A BIO OF MAJ. GEN. DANIEL GOOKIN, by Laurence Overmire, May 2007:

Destined to become a distinguished figure in American history, Daniel probably grew up in Ireland where his father had business interests and immigrated to Virginia with him in 1621. Daniel's first wife is unknown. He married Mary Dolling in London in 1639. In 1641, he again returned to Virginia with his brother John, possibly pushed out of Ireland by the Irish Rebellion. He moved to Maryland in 1643, found the papist rule there incompatible and arrived in Boston May 20, 1644. In 1648, the family moved to Cambridge, where he became a prominent member of the colony. Highly educated, Daniel is believed to have been a scholar of Hebrew. As commissioner to the Indians, Gookin worked to protect them from persecution.
