Hi Cookies, Wanted to share an interesting sidebar. I was scanning the message that had Cook marriages that was forwarded to the list from Vermillion Co list and what to my surprise, but saw three marriages of Benjamin H. Towner who was the brother of my g-g-grandmother, Phebe (Towner) Harvey! I didn't have the names of his wives and now I have three marriages on him. It pays to look at these messages, even though you may not think it pertains to your family. Linda Garrett

Hello. I just joined your list and I would appreciate any information on a William Cook, born mid-1700's. He was a SeaCaptain from Cork Co.Ireland. Married Jane Wiley and had 3 sons: James, Richard and William. The Cook family emigrated to Albany NY and then on to Canada in 1800 from Conn. Thanks for your help! Vicki Cooper

Hello Everybody... I am still having little or no luck tracing my Great-Grandfather John Henry Cook of Cambridge, England, UK. Born before 1893 (his son's birth date - Arthur Cook)... So I am widening my search to all Cooks born in Cambridge & particulary Chesterton in the vain hope of finding a relation... Arthur Cook had brothers... so maybe I will link up with one of the other lines... Regards Simon J Cook <mailto: sjcook@ctrl.co.uk>
Hi Cook cousins! I'm back from vacation and trying to answer some e-mail. I'll be adding some Marshall County, KY Cook Census data later this week and probably some deed information from KY. I would like to invite our Tennessee Cook cousins to surf over - perhaps in another week or so, I'll be able to start adding some Tennessee information as it seems some Jackson Purchase Cook Families came across the border into KY. The Cooks from 1850 Henry County, TN are already posted to the Cook web page. I'd like to expand just a little bit to include some of the counties bordering the Jackson Purchase Area of KY over on the Tennessee side of the border. If you have stuff that you would like to share, please let me know. I'm a little slow at answering sometimes but always enjoy having a lot of information to work from. The census data that we have so far is located at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/4375/cookcens.html Happy Hunting. Pat
This Posting contains the surnames: ALLEN, BARTON, BILLS, COOK, COOKE, FOREST, HADLEY, MARSHILL/MARSHALL, MILLS. I had been looking for a Milton COOK with no luck. I found a John Milton COOK, who I believe is my ancestor. I don't have the Encylopedia of Quaker Genealogy Volumes 7 (by Heiss), which I believe contain the White Lick, Indiana Quaker MM, so I can't verify that I have this line correct. I'll post it here so people can poke holes in it. Hopefully somebody will recognize the family. John COOKE d. bef 22 Feb 1837 m. Lydia BARTON, d. 30 May 1831 in Frankford, PA. I have nothing on John's or Lydia's parentage. Children: *Jesse COOK, b. 1793 Thomas Wistar COOKE Elisha COOKE Mary Elizabeth COOKE John COOKE, b. 1808 Barton COOKE, b. 1809 Lydia COOKE, b. 1812 Catharine COOKE, b. 1814 Charles COOKE, b. 1819 For this family, I found a list of children in one MM, but the first four children I have here were not listed. The monthly minutes in Volume I clearly state though that Jesse COOK, son of John and Lydia married Hannah MARSHALL, dau. of William and Elizabeth (two separate entries were used to figure out the surnames). Perhaps the first four kids were older so as to not be listed as minor children when John and Lydia joined that MM? I sure hope there weren't two John & Lydia Cooke's in the same monthly meeting. Jesse COOK b. 15 Sep 1793, d. 19 Sep 1859, m. 18 Apr 1821 Hannah MARSHILL, da. of William MARSHILL and Elizabeth BILLS. Children: *John Milton COOK, b. 1829 Probably others... (Abijah?, Juliann?) I also have Jesse m. 1 Jul 1852 at White Lick MM, IN, Mary T. HADLEY, b. 22 Feb 1808 in Chatham Co, NC, d. 12 Nov 1880. Jesse would have been 58 at the time of that marriage, Mary would have been 44. Mary was married to Joshua B. HADLEY 13 Oct 1825 and had four children by him: Martha, Edith, Abner, and Albert. I assume Hannah died before the 1852 marriage to Mary T. HADLEY. Joshua B. HADLEY died 21 Nov 1831. I followed Jesse and Hannah to White Lick MM, but I have no visibility of their activities at White Lick MM. I pick up the family later when Aaron MILLS marries Jessie Ann COOK. John Milton COOK b. 10 Jun 1829 in Morgan Co, IN, m. 24 Mar 1852 Martha HADLEY at White Lick MM, Morgan Co, IN, da. of Joshua B. HADLEY and Mary T. HADLEY listed above. Could this be correct? It would mean he married her only three months before she became his stepsister (his dad married his mother-in-law).. Children: Lydia Ellen COOK, b. 1853 m. John A. FOREST Susannah Mariah COOK, b. 1854 *Jessie Ann COOK, b. 1856, d. 1932 Abner B. COOK, b. 1859 m. Lou ?? Rebecca Jane COOK, b. 1861 Rhoda Edith COOK, b. 1863 m. Mr. ALLEN William H. COOK, b. 1866 Mary Etta COOK, b. 1869 Aaron Mills m. Jessie Ann COOK 21 Jul 1892. I have info on this couple and their descendants. I am interested in anything further on these families or their ancestors. There are several Quaker COOK/COOKE families, and I'm not sure I have everybody tied into the correct families yet. Anybody have the indexes covering the White Lick MM in Indiana (it should be in one book of the Volume 7 series by Heiss)?

Roberta, I think you've hit the jackpot. I recently received the family on Raleigh Hiram Cook from a distant cousin of mine that I met on the Internet. We exchanged our family trees (mine branches off from one of Raleigh's brothers, Hiram Michael Cook). We sent each other GED files to import into our genealogy software. I have Family Treemaker version 5. Are you related through a sibling of Raleigh's? If so, I sure would like your information. Please let me know.

Hi Cookies: It's been awhile since I posted to the list. I am searching for the parents and siblings of James Harrison COOK born abt. 1840 in Ohio. He married Velora BRYANT born abt. 1838 in Huron Co., Ohio, daughter of Ansel D. BRYANT and Lydia VINING ( I don't have a date or place of marriage). The parents of both James COOK and Velora BRYANT were born in New York. This is the only information I have on James parents. I found some early COOK marriages in Huron Township in Erie Co., Oh. and i'm wondering if one of these could be his parents. Erie Co was formed from Huron Co. in 1838. They are: Edwin COOK m. Eliza V. D. COOK 6 Sept. 1838 John B. COOK m. Eleanor AMMERMAN 18 Feb. 1834 John COOK m. Catherine SHAFINER 5 Dec. 1837 Johnathan COOK m. Olive BURDUE 23 Nov. 1835 Hiram COOK m. Mary E. VINING 31 Oct. 1838 Does anyone know if any of these couples has a son named James or James H. or James Harrison COOK b. abt. 1840. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Dee
