marriage. It is more likely that the 1611 birth date belongs to Mary Cooke who was named in the will of her aunt, Mary Terry. As the first named daughter in the will of her father she was likely the oldest and born sometime before Samuel who was baptized 13 Jan 1604/5 at Crediton. See the profile of her father.Marriage
