• Notes

  Born the daughter of Rhodea Harker and Green Cook, Rebecca married Abel Stafford on June 10, 1827 in Stark County, Ohio. A History of Stark County by William Henry Perrin (pub.1881) makes mention of Rebecca: "she married Abel Stafford...from Essex County, N.Y., by whom she was left a widow many years since. She is in the enjoyment of excellant health and bids fair to see the 100th anniversary of her birthday. The name of Aunt Rebecca Cook sixty years ago, was "as familiar as household words". She has life-long been a remarkable woman and her bright intellect makes her home a pleasant place to visit; her recollection of the events of early times is clear." Rebecca came close, living to the enviable age of 97.
