      Notes:

      SOURCES:
      Edward Willard is mentioned when Abiel Cook's estate was settled in Kalamazoo,
      Michigan. Edward Willard was probably a son-in-law because the other names
      which were not Cook's in this settlement were son-in-laws. In the legal
      documents concerning Abiel Cook's death it said one of his children was
      Mary Ann Cook married to Edward Willard and living in Michigan. The only
      Edward Willard in the census records in Michigan was married to a woman by
      the name of Margaret. Sometime Mary Ann is a nickname for Margaret. This
      could be the same person.
