For all of you who've written to ask me for a search engine for my extensive website, I've just added one. Now you can do a name search of "First Settlers" and all the other areas at my site. Enjoy! http://genealogy2.com/ Sarah

Hi Sarah, Thanks for sharing your family history! I checked out your page for my Chamberlain and Cooke ancestors, but they weren't a match. However, your William Ballard was of interest to me. I have traced my Ballard ancestry back to Samuel Ballard II, born 9 Nov 1694 in Dorchester, MA. Do you think your William connects in any way? I would love to go further back with my Ballard line. thanks, Nancy ncook@stny.rr.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "srose" <srose1@charter.net> To: <COOK@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 4:22 PM Subject: [COOK] new COOK/COOKE data added > I've just finished adding 16 pages of America's "First Settlers", (see > names below) with extensive notes and bio's for most. > You can see the new pages by clicking on the link below and scrolling down > to "First Settlers".

Again these (probaby!) aren't my Cooks, but when you're talking early settlers in MI from NY & VT in some of those counties I may have some helpful experience. 1) All 3 places have *very* helpful volunteers on the rootsweb "state, county" message boards (and hey, some may be my cousins or yours). Compose posts. Unlike some States those are eager to share family history. 2) Just an idea, possible mindset, but families up in VT for the War of 1812-14 were descendants of Revolutionary War soldiers out of MA & to an extent CT, and a few from NY too. About 1832, after the war, they or 1812 War descendants were awarded land in MI, just as had been done earlier for patriots/Ohio. I can 'see' yours possibly making their way overland to MI via NY, & OH (Western Reserve, Connecticut Land Co keywords) rather than sailing the Great Lakes. Or do I read that they went to MI first, then to OH? I'm still intrigued that along with VT birth you've got an Orange Co NY births as well. Soldiers took their families! These guys could move even families winters via sleigh, mine did. Yours may have migrated from Orange to Tioga Co about 1818 or earlier, then up to Seneca, I've others who did. I was not clear about one thing in previous post, there was a -smallish- Orange Co down near Westchester, which was enlarged 1800 by a big cutout from Ulster Co NY. *1816 was "the year with no summer" and caused a BIG shakeup & diaspora, families moved: sons, daughters, war buddy neighbors leaving home looking for somewhere to grow enough food to feed a family. This geologic-driven human event was not limited to our new nation, it was global; the height of the last "little ice age" glaciation. It didn't really begin "global warming" in noticeable increments until around the US Civil War -- check out people's clothing, home/room size, and communicable disease spread incidence before & after.

It is interesting that your ggGrandfather is named Jefferson Davis Cook. My 3rd great grandfather John Cook Sr. had a sister named Paula Cook Davis who was the mother of Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederacy, who was born in Logan county Kentucky.

i was rereading the letters written regarding David Cook. I thought they may be related to my George, Addison, and William Cook. They were in Washtenaw County, MI in the 1840's coming from Seneca County, NY. I have a letter dated from relatives in Tyre, NY dated 1846. It is signed Joel H. and Mary Ann White to George. Several other letters of the family too as they moved to Kalamazoo County, Allegan and St Joseph County. George born 1814, VT and Wm born !827? NY. My grgrandfather,Gilbert George Cook, was born to Wm and Eva Cook, 1848 in Willis Washtenaw county, MI. I think Addison was a brother too.

Can anyone identify? I'd be happy to have a descendant have this letter. Martha

It looks like we've corresponded before. Your information is more complete than mine. I'll update my records. I can help with census records, if you need that. What else could I do for you? Let me know. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Louise M Bamford" <lbamford@nbnet.nb.ca> To: <cook@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 9:55 AM Subject: Re: [COOK] COOK, NH & Quakers > I'm interested in the Cooks who were in New Hampshire and wonder if I can > get some info. > Mine goes like this. > James M Cook b. 1786 - d 26 April 1857 Madison, NH m Jane Munroe ca 1825 > Blissfield, NB Canada. > They returned to Madison after two children were born. > Family: > 1.

It is just possible that the hospital was the only place that had a TB unit for any patients that had it. They would have been in a unit by themselves and not with the regular hospital patients. We had such a unit at Napa State Hospital.
