Note

BIRTH: Mary Ann Cook, b. 15 July 1816 at Goshen, Litchfield CT. No death date. Submitted by Harriet Betsey Cook Teeples, niece, from records of Phineas Wolcott Cook, Logan Temple Endowments for the Dead, Vol. C, p. 350, #11460, FHL 17797) Also listed in The Phineas Cook family listed in "History of the town of Goshen, Connecticut : with genealogies and biographies based upon the records of Deacon Lewis Mills Norton," by a. G. Hibbard (Main Author) and Lewis M. Norton, Family History Library book 974.61/G1 H2h, p. 451. Mary Ann is named as fifth child of Phineas and Irene (Churchill) Cook, but no birth date given.

DEATH An article appeared in the Niles Republican, written by Mary Ann's brother Darius upon the subject of her death: "At Middleville, Barry Co., Mich., On the 3rd instant, Mary Ann, the wife of Philip Leonard, and sister to the editor of this paper, and daughter of the late Phineas Cook, formerly of Goshen, Conn. The deceased leaves five small children. Litchfield Papers please copy. 'Tis hard to die in spring time, when all nature is bursting forth in beauty; when the flowers which were so watchfully nurtured were opening to bloom. To thus, untimely, see a sister, the lovely jewel of our youthful days, ever faithful, ever true, fade away amid the warbles of the forest songster, from the beauties of the opening flowers and fresh green fields, doth seem to swell our cup of sorrow full to bursting nigh. But 'tis appointed unto man, once to die, and t'would be well with them if all could see as she did see, just as the spirit fled, and thus exclaim as her last words--'The Gates are Opening.'" (The Niles Republican, Saturday May 13, 1854, p. 2. Page Heading Phineas Cook, May 3, 1854, Family History Library film 2,404,498.)

DEATH 3 May 1854 at Middleville, Barry, Michigan (Copied from Ancestry.com DNA match Scott Sherman. His ancestors are Mary Ann Cook and Philip Leonard through Melissa (Leonard) Mix.)
