Hi Wanda, thanks so much for your note!@ I spoke with my Dad tonight and he said that your Cecil is probably from a branch connected to our Cooks --but through my g-grandfather, John Willie Cook. Apparently, several of the Georgia Cooks -which my branch originates, came to Marion County after the war (the "War of Northern Agression"). They seems to have moved back and forth between Marion and Randolph counties. Marvin Cook --a great uncle to me, did have a son named Cecil. Probably not the one you are looking for. All of these Cooks come from John Drury Cook --just Google him up-- and John Drury Cook originates from William Cooke who landed here in Jamestown, VA in 1635. I have some notes on this family somewhere. blessings! -Bob Wanda Sawtelle <wm343@bellsouth.net> wrote: Hello I would be interested in any information regarding the Cook family of Marion County. Fred Cook who lived in Marion County came to Walker County to work in Empire Mines but returned to farm in Marion County. Wo was Fred's father? He had 2 sons Willie Cook m. Lamora Williams, and Garve who never married and is buried in Guin City Cemetery. Willie and Lamora moved to central FL where they passed away during the 1990s. Willie and Garve had a first cousin, Cecil Cook (wife, Madelle) who lived in Jasper, Walker Co. Who was Cecil's father? Any help will be appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara Mitchell" To: "ALMARION" Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 8:01 AM Subject: [ALMARION] Fw: know any Cook's? > Robert, I hope you don't mind if I share this with the group.
