Information for her two husbands and family is very sketchy.
She married, first, James Andrew. He died Jul 10,1716.
She married, second, about 1719, Peleg Cook. He was born about 1688 in Portsmouth,RI. He died after April 1762.
Children(by first marriage): John Andrew.
Children(by second marriage): included Patience Cook Arnold and Martha Cook Corey.
NOTE: The 1952 Jenks Genealogy gives her year of birth as 1689 (as opposed to 1697). She as been thought to be the same as the Martha Cook who died in Dec 1746 and who is buried in the Captain Reuben Whitlock Lot in Warwick,RI (from RI Cemeteries database), but there is no proof. Her death has been mentioned as Dec 22,1756 in Providence,RI, but I am looking for proof of that as well.
Contributor Carolyn Kress is also of the opinion that she is the same as Martha Cook, and provides the following:
"From what I have read her two children, Silas Cook and daughter Mary Cook Andrews were buried near her. I see that Silas and Mary are buried in this cemetery.... Martha first married Capt. James Andrew, a mariner, who died 10 July 1716, second she married Peleg Cook, son of John Cook and Mary Havens."

settled in Portsmouth, Rhode Island in 1643, Volume One, p.85. (Compiled and published by Jane Fletcher Fiske, Boxford, Massachusetts, 1987)]
"Martha is buried in a small cemetery in Warwick, described in 1893 as "on the old Gorton farm now owned by Messrs Dawley, near Waterman's Corner, Coweset Road, the yard then well walled, the lot neglected." Her stone was "dark...with winged head and scrolls on sides." (Arnold's Warwick Cemetery Inscriptions, RIHS, 3:384, 407). Her son Silas Cook and daughter Mary Cook Andrews are buried near her. In 1939 the cemetery was described as on the Spencer farm, west of Harding Road and full of underbrush (Benns Cemetery 827 R.I.)"
