Captain James Cook James Cook was born in the village of Marton, Yorkshire on 27 October 1728 (7 November in the Gregorian calendar), one of five children of Scottish migrant farm labourer James Cook and his Yorkshire wife Grace.
Cook was the son of a farm labourer, and the second of eight children in his family. When the family moved to Great Ayton in 1736, his father James arranged a job for Cook through his employer, Thomas Skottowe. The job was in a shop on the North Sea coast and this location introduced him to the sea.hen the family moved to Great Ayton in 1736, his father James arranged a job for Cook through his employer, Thomas Skottowe.
