Notes:

From Findagrave:
William Cooke was apparently born in Dorset, but his birth record has not been found. He attended Magdalen College, Oxford and graduated in 1587 with a masters degree. Cooke was a non-conformist. The Queen wrote a letter to the Fellowes of Magdalen, commanding them to elect Nicholas Bond as President. Twelve of the Fellows, including Cooke, petitioned the Archbishop of Canterbury on behalf of the non-conformist candidate, Ralph Smith, who was elected. This displeased the Queen and the election was overturned. In 1589, Cooke was a lecturer at Magdalen and was given a year's leave to preach in Wales.

In 1598, he resigned from the college and became the second vicar of Crediton, Devon. He had been the vicar's preacher for two years before that. He married Martha White of Stanton St. John, Oxford, daughter of John White, gentleman, on April 27, 1597 at Stockton, Wiltshire. The rector of Stockton was John Terry, husband of Martha's sister Mary. As vicar of Crediton, he became one of the twelve governors of Crediton. William and Martha had seven children, all probably born at Crediton.

William wrote his will on February 7, 1615 and it was proved on June 26, 1615. The parish register for that year is in very poor conition and the exact date of Williams' death is unknown. His successor as vicar was instituted on April 4, 1615 indicating William's death before that date. As vicar, William would have been buried in the churchyard of Holy Cross Church in Crediton.

William married Martha White on 27 Apr 1597 in Stockton, Wiltshire, England. Martha (daughter of John White) was born in 1575 in Stanton Saint John, Oxfordshire, England, United Kingdom; died in 1650 in England, United Kingdom. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Martha's husband was William Cooke, soon to become the vicar of Crediton, Devon. The rector of Stockton, where they were married, was John Terry, husband of Martha's sister, Mary.

Martha and William had seven children, all born in Crediton. William died in Crediton between February and April of 1615.

Martha was still living in 1649 when her brother John White, the Patriarch of Dorchester named her in his will.
