For more Cooke information:
There are very few references to Henry Cooke of Salem in
books or articles. What I have learned
has been gleaned from primary source material such as vital records and court
records.
There is a good genealogical sketch of Henry Cooke and his
descendants in The History of Salem, by Sidney Perley, Salem, Mass., 1926,
Volume II, pages 43-45, with other references to Henry Cooke throughout all
three volumes.

Benson and the Struggle to Settle the United States Including 194 Allied Lines,
