Abel Cook

notes

From http://imnotabloggerdammit.blogspot.com/2011/02/on-bloody-ground.ht...

Twenty-one-year-old Abraham Covalt Jr. was the first to die at Indian hands. In late January of 1791, he and three others--his friend Abel Cook and Buckingham and Fletcher from Round Bottom--went hunting upriver toward Miamiville. Young Covalt and Fletcher became separated from the others and were ambushed. Shot through the chest, Covalt fell, urging Fletcher to "run for your life, for I am a dead man."
Within a month, Cook was killed similarly while journeying from Columbia to Covalt, and an unidentified settler and a soldier were killed near Round Bottom. Alarmed, the settlers petitioned General Josiah Harmar at Ft. Washington for help:
"We the inhabitance of Bethany Town and Else where do once more ettampt to solicite the Most Honorable General Harmer Commander in Chief in the Western territory to whome we your humble petetioners are in Duty Bound Shall Ever Pray That your Excellencey would take our situation into your most Serious Consideration and Send us some few Troopes and suffer us not to Brak up for we dont do our Selves a kindness by keeping our garesn but the Collumbia people and your Town also by our mill in supplying them in bread and if we move from hear our mill is useless Either to our Selves or to the Entirer Part of the inhabitans."

Cook had been killed only the day before.

Covalt Cemetery, Terrace Park, Hamilton County, Ohio May 3, 2001 Brad Buck (thebucks ... ) This was the original cemetery for Covalt Station also called Bethany Town, now known as Terrace Park, OH. No visible remains of the cemetery exist today, and it's original location can only be estimated. The cemetery was allegedly 60 feet below the fort and within 60 feet of the mill on the mill stream (now called Red Bird Creek) Years of earth moving, stream re-routing and canal digging have removed all traces of the cemetery and mill. A church sits on the site of the old fort. The Covalt settlement was begun in 1789. Those thought to be buried in the cemetery: Captain Abraham Covalt (1742- March,1791), veteran of French and Indian and Revolutionary Wars. Killed by Indians. Mrs. Covalt (died Oct 13, 1843, allegedly buried next to Captain Covalt) Abraham Covalt Jr. (III) (died January, 1791) Killed by Indians. Abel Cook (died February 27, 1791) Killed by Indians.
