Am wondering if anyone has information on Stephen. I found his wife & children living with my 3rd g-grandfather, Elijah Cook, in Davenport and she is listed as sister to Elijah.
1855 Davenport, Dwelling 264: Stephen Utter, Eunice Utter, Ellen Utter, and Edmond Utter. Have to re-order the film; this information is from an index. (Ellen is probably Ellen Joanna)
1860 Davenport, Delaware Co., NY; Dwelling 1156:
Samuel Cook 45y
Thena " 40y
Jennie " 18y
Orline " 14y
Sally " 75y <probably Sarah Utter, mother to Samuel who m. John Cook.
Electa Olmsted 29y
Eunice Utter 30y
Joanna Utter 6y
Edmund Utter 5y
Sarah Utter 3y
*all listed a b.NY
In 1865 Davenport, District 1 Dwelling 77 pg.11; Lines 5-8:
Elijah Cook 53y b.Delaware Co., m.1x, single/D
U. Emma Utter 35y b.Delaware Co., m.1x, single/D, mother of 3, sister to Elijah.
Edmund Utter 10y b.Delaware Co., nephew to Elijah
Sarah Utter 8y b.Delaware Co., niece to Elijah
*instead of the "single" column being checked, it appears the letter "D" was put in place; it appears the only location in which someone can specify "divorced."
Dwelling 80 is the hh of Jesse Utter 43y b.Delaware Co., NY & family.
Dwelling 96 has Jacob H. Cook & family.
This above 1865 Jesse Utter was 43y b.Delaware Co. m.1x, wife Nancy, mother of 8 m.1x; Children: James 18y b.Chenango Co., Danny 16y, Josephine 12y, Byron 11y, Eugene 9y, Cora 6y. All others listed as b. in Delaware Co-- Wonder if this is a brother to her ex-husband.
Something odd that I did find which might or might not be related, was in the Will Abstracts for Delaware Co.:
Samuel Wilcox of Harpersfield
Will Dated Dec 3 1867
Probated Oct 7 1872
Wife: Laura
Sons: Homer A., and Andrew L.
Daus.: Helen E. Wilcox, Emma E. Utter, Laura A. wife of James White Jr., Frances A. wife of Edgar S. Curtis.
Exec.: Andrew L. Wilcox
Wit.: Francis R. Gilbert & Isaac H. Maynard both of Stamford.
Since I am finding U.Emma, Eunice, Emma,.. thinking it's possible that Emma was not actually a sister to Elijah Cook - instead - a sister-in-law,... that perhaps Elijah's wife, Harriet was a Wilcox. But then the question of why Harriet (even if deceased) was not mentioned in the will unless she too interchanged her 1st & 2nd given names (if still alive at that time), and since grandchildren were not in the will, expect there would be no reason to list a deceased daughter (if she passed over). I don't know, maybe they are not the same Emma Utters.
Any information/insight would be appreciated.
