He was at Salem, Mass. in 1638 and most likely arrived in US a short time before that. He is believed to be a descendant of the Cooks of Kent or Hertsfordshire who migrated from Normandy in the 11th century. He came to New England as a Puritan. Sons, Samuel and Henry Jr. emigrated to Connecticut while the rest remained in Mass. The family also lived at Plymouth for a time. The farm was passed to the widow after he died and it is unknown where it passed from there.
