Note	BIRTH: Vital Records of Richmond, Berkshire, Mass. 1844-1890, FHL 1901,872, item 2. Parents and birthplace were named and exact age at death given at her death. Confirmed when estimated from the 1830 census in which she was not over 40 years old. If she were 20 when she was married, she would have been born about 1788. (16 years younger than Isaac) 1810 CENSUS: Priscilla is in the age group 26-44. 1830 CENSUS: On the 1830 Richmond census There are three males in the household of Isaac Cook. One is 15-20, one is 20-30 and one 50-60. Six females: two are 5-10, two are 10-15, one is 15-20, and one is 30-40. If Priscilla was in the household, she must have been about 40 years old. PROBATE OF ISAAC: At Probate court held at Lenox July 7, 1835 Pricilla Cook of Richmond appeared to show her "husband Isaac died 24 June 1835, leaving the following children and herself at law: Ashbel Cook, now resident in the territory of Michigan; Isaac, resident in said Richmond, of law full age." Mary and Amanda are minors above 14; Laura and Lucy are minors under 14, all at Richmond. She asks that Isaac and Rechanah (Ruhamah) be appointed administrators. (Berkshire Probates Vol. 40, pp. 77-78.) 1850 CENSUS: Priscilla Cook is the head of household at Richmond, Berkshire, MA. She is 64 years old, born NY. Also in the household are Daniel Cook(or David), age 52, born NY; Ozina, age 41, born MA; Lucy E., age 16, born MA; John, age 7, born MA; Milton J., age 5, born MA; Titus, age 3, born MA; and Daniel, age 1, born MA. On one side of her lives Henry W. Chapin and on the other side is David C. Chapin. I'm not sure who they are, but since David and Nathan Chapin lived next to them earlier, perhaps these are descendants. (Roll: M432_306; Page: 24; Image: 49, Ancestry.com) 1860 CENSUS: Priscilla Cook, age 74, born NY, is living in the household of Ruhamma Andrews, age 49. Also in the household are Awiniu C (female) age 9, born MA; Sarah K. Cook, age 27, born MI; Albert Van Barnui, a farm laborer age 21, born MA; Jeremiah DeZanzy, age 21, a farm laborer born MA. Living next door is Daniel Cook, age 63 born NY; Ozina, age 52, born MA; John D., 18, born MA; Milton J. or Nathan J., age 16, born MA, Titus D., 14, born MA; and Daniel, age 12, born MA 1870 CENSUS: Not found DEATH: Vital Records of Richmond, Berkshire, Mass. 1844-1890, FHL 1901,872, item 2, p. 15 #7.
