I am looking for a Nathanel ( ? spelling ) Cook father of Samuel
B. Cook born Dec. 13, 1784 in Conn. and died in NY State Aug. 02,
1856. Samuel B. Cook married Sarah Sallie Lewis from Conn. Sallie
born Sept. 14, 1780 was the daughter of Asa and Polly Lewis. I
have no marriage date. This information came from the Stonington,
CT Vital Records, Vol 3, Page 186. I have no dates for Nathanel
but he is reported to have been married to a lady with the last
name of Brown. He is also reported to have served in the
Revolutionary War under the direct command of George Washington. I
have not written the National Archives
since my information is so scanty. It is necessary to validate him
as the father of Samuel B. Brown in order to submit a DAR
Application. I sometimes wonder if Nathanel may have come from
Mass. to Conn. Any assistance would be greatly appreciate. I have
a lot of
Cook information which I would gladly share but need instruction
as how to do this. Nathanel was my third great-grandfather.I thank
you for
in advance for any help.

the Crown in Revolutionary times, except for the youngest son,

with his family to Troy, Pennsylvania, purchasing acreage at the
