Misc. Notes
listed in 1870 Mass. census as a stone cutter.
There is a Stillman R. Cook (43, MA) listed in the 1880 census for Wrentham, MA. He is living with his 87 yr old mother, Mohonda, working as a farm laborer. It is unclear if this is the same Stillman, but would possibly explain why he was not living with his wife (and her mother).
