I've corrected one fact about Gookin's burial site (there are no colonial "church yards" for Congregational churches; only Anglican and Catholic churches had private cemeteries because early Congregationalists wanted to separate burial and marriage from the power of the church, giving it a state function instead. I've also added a description of the Gookin stone itself (I have studied and done tours on the burying ground for the past 20 years). Dellaroux (talk) 11:50, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I think the date for the loss of the charter is wrong; I thought it was 1684, not '86. I'll want to check that further before making a change, but King's Chapel was built by '86 and that was after two years of (sorry) harassment by Andros who was already Royal Provincial Governor by that point; he wasn't here before the charter was lifted, so far as I know...that event was the joyous occasion (NOT) of his arrival, as I believe Sewall documents.

I came across this article while editing that of John Carter Sr., who a family history said bought land from him as Gookin left for Maryland. Unfortunately, when I checked the volume I've often cited concerning Virginia General Assembly members, it lists the Upper Norfolk County burgesses for the Grand Assembly of 1640 as including John Gookin as well as Randall Crew and Tristram Norsw[orthy]]. since even handwritten scrawls for Daniel and John really don't resemble each other, my next hypothesis was that the sale could have been upon a father's death, but this article says the father was also named Daniel. So I haven't added an infobox for this man's possible term as a Virginia burgess. Clearly, he's noteworthy enough for other reasons.Jweaver28 (talk) 21:34, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
