Family Recorded, in Cooke, Joseph. A Grandfather’s Story and Family Record by One of the Family.

... I was twelve years old when we went to Ohio; we make the journey of nearly five hundred miles in wagons starting in April and arriving at the place of our destination in five or six weeks. Father here bought land for a farm which he improved, and on which in 1841 he built a comfortable residence where he and mother made their home for the remainder of their lives.

Mother was born in Harrington Conn. Her father William Benton, followed the business of contractor and builder. He moved to Adams about the same time as did grandfather Cooke, where for some years he ran a hotel. He had two sons, Pomeroy and Wells and four daughters, Lois, Maria, Nancy and Julia. ...
