Joseph Cook

1Fiske, Jane Fletcher, 1930- (Main Author), Cooke,Thomas of Rhode Island : genealogy of Cooke alias Butcher of Netherbury, Dorsetshire, England (Boxford, Mass. : J.F. Fiske, c1987), p.115, JSMB US/CAN Book 929.273 C776f. "JOSEPH4 COOK, son of Thomas Cook [22] and his wife Mary Cory, was born probably ca. 1697 at Portsmouth, R.I. and died "in the year of our Lord 1727," according to evidence given by his son William in a court case about land.

He married ca. 1721 PATIENCE ——, whose maiden name has not been learned. She was baptized 1 October 1730 at Trinity Church, Newport, with her son William, and that is the last known record of her.

By the will of his father, who died in 1726, Joseph Cook was left land in Tiverton, but he never claimed it and died himself the following year. His son William had to go to court when he became of age, to obtain title to the land and regain possession from various people who had settled on it. It is from evidence given at that time that the date of Joseph's death is taken. On 10 March 1743/4 Mary (Cory) Cook, then in her 77th year, testified that her son Joseph Cook deceased was "son to my husband Thomas Cook deceased" (Court Files, Suffolk, 58313).

Children, (births recorded Tiverton VR; baptisms Trinity Church, Newport):

Judge Thomas Durfee

1FindaGrave.com, http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=44979410. "Judge Thomas Durfee was long a member of the General Court of Massachusetts, he served in both the House and Senate, and for six years a member of the Governor's council, and as such was one of the honorable pall bearers at the funeral of Governor John Hancock, in 1793. He had a serious infirmity in one of his limbs, which prevented him from military service in the War of the Revelution, but was commissioned as a captain in one of the militia companies of Freetown, in 1776. He inherited a large estate from his father. He mortgaged his intire farm to raise funds to support the General Congress, and when he was paid by the Government, it was in Continental currency, which had become so depreciated it was of little value in comparison to the amount loaned. Remaining as honorable to the last as he had been patriotic at the first, he refused to pay off his motgage with the currency he had received from the Government. He said: "I received good and substantial money on this loan, and the farm itself shall go to restore it" The farm was therefore turned over to his creditor, and thus Thomas Durfee became comparatively poor."
