Hi John,
The passenger list, of the John of London, that is on the MD genweb site was a copy of the original that I had gotten from the Maryland State Archives (source given at bottom of list: http://files.usgwarchives.net/md/statewide/immigration/johnoflondon.txthttp://files.usgwarchives.net/md/statewide/immigration/johnoflondon.txt)
I checked Ancestry.com's"Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s", search results:

There were a good many Cookes who also immigrated to Maryland in the early to mid 1700s (36 in all between the yrs 1712-1748).References:
