True was born at Plymouth, Litohfield County, CT and went with his

lived the
remainder of their lives. True was a very successful farmer at
North Bergen

He provided
a home for his father after he retired and diring the the last years of
his life.
Although the census records show that True and Mary had a son and a
daughter
no further mention of them is found after 1840, we are unable to
determine either
their names or their destiny. True was active in town politics as
well as family affairs.
Upon his death his entire estate went to his wife and then to the
Dawson
family when she died.

1789. Amy died 20 Aug 1867 in Saratoga County,
New York, at age 78. I have recently discovered
that the following information relates to another
Lyman Cook, not ours. I am not sure that I have
the spouse correct. I have kept the records in my
data base on the descendants of that Lyman Cook,
although I don't believe them to be related to
us.
I will keep looking for information on our Lyman,
who, I believe died in a poor house in Michigan.
Another rumor is Buffalo, Wisconcin and that his
wifes name was Sally (more reliable).
Born at Northbury, Connecticut the eldest of
Lemuel's children, came to New York at an early
date and settled in Saratoga County where he
lived throughout his life. Resided at Saratoga

Daniel, (no relationship to Lemuel Cook) and Rebecca Pomeroy had son,
Enos Pomeroy Cook
Enos Pomeroy Cook and Polly had a daughtr, May Ann Cook.
Mary Ann Cook married Homer Cook, who named their son after her father,
Enos Pomeroy Cook.
In essence what we have is a descendant of Daniel , Mary Ann, marrying
a descendant f our
Lemuel......which, if I am correct, means I am a descendant of the
original Aaron Cook from whom
Daniel is descended , as well as Lemuel.
Both were Revolutionary Soldiers....maybe I'll start tracing Daniel...I
did at one time but those
papers have disappeared or perhaps I gave them to someone and don't
remember who.
