Maj. Gen. Daniel GOOKIN

1612 - 1687  (75 years)

• Name	Daniel GOOKIN  [2]
  	When we get our next glimpse of Daniel he is in London. A license was granted by the Bishop of London, November 11,1639, for the marriage of Daniel Gookin, Gentleman, of the parish of St. Sepulchre, London, a widower, aged about 27, and Mary Dolling, of the parish of St. Dunstan in the West, London, a spinster, aged about 21, whose parents were dead. They were to marry at St. Sepulchre's, but, as the early registers of that parish were destroyed in the Great Fire of 1665, the precise date of the wedding cannot be determined. No record of Daniel's previous marriage has yet come to light. There is nothing to indicate whether it took place in England or in Virginia. The parentage of his second wife is also an unsolved problem. The parish register of St. Dunstan in the West reveals other about her, from which it may be inferred that her birthplace was in all probability elsewhere. [1]
