    • Notes 
      • RESEARCH NOTES: Paul Henke

        The complete text of note from Lysander Berry to Hanna Cook Dayton reads as follows:

        'Your Grandfather was William Cook. He had two brothers, Job Cook and Byle Cook. Your grandfather and his brother Byle married two sisters Lucy Chapman and Lois Chapman. William married Lucy, the other brother Job went away on a ship and was never heard of again. These Cooks came from Connecticut...' (no date on the note in possession of Ronald S Cook)

        The existance of William's two brothers, Job and Byle and Lucy's sister, Lois is confirmed by the 'Proxey Baptism' list referred to above.

        Henry F (Freeman) Cook is listed as 'son' when he was baptized for William Cook and 'Nephew' when he was baptized for Job and Abial (Byle). Hannah Cook Dayton was listed as 'Grand Daughter' when she was baptized for Lucy Chapman and 'Grand Niece' when she was baptized for Lois Chapman.

        It is believed that all of William and Lucy's children were born in New York State. 'We have no record of the family being in Michigan until 1838' (Gertrude Cook Jackson - 2nd gg granddaughter).
