About Charity Cook
Charity Wright Cook (1745-1842) was a minister of the Friends Society. She traveled to England, Ireland and the Continent to preach.
- Extracted from the “Charleston Courier of 1807”: “A Quaker Woman’s Sermon” “Dear Friends: There are three things I very much wonder. The first is that children should be so foolish as to throw up stones, brickbats and clubs into fruit trees to knock down the fruit; if they would only let one another alone, it would fall itself. “The second is that men should be so foolish and even wicked as to go to war and kill one another; if they would only let one another alone, they die of themselves. And the third and last thing, which I wonder at most of all, is that young men should be so unwise as to go after the young women, if they would only stay at home, the young women would come after them”. From Carnival of Genealogy - 68th Edition, "A Tribute to Women"
Charity Wright, born 29 Sep 1745 in Prince Georges County, MD; died 13 Nov 1822 in Caesars Creek, Clinton County, OH; married Isaac Cook Abt. 1762 in Bush River, Newberry County, SC; (born 1743 in Chester County, PA; died 13 Nov 1820 in Silver Creek MM, Union County, IN.)
Notes for Charity Wright:
- I have used the birth date for Charity from her biography, CHARITY WRIGHT COOK, A LIBERATED WOMEN. Hinshaw gives the birth date of 11-13-1742, a day after her sister Margarets. This has been decided to be in error by her biographer. She was disowned by the Cane Creek MM, NC on 1761,2,7 for engaging in carnal behavior. She was reinstated into the Quaker church as an adult (after the boy that had accused her starting accusing many women and was basically caught lying). She became a well-loved Quaker minister who traveled much of each year in the colonies and in Europe during Revolution in both, to serve the Quakers. She seemed to stay home long enough to have each child, and then travel on while her husband cared for the family. From http://www.ancestrees.com/pedigree/567.htm

Alternate Dates 1: 02 Nov 1746, May be date of birth Alternate Dates 2: 02 Dec 1745, may be date of birth Burial: 1822, Ceasars Creek, Clinton County, OH
Daughter of John and Rachel (Wells) Wright. Wife of Isaac Cook.
Taken from David Mills research:
Isaac & Charity Wright Cook, are both recorded as, died and buried in Caesars Creek OH and in Silver Creek IN. Hinshaw reports what looks like confusion between two different couples. However, that is just what is reported in both Monthly Meetings minutes. There is even further references (like their Children's names) that further confirm that the same Isaac and Charity lived, died & were buried in both places at the same time.
