Elizabeth Wolcott

Other Events and Attributes:

• Cemetery: Re-interment

Notes:

Elizabeth is buried in the Springfield Cemetery in Springfield Massachusetts. The original burial grounds was at the riverfront behind the Old First Church. To make way for a railroad, 2024 bodies were moved to the cemetery on the hill in 1849 and placed in a mass grave. The main entrance to the cemtery is on Maple St but the graves are at the Pine Street entrance. Most of this information is found in the Cooley Genealogy by Mortimer E. Cooley published in 1941.

Cemetery:
Buried behind the Springfield church, the bodies were disinterred and moved to the Springfield Cemetery.

Notes:

Benjamin4 Cooley was born 5 Nov 1701, probably in the long meddowe precinct of Springfield, Hampshire County, Massachusetts. He was twice married, first to Elisabeth Charles, second to Mary Needham.
In Mass Vital Records microfilmed by LDS Church there is an entry: #9-Greenwich p36 "Mary daughter of Benjn Cooley by Mary his wife was born Dec 24, 1768". This is highly unlikely since there was already a Mary Cooley b. 1750, d. 1769. While the first Mary died young in 1769 and sometimes families, who lost a child renamed a later child the same name, there is overlap here.

Notes:

The name Keziah is a Biblical name taken from the Hebrew Bible. It is variously spelled Keziah, Kezia, Kesia, and Kesiah and is variously pronounced k'zye-ah, kee-zha, or k'zee-ah. From the Abarim Publications' Biblical Name Vault: Keziah was the second of three daughters of Job (Job 42:14), the others being Jemimah and Keren-happuch. In Hebrew, the name's meaning derives from the Cassia tree and the spicy sweet-smelling cinnamon powder obtained from that tree.
Worcester County formed in 1731 from Sussex, Middlesex, and Hampshire

Keziah married Philip Goss on 25 Nov 1723 in Brookfield, Worcester Co, Massachusetts. Philip was born about 1700 in Lancaster, Middlesex Co, Massachusetts; died before 17 Sep 1742 in Brookfield, Worcester Co, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Azariah Sr Cooley's association (marriage) with Rebekah Dicks is not documented but the birth of a child, Azeriah Jr, is found in MVR Brimfield Births. This leads to the conclusion Azariah and Rebekah were not married. Here is the exact line from Brimfield Births: Cooley
Azeriah, s. Rebekah Dicks, Mar. 7 1731. Note that a father is not mentioned so it is possible that a Cooley other than Azariah could have been a father. However, for lack of information, I have assigned Azariah Sr as the father of Azariah Jr. as did the Cooley Genealogy.

(Research):The name Azariah or the slightly expanded but essentially the same name Azariahu is among the most popular in the Bible. It means "Yahweh has helped" in Hebrew where it was the name of the Hebrew God represented in Hebrew by the tetragrammaton ("four letters") Yod Heh Vav Heh.

The report of the Acting Surveyor General bearing date the 21st of September, 1795, relative to the lands between Long Point and the Grand
River was laid before the Council.
Gideon Cooley, Sen. whose son Luther Cooley received a ticket of location from Andrew Pierce for lot No. 1 in the 12th con. on the head waters of Patter- son's Creek on Lake Erie, the said Luther having by the paper annexed to his petition given up his right thereto to the petitioner, who prays that the same may be granted to him.

Brantford Ontario is a city located on the Grand River in southwestern Ontario, Canada. It was incorporated as a city in 1877. This single-tier municipality is part of Brant County. Brantford is sometimes known by the nickname The Telephone City, after one of the city's most famous former residents, Alexander Graham Bell. The Native-American tribe the Attawandaron, or Neutral Nation, lived in the Grand River valley area before the 17th century; their main village and seat of the chief, Kandoucho, was identified by 19th-century historians as having been located on the Grand River where Brantford lies today. This town, like the rest of their settlements, was destroyed when the Iroquois declared war in 1650 and exterminated the Neutral nation. In 1784, Captain Joseph Brant and the Six Nations Indians left New York for Canada. As a reward for their loyalty to the British Crown, they were given a large land grant on the Grand River. The original Mohawk settlement was on the south edge of the present-day city at a location favourable for landing canoes. Brant's crossing of the river gave the original name to the area: Brant's ford. By 1847, European settlers began to settle further up the river at a ford in the Grand River and named the village Brantford. The native settlement was abandoned except for the Mohawk Chapel which remains Ontario's oldest Protestant church.

Gideon married Elizabeth Osborn in 9 Oct 1758 (Intention) in Greenwich, Hampshire Co, Massachusetts. Elizabeth was born about 1743 in Brimfield, Hampshire Co, Massachusetts; died about 1800 in Brantford, Brant Co, Ontario. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

ii Eunice Cooley
da. Benjamin, No. 269 above, b. Sept. 2, 1732, Brimfield, Mass.; d. about 1825-30, place unknown. On Apr. 13, 1752, her intention to wed was filed in Leicester, Mass., and on May 4, 1752, she was married to Benjamin Garfield of Leicester. He may have been the son of Benjamin and Bethia (How) Garfield, b. May 6, 1718, Marlboro, Mass., d. June 27, 1755. Eunice m. (2), prob. in 1756, Ephraim Pratt, res. Hardwick (now Dana) and Wendell, Mass., d. Wendell, Jan. 20, 1809, bur. near Shutesbury and Lock's Village, Mass., prob. s. Phineas and Martha (Puffer), b. Jan. 10, 1732, Sudbury, Mass. Eunice (Cooley) Garfield was his second wife; the name of his first wife is not known.
Benjamin Garfield and Eunice (Cooley) lived near Northfield, Mass., and had one or more children, of whom nothing is known. One report cites a son, captured with his mother by the Indians, who visited his mother in later years, but preferred to live like a savage, as he had been brought up as an Indian; another report says she had only a daughter, Eunice Garfield, concerning whose fate Mrs. Garfield was uncertain. It seems likely that the story concerning the son is "historical fiction" rather than fact; such stories were common regarding anyone with children captured by the Indians.
Married in 1752, captured in 1755, Eunice Cooley Garfield probably had a two-year-old child and an infant; the infant was probably slain by the Indians; generally, when a long march was intended, the mothers were not permitted to carry small infants with them.
In 1742 Orlando Bridgman had built a block-house on his farm, which stood within the then limits of Northfield, Mass. The fort was strongly built and well-picketed, and occupied by three families, those of Caleb How, Hilkiah Grout, and Benjamin Garfield.
On the morning of June 27, 1755, three years after the marriage of Benjamin Garfield and Eunice Cooley, these three men, with the two young sons of Caleb How, went to work in a meadow on the bank of the river a little above the fort. About sunset they started to return to the block-house. Mr. How and his sons were on horseback, and a little ahead of the others. Upon reaching the meadow hill north of the fort, they were fired upon from ambush. Caleb How was shot in the thigh and brought to the ground; he was then scalped by the Indians, and struck by a hatchet in the head and left for dead. His boys were taken alive. Grout and Garfield attempted to escape by crossing the river; Grout succeeded, but Benjamin Garfield was drowned.
As soon as it grew dark the Indians went to the fort, made the proper signal, which they had learned, and were admitted. They took the women and children prisoners, killing all infant children. The fort was then fired, and the captives started on their long trek to Canada.
There is nothing left of old Fort Bridgman. At the spot where the capture took place (now Vernon, Vt.) is a large boulder, commemorating the capture, taken from the old How farm, erected by the town of Vernon and marked with a tablet by the Brattleboro Chapter of D. A. R.; the monument seems to be largely to the memory of Caleb How, as no mention is made of the other two families involved.
The Indians took their captives to Canada. Eunice (Cooley) Garfield seems to have been a woman of considerable personal beauty, as well as of fortitude and presence of mind. She adapted herself to the situation by a forced cheerfulness and because of her evident courage gained favor with the Indians, and was thus treated fairly well on the long march. For many days she kept a sharp lookout for aid, expecting to be rescued by her husband, of whose death she learned only on her return. With the other two women she took turns standing all night, to be ready for quick flight, but no help came.
After many days and nights of travel, footsore and weary, the captives finally reached a French settlement in Canada. Here the Indians sold them as slaves. Eunice was sold to a French family, of which she quickly became a beloved and trusted member, and was soon entrusted with the purchase of all household goods and supplies. Longing for her freedom, she told her story to one of the tradesmen whose friendship she had gained. He was a kindly man and offered to put $10 with every dollar she could save, to be repaid after she got home, so that she could purchase her liberty; this she eventually did. She was sent to France, and from there to England and thence to Boston. She probably reached Massachusetts some time in 1756. In 1758, she was paid a sum of money by New Hampshire to cover her last year in Canada.
On her return to Massachusetts, Eunice learned of her husband's death. Shortly thereafter she became the second wife of Ephraim Pratt, and she lived for nearly half a century in Hardwick (now Dana), where she was widely known and beloved as "Aunt Pratt." People came from a long distance to see the old lady, and to hear the story of her Indian adventures. She lived to be well past 90. The place of her burial is unknown. Old graves in Dana were dug up in the process of building a reservoir for Boston; no record has been found of the old gravestones. Her second husband, Ephraim Pratt, is buried in the Pratt graveyard near Shutesbury and Lock's Village, with his son and grandson. At the time of her death Eunice may easily have been living with one of her numerable descendants, and have been buried in the lot of one of the other members of her family.

Eunice married Benjamin Garfield on 2 Sep 1752 in Leicester, Worcester Co, Province of Massachusetts Bay. Benjamin was born on 6 May 1718 in Marlborough, Province of Massachusetts Bay; died on 5 Jun 1755 in Vernon, Province of Massachusetts Bay. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

DAR Patriot; Captain Vermont From DAR Lineage Book vol. 30 pp. 343-44 Mrs. Katherine Beach Gray (#29959) b. Pontiac MI; grandaughter of Noah Beach and Eunice Cooley; Gr. Grandaughter of Benjamin Cooley and Ruth Beach. Benjamin Cooley (1747-1810) commanded a company of Vermont militia, 1778. He responded to various alarms under Col. Ebenezer Allen and Col. Gideon Warren. He was born in Greenwich MA and died in Pittsford VT.
Greenwich was originally part of an area known as Narragansett Township Number Four and was settled by land grantees in the 1730s who had served England in the Indian Wars against the Narragansetts. The area became known as "Quabbin Parish" or "Quabbin Plantation" when the Rev. Pelatiah Webster was ordained in 1749. The towne of Greenwich was incorporated per Chapter 37 of the Massachusetts laws on April 20, 1754. It was located along the East and Middle branches of the Swift River.
Greenwich and three other towns were disincorporated on April 28, 1938 as part of the creation of the Quabbin Reservoir. Upon disincorporation, portions of the town were annexed to the adjacent towns of Hardwick, New Salem, Petersham, and Ware. It is now largely below water, except for the hilltops of Curtis Hill, Mount Liz, and Mount Pomeroy which are now islands.

Caleb Cooley, the youngest of the four brothers (who eventually lived in Pittsford) was at home with his father in Greenwich Mass when his brother, Capt. Benjamin5 Cooley of Pittsford, visited 1778. He urged his youngest brother to return to Pittsford with him. Their father, Benjamin4 Cooley Sr as a special inducement offered to give young Caleb one hundred acres of the wild lands in Pittsford town. Although Caleb spent considerable time in Pittsford, he did not make it his home until 1780, when he became a member of his brother Capt. Benjamin's family. He served under his brother from that time until the close of the Revolutionary War. On two such occasions, Caleb, a member of Capt. Benj. Cooley's Co., Col. Ebenezer Allen's Regt. of Militia was called out on an alarm commencing the 30th May 1780 and ending the 6th of June 1780 and, again, commencing the 12th day of October 1780 and ending the 18th of October 1780. 1/9/4.
