Rachel Varney Cook Langton Vinson (1631-1707) - The daughter of William and Bridget Varney, Rachel was born in about 1631. Sometime before 1649, she married a man named Thomas Cook, who was known as a troublesome character. Living in Ipswich, Thomas Cook was in court for speaking out against the local minister in 1649. His father-in-law bailed him out of jail. A short time later the couple was living in Lynn, where Thomas worked at the iron-works. In 1650, they would have a son they named John. That same year he was arrested for drunkenness on at least two occasions. That same year he died.

Rachel Varney Cook then married a second and more unpleasant man named Joseph Langton, who had also been previously arrested for excessive drinking. In 1652, Langton was in court for the "evil usage of a little child of his wife." Apparently, Rachel's son, John Cook, was found lying on straw with but a piece of sail-cloth to cover him in his cradle, having been beaten to keep him quiet. The court ordered the baby to be placed in the care of his Varney grandparents. Afterward, he either died or deserted his wife because there are no more records of him. Though their union was brief, Rachel would have two daughters with him - Rachel and Mary Langton.

Rachel would later marry her third husband, William Vinson of Gloucester on June 10, 1661. The couple would have two children -- Thomas and Abigail. William Vinson died on September 17, 1690 in Gloucester. Two years later, in September, 1692, the Widow Vinson would be arrested for witchcraft, along with her daughter, Rachel Langton Rowe. Both were jailed in Ipswich, but were released on bond on September 24, 1692. By this time, the witch hysteria was coming to an end, and they were never tried. Rachel died in Gloucester on February 15, 1707.
