Hi Please allow me this; One last Link to the War of 1812 http://members.tripod.com/~war1812/allbat.html In this is a list of battles, and one is http://members.tripod.com/~war1812/batcooks.html Battle of Cook's Mills This battle also known as the skirmish at Lyons Creek was the last battle fought on Canadian soil on or about October 20th 1814. Cooks Mill was owned by My Yokom family, Mrs Elizabeth Yokom COOK born ca 1799, PA, was widow Cook, very young, , and later became the wife of Thomas Alva Edison's Grandfather .Samuel Ogden Edison they married Sept. 5 1825 in Vienna, Elgin Co Ontario. She bore five EDISON children , Thomas is from Samuel Ogden Jr son of the first wife, Nancy Simpson. Elizabeth YOKOM'S brother Richard,born 1774 was my 4th Great Grandfather, Elizabeths father then brother, both named Isaac Jesse Yokom were the owners of the mill and farm, and it's still in the Yokom family today. The house was used by the Americans as a hospital , they buried the dead in the flower and vegetable gardens, later taken by I. Jesse Jr to the woods behind for reburial. When the Americans left they burned the house, but is has been rebuilt at least twice. Isaac Jesse Sr, born 1756, died in this period of 1812. There are markers all over the area detailing the events. This is part of MY interest in the War of 1812. The daughter of Richard YOKOM,( eldest bro of Elizabeth) Huldah YOKOM, born 1814, married in Crowland, Welland Ontario to my Benjamin F. PRATT born August 10, 1808 Their son Richard Edward Pratt,born April 18, 1832 married to Mary Ann Doan in Buffalo, (another saga,}but both were Canadian and returned to Canada. They came to Chautauqua Co after the Civil War, settling in the Ripley and Westfield area.Both are buried in Westfield Cemetery. all of their children are buried in Chautauqua Co, except one, in Erie Co PA somewhere. and I am still seeking him I have most Pratts, not all. There are several YOKOM in Chautauqua Co, and Erie Co PA, now, descendants of this family also but do not know it YET.
