“Joshua, if living, and Patience were probably still in Eastham in 1738, when their son Simeon’s marriage intention was recorded there. The last record of a grandchild born there is in 1741. All the sons turned up in Connecticut in the next few years. It appears that Plymouth, Mass., may have been a home briefly, for there on 9 Sept. 1742, Ruhamah Cook of Plymouth married Robert Shattuck, also of Plymouth. The Shattuck genealogist believed that Ruhamah was a descendant of Francis^1 Cook of Plymouth, but Francis had no Cooke descendants in Plymouth in 1742. Those living there in 1727 were in the part set off that year as Kingston. Furthermore, a study of the probate records of all born before 1710 eliminates them as father of Ruhamah.
    “When the widow Patience Cook was admitted ‘from another church’ to the Haddam Neck Congregational Church in Connecticut, 28 Sept. 1746, she was of that part of Middletown that became Chatham in 1767, and is now East Hampton. There lived her sons Josiah, Zaccheus, Jonathan, and Hezekiah, and her daughters Mercy and Ruhama.”298
