The following is quoted from The Mayflower Descendant, Vol. VIII, pages 48-49:

"The marriage of Francis Cooke at Leyden, in 1603, is recorded in the 'Kerkelijke Houwelijke,' Liber E, Folio 69, verso . . . [but] the date is not given as a part of the marriage record; . . . It is probable . . . that the date of Francis Cooke's marriage was 30 June, 1603. . . . " [The English Translation]:

"Francis Cooke, woolcomber, unmarried, from England, accompanied by Philip De Veau and Raphael Roelandt, his acquaintances,
with
"Hester Mahieu, unmarried, from Canterbury in England, accompanied by Jennie Mahieu, her mother, and Jennie Mahieu, her sister.

"As the terms 'Jongman' and 'Jonge Dochter' were applied only to those who had never before been married, it is clear that this was the first, and subsequent records show that it was the only marriage of either of the contracting parties. The fact that the bride, Hester Mahieu, was from Canterbury, England, while seemingly in conflict with Governor Edward Winslow's statement--'also the wife of Francis Cooke being a Walloone, holds communion with the Church at Plymouth, as she came from the French,' really confirms it, as there was at the time of this marriage a large Walloon church at Canterbury, and the records of this church, as printed in the fifth volume of the Publications of the Juguenot Society of London, show a large number of baptisms, marriages and deaths of persons by the name of Mahieu . . .

George Ernest Bowman reported in The Mayflower Descendant, Vol. III, pages 95-105, considerable data about Francis Cooke and his family; the following is quoted from Mr. Bowman' article:

"The date of his [Francis'] birth is . . . unknown, and the record of his death contains no mention of his age; but in August, 1643, the Plymouth authorities made a list of all the men in the Colony, between the ages of sixteen and sixty, who were able to bear arms. The fact that Francis Cooke's name appears in this list is sufficient evidence that he was then under sixty years of age. He must therefore have been born after August, 1583. Against this official record, which is practically the statement of Francis Cooke himself and must be accepted accordingly, can be put nothing but the following entry in Bradford's list of the passengers: 'Francis Cooke is still living, a very old man, and hath seene his children's children have children:' and the marginal note in an unknown hand: 'dyed 7 of Aprill 1663 above 80.'

"This marginal note is by the same hand that added the notes concerning the deaths of Bradford and Standish, both of which are incorrect. . . .

"When Bradford wrote the words quoted, early in 1651, his own age was sixty-one, and he was but sixty-seven when he died, yet he considered himself 'aged' . . .

"Francis Cooke was probably a husbandman after he came to Plymouth, as there is no evidence that he had a trade and both of his sons became farmers . . . [and] his frequent service on the grand inquest and trial juries and as a surveyor of highways makes it clear that he was a man of sound judgment and had the respect and confidence of the community.

"Francis Cooke and his son John embarked on the Speedwell at Delfs-haven in July, 1620, leaving behind Hester and the other children. At Southampton or Plymouth, England, they were transferred to the Mayflower and in her set sail from the latter place on Wednesday,6/16 September, 1620. . . .

". . . 28 Dec./7 Jan'y, 1620/1, the Pilgrims divided themselves into nineteen families in order to reduce the number of houses to be built, and cast lots for locations. Francis Cooke's plot was on the south side of the street, with Isaac Allerton and Edward Winslow on the east and west.

"He was one of the 'Purchasers' who in 1627 bought all the rights of the 'Adventurers,' and in the division of cattle made Tuesday, 22 May/1 June, 1627, the first lot, the smallest of the four black heifers and two shee goats, fell to his company of thirteen, composed of himself, his wife Hester, his sons John and Jacob, and daughters Jane, Hester, and Mary; also Moses Simonson, Philip Delano, Experience Mitchell, John Faunce, Joshua Pratt and Phineas Pratt. The record of this division contains the earliest mention yet found of the names of his wife and children.

Families of the Pilgrims, Hubert Kinney Shaw, Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants, Boston, 1956.

Francis Cook was a passenger in the Mayflower, and one of the proprietors of the Purchade Purchase. He died in 1663, aged about eighty-one. Neither he nor his descendants ever lived in town [Middleboro - not true. His daughter Mary married John Tomson]. The whole or a portion of this tract of land was conveyed to Adam Wright and John Tomson before the general meeting of the "Liberties of Middleberry" in 1677.

John COWLES⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ was born in 1598 in England.⁽³⁾ He died in 1675 in Hatfield, Massachusetts.⁽³⁾ [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 3, Ed. 1, Tree #6325, Date of Import: Dec 3, 1998]

John Cowles, one tradition says, came from the west of England to Massachusetts as early as 1634/35; another that he came from the west of England and probably stopped in Hartford, Conn., but did not become a proprietor; another that he came from the north of England (Wales), and another that he came to Hartford among the first settlers between 1634 and 1639.
He probably came from Gloucestershire, where the Cowles family were more numerous than in any other part of England at that time, but a limited search of the records there and elsewhere in England have failed to locate the place from whence he came or to trace his ancestry.
His name appears as Coll, Colles, Cole, Coles, Coal, Coale, Coales and Coalles in the early records and for the first time as Cowles in the record of a court held at Hartford in 1659, at which he was a juror and again in two similar records and as appraiser of an estate in 1662/63. The name Cowles is an ancient one in England, antedating 1553.
In 1640, a Plantation called Tunxis, situated about nine miles southwest of Hartford, and the first one in the Colony not on navigable waters, was settled by persons from Hartford, Wethersfield and Windsor, Conn., who a few years before had emigrated from Watertown, Roxbury, Dorchester and Newtown, Mass., which in 1645 was incorporated as a town and called Farmington. It was sixteen miles in extent from north to south and twelve miles in width. The first homes were rude log cabins, but in 1645 or '46 a saw-mill seems to have been in operation and sawed lumber obtainable.
The general character and standing of the founders of the town may be learned by considering the social and official position of the early proprietors of the soil. In a list of thirty-seven owners of house-lots, five were colonial governors, one a colonial secretary, one a colonial treasurer, and a number were commissioners, deputies, constables, deacons and men of substance. The name of John Cole [Cowles] appears in the above list, and his descendants have ever since been prominently identified with the social, religious, political and financial life and history of the town.
The house-lot originally assigned to John Cowles, says Rev. William S. Porter, an early historian of the Cowles family, was on the corner at the end of Main Street, which he exchanged with Thomas Demon for the lot next south of the Meeting House, then containing five acres, where he first built his house. On account of a passway through his lot to the mountains, the town granted him a portion of the public green, and his lot ultimately included nine acres. He bought of Thomas Dement, dates not given, two other parcels of land, each containing 10 acres, and of John Wells two parcels, one of which contained 45 acres as per deed of sale dated 1650 and the other 33 acres without date. So that on January 22, 1666, his lands in Farmington aggregated 107 acres, all of which were recorded Nov. 8, 1678 as belonging to Samuel Cowles, son of John Cowles, deceased.
John Cowles served one year as constable for Farmington between 1647 and 1657; was one of the seven pillars of the Congregational Church organized Oct. 13, 1652; deputy for Farmington to the General Court Six Sessions in 1653-54; appraiser of the estate of Thomas Upson of Farmington, Sept. 6, 1655. Inventory signed by mark, John Coles; appraiser of the estate of Ezekiel Banckes of Farmington, Dec. 28, 1655. Inventory signed by mark, John Coalles and testified upon oath by John Coales, 6th June before the Court then sitting in Hartford.
Until recently it had been the belief that John Cowles moved direct from Farmington to Hadley, Mass., soon after the settlement of that town in 1659, but we shall see that he first went to Hartford and thence to Hadley and Hatfield. In 1655, '56 and '57, the property of the inhabitants of Hartford was assessed for taxes to build a mill for the town. John Cowles was then, and sometimes later, called John Coal, or Cole, farmer, to distinguish him from John Coal, or Cole, carpenter. The tax lists show that both were inhabitants of Hartford, South Side, in 1656-57, but only the name of John, the carpenter, appears in the list for 1655. We have seen that John Cowles was an appraiser of two estates in Farmington in 1655, and it is evident that he moved to Hartford in 1656.
At a town meeting, Hartford, Feb. 15, 1659, John Coal, farmer, was chosen surveyor of highways for the South Side.
At a Quarter Court, Hartford, March 1, 1659-60, John Cowles served as a juror, his name appearing as Cowles for the first time so far as found of record.
In April, 1653, John Cole [Hartford], with others, signed a petition to the General Court of Massachusetts for permission to plant homes and inhabit a place called Nonotuck, which then included within its area all the territory now comprising the towns of Northamption, Southampton, Easthampton, Westhampton and a part of Hatfield and Montgomery. In the same year John Coale, of Hartford, paid thirty shillings toward the purchase of Nonotuck, but did not then settle there.
Hatfield, Massachusetts, was settled at the same time as Hadley, 1659 to 1661. Together the two towns became the property of a colony from Wethersfield and Hartford, Connecticut. Differences with reference to church organization led to the removal. The faith of the fathers are thus early indicated. So conscientiously and tenaciously did they cling to what they deemed right that they were ready at any time to abandon home and lands and found new settlements, facing for this purpose, not only the hardships of the forest, but the dangers of a savage foe. These settlers were men of wealth and high social position and were regarded by Massachusetts authorities as a most desirable addition to the population. They had, as their subsequent history proved, the self reliance and earnestness and courage which usually attach to men who strike out a new path for conscience's sake. It is thought that a few families spent the winter of 1659 and 1660 in the new colony at the present site of Hadley village. The following summer, 1660, it is understood that six families located on the west side of the [Connecticut] River, now Hatfield, though the land was not divided until a year later. Among those six families, Richard Fellows is said to have been the first. The other five familes were Richard Billings [Billing--great great grandfather of Nathan Billing of Hardwich, Massachusetts], Zachariah Field, John Cole [Cowles], John White, Jr., and Nathaniel Dickinson, Jr. This was the beginning of the town of Hatfield, six families separated from their companions on the other side, grouped in the forest, the new settlement of Northampton their nearest neighbor on the south and all around the unbroken forest. This settlement remained officially in the town of Hadley until May 31, 1670, when it was incorporated as the town of Hatfield.
The John Cole who signed the petition in 1653 for permission to settle in "Nonotuck" is the same as John Cole (Cowles) who settled there at Hatfield in the summer of 1660. Prior to March 25, 1661, he and twenty-one others had formally signified their desire to settle on the west side of the river in the present town of Hatfield.
However, he had returned to Hartford before he received grants of land in late 1661 and June 1663 from the town of Hadley, with the warning that if he did not appear with his family his title to the land would be forfeited.
John Cowles served as a member of a jury at a Particular Court held at Hartford, Dec. 30, 1662, for the trial of Nathaniel Greensmith and his wife, Rebecca, charged with witchcraft, and as a member of another jury at a Particular Court held at Hartford, January 6, 1662/63, for the trial of Mary Barnes of Farmington, Conn., and Elizabeth Seager, both charged with witchcraft. He was an appraiser, February 11, 1662/63, of the estate of Nathaniel Greensmith, who was executed at Hartford, January 25, 1662/63.
The last continuance of John Cole's (Cowles') allotment of land at Hadley (Hatfield) was dated June 22, 1663. This was the second warning that he had received from Hadley to come with his family or else to forfeit his allotment of land. It is a reasonable surmise that his family were loath to settle in the wilderness at Hatfield, infested by treacherous Indians. If so their fears were fully realized by subsequent events, for Hatfield was attacked by the Indians in 1675, '76 and '77, and partly destroyed by fire, some of the inhabitants were massacred and a few others were taken as captives into Canada.
However, John Cowles evidently was determined to hold on to his allotments of land and to settle on them as the crop of corn on his land in 1663 indicates. He may have left his son John in charge during his absence in order to keep his claim alive and there is no reason to doubt that he complied with the terms of the last continuance and returned with his family to Hatfield in the spring of 1664, for we find him there early in 1665.
He was chosen constable for Hadley January 28, 1665. He was chosen townsman for Hadley, January 14, 1666; was made a freeman May 23, 1666, and apparently again the first month of 1669; was a member of committees in 1668 to build a church and procure the first minister; was one of the seven pillars of the first church in Hatfield, organized about 1670/71; was one of the first selectmen of that town in 1670; was a member of a committee February 14, 1669/70, "to view a piece of land for a burying place upon the Plain near Thomas Mekins his piece of land."
John Cowles died at Hatfield in 1675. Following are excerpts from his last will.

The witnesses were Nathll Dickenson Sen and Wm. Allice

His house lot contained eight acres and he may have possessed other lands; also his share of the undivided lands of the Town of Hatfield.
After the death of John Cowles, his widow Hannah Cowles, whose maiden name is unknown, returned to Connecticut and took up her residence with her son-in-law, Captain Caleb Stanley at Hartford, where she died March 17, 1683, aged about 70 years.
Excerpts from her last will follow:

I give unto my Loving sonn John Cowles six pounds; I give unto my Loving daughter Hannah Stanly Tenn pounds--I give unto my Loving daughter Ester Bull ffowre pounds; I give unto my Loving Daughter Mary Dickinson Tenn pounds; I give unto my Loving daughter Ellizabeth Lyman Twelve pounds, and if any of my sonns or daughters decease before they have reseaived those Leagasyes above mentioned then my will is that those pertiqueler sum be givne unto them, or that shall be givne unto them, shall beelong unto thayr childern after them: I give unto the chilldern of my daughter Sarah Goodwine that shall bee surviving att my desease six pounds to be eaqually devided amonst them; allso my will and pleashur is that the Leagacy of eight pounds givne unto my daughter Sarah Goodwine by my deere Husband John Cowles in his last will and testament bee payed by my sonn John Cowles unto the chilldern of my daughter Sarah Goodwine that shall be living att my desease eaqually to be devided among them and this is allso my will and pleashur conserning the rest of those Leagacys givne by my deere Husband unto any other of my daughters if itt should please god to remove them out of ye worlde by death before my desease.

John Cowles was a farmer and doubtless had but little spare time or inclination for public office; yet as a good citizen he served in the various capacities noted in his record. After raising and educating a large family of children he left a comparatively good estate.
