in the possession of David Warren Robison, May, 2002
When Robisons arrived in Green (now Greenland) Columbiana (now Mahoning) County, Ohio in 1826 they lived either on school lands or on lands owned by Jacob Cook.
When Joseph Robison and his children moved to Milton in 1831 or so Jacob and Elizabeth Cook and kids went along. The land was all in the name of William Robison - @ 180 acres. The tax assessor divided it for taxes (no deeds) and Jacob and Elizabeth Cook were on 61 acres of this land. Later part of this was deeded to them and the Cooks sold it in 1838 or 1839. Jacob and Elizabeth Cook probably went back to Green in 1839. They did not stay in Milton, nor did they move to Meigs county.
While in Milton there were two marriges between Robison and Cook. You have the 1834 marriage of Joseph Robison, Jr. and Nancy Cook. In 1832 William Robison went to Warren, Ohio and secured a marriage license for Jacob Cook (Jr.) and Mary Ann Robison. The marriage return o the license says they were married 26 Nov 1832 by John Flick, MG, Flick being a resident minister in Milton of the Christian (Cempbellite) Church.
In 1836 William Robison went to Warren and secured a marriage license for Werick Cook to marry Ann Cline of Milton. The application says both parties over 18. William Robison also filed the signed consent of Keturah Cook, as mother of Werick. The marriage occurred on 28 April 1836. Keturah signed the consent because Joel Cook, father of Werick, could not write.
In a letter to the newspaper in Pomeroy, Meigs County, Ohio, A D. Longsbreth (sp?) in 1898 or so wrote that "in 1839 two brothers by the name of Cook from Columbiana County, Ohio bought a farm near Dexter. Jacob was the older, Warrick was the younger. Their land was near Jacob's brother in law, William Robinson who had come from Columbiana County with the Cooks.

from Portrait and Biographical Album, 1890, author unknown, pp623-624. Dealing with Henry W. Gifford of Parma Township, Jackson County, Michigan:
HENRY W. GIFFORD. The Empire State has contributed a large number of first-class citizens to the settlement of this county, among whom may be mentioned him with whose name we introduce this sketch. A native of Washington County, N.Y., he was born August 8, 1819, and there spent the first fourteen years of his life. Then with his parents he removed to Montgomery County, where they resided three years. Their next removal was to Wayne County, and there Henry W. lived until nineteen years old. We next find him in Cayuga County, where he worked nearly three years on a farm.
In 1844, Mr. Gifford with his wife and one child came to Michigan, and he purchased forty acres of land on section 8, Parma Township, for which he paid $112.50. Upon this the little family took up their abode, occupying it until 1855, when Mr. Gifford sold out and purchased his present farm. This comprises one hundred and sixty acres of good land, and is located on section 7. When he took possession he settled practically in the woods, from which scarcely a stick of timber had been cut. Securing some lumber, he put up a rough board house, and moved into it with his family before it had either doors or windows. Their life thereafter was similar to the lives of other pioneers of this county, and which has been described so many times in this volume. They endured many hardships, but finally patience and perseverance brought their legitimate reward. In addition to the improvement and cultivation of this farm, Mr. Gifford interested himself in the general welfare of the community, and was soon recognized as a valuable citizen. He served as Justice of the Peace, was at one time Commissioner of Highways and also a member of the School Board of his district. Politically, he is a sound Republican, and has always given his encouragement and suppport to the enterprises calculated for the advancement of morality and education, and in his own life has furnished an example of the peaceable and law-abiding citizen well worthy of imitation.
Mr. Gifford contracted matrimonial ties, March 8, 1843, with Miss Annie H. Hoag, who, like himself, was a native of New York State, and born in Rensselaer County, February 2, 1820. The parents of Mrs. Gifford were Asa and Elizabeth (Norton) Hoag, likewise born in New York State, and whom it is believed were of English ancestry. This union resulted in the birth of six children, only two of whom are living - Calista E., the wife of W. E. Thornton, of Detroit, and Jessie, Mrs. Frank Feldaman, of Parma Township. They Hoag family for several generations have been Quakers in their religious belief.
The childhood and youth of Mrs. Gifford were passed in a comparatively uneventful manner under the parental roof, where she remained until her marriage. She has been in all respects the true and faithful helpmate of her husband, cheefully bearing with him the trials and hardships of pioneer life, and like him numbers her friends by the score in this county. Mr. Gifford in 1851 took a trip to California, crossing the plains overland with a team, which journey occupied about four months. He remained on the Pacific Slope until Demeber, 1853, occupying part of his time in the mines, and the balance in a sawmill. This experiment proved fairly successful, but he finally concluded that the Wolverine State was the most desirable for a place of residence, and returning to Parma Township, has since here contentedly remained.
The parents of our subject were Theron and Lydia (Withey) Gifford, who were natives of New York, and of English and Scotch ancestry respectively. Grandfather Withey served as a soldier in the War of 1812, and spent the closing years of his life in New York. The Giffords have been Quakers in religious belief as far back as our subject has any record. He was the eldest of five children, of whom the following survive: Henry; Mary, the wife of John Cornell (brother of the late Ezra Cornell, founder of Cornell University, N. Y.): Walter C., a resident of Newaygo County, this State; and Calista, Mrs. Elijah Vermylia, of Lapeer County.
From History of Jackson County. p 1013:
Henry W. Gifford, son of Theron C. and Lydia (Withey) Gifford, was born in the town of Cambridge, Washington Co., N. Y., Aug. 8, 1819. His father was of English and his mother of Scotch descent; both were natives of New York. His father's family had for many generation been a seafaring people; lived in Washington county until 14 years of age, when the family moved to Wayne county, N. Y.; in three years they removed to Summit, Cayuga Co., N. Y., where Henry worked for Captain Fellows for three years, then spent several years in his native town. In March, 1843, he married Annie E. Hoag, daughter of Asa Hoag of that place; was born in Rensselaer county, N. Y., Feb. 2, 1820. In 1844 Mr. Gifford came to this town, where he ws since lived. They have 2 children - Calista, now Mrs. Wm. E. Thornton, of Detroit, and Jessie L., now Mrs. Frank Teldmon, of Parma. Mr. S. came to this town at an early day, and has followed farming; he has succeeded in making a good home for himself and family.
