With his sons he went from Old Stockbridge, Massachusetts, to the Genessee country, as it was then called. In the spring of 1788 his sons, Jared and Hezekiah Jr., com- menced explorations in western New York. Phelps and Gorham com- pleted their treaty with the Indians in July that year, and in the fall Enos Boughton, another son, went to Canandaigua with William Walker, the surveyor for Phelps and Gorham. and they erected a store house and other buildings, these being the first erected in the town. He ob- tained the tract which is now the township of Victor, Ontario county. The following spring other members of the family came to the purchase,


358

bringing with them hired hands, and the township was surveyed and prepared for sale. The father reserved somewhat more than a quarter of the tract, including Boughton Hill. An Indian village and a mis- sion had previously been on this site, and the land was thus in a state to be readily cultivated. Other members of the family came to the set- tlement in the winter, having taken advantage of the sleighing, but, as the winter was an open one, the ice was so softened that as they crossed Cayuga lake the tracks of the sleighs filled with water behind them. The wife of Jared was the first white woman to come into the settle- ment, and for three months was the only one, their second child being the first white child born there. Gradually almost all of the Boughton family had assembled there, Hezekiah giving each of his children lib- erally of the land he had purchased. He also donated land on Boughton Hill for a cemetery, another plot for a public square, on which a school house was built, and laid out a broad highway from the Hill to the Bloomfield line. Various cousins of Hezekiah also purchased land in this section, and the settlement became an important one.

Children : Hezekiah, married Huldah Willson, who married ( second) Dr. Reuben Hart, member of the as- sembly and for many years surrogate of Ontario county ; Enos, mar- ried Clarissa Jones; Abigail, married Nicholas Smith; Sally, married Joshua Ketchum; Selleck; Jared, see forward; Seymour, married Cla- rissa Dewey, was killed by the Indians at the burning of Buffalo; Theo- dosia, married Daniel Sawyer.

COOK.


Dr. Robert George Cook, who has devoted his life to the noble profession of medicine, is now crowned with some of its choicest re- wards. He has followed with inflexible and unfaltering courage and ardent and unremitting toil in the pathway trodden with such eminent success by his famous father.


Dr. George Cook was born in Cayuga, New York, November 20, 1824, and died June 12, 1876. In 1847 he entered the service of the Utica State Hospital, then under the supervision of Dr. Brigham, and was actively engaged there in the discharge of his medical duties for a period of six years. His next step was a sojourn for one year in England, Scotland and France, where he made a thorough study of the methods in vogue in public and private insane asylums. Upon his re- turn to this country in the fall of 1854, Dr. Cook was again connected with the Utica State Hospital. During the summer of the following year, Dr. Cook, together with his brother Robert, made a tour of several villages in western New York in order to select a suitable site for the location of a hospital in which proper care and treatment could be given to the insane of the private class. At that time there had never been adequate legal measures taken to provide for the care of the insane, and a measure to this effect was drawn by the Hon. John C. Spencer, at one time a resident of Canandaigua. This measure became the basis of later lunacy legislation in the state. After conferences with the board of managers of the State Lunatic Asylum and their legal advisers, Dr. Cook, Robert D. Cook and William G. Wayne purchased the site on which the administration building now stands, and thus founded what is now the famous and widely known Brigham Hall, the first patient being received October 3, 1855, a fact which distinctly proves the ra- pidity and energy with which the plan was put into execution. From October, 1855, until May, 1860, the medical service and administra- tion was entirely performed by Dr. Cook. These duties were shared with Dr. Chapin until October, 1869, when the latter took charge of the Willard Asylum, and from that time until his death in 1876 Dr. Cook was again in sole charge of this institution. Dr. Cook was elected presi- dent of the village board of trustees in 1860, and it was owing to his vig- orous measures that a number of laws were enforced that tended greatly to the improvement of the village conditions. He served as supervisor of the county, was a member of the state legislature, and president of the First National Bank. In all these varied offices his intelligence and


360


ONTARIO COUNTY.


executive ability were the means of furthering the objects for which he had interested himself.


Dr. Cook married Caroline Bull, who was a noble and fitting help- meet for him. During the civil war the news was received of the death of a private soldier who had been a resident of the village, and Mrs. Cook, in discussing this incident, said that a duty had been laid upon the women of Canandaigua to see that fitting provision was made for the widows and orphans of the soldiers and sailors who lost their lives in the sad struggle. As a result of her efforts in this direction an organiza- tion was formed, the Greenleaf property secured, and an institution for this purpose stands at the present day at the head of Main street.


Dr. Robert George Cook, son of Dr. George and Caroline (Bull) Cook, was born in Canandaigua, Ontario county, New York, August 4, 1864. His preparatory education was acquired in the Canandaigua Academy, and in the Adams Academy, Quincy, Massachusetts. He then matriculated at Harvard University, from which he was graduated in 1886 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and took up his studies in the Medical School of Columbia University, from which he was grad- uated in 1889 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. His medical career up to the present time ( 1911) is as follows: Interne at Roose- velt Hospital, New York City, 1889-90; assistant physician at St. Law- rence State Hospital, Ogdensburg, New York, 1891-95 ; general prac- tice in Rochester, New York, 1895-1908; neurologist at St. Mary's Hospital, Rochester; consulting neurologist at Rochester State Hospi- tal; neurologist for the out-patient department of the Rochester City Hospital ; May 1, 1908, appointed resident physician at Brigham Hall, an office he is filling at the present time. His political affiliations are with the Republican party, and he and his family are members of the Congre- gational church. He is a member of the following organizations : American Medical Association; American Medico-Psychological Asso- ciation; Medical Society, State of New York; Rochester Academy of Medicine; Rochester Pathological Society ; Hospital Medical Society of Rochester; Roosevelt Hospital Alumni Association; Society of Physi- cians of Canandaigua ; University Club of Rochester.


Dr. Cook was married in Rochester, 1892, to Mary Belle, who was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts, daughter of Rev. Augustus H. Strong, a Baptist minister, who has for many years been president of the Rochester Theological Seminary. Children: Robert Strong, born Feb- ruary II, 1895 : Alan Augustus, August 17, 1896; George Elmendorf, March 10, 1898.

CARSON.


Dr. James Carlton Carson, who stands in the front rank as a lecturer upon and specialist in mental diseases, traces his ancestry to France. Family tradition states that both the Carson and Rippey ancestors were of French Huguenot origin and emigrated to Scotland during the perse- cutions after the Massacre of St. Bartholomew, or, more probably, after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. From Scotland they migrated to the north of Ireland, and it is a fact that both families were Scotch-Irish.

His occupations were varied, being those of farmer, miller and manufacturer. He gave his political support to the Democratic party, and was a member of the Pres- byterian church. He married, January 2, 1834, Rebecca Rippey, who was born September 6, 1808, and died April 5, 1875. Children: I. Matthew Rippey, born May 25, 1836; is a physician, practicing in Canandaigua, Ontario county, New York; married Elizabeth Ostrom, of Carlton, Saratoga county, New York. 2.

Rebecca (Rippey) Carson was the granddaughter of Captain John Rippey, who was born in 1749 and died March 11, 1826. During the revolutionary war he was commissioned, April 5, 1778, captain of the Sixth Company, Eighth Battalion, Pennsylvania militia, Colonel Slagle's regiment. He married, 1776, Mary Orson.

He married Eleanor Grove, who was born January 12, 1783, and died January 9, 1849. Children: Mary, Margaret, Re- becca, mentioned above, John, William, Thomas Grove, Susan A. and Matthew Wilson.


(III) Dr. James Carlton Carson, youngest child of Robert (2) and Rebecca (Rippey) Carson, was born in Seneca, Ontario county, New York, January 23, 1847. His preparatory education was received in the public schools and the Canandaigua Academy, and he then became a student at the University of Michigan. Subsequently he studied at the Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York City, from which he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Prior to taking up his medical studies he had assisted for a time in the cultivation of the homestead farm. In 1870 he served as assistant physician in Brigham Hall, Canandaigua, New York; was second assistant physician in the Willard State Hospital, 1870-73 ; first assistant physician in the Willard State Hospital, 1873-83; superintendent of the New York Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, 1883-84; superintendent of the Syracuse State Insti- tution for Feeble-Minded Children, 1884. to the present time ( 191I).
