Note

BIRTH Philip Cook, son of Daniel Cook and Elizabeth, was born 2 February 1752 in Goshen, Connecticut. (Barbour Collection of Goshen Vital Records, 1739-1854, Ct. St. Lib. p. 17, Family History Library book 974.6 V2wL v. 48.) His name is almost always record Philip rather than Phillip--on birth, death and military records. His birth 2 February 1752 is recorded in Goshen Vital Records Vol 1, p. 268. (Family History Library film 2970.)

REVOLUTIONARY WAR      In 1776 Philip's name appeared on a document in Goshen, showing he lived there at that time.  ("Detroit Society for Genealogical Research," Vol 35, #4, Summer, 1972, Family History Library book 9767.4  C4de, Vol 35, p. 201)     In the General Index to the Revolutionary War (882851) War Dept. Office of the Adj. Gen., Old Records Dept., it lists Philip Cook: 1.     German Batt., Cont. Troups, Private(#4821) 2.     German Regt. Penn., Private  (#4822) 3.     1 Penn Regt., Private, (#4823)      "Private, Capt. John Bacon's Co.,Col. David Rossiter's Regt, Gen Fellow's brigade;  enlisted Nov. 5, 1780; discharged Nov. 7, 1780; service 4 days; company marched on an alarm to reinforce army under Gen.Stark at Stillwater (3rd Hampshire Co., Mass. Militia.)" (Mass. Soldiers and Sailors, in the Revolution, Vol 1, p. 414. 974.4/M23m)      The D.A.R.Revolutionary War Ancestor Card File (1522207) does not list his brothers Daniel Jr., Amasa or Moses Cook from Connecticut who served in Mass.  It lists Philip as follows: "Cook, Philip, Mass. b. 2-2-1758, Goshen, Ct. d. 1-9-1816, Nassau, N.Y., m. 1775 Thankful Tuttle. Pvt. under Capt. John Bacon', Col. David R. Rossiter, Regt. of Gen Fellows Brigade. (Mass. Soldiers and Sailors, in the Revolution, Vol 1, p. 414. 974.4/M23m). Descendant submitter: Jos. Roderick Cook." Noted in "Revolutionary War soldiers buried in the Nassau-Schodack Cemetery at Nassau, N.Y." to be a war veteran: "Philip Cook, b. 1753, Goshen, Conn., d. 19 Jan 1816, aged 63 years. Married Thankful Tuttle, (b. 1752, d. 1825). Formerly of Richmond, Mass. Served in the 16th Regiment, Albany County Militia, with Land Bounty Rights." (The Early History of Nassau Village, 1609-1830, Family History Library book 974.7 A1 #181, p. 38.)

BERKSHIRE CO, MASSACHUSETTS Phillip and Thankful were in Richmond, Berkshire, Massachusetts from at least 1784 (Berkshire Deeds 17:575) to 1816, during which years he sold land 21 times. Each time he was recorded as being "Phillip Cook of Richmond," until 1814 when he is recorded as "Phillip Cook of Nassau, New York." (Berkshire County, Massachusetts, Middle District, Index to Deeds, 1761-1830, Family History Library, grantee film 872067, grantor film 872066.) Comstock Betts conveyed to Philip Cook April 2, 1787 land in the 2nd division, 27 acres. On April 21, 1791 Philip Cook sold David Perry land in the 2nd division, 25 acres. (Land Record Book 30, p. 407) In Book 27, p. 203 we find Philip Cook's land was next to Abner Partridge and Levi Crittenden in 1788. Benj. Merriman sold land to Philip Cook Nov. 9, 1786 and Philip sold to John Barret Feb. 16, 1795. (<i>Richmond, Looking Backward</i>, by Gibbs, Family History Library book 974.43 R41.6, pp. 23-25.) "Minutes of tithes given by ...Philip Cook to Joseph Gould March 9, 1795, of Philip Cook to John Barret Feb. 16, 1795; of Benjamin Merriman to Philip Cook Nov. 7, 1786..."(Richmond, Looking Backward, by Gibbs, Family History Library book 974.43 R41.6, p. 25)

1790 CENSUS Richmond, Berkshire, Mass. Phillip Cook lives next door to his cousins and their mother Ruhama Cook. In his household are three males 16 and over (himself and two other males), five males under 16 (I have only four sons named) and five females (Thankful and two daughters, and two others.) (Heads of families at the first census of the United States taken in the year 1790, Massachusetts, U.S. Census office, Ronald Vern Jackson, Family History Library book 974.4 X2 1790c)

1800 CENSUS Richmond, Berkshire, Mass. 01201-01301 In Philip's household are one male 10-16, two males 16-25 and one male over 45. There are 1 female 10-16, three females 16-26 and one female over 45. (1800 Census Index, Laraine Welch, compiler, Family History Library book 974.4 X2w 1800)

NASSAU, NEW YORK "He removed from Goshen to Nassau, N.Y. where (Thankful) died Jan 9, 1816, aged 64. He d. march 26, 1825, aged 73." ("History of the Town of Goshen, CT, by Hibbard, Family History Library book 974.61/G1 H2h<b>, </b>p. 451.) "On May 1, 1815 Philip Cook sold the large area between the hill on Chatham Street and the Valatie Kill, south of Albany Avenue, to Peter C. Van Valkenburgh and Smith Griffith for $12,631.20, 122 acres." (The Early History of Nassau Village, 1609-1830, Family History Library book 974.7 A1 #181, p. 16.)

FAMILY The family of Philip and Thankful Cook with birth dates is found in the Elmer Shepherd Collection, Berkshire, Mass. and Litchfield, CT, (Family History Library film 1684313, item 7.) The family of Philip and Thankful Cook recorded: his birth, marriage and children all recorded with dates and spouses in "History of the Town of Goshen, CT, by Hibbard, Family History Library book 974.61/G1 H2h<b>, </b>p. 450, p. 451

DEATH "In memory of Philip Cook who died January 9, 1816, aged 63 years." (Nassau-Schodack Cemetery, Nassau, New York, Family History Library film 532,618, item 9, p. 54.) He is buried in Row 2, section 3. His death recorded in the Elmer Shepherd Collection, Berkshire, Mass. and Litchfield, CT, Family History Library film 1684313,item 7. Philip Cook was noted to be 73 years old on March 20, 1825 when he died at Nassau, New York. ("History of the Town of Goshen, CT, by Hibbard, Family History Library book 974.61/G1 H2h<b>, </b>p. 451.) The cemetery record gives the date January 9, 1816, and states he was 63 years old. That local record is more reliable than the one in Goshen.

MARRIAGE      Philip Cook married Thankful Tuttle who was born in 1752. She died 26 March 1825 at Nassau, New York. MARRIAGE DOCUMENTATION      His marriage to Thankful Tuttle is recorded in the book "History of the Town of Goshen, CT, by Hibbard, Family History Library book 974.61/G1 H2h<b>,</b> p. 451.
