CHiVKITY' COOK CHAPTER

October 30, 1915, Charity Cook Chapter of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution was organized in
Homer, Michigan, with fourteen charter inembers. The
Homer ladies chose this name because Mr. and Mrs.
Cook are both buried on Cook's Prairie. Since that
time the members have gleaned some facts and tradi-
tions about Charity Lockwood Cook and her husband,
Elijah Cook, which will doubtless be of interest to the
people of Homer and surrounding country.

Charity Cook's maiden name was Lockwood. On her
father's side she could trace her ancestry back to 147 0,
when Annie, only daughter of Richard Lockwood, mar-
ried Thomas Henshaw and thereby became possessed
of a large estate in Greenwich, England. The first Lock-
wood to come to America was Robert, in 1630, settling
in Watertown, Mass. His son, Gershom, the great-
grandfather of Charity, removed from Watertown to
Greenwich, Conn. Gershom Lockwood was a very
prominent and influential man in the town. He served
as a lieutenant during the Colonial Wars.

With his brother William he built the first bridge in
Greenwich, Conn. From "Ye Historic, of Greenwich"
we learn that they were to receive "whatever the town
should see fit to give after the work was done." This
bridge was originally a part of the King's Highway be-
tween New York and Boston and it remained in use
until 17 8 8 when the bridge was rebuilt, a third bridge
not being built until 190 7.

Charity Cook's parents, Joseph Lockwood, Jr., and
Charity Knapp, lived at Greenwich and here our own
Charity Avas born. The father saw much service during
the troublous times of the Revolution. He served as a
private from 1775 to 1777 under Captain Peck in Colonel
Mead's Regiment under Brigadier-General Siliman.
From 1777 to 1783 he was sergeant in Colonel Lamb's
artillery. The wife and mother cared for and reared
the children at home, lending aid by her many acts of
kindness to the sick and needy, as well as making cloth-
ing for the soldiers in the field. In this work she was
assisted by her daughter Charity, who was only thirteen
years old when that dread alarm of April 19, 177 5, was
sounded.

When still but a girl, only seventeen, Charity Lock-
wood assumed the duties of a soldier's wife by marrying
Isaac Sherwood of the 2d Connecticut Regiment com-
manded by Colonel Charles Webb. To thein on Septem-
ber 4, 1780, a son was born, named James I. Sherwood.
This soldier-husband died and later Charity Sherwood
married our patiot, Elijah Cook, Sr., who became a
father to her little son, as well as to the thirteen chil-
dren born to them.

Many hardships were suffered by these two Charities
which they met with great fortitude. Th,e Tories nt one

time became possessed of the entire town of Greenwich,
plundering it at will. Terrible, indeed, was the lot of
those obliged to remain in the town. Among this num-
ber was the Cook family. So Elijah buried their house-
liold goods to keep them from falling into the hands
of the British. When the family came to Michigan
many years later some of this same furniture was
brought with them.

Elijah Cook was first of all a farmer; he was six feet
tall, of fine proportion, very proud and very stern. His
wife, Charity, was five feet six inches tall and as proud
as her husband. Though she wore caps and covered it
she was very proud of her beautiful head of hair, which
was so long she could stand on the end of it.

Elijah, like so many in that day, made shoes for his
family. Being good at it, he went farther and made
shoes for others between seasons of farming. He was
also a mason and, being industrious, often worked at
this too.

He was very stern, impatient and gritty. While
Charity, though mild and amiable, ruled him. The
granddaughter, who cared for them in their last days
found Elijah very difficult, but Charity was a pleasure
even though a woman of strong personality and having
decided opinions of her own. She insisted that people
should dress according to the weather. For instance,
if the morning was cool, she would dress warmly and
as the day grew warmer would discard some of her
clothing, t-o fit the conditions.

The women of those days wore caps and necker-
chiefs. Mistress Charity had a goodly array of these,
some of them very elaborate. She was very particular
and wanted them to be immaculate. She would wear
them until they were nearly all soiled. Then she would
have a general "clearing up time" and wash and iron
them herself. One of her granddaughters has said she
could distinctly remember her as she ironed them. A
striking looking wom.an; as she grew warm, she would
untie her capstrlngs and undo her neckerchief. So with
capstrings fiying and neck bare, she would work until
all were spic and span again.

These are little things but they give an insight into
the strong character of the woman. But she alone did not
possess the strong blood, for it was just as noticeable in
Elijah. His intensity and steadfastness of purpose often
showed itself and is often seen among his descendants.

A few incidents will illustrate his character. Elijah
wore his hair braided and tied at the back of the neck
with ribbon according to Colonial style. He came in
one day in great haste for his wife to arrange his
"queue" as he was to attend some public function. She
was too busy to attend to it just then so he took the
shears and cut off the braid. The gentlemen were be-
ginning to discard them anyway.

One day while Mrs. Cook was alone at the house some
Indians came. In those days but few houses had locks
and keys. The doors being bolted within. If the fam-
ily left home ihey braced the door shut with a stick.
The Indians knowing there would be no one at home
if the stick was up to the door would not ask admission.

This day as the stick was not at the door they insisted
upon being admitted. Their request was for food.
They Hked the white sqavv's cooking. It so happened
that it was the last of the week and the larder was
empty, there being absolutely nothing in the house to
eat except a pot of beans. In order to convince the
Indians, it was necessary to take the head Indian out
to the cupboard and prove to him that she was telling
the truth. Upon being convinced, he took the pot of
beans, called the others in and seating them on the
floor in a circle, he portioned out the beans. Each, re-
gardless of age, sex or station, received exactly the
same amount. When they had finished eating they left
peaceably. Mrs. Cook often told this incident to her
children as an example of the fairness of the Indians.

Elijah Cook was too young to enlist as a regular
soldier in the early years of the war, but his patriotism
was so great that he went into the army as a waiter to
an officer. He enlisted as a private in January, 177 7,
at Preston, Conn., and served under Captains Nathaniel
Webb, Lemuel Clift and Phelps, Colonels John Durky
and Sumner. He shared the distresses of that mem-
orable winter at Valley Forge and was in the battles
of Monmouth and Stony Point.

Once during the war he found his way into the British
camp as a spy and was there discovered by a Tory who
came from the same neighborhood. This Tory reported
Elijah, so that he had to flee for his life. He succeeded
in escaping, and when the war was over they both came
back to their homes. Elijah met this enemy and told
him that because he had exposed him in that time of
peril, this country was not big enough for them both.
He said, "If I ever set eyes on you again, I will shoot
you on sight." Joshua Vincent, who knew Elijah well,
asked, "You only meant to scare him; you would not
have done that?" Elijah stretched his hands above his
full six feet and said, "By the eternal heavens, I would."

When Congress voted not to grant any more pensi(3ns
for fear of bankrupting the country, he burned his dis-
charge papers. He applied for and received a pension
in 1832 while living at Clarkson, New York.

Elijah and Charity Cook went from Connecticut to
Stephentown, New York, where eleven of their children
were born. About 1800 he removed his family to Ver-
ona, New York. From this place in the fall of 1817
with his son, Elij-ah, he went on foot to Clarkson, New
York, where they chopped a clearing. In the spring of
1818, with an ox team, he brought his family to Clark-
son and stayed in this place until 18-36, when he came
to Homer that he and his aged wife might pass their
last days with the son Elijah. Wishing them to have
all the pleasure and comfort possible, this son built
a small log house in his door yard where the parents
could live away from the confusion of children and
farm work.

This son, Rev. Elijah Cook, born in New York state
July 17, 17 93, with his wife, Catherine Roatrick, came
with the early pioneers to Michigan in the fall of 18 34
and located near the present site of the Free Will Bap-
tist church and was one of the principal organizers of

ihe denomination on Cook's Plains. In these pioneer
days, Elder Cook was a sort of volunteer pastor for the
Lapiists. Later in life he tilled appointments regularly
in ISuriingion, Stony Point, Girard and other places.
lie was an earnest advocate of a higher order of educa-
tion and as such was one of the first to encourage and
render assistance in the establishment of the Free Will
Baptist College at Spring Arbor, the college which is
now located at Hillsdale. Rev. Cook was a man of
strong convictions and great perseverance, and one who
wielded a good moral and religious influence in the com-
munity in which he lived. He was every ready to
render aid for good and benevolent works, and especial-
ly in helping to build up and sustain new and weak
churches. Not one, perhaps, of our early pioneers had
a larger circle of acquaintances in this and adjoining
counties than Rev. Elijah Cook, Jr.

It was with this son that Elijah Cook, Sr., and his
good wife Charity made their home during their de-
clining years. Elijah passed away June 30, 183 9, and
his u'ife followed March 9, 1S43.

They need not envy those who trust to their books or
their statues or their speeches to m.ake them famous.

They have written their influence in human flesh
and blood; it will throb in the veins of the race as long
as they have a descendant in the world.

This is their promise of immortality.
