I've gotten back to Ann Cook (m. Nahum Daniels) who died 7 Apr 1800 in Newport, Herkimer Co, NY at age 26. She was the daughter of Dr. Samuel Cooke and Temperance Hedges/Hodges who lived in Poughkeepsie, Dutchess Co, NY. Dr. Samuel Cooke was a surgeon in the Rev. War and died in Poughkeepsie 26 May 1783 at about age 45. Besides Ann, their children were William Hedges Cooke, George Whitefield Cooke, Samuel Cooke, and Temperance Cooke. After Dr. Sam's death, the family moved to Herkimer Co, NY. His widow, Temperance, died August 1813 at age 77, and is buried in Newport Cemetery next to daughter Ann Cook Daniels. "Genealogies of Connecticut Families From The New England Historical and Genealogical Register" Vol. 1, 1983, pages 477-479, gives the family of Thomas Cooke of Guilford, CT, with a Samuel whose dates fit the above, to wit: Thomas Cooke, d 1 Dec 1692, m 1 Elizabeth ____; 2 Mrs. Hannah Lindon. Thomas Cooke, Jr. 1642-1703, m Sarah Mason Rev. Samuel Cooke, 23 Nov 1687 - 2 Dec 1747, m 4 times, #1 Anna Trowbridge Samuel Cooke, 22 July 1711 - 26 March 1788, m Susannah Mansfield Samuel Cooke, born or baptised 31 Dec 1738; A.B., Yale, 1758; d. May, 1783, unmarried. The last looks great to be the same as my Dr. Sam, except for the "unmarried" part, of course! But the families had lived in New Haven, CT, for several generations, and Dr. Sam moved to Poughkeepsie, so would have perhaps lost contact with family members who stayed put. Anyone else fit into any of these lines?
