(Also found on https://dcms.lds.org/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=IE222959) FAMILY CONNECTIONS: WOLCOTT FAMILY Litchfield, CT is the hometown of his mother Irene Churchill. Oliver Wolcott, also from Litchfield, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, an important general in the Connecticut Line in the Revolution, and Governor of Connecticut after the war. There was a family connection which apparently the Cooks held in high regard. Phineas Cook was grand nephew of Walter Cook whose wife was Ruhamah Collins. Ruhamah was first cousin of Lorainne Collins, wife of Oliver Wolcott. Obviously they were aware of the relationship because when Wilford Woodruff (who also had a distant family connection through Ruth Woodruff to the Porters) did temple work for the signers of the Declaration of Independence, he allowed Phineas W. Cook to do the work for Oliver Wolcott who was "a relative." (Journal of Mormon History 26:68) GOSHEN, CT Land: Deeds of Goshen, Conn, Vols 7 to 16, Family History Library films 4422 and 4423.

No record exists for this marriage. It was after 1800 because Phineas was in that census in the household of his father Daniel Cook, listed in Litchfield Town, but living in Goshen. It was before 1807 because their first child was born in July of 1807. I have assigned the date of 1806 as their marriage date. Both Litchfield and Goshen Church and Vital records have been searched, but there is no record of the marriage. (JSP)
