    "NATHAN COOK rendered an efficient service representing both Needham and Dedham in the Revolutionary War. He was at the Lexington Alarm, Battle of Bunker Hill, Dorchester Heights and at Ticonderoga. He was paid by the Springfield Parish for 9 mo. 20 days service in the Continental Army. He married Bulah, daughter of Samuel and Sybil Metcalf, and settled in Warwick. His ancestry has not been traced."

  5. Allred, p. 72, says Nathan was the son of Solomon. No basis for this assertion is given, nor has one been found, and it is not even clearly if an eligible Solomon exists. Needham has various Cook families that be worth investigating. A Solomon Cook is born 1714, but he appears to drown in 1737, ruling him out. A Nathan Cook is born there in 1724 who would be old enough to have a son Nathan born in 1749 but no further record of him has been located. More research is needed.
