      First Wife – KAHNAPAWANAKAN
      1786-87



      William’s first wife was KAHNAPAWANAKAN, and their first child was Nancy, born around 1787. Many sources indicate that Nancy was born in 1786. However, if COOK arrived in the summer of 1786 and Nancy was his child, it is unlikely that she was born that same year. His second child was Jane (Jenny) born around 1788.
