Hi Delaine, My name is Donna Cook Freeman, born between Hon and Evening Shade in Scott County. My father Oliver Raymond Cook was born in Bates, to James S. Cook and Ada Nelson. James father, Charles C. Cook(e) is listed as being born in Stone County in 1851. Charles was married to Susan Stuart and had two sons, James and Oliver. Charles date of death is given as 22 January 1883. Susan Stuart married Lewis Walker after the death of Cook. They were around the community of Gibson for many years, James and Ada buying a home previously owned by Dr. Kline. James was a partner with A. Bethel in the General Store there. My brick wall is Charles C. Cook. I have not been able to find his trail or get past him. I would also be interested to know if any of the old landmarks are left there, if someone local could tell me. Thanks for any help, I am so anxious to find this family. Donna Cook Freeman
