==================================
Thanks to Arlene for these censuses lookups.
Alfred Seymour Cook was born 1832 in Oneida Co., NY. He died April 8, 1889 in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., NY.

======
1861-63 (somewhere in that Civil War time frame); enlisted Jan 4, 1862 in U.S. Infantry, Co. B., 2nd Battallion, 12th Regt., served in New York Harbor; discharged Aug, 18, 1862; he gave his name as "Alfred Seymour" (not Alfred Seymour Cook). Makes me wonder if he used the name "Alfred Seymour" at any other time in his life--maybe that's why I can't find him.
