Born on 5 Dec 1714 in Tiverton, RI.314,322 Thomas died in Portsmouth, RI, on 8 Dec 1800; he was 86.

At the time of Thomas’ birth, Tiverton was part of Massachusetts.

Thomas first married Freelove Pearce. That marriage ended in divorce. He second married Sarah Butts.

From Jane Fletcher Fiske’s Thomas Cooke of Rhode Island:251
    Thomas and Freelove, who were double first cousins, separated; in her petition for a divorce in 1762 Freelove stated that Thomas had refused to cohabit with her for upwards of 15 years and had refused to support her for said term. Newport Court files show that witnesses summoned to give evidence in September 1672 included Job Butts and Bathsheba his wife, Amy, wife of Job Cooke, and Abigail Howland, widow, all of Portsmouth, and William Read and Martha Almy, widow of Newport. ... Thomas refused to make a personal appearance in court, and in September 1762 the marriage was dissolved.
    Thomas Cook ‘now residing in Portsmouth’ was one of several men called to give evidence in November 1747 when John Butts was accused of allowing card playing in his tavern there. On 10 October 1748 Thomas Cook and his sister, Elizabeth Potter, widow, of Tiverton, were warned out of Portsmouth, and on 10 April 1749 the council issued a warrant to remove Thomas Cook to Tiverton, the place of his birth.
    On 20 May 1759 Thomas’ first child by Sarah Butts [namely, Thomas] was born, out of wedlock, and the following year, 1760, he was admitted a freeman of Portsmouth. On 6 December 1762, information having come to the town council of Tiverton that George Cook had deceased in the West Indies, intestate, it was voted to give Thomas Cook of Portsmouth administration of the estate of his late son.
    Thomas Cook and Sarah Butts were married in Protsmouth 18 December 1763. Thomas kept a publick house in Portsmouth, probably the same kept earlier by Sarah’s fatther, John Butts. In his will dated 28 February 1767 and proved 11 April 1768, John Butts of Portsmouth left to his daughter Sarah Cook ‘my dwelling house and land, bounded southerly on land from by father-in-law Enoch Briggs, next to David Lake,’ and named Thomas and Sarah Cook executors.
