Among the earliest pioneers in the present town of Pompey was the Cook family, whose descendants have been prominently identified for nearly a century with the
social and commercial life of not only that but other localities in Onondaga county. Their lineage is traced to Samuel Cook, of London, England, whose son, Russell, settled in New Canaan, Conn., about 1759. William Cook, son of Russell, was born there in 1761, and about 1780 married, first, Hannah Pond, by whom he had five children. With his family and Ozias Burr he moved from Lebanon, Columbia county, N. Y., and settled in Pompej' Hollow on November 10, 1792. He purchased of Mr. Burr 100 acres of land, upon which he built a house on the west side of the Hollow, and one-half mile south of the road leading from Pompey Hill to Cazenovia, and there he subsequently erected a brick dwelling, popularly known as the " Pride of the Valley." Broad minded, enterprising, and well educated, he was actively interested in founding Pompey Academy in 1811, for the building of which he furnished the brick and lumber. He was one of the original twenty-four trustees, the third man to contribute $100 for its endowment fund, Mr. Burr being the fourth, and one of the petitioners for incorporation under the Regents February 11, 1811. In April, 1796, he was chosen town assessor and in 1813 elected supervisor of Pompey. William Cook became prominent in military affairs. At the age of sixteen he had enlisted as a corporal in the Revolutionary war and served on the staffs of Washington and La Fayette. January 24, 1801, he was commissioned, " for patriotism, conduct, loyalty, and valor," captain in a regiment of Onondaga militia whereof Jeremiah Gould was lieutenant-colonel. This commission was signed by Daniel Hale, secretary; attested by Comfort Tyler, clerk; and dated May 2, 1801; and was also signed by John Jay, governor of New York.
