Some Interesting Facts
DEAR MEXICO INDEPENDENT: I am past seventy-three years. It may be intereating to know that I have, from the hand of Keziah Cook, widow of William Cook, a private soldier, born 1750, who enlisted at Windsor, Conn., July 6, 1778, in First Reg. Conn. Volunteers, Capt. Buell's Co;, under Zebulon Butler, colonel, the leather box her deceased husband carried through the War of the Revolution. Mrs. William Cook was a loving member of my father's family in Mexico from; 1834 to 1854, when she, an enrolled pensioner of the Revolution, under Certificate 23,870, died. I attended her funeral. A similar certificate, I am told, was applied for April 13, 1818, and allowed to the soldier, then owning and living upon the farm known as the Cook farm one mile east of Mexico village. William Cook died in 1820. He was buried just east of yonr village, so was his widow. Cook was discharged from the army June 17,1783, bringing his musket and powder horn, which I have seen and used, to Mexico, and to that farm, as a new settler, about 1804. This couple —William Cook and Keziah Watson-were married, I am advised from Bureau of Pensions, Washington, D.C; at Windsor, Conn., May 13, 1790. Henry W. Cook, whom you all know, his brother, Ed. Cook, his sisters, Mrs. Will Hewitt of Jackson, Mich., and Miss Fannie Cook, great grandchildren. Riley Everts and Charles, his brother, both of Mexico, are grandsons, descended from William Cook, the soldier, and Keziah Cook, nee Matson; Mrs. Fred E. Sweetland of Oswego and her sister, also the children of the late Lorenzo Everts, deceased, (two sons, I believe), are all sons and daughters of the Revolution. The same is true of many Adams children living near Kalamazoo, Mich.
