Seeking information on the parents of Joseph Cook,b. ca. 1763, probably N.C. married Elizabeth Locke,18 Jan 1797, Cabarrus Co., NC. Had at least 2 known children, Thomas Cook, b. 1800 Maury Co.

Thanks for any input, David

Seeking the recent posts on NC COOKS, reminded me that I need to re-post my COOKs (actually only one Cook so far!). I'm searching for my ggrandmother's family. Her name was Sarah Matilda COOK; she was known as "Tilda". According to census records, she was born in Georgia; her father was born in NC and her mother in SC (names are unknown). She married S. R. ("Pete") BROOM about 1872 in Chattooga Co., GA. When my grandmother was born, the family was living in Walker Co., GA (about 1885). Pete and Tilda's children were: Wm. A., Henry T., Joseph M., Alma, and Warren Frank BROOM. Tilda died in 1928 in Floyd County, Georgia and is buried at Floyd Springs Bapt. Church cemetery. It's rumored there may have been some native American ancestry in this line. Any help with this line of COOKs would be greatly appreciated! Linda ([email protected])

If you are doing family research on any of my list, contact me and I will share with you any information that I have. My GGGrandpa, Nathan Cook, was born somewhere in NC in 1790 and died in Parrott (Terrell County) GA in 1884. His wife, my GGGrandma, Alletha Cook, was born in NC in 1796 and died in Parrot (Terrell County) GA. I do not know where they are buried.

In Alabama John Thomas Cook and Alice Udora Cook lived in Winston County and in the towns of Houston and Arley. Richard J.

Some time in the past couple of weeks I remember seeing an inquiry about Cook's in Montana. Today my husband's cousin was at our house and mentioned that his father had spent some time in Montana with a family member. (I also put out an inquiry from my other web address about his father's family) If you are the person who made the Montana inquiry, please send me an e-mail at either [email protected] or [email protected] so that I can forward that information along. Thanks! ;- ) Elizabeth Bogue "The grass witherth, the flower fadeth but the word of the Lord endureth forever" - Isaiah -

Sorry to bother everyone again but I thought I would clear somethings up. 1. Sorry about address the previous letter from the List Owner. Ellie is still the list owner for Cook-L, but it was easier for me to send out one letter to all 5 list at once and I forgot to send Cook from Co-List owner. Sorry for the misunderstandings. 2. Yes I got married!!! On June 16 I married Ricky D. Martin (no not the famous one but the original one). Now not only am I Mom to Jessica 19 and Timothy 16 but Step Mom to Jessica 22 and Deana 18. Also Jessica 22 is mommy to Jazmine born March 7 2001 so I'm a StepGrandmom too. Ok that should clear everything up sorry for the confusion.

Please everyone if you do not have a Virus Protection program, then Get one NOW please. The amount of Virus going around are higher then I've seen in a long time. Also the Viruses are getting smarter I've watched while my husband (computer tech) clean 4 computers in the last couple of weeks with viruses, the viruses in 2 rewrote things in the bio's making it harder to clean one he had to wipe the whole hard drive clean, one more had a Trojan that rewrote itself everytime it was booted. So the average person will not be able to rid their computer of the viruses and will have to take it to a professional to clean it. The best thing to do is don't open any attachments and invest in a Virus program it's well worth the money and keep it active at all times.

--=======205A2EA1======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-41787AA1; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed My great-great-grandfather was Richard COOK. He was baptized in August 1825 in Sambro (suburb of Halifax Nova Scotia). The baptism records state that Richard was the "son of the late Joseph COOK of Yarmouth and Mary now RING". Mary, mother of Richard, was apparently the Mary SMITH that married William RING in 1821 at the Brunswick Street Methodist Church in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Can any one identify the Joseph COOK mentioned above (i.e. the father of Richard). Is that Joseph the Joseph COOK born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia in 1790 that is a descendant of Francis COOK of the Mayflower? Thanks for any help in finding my Joseph COOK.

Sorry, Jarrett Walthall Cook was included in the list of Benjamin Cook's children in error. He was not a child of Benjamin Cook.

I'm looking for information on the following marriage: Joseph Cornelius Cook (s/o Washington Taylor Cook and Nancy Ellen Davenport) b. 9/15/1874 in Green Co.,KY, and d. 9/1942 in Kansas City, Jackson Co., MO married 1/20/1901 in Green Co., KY to... Pearl Jones (d/o John Paul Jones of Adair Co., and ?? unknown spouse??) b. 8/8/1877 in Adair Co., KY and d. 12/27/1953 in Los Angeles Co., CA, buried in Jackson Co., MO They had 3 known children: Jack J.

Can anyone tell me about Pearl Jones' ancestry ... who/when/where about her parents? Did Joseph Cornelius and Pearl (Jones) Cook have other children? When/where? How did Pearl end up in California by the time of her death? Thanks in advance for any assistance! Be well & God bless, Kate Beaugrand Cook Minnesota [email protected] or [email protected]

I'm not convinced (for lack of documentation) that Jarrett W. Cook was the son of this couple. Jarrett W. Cook was MOST LIKELY the son of John Cook and Elizabeth (Walthall) Cousins (m. 1777-8 in Lunenburg Co., VA, per Lunenburg Co. marriage records) ... and the "Jarrett W." was for Jarrett Walthall Cook who is listed in the will of his grandfather, Garrard (AKA Jarrett) Walthall, father of Elizabeth (per Walthall Family genealogy book by M. E. Walthall, 1963). Jarrett W(althall) Cook married Elizabeth Carter (d/o Richard and Frances (??) Carter) in 1/1800 in Halifax Co., VA (per Halifax Co., VA marriage records), where this Cook family had moved. There are land records in Lunenburg and Halifax Co., VA to show property exchange with the Peter Cousin family (who were 1/2 siblings with Jarrett Walthall Cook). Jarrett Walthall & Elizabeth (Carter) Cook moved with most of their family to Green Co., KY early in 1800s ... perhaps as early as 1805, but for sure by 1830s.... They had 2 married daughters (Ann & Julia) who stayed in VA with their husbands, while the remainder moved (gradually) to Green Co., KY. The Green Co. court records give extensive proof of their presence in the county and also where they came from in VA. I have never seen a document actually relating Benjamin Cook to Jarrett W. Cook. The Green Co., KY records that I've found do not show proof that Jarrett W.'s father was Benjamin Cook. I'm pretty sure they were related, but I've seen No Documentation to prove that they're father and son. If anyone has hard-copy information about them being father/son, boy! I'd sure love to see it! I've been working on this family daily for well over a year :O)! Thanks in advance for any assistance.

This Benjamin Cook was the son of William Cook and Keziah Burch, both of Hanover/Louisa Counties, who had lived in Charlotte County prior to moving to Surry County, North Carolina. Benjamin was probably their eldest child. He married Catherine Brewer, daughter of Sackville Brewer by bond dated 24 December 1779 in Charlotte County. After Benjamin's death, the widow moved to Green County, Kentucky. In 1839 Catherine Cook of Green County applied for a widow's pension for Benjamin's Revolutionary service in Georgia and Virginia.
