Notes


One of several sons of William Cook of Thockrington, who purchased Gallowhill (of Bolam parish in Northumberland) in 1753. Dr Charles Keith refers to him as an old patient of Cullenâ€™s and calls him â€œthat unaccountable Oddityâ€. He seems to have been a miser, given to excessive drinking. He died 27 August 1787, about a year after his brother Michael. He bequeathed his property to his sister Dorothy's daughter, Anne Bell, nÃ©e Hepple. Cullen also treated his sister Elizabeth and another brother. For further information regarding the family see John C. Hodgson, John C. Ed., Six North Country Diaries, p. 294, and John Hodgson, History of Northumberland, part 2, vol. 2, p. 292.
