About Susannah Cooke

From https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=130616631

Susannah Thrasher was born abt 1625 in Gloucester, Gloucester, Virginia, United States. She is the daughter of Robert Earl Thrasher (1603-1657) and Isabell Elizabeth (Painter) Thrasher (1603-1680).

Susannah married Michael Peasley in 1643 in Gloucester, Gloucester, Virginia, United States. Michael and Susanah Peasley were the parents of 2 known children, Henry and Elizabeth. Michael died in May, 1647.

Susannah married Mordecai Cooke (1623-1667) at Mordecais Mt, Gloucester, Virginia, USA in 1648. He is the son of John Cooke (1597-) and Ann (Todd) Cooke (1597-1682).

Morecai Cooke and Susannah Cooke are the parents of the following known children: Hans Mordecai, Susan, Frances, Giles, John and Thomas Cooke.

Susannah died abt 1670 in Mordecais Mount, Gloucester, Virginia, United States. 




Mordecai first lived in Elizabeth City, Virginia in 1639, where he appeares in 1645 as a witness in a suit. he next appears in 1646 in York County, Virginia. His wife Susannah was previously married to Michael Peasley and they had two children, Henry and Elizabeth. Michael's will was probated on 22 May 1647 in Gloucester County, Virginia, leaving his wife Susannah a widow. No record of Susannah's maiden name was found. After her marriage to Mordecai, he became guardian for Elizabeth but not Henry (indicating he was 21 y/o). On 2 Oct 1650 Mordecai patented land on Mock-Jock Bay, 1174 acres. This became the family seat known as "Mordecai Mount", in Gloucester County, Virginia. In 1667, Susannah's name appears in a patent with land next to theirs, so Mordecai had already died before then.
