The following "Brief History of the Melburn
Cookman Family" is not intended to be complete. Neither is it guaranteed
to be accurate--since so much of it has been written from notes and memory.
Much of this material is from notes taken
on June 28, 1969--15 pages in all--during an all day session with my uncle
Claget Cookman. During this session he related events, names, and
dates. All I did was to put it together in order that it not be lost
in the cobwebs of time.
Thanks to all who supplied names, dates, and
information.
My special thanks to my daughter, Shirley
Cheuvront Ericson, for her help in sorting, cutting, and editing the "mass"
into something readable.

[Editor's note: J. Howard's text begins with
Parker B. Cookman in 1823. I have added earlier information gathered
with the help of many, many genealogy friends who are also researching
Cookman and Cheuvront surnames, and my additions appear as highlighted
text.]
