!HISTORY: 1798. Pioneer and General History of Geauga County, with sketches of Some of the Pioneers and Prominent Men. 1880 (Evansville, IN: reprint with index, 1973), p. 532. "A little woman met him (John Ford) beside the well as a drawer of water. He went again and drank inspiration; still was subject to some spell which he could not break. Before the eyes of this girl of the valley, he was a captive. She bound him with chains - not grievous, but of a bondage that was sought. His trade, his axe and square, his plans and courage for the great world of work, were all before here. She said, 'John, I will go with you;' and she did, ever after a helpmeet, and her name was a household word for goodness and right, through all the generations of a new country. Easter Cook was this girl at the bucket and the well . . . She was a sister of Marimon Cook."
