Catalog Description: Thomas Cooke alias Butcher was probably the child baptized 13 April 1600 in the parish church of St. Mary, Netherbury, Dorsetshire, England, as Thomas Bowcher. He died at Portsmouth, Rhode Island in the spring of 1677, probably just before 21 May, when his inventory was taken as Thomas Cooke. (See pages 1 through 5 for a discussion of the alias.) He is known to have had two wives named Mary, but it is not known whether the first Mary was his first wife, married in England and thus the mother of his first three children"--(p. 13). Descendants and relatives lived in New England, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and elsewhere. Includes a little on ancestry and genealogical data in England and elsewhere.
