Biography
Henry Cook, a brother of Samuel, came into Wallingford about 1674, and I suppose he married his wife Mary there, but at what date does not appear. Of his history little can be learned, except that he was a farmer, and was frequently elected to offices of trust and responsibility by his townsmen. That he was a brother of the first Samuel there is no doubt, as it is clearly shown by the records of Wallingford. He died in 1705, ae. 51 years. His widow Mary died Oct. 31, 1718.

Children : 1 Mary, b 1679, m Nathaniel Rexford, July 7, 1708; 2 Jane, b 1681, m Jehiel Preston, July 7, 1708; 3 Henry, b 1683 ; 4 John, b 1684 ; 5 Hannah, b 1687, m Timothy Beach, Nov. 26, 17 13 ; 6 Isaac, b 1693; 7 Elizabeth, b 1694, m Adam Mott, Aug. 28, 1717 ; 8 Jonathan, b 1698 ; 9 David, b 1701, settled in Wallingford where he died; 10 Jedediah, b 1703.
