They were in Indiana in 1835 - 1838(9) and were in Wisconsin by 1840. They were first in Walworth County (1840), Green Lake County(1848)and finally Dunn County (1865). They had the following children: Charles B. See born @ 1833 in New York David born @ 1835 in Indiana Lavina born @ 1837 in Indiana Richard C. born April 11, 1840 in Walworth County, Wisconsin John B. born @ 1843 in Wisconsin Elizabeth born @ 1844 in Wisconsin Any help would be greatly appreciated.

List members, I still search for solid leads, not circumstantial evidence, on what became of Sarah Cooke. She is the daughter of Isaack and Elizabeth (Buxton or Buxstone) of Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts in New England. She is last known to be living in 1692 through the will her father left and is noted simply as living which meant minor. After this all pertinent records indicate she crawled under a rock.

Dear Cookies, Is there anyone on the list interested in the 1850 census of Henry Co.(eastern), Iowa. There were 21 Cook familys with head of household born as follows: Ohio-11, Pa.-3, SC-2, NC-2, In.-2. If you think you may want more info drop me an e-mail direct and I will send it to you. Some of these familys probably moved on into Iowa and points west and south as that seemed to be the trend during the time period. Regards, Bill wcrab@ibm.net
I am still at a dead-end in trying to locate the parents of my great-great-grandfather Richard COOK. Richard was baptized at the Brunswick Street Church (Methodist) in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Richard and family were apparently living in Sambro. Richard was 15 years old in August 1825 when he was baptized. I have always thought that this was unusual since I always thought the the large majority of Methodists were baptized before six years of age. Notes from one of my cousins which were taken from the original church records stated that Richard was born in Yarmouth (no country, provence, or state mentioned) and was the son of "the late Joseph Cook of Yarmouth and Mary, now Ring". There are several RING entries in the IGI which are confirmed by my cousins notes from the above mentioned church notes. These interesting items are: 1) Mary SMITH married William RING in 1821. 2) William, son of William and Mary RING was born 21 May 1822 at baptized on 6 July 1823 3) Elizabeth, daughter of William and Mary RING, was born 10 November 1823 and baptized 26 August 1825 4) Richard COOK, son of Richard COOK and Mary "now Ring" was 15 years old on the 25th August 1825 was baptized 26 August 1825. In fact, the baptism of Elizabeth RING and Richard COOK were adjacent entries in the church records. Does any one have any ideas on the possibilities that Richard's mother is somehow related to the Mary that is the wife of the William RING mentioned above. Any ideas and comments and other ideas would be greatfully appreciated. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Richard Cooke Dead People Collector (Family Historian) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I've gone to look for myself.

Does anyone know of a Joseph COOK who had a son in August 1810 by a Mary. Mary's last name is unknown, i.e. not known if she was married to Joseph. By the time the son was baptized in Halifax in August 1825 Mary had married a gentleman with the surname RING. The first name of this gentleman is unknown. The name of this son was Richard COOK, my great-great-great-grandfather. Thanks for any clues or suggestions in identifying Joseph and Mary. I am considering both "in-wedlock" as well as "out-of-wedlock" birth of Richard. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Richard Cooke Dead People Collector (Family Historian) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I've gone to look for myself.

I understand there was a marriage between a Joseph COOK and a Mary CROWE in 1791 recorded in St Mathews Church records in Halifax. I understand that this is likely the old Mather Church. Does anyone have any information about this Joseph's death and if this couple had a Richard born in August 1810. According to the baptism records for my great-great-grandfather Richard COOK, Richard was born in August 1810 and was baptized in Halifax in 1825 at the age of 15. The baptism record indicates that his fateher, Joseph, had died and his mother, Mary, had married a RING. Any answers to the above questions would be greatly appreciated. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Richard Cooke Dead People Collector (Family Historian) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I've gone to look for myself.

I've been receiving this list for quite a while, but have never posted my line. In response to the recent call, here it is. My most wanted Koch is trying to find the parents of Christian Koch, Sr., born 1789 in New Ringgold, PA, and died Jan. 9, 1879. His parents were obviously living in PA, but we haven't had success in discovering who they were. Our current theory is that his father may have been Johannes Christian, a Hessian soldier who was captured at the battle of Trenton, imprisoned in Lancaster, and took an oath of allegiance Sep. 1, 1778. This is just a guess right now. I look forward to hearing from anyone who may be able to shed light on this or who would like more information. Good Hunting!

Hi out there in Cook land: Writing to you from snowy Ontario Canada. I live about 4 hours north of Toronto and although we were not hit by the big blizzard we are getting snow and I think we have had enough. Now on to business: Once again I am looking for a Holden Cook and his wife Mary Graves who were married on June 1, 1824 in Hemingby. The children that I have tracked down are as follows: Susan b.

There are some very sophisticated, yet cheap, photo enhancement programs now and those photos should be enhanced and stored on CD's and then re-stored on new mediums as they come out. You should take the data off those 5.25 floppies before they start losing it due to the age of the magnetic coating on them.

This is rather lengthy, but kinda true. nk. KEN & MARTHA: A LESSON IN DATA PRESERVATION" by Michael John Neill It's 1968. Two genealogists are madly obtaining and compiling family history information. Ken is converting all his data to punch cards. "State-of-the-art" he says. Locals at the genealogical society brag about how "modern" Ken is. He's been asked to discuss his technique with several groups. Martha insists on using her old manual, "It worked for Donald Lines Jacobus," she states, ignoring the blank stare she gets in return. Ken jokes, "why Martha, you probably don' t have running water." Martha calmly replies "I most certainly do-packing water from the creek would take away from time at the courthouse." Martha uses good paper and good ribbons, but that doesn't matter to the others. "Living back in the '30s," they say. Martha remembers using court documents from the 1890s and the ease with which sixty years later she read the judge's typewritten conclusions. She smiles to herself and carries on. After all, her research has shown she's descended from a stubborn, independent lot and a little ribbing won't sway Martha. It's 1998. Ken and Martha have been gone for years, the society members who lauded Ken and ribbed Martha are mostly gone, current members are largely unaware the two former members. Ken's heirs and Martha's too have found their genealogical compilations in their respective attics and have wisely donated them to the local genealogical society. The acquisitions chairman quickly appoints someone to inventory and catalog Martha's typewritten charts, forms, and histories before they are added to the society's collection. The society is still trying to find someone to do the same with Ken's cards. The comment "why don't we sell them as bookmarks at our annual workshop" is initially laughed at but does generate some serious interest. Pictures are also a part of Ken and Martha's collection. Martha's black and whites have stood the test of time rather well. Some of the original stones are gone, but Martha's pictures remain and will be archivally preserved by the society. Ken's color photographs have faded and they, in addition to his punch cards, are still awaiting a decision. While the "old way" of doing things is not necessarily the best way (I'm partial to running water and electricity myself), Ken and Martha's story makes a point about the use of technology. The blond hair in the photograph of me at three years of age has faded. Today the photo makes me look as if I've always had a receding hairline. I have a stack of 5.25" floppies sitting on my desk, gathering dust. They all contain state-of-the-art software, and corresponding data files. The only computer I have that reads 5.25" floppies sits in my garage. With a null-modem I could transfer the files to the machine I currently use. That works today and the machine in the garage is thirteen years old.
Hi Group: First,this is a great list. Everybody seems to concentrate on geneaology and not too many sidetracks. I am researching Adam Koch and wife Margarethe Rohmann from Germany aboard the ship Duke of Bedford arriving Phila. Sept. 14, 1751. Any info on ancestors or descendants of these would be greatly appreciated. Will gladly share info with you. Haven't been on much lately, my computer kept crashing{5 times in 6 weeks} If I owe anybody replies let me know. When my Hard drive went I lost a lot of e-mail addresses. Many Thanks, Bill Cook Thorn Hill, TN.
