In early 1641 Daniel Gookin, his wife Mary, and their infant son Samuel set sail for Virginia and took up residence at the Nansemond plantation. In July 1648, the Gookin family removed to Cambridge, where he was appointed Captain of the Trained Band, a position he held for the next forty years.[3] The General Court accepted this report and appointed Captain Gookin of Cambridge, Daniel Henchman of Boston, Thomas Prentice of Woburn, and Lieutenant Richard Beers of Watertown to plan for a settlement. Gookin died on 19 March 1686/7, and was buried in the Old Burying Ground (Cambridge, Massachusetts), the town's main burial site opposite Harvard's Johnson gate. Thus, while in later years Gookin was Major-General, he was still Captain of the Cambridge company.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5611.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5611.txt
