Marimon Cook - was born November 12, 1761, in Cheshire, Conn. His family record traces back to his father, Elam, born 1733, grandfather Ephraim, born 1704, and the great-grandfather, Samuel Cook, who emigrated from England in 1600 - the exact time not given, probably about the close of the century. Following the English custom, a deed, dated April 7, 1785, conveys to Marimon the house of his father, Elam Cook, in Cheshire, who gives it for the 'Love, good-will affection to him, as descended from the estate of his honoured father, Capt. Ephraim Cook.' The money received from the sale of the homestead in the east was used for the purchase of the new home west - and the line of descent is continued to Mrs. Parmele, the 6th generation in a long lived race. The old deed is still in her possession.
"A soldier-boy in the Revolution, he served in cooking for the officers, and caring for the sick. Was on picket duty, and twenty-four hours without food. He was with Josiah Smith (the grandfather of Mrs. Governor Ford) at Horse Neck, and saw his head 'trepanned' after the fight. He drew a half pension. He was captain of militia, and commissioned by Oliver Walcott, the captain general of Connecticut, Mary 23, 1796.
"Lole Bradley, - sister of Gen. Roe Bradley, of Vermont, and Thadeus, became his wife, August 8, 1780. He is mentioned, by Luther Russell, as coming to Ohio in 1803 - probably looking out land. With John Ford, April 20, 1807, and their families, he left Cheshire, Connecticut, on the 44 day trip. In their team came a mare called 'Old Blue', famous for having made seven trips in all from the east, and to the east and return. Cook rode her out, and back to Connecticut in 1806. This mare lived to be 35, and died honored in age and memory.
"He had built a house on lot 36, where P. Parmlee now resides, the summer of 1806. This is probably the oldest house now occupied in town."
This house was moved to the grounds of the Geauga County Historical Society and is one of the 23 buildings comprising Century Village.
