Elizabeth Haynes, daughter of Gov. John Haynes (or Heynes), Esq., by his first wife, Mary Thornton, was baptized 19 October 1624 in Hingham, Norfolk, England.[1][2][3][4] Elizabeth's mother died 18 June 1627 in England.[1]
John Haynes immigrated to New England aboard the Griffin in 1633.[1] His six children likely joined him on the voyage. They initially settled at Cambridge, Massachusetts. John Haynes was elected Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635. In 1636, John Haynes married for the second time to Mabel Harlakenden, and in 1637, the family removed to Hartford, Connecticut. John was elected the first Governor of Connecticut Colony in 1639.[1][3] He served as Connecticut's Governor 1639, 1641, 1643, 1645, 1647, 1649 1651 and 1653.[3]
Marriage and Children
Elizabeth married about 1642 Joseph Cooke, Gent.,[4] son of Thomas Cooke, Gent., of Great Yeldham, Essex.[1][2][5] Joseph had immigrated in 1635[1] with his brother, George Cooke, aboard the Defense. They were among the eight servants of Roger Harlakenden who were enrolled on the voyage.[5]
Elizabeth and Joseph had two sons and five daughters:
Joseph, born 27 December 1643 at Cambridge, married Martha Stedman[5] and died testate at Cambridge about February 1690/1[1][2] (see research notes)
Elizabeth, married Rev. Joseph Cawthorne[1][2] in England; she was born 16 March 1644/5 in Cambridge[5]
Mary, born 30 January 1646/7 in Cambridge, married John Talcott[5] and had issue[1][2]
Grace (again),[1][2] born 1 May 1650 at Cambridge, perhaps returned to England[5]
Ruth,[1][2] born say 1652, perhaps returned to England[5]
Thomas,[1][2] born after 1658,[5] possibly after his parents returned to England[6]
Returned to England
Elizabeth was living in January 1658/9,[1][2] when she and her husband were both recorded as in full communion with their church in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[6] She presumably returned to England with her husband in about 1659.[5][6] The family resided at Stanway, Essex, England[6] in 1665 when Joseph conveyed his homestead in Cambridge, Massachusetts, along with several other parcels of land, to his eldest son, Joseph.[1][2]
It is unknown if Elizabeth died in America or England. Her husband died in England, before 19 May 1699, when administration of his estate was granted to his son, Thomas Cooke.[1][2]
Research Notes
Joseph Jr.
Elizabeth and Joseph's son, Joseph, remained in Cambridge and the following record likely represents Joseph Jr.'s 1666 communion and the baptism of his son, John, in 1667. Joseph Jr.'s wife was named Martha and his children were Alice, John, Elizabeth, Joseph and Haynes.
"Mr Joseph Cook and Elizabeth his wife both in full Communion. There children: Joseph admitted into full communion May. 18. 1666. His child John Baptized Januar. 26. 67. Elizabeth, Mary, Grace, Ruth: all baptized in this Ch."[7]

I think the newly added son John, born 1667 in New England, is more likely a grandson, son of Joseph. Richardson's Royal Ancestry has Joseph & his wife Elizabeth back in England at that time.
I agree. If you look at the profile of John, and the source, and read what it says carefully, this is evident. "Mr Joseph Cook and Elizabeth his wife both in full Communion. There children: Joseph admitted into full communion May. 18. 1666. His child John Baptized Januar. 26. 67. Elizabeth, Mary, Grace, Ruth: all baptized in this Ch." "His child" here means the child of Joseph junior.
I am about to change relationships.
