  • Notes 
    • According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
      Amy Cook, formerly Winders, was disowned 24 January 1824 for marrying contrary to discipline by the Fairfield Monthly Meeting of Friends, in Ohio. The IGI of April 1988 lists a marriage on 16 December 1823 of Amey Winder and James Cook in Ross County, Ohio. The Elkhart County Atlas, published in 1874, gives the date of this marriage as 16 Dec 1822. The same publication states that James Cook moved to Goshen, Indiana in September of 1832. Amy Winder Cook died 20 July 1840, in Goshen, Indiana. In 1835 James Cook had opened a "commodious hotel opposite the Court House Square on the site of the Julian House" [in Goshen, Indiana]. His business prospered. The Elkhart County Atlas states that "the management of the inn was, however, left mainly to the landlady", as he ran the store which was adjacent to the inn.
