    Notes from Web Site (updated 6/26/1998) by notes from Jonathan Cook:
    "Nathaniel Cook is buried in the Fairland Cemetery, on Cemetery Road near West Fulton, NY. His gravestone lists him as dying March 14, 1852, age 70 years, 4 months, 22 days. The road to the cemetery is a one-lane, unpaved road, up a hill that can be steep in spots -- 4 wheel drive is recommended for visitors. He resided in Charlton, NY and 'Sap Bush Hill', West Fulton, NY, which has also been known as 'Sapbush Hollow' and 'Byrneville.' The 'sapbushes' were maple trees along the streams which form the valley. The hills around are steep and rocky, not particularly attractive to farmers. The area wasn't much settled until around 1800, and even then it was attractive only mainly for timber used in making shingles. Much of Fulton Hill (Fairland Cemetery is near the juncture of Cemetery Road and Fulton Hill Road, both bad) is now a state forest. He married Huldah (or Hilda) Sprague (born June 4, 1783), whose gravestone, near his but broken in two, says she died June 29, 1865, aged 82 years and 25 days."

    They had 9 children including two sets of twins.

    Notes from Web Site (updated 6/26/1998) by Jonathan Cook:
    "Nathaniel's son, the Rev. Ezra Sprague Cook became a Methodist minister, though continuing to do some farming. Although it is not clear that he had much formal education, he may have been more learned than many Methodist clergy at that time, for his family remembered him as reading the scriptures in the original Greek and Hebrew. Roscoe's "History of Scoharie County" has a list of ministers for the nearby Jefferson (NY) Methodist Church which in 1848 gives 'William Lull and Ezra S. Cook.' This makes sense, since he married Permelia Milk(s) (see MILK line) of Jeffereson on Jan. 16 (or 26), 1834, in West Fulton; she was the daughter of Benjamin Milk (1780-1856) and a descendent of early settlers like John Milk (died 1689). In the Worcester (NY) Historical Museum, a list of Methodist ministers for East Worcester gives 'E.S. Cook' for 1850, with the next name occurring in 1861; the list is incomplete, however, and Rev. Cook had presumably left for Illinois earlier, since his youngest child died there in 1858."

    and..." According to the anonymous Memoirs of David C. Cook, (published by the Cook Co, in 1929), Rev. Cook had to leave the ministry because of a bad case of 'preacher's sore throat.' He then 'purchased an interest in a woolen mill in East Worchester (p. 19), but it failed and the family moved to Northern Illinois, to farms near Wheaton, IL, According to a manuscript left by his son Ezra Asher:
    The loose morals of the whole community was simply horrible at that time. The people were literally without God and without
    hope in the world. At the next election after our settlement in Proviso, father was elected a director of the public school in our
    district and was soon known as THE director, being the only American of the three and the only one who understood the duties
    of a director. Then father usually preached to his family and to twenty others, some of whom came as far as ten miles to the
    little schoolhouse.

    Father often told us of his own boyhood and of the deplorable drinking habits. So universal was the use of liquor that a
    drunken preacher was not even blamed, especially if he had been working hard and because fo fatigue took too much toddy.
    Not to offer liquor to the pastor when he called at one's home was considered an act of great rudeness. ["Cook reports loose
    morals as 'horrible'," Wheaton Sunday Journal, July 2, 1978, p. 31]

    According to the Memoirs, Ezra Cook eventually sold the Wheaton property and moved the family to Chicago, opening a 'small printing office in a building on La Salle Street, between Washington and Randolph...specializing in bank supplies" (p. 36).
