Elizabeth Cooke

Origin

Elizabeth was born July 2, 1568 at Pemmersley, Essex, England.[citation needed] She was a daughter of Thomas Cooke of Pebmarsh, co. Essex, England.[1] Her mother was Susan or Elizabeth Brand.[citation needed]

Family

Elizabeth married c. 1594 to Edmund Reade, son of William Reade and Martha Church.[1] The first child was born at Wickford, which was Edmund's home.[1] They then lived at the adjoining parish of North Benfleet from 1597 to 1612, possibly in the small manor adjoining the church.[1] They had ten children together.[1] By 1614, they had returned to Wickford, co. Essex.[1]

On November 20, 1623, Edmund made his will at Wickford, and he was buried there on December 1, 1623.[1]

Reverend Hugh Peter

After Edmund died, Elizabeth married, as her 2nd, to Rev. Hugh Peter, son of Thomas and Martha (Treffry) Dyckwood AKA Peter, of Fowey, co. Cornwall.[1] He graduated from University of Cambridge in 1617/18, so he must have been quite a bit younger than she. Hugh was a non-conformist minister; his beliefs were so unpopular with the English authorities that he fled to Holland in 1629.[1] Some of Edmund and Elizabeth's children were living in the New England colonies by this time. In 1635, Hugh emigrated to Massachusetts Bay. He became the minister of the Salem church in December 1636, and his ideas were again controversial.[1] In 1641, he was sent as an agent of the colonies to England, where he served with the Parliamentary forces during the English Civil War. When Charles II was re-instated, Hugh was arrested for complicity, held in the Tower, and eventually executed on October 16, 1660.

Death and Legacy

Elizabeth died about 1637, and Hugh Peter married, as his 2nd, to Deliverance Sheffield.[1] They had one daughter together, Elizabeth.[1]
