Is there a Confederate Civil War buff who knows of Joseph or Alexander or Abraham Cook with "Morgan's Raidiers?" Reference: "Old Kentucky" by Dr. J. F. Cook, 1908, p. 163. "Another man that I admired greatly was General John Morgan. I knew him before the war, and my only two living brothers were with him, when not on detached duty, in many of his most important raids." Dr. Joshua Flood Cook (1834-1912) had three brothers, Joseph, Alexander and Abraham Cook. We do not know which two were living during the Civil War period 1861-1865. They were from Shelby Co., KY. �At the beginning of the Civil War, Joshua joined the Confederate cause and assumed a chaplaincy at Summit, Mississippi." (Hannibal-LaGrange College History by J. Hurley and Roberta Wasgood, 1995, p.130). Confederate General John Hunt Morgan was Brigade Commander for 2d Kentucky Cavalry C.S.A. known as "Morgan's Raiders." After he became Brigadier General, there were other calvary units under his command for the daring raids and guerrilla style warfare. Morgan and his calvarymen were known for their ability to capture Union soldiers, divert Union troops, take horses, destroy bridges, and disrupt railroads. General John Hunt Morgan was celebrated as a Legend in Gray. Chas. L. Cook Cookstuff@aol.com

Sharon recently= posted (KOCH 1700's Immigrants) several excellent pages calling attentio= n to her recognition that many of our early German ancestors, arriving ov= er a period of years, were related to each other. Brothers followed broth= ers and parents followed children. For some time I have believed that man= y Cooks were KOCHS and didn't know it. I have found it true in my own fam= ily. Some of us are fortunate to have been told of our Pennsylvania Dutch= ancestry and to have been taught that the spelling of our name has been = changed. = HISTORY - Let us begin in the late 1600's. The German Protestants, perse= cuted in their homeland, began leaving for America. They quickly learned = to avoid New York, where the first ones had bad experience. The word went= back "Go to Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania you will be received fairly". = For 60 or 70 years, almost all Germans came to Pennsylvania Colony. Howev= er, from the English perspective, these were strange people, wearing stra= nge clothing, speaking a strange language, with strange customs. So the E= nglish officials carefully took the names of the heads of families and th= en encouraged them to settle out on the edge of civilization where they w= ould make an excellent buffer between the more civilized citizens and the= Indians. And they did. And it also placed them where they had a head sta= rt on moving to more land than anyone had yet ever dreamed about. From ge= neration to generation they would move. Their presence defined the fronti= er. Another group of people would soon join them, the Protestant Scots fr= om North Ireland, calling themselves Scotch-Irish. They were English-spea= king but were not very fond of England. When the time for revolution arri= ved both groups would become excellent rebels. GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY - Get out your atlas and look at a relief map of t= he United States. This is the map that shows only mountains and flat land= s and rivers and streams. Look at that big mountain chain running all of = the way down the eastern side of the United States, the Appalachians. Rem= ember, it was a wilderness. There was NO road leading west, just row afte= r row after row of mountains. The mountains ran north and south. Therefor= e, if you traveled south you could walk between the mountains, in the val= leys where there was water in the streams for you and your horse. Don't t= hink about wagons yet. It requires a road for a wheeled vehicle and that = would have to come later. At this point, we might as well mention Indians= =2E Up in what is now southwestern Pennsylvania and for all of the length= of the Ohio River there were the Shawnees along with several other tribe= s. The Shawnees were at war with the whites almost constantly for sixty o= r seventy years. Their effective resistance to white expansion is an almo= st forgotten story of early America, probably because of the small amount= of printed news in those days and because it took place on the frontier = where the settlers were, not in the cities where the newspapers were. The= later stories of Sitting Bull and Gerinimo got a lot more ink because th= ey came after the invention of the telegraph and the steamboat and the ra= ilroad train and the building of countless miles of road. The Shawnee hel= d back the white man for decades. The mountains and the Shawnee discourag= ed most from going west. However there was one ready-made trail in exista= nce. It was the trail leading down through the mountain valleys called b= y the Indians the Buffalo Trail. War parties had used it for generations.= Now the Germans used it, some pausing in what we now call Cumberland, Fr= anklin and Adams Counties in Pennsylvania, then crossing Maryland Colony = and into Virginia Colony where they discovered the Shenandoah Valley and= there they settled down and began to prosper. = And this was where the young George Washington would find them when he w= as sent out by his older half-brother, Lawrence, Lord Fairfax and the go= vernor of the Virginia Colony to survey and find out what was in this par= t of their colony which they had never yet explored. The Virginia Englis= h established government, however they couldn't spell in German which pro= bably wasn't as important as it might seem because many of the Germans pr= obably couldn't spell in German either. What is important is the number o= f land records and probate records and court records that still exist s= howing the names Koch and Cook and other records showing Cook with the re= corder's notation saying "signed in the German language" meaning Koch. Al= so, there are the church records which were kept by educated clergy who c= ould write German very well. Many of these records still exist. The Germa= ns were very practical, resilient and flexible people who would avoid con= fusing an English official by agreeing that the name was Cook. The import= ant thing was to not jeopardise a land title or the recording of an estat= e. In church the name was usually Koch but,even there, it could be Cook. = Other matters required flexibility. Many of those Protestant German boys= and girls and a big bunch of those Protestant Scotch-Irish boys and girl= s were making goo-goo eyes at each other and many Germans were speaking E= nglish as well as German. Also, it had become apparent that officials wer= e not confused when you signed your name as Cook but that they frequently= were when you signed as Koch. Where is this tale leading? Well, that Buffalo Trail led right down to N= orth Carolina and North Carolina is bordered on the south by South Caroli= na and both of these locations were starting points for moving across the= Old South. It also led to Tennessee which would supply many early settle= rs for the Republic of Texas. However, if you went down the Great Valley = and then turned through the Cumberland Gap, the only pass through those t= errible mountains, there was the one-horse-wide Wilderness Trail and you = were in what would become Kentucky. Remember, all of these earliest ances= tors made this rugged trip on Shank's Mare (walking). A few rode horses b= ut for most, the horses had to be used to carry supplies. = If you have traced your Cook ancestors back to one of these states and i= f you know that they arrived by boat in Maryland, Virginia or either of t= he Carolinas then they were probably English. If you have traced your Coo= k ancestors back to one of these states in the early 1800's and at that p= oint you don't know where to look next, pause and think about the possibi= lities. They might have been German and the spelling of their name may ha= ve been changed from Koch to Cook. A German Cook family certainly did not= just pop up in North Carolina, over-night, like a mushroom. It came from= somewhere. And there is one likely place of origin, Pennsylvania. Look back north u= p that Buffalo Trail through the Great Valley of the Appalachians to the = Shenando and the Blue Ridge of Old Virginia. It will require some time to= investigate the Cooks and Kochs in Shenandoah County and maybe to figure= out who was Koch today and Cook tomorrow. And then search on further up = the Great Valley to the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania and don't ign= ore what is now the Pittsburgh area (and surrounding counties), for many = Germans came up from the Shenando and settled there while it was still Vi= rginia Colony (George Washington had two horses shot from under him up th= ere while fighting the French and Indians and he was a Virginian). All of= this takes time and effort but it also took a lot of effort and perhaps = a couple of generations for those German Kochs to make that trip from Pe= nnsylvania down to the Carolinas or Tennessee and to get that name change= d from Koch to Cook. If you are lucky, maybe you will find the spirit of = a Koch ancestor up there saying "Welcome to where your American roots be= gan, but why did it take you so long to learn to spell your name correctl= y?" Incidently, I live in Texas, transplanted from Indiana, and in the early= 1770's, George Cook, my German, Indian trader, third great grandfather b= ought Olithi, who became my third great grandmother. She was one of those= Shawnees who held back Daniel Boone and all of those other whites for so= many decades so if your name is Cook and if you have an old story in you= r family background about an Indian ancestor from way back there, get in = touch with me. You and I just might be cousins. Jesse W. Cook = = = --------------60326AC5F97E74D41CFFB68A--

They are NOT necessarily the same family. Cook referred to a person that prepared food. Gradually, as surnames became common, the occupational name became a surname. It probably tarted out something along the lines of "Oh, there goes John the Cook", and then became "Oh, there goes John Cook". Koch comes from germanic language countries (not JUST from Germany). The pronounciation is similar to Cook. Some Koch's changed their name to Cook, after coming to America. But, the two families are not related at all, unless there was an intermarriage. The ancestral lineages are totally different. Lynton (Bill) Stewart lcstewart@juno.com or lstewart@pacbell.net Searching: Brown(e), Burrows, Cook(e), Johnston, Stewart.

We have been busy, the 1820 Tennessee Census for the Cook Families along with the 1790, 1800, 1810 KY census information is available. We are still missing lots of years and locations but hope you can find an ancestor or two. I still have a GREAT deal of information to add to the pages - list members here are very very generous. Our census pages can be accessed via: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/4375/cookcens.html also, many new pages have been added over the past couple of weeks. some are: updates to the cemetery pages, military information, widow's pension applications - we apprecaite all the contributions and hope you'll continue to help Carla dixon@primenet.com and myself build a useful resource center for Cook Researchers! thanks, Pat

Hello, I am very curious about the origin of our surname, and how COOK and KOCH are considered to be of the same family. Has anyone read any history of the name itself, and would like to comment on this? Mark A. Cook cookm@psph.providence.org

Hi: There were a large number of Cook's in the Temperance movement in Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. My particular branch, from the Lime Springs, Howard Co., Iowa area, had 11 families involved, along with all their children (well over 100 children), by 1800. Seven sons of Joseph Cook, of Lime Springs, became preachers. They all did circuits of MN and WI, preaching against alcohol and tobacco. Several stayed in the general area, and a few went to Oregon, where they continued the movement. I think it is funny that my grandmother (one of those children above) was a lifelong teetotaler. She belonged to the Womens Christian Temperence Union for many years. Yet every day, she took a good dose of her "Lydia Pinkham's Tonic", which was about 60% alcohol.

I previously sent this and didn't think about the fact I should have put down the area they were living in until a kind person suggested I do this, so I'm going to do this again. *smile* My Cook Roll Call is noted at the end of this message. I am looking for information on James Cook who was married to Ann McConnell. I do not know where they were born or lived most of their lives, but I'm assuming in Tennessee as that is where the rest of the family lives. Blount County Records has a deed (I haven't seen it yet) dated May 10, 1823 which lists the heirs of James and Ann. We think our great great great grandmother Elizabeth may be the daughter Elizabeth named as one of the 12 children listed in the deed. Would like anything at all relating to this family. <What I have so far on our Elizabeth Cook, b. ca 1796 -1797 m. Samuel Benjamin Smalling b. 1799. He was the son of Samuel and (Miss Taylor?) Smalling of Tennessee. The deed also lists another child of James and Ann as being William, who married a Margaret Smalling, who was the daughter of Samuel Smalling. It appears the Cooks and the Smallings were together at some point in time. My Cook Roll Call: my g-g-g grandparents: Elizabeth Cook (ca1797 TN - ?) m. Samuel Benjamin Smalling (1799 TN- ?) s/o Samuel Smalling and poss. Miss Taylor (d/o Robert Taylor?) my g-g grandparents: Margaret Jane Smalling (1840 Tellico Plains, TN -1920 Tellico Plains, TN ) m.
