Sorry about the error in the dates. According to my records William Henry Cook died on June 15, 1886 and Married on Dec. 30, 1857. I got these dates out of a Eastland Co. Tx book in library. I sure hope someone can help me. I'm at blank wall. Thank you, Jackie jacky1@gte.net

I descend from Walter Cook 1600s Mendon MA, anyone want to exchange info??

Someone had a Henry Cook in Texas listed the other day and I accidentally deleted it. Could you please repost it. My great-great grandmothers father was a Henry Cook. Her name was Rebecca Ann or Delaney Cook. She married John Melton Hines in Hill Co, TX. Wanda

Now that there are so many of us researching so many different Cook lines, it might help if we indicated in the subject line what state the people we are enquiring about were in. ____ Dorrie in Lexington, Mass. ZPQM64A@Prodigy.com Poor spellers of the world, untie!

Hello everyone, Thought I would try again: My most-wanted COOKs are the parents of Aaron Cook. The best info. I had, which was "hearsay," made me believe that they were a George Cook and a Sarah HAMILTON. However, researchers in Butler Co., OH found that Sarah Hamilton had married someone else just a few months before Aaron was born. So that makes them (George and Sarah) unlikely as Aaron's parents. Here is what I know about Aaron: Aaron COOK, b. 03 Oct 1812, Butler Co., OH; d. 22 Oct 1864, MO (Civil War skirmish); m. Lydia ROBERTS, 28 Nov 1828, Buchanan Co., MO. Children of Aaron and Lydia: Hiram Albert COOK, b. 14 Feb. 1844, Buchanan Co., MO; d. 08 Feb 1920, Jefferson Co., KS; m. Lucinda FRANKLIN, 09 Dec. 1867, IA (this is my great-grandfather--have more info. if interested). Sarah Jane COOK, b. 17 Dec 1848 Mary Elizabeth COOK, b. 12 Jun 1852, MO Giles Thomas COOK, b. 05 Oct 1854 George Lewis Craig COOK, b. 28 Dec 1856 Charles Franklin COOK, b. 15 Aug 1859 Aaron Perry COOK, b. 03 Aug 1861 William Arthur COOK, b. 20 Sep 1863; d. 25 Dec 1863 Lydia Rachel COOK, b. 19 Mar 1865 (Lydia Roberts Cook died in giving birth to Lydia Rachel--about 5 months after her husband, Aaron, died. So sad.) Does this sound like your family? I'll be glad to share what I have. Thanks for reading. Judy Judy Marshall Arnold - mailto:judyad@flash.net Judy's Place - http://www.flash.net/~judyad/

Hey All, With more of us Cooks on the Internet, I thought I would resubmit my family information and see if anyone knows more about my John Cook and his family. John Cook originally came from Dorchester County, Maryland where he was born Oct 5, 1774. He moved to Pickaway County, OH with his family around 1810. He was recorded on the 1820 US Census as living in Deer Creek Township in Pickaway County. There are numerous other Cooks that lived in the Deer Creek Township area, but I have no proof that any of them were related. Then, according to Land Purchase Records from the State of Illinois and the U.S. Census, I am able to gather he moved to Knox County Illinois, purchasing land in Orange Township in 1835. According to cemetery records, he died November 16, 1845 and is buried in Cook Cemetery in Knox County, Illinois. His wife, Sarah "Sally" Bailey/Barclay is also buried there. She was born in Maryland on Jan 2, 1777 and died in Knox County on May 4, 1847. (It is wonderful what information they used to include on some headstones. Unfortunately, John's wife's maiden name was obscured so I'm still unsure whether it was Bailey or Barclay. There is a more than likely connection with a John Cook listed in the Daughters of the American Revolution having married Sally Bailey, daughter of George Bailey from Maryland who fought in the Revolution.) According to his probate records, John and Sarah had at least five children: Elizabeth (married a Donaca), Mark (married Sophia Godfrey), John (married Hester "Hettie" Holloway), Sarah (married Enoch Godfrey), and Charlotte (married B. Fleharty possibly of Rio Township). My ancestor Mark Cook was born in Delaware (according to his headstone) and died in Knox County in 1850. He and his wife had nine children (eight girls and one boy from 1828 to 1847). Their son Darius Jackson Cook was born in Knox County, Illinois on September 23, 1837. He married Sophrona Elizabeth Stephens on November 18, 1857. After a very short tour of duty in the Civil War with the 77th Illinois Volunteer Regiment, Company A and the 130th Illinois Volunteer Regiment, Company D he moved his family to Clay Center, Nebraska where he died on July 24, 1926. I provide all of this information in hopes that someone connects with it. I am trying to link my John Cook with another John Cook (possibly my John Cook's father) that lived in the Transquakin Hundred in/or around 1776. Matthew Cook mpcook@ibm.net

I noticed many new members on the Cook list, so I thought I'd post my Cooks in PA. Ezekiel Cook (son of William and Anna Cook) b. 1784 MD m. Elizabeth Leader (daughter of Henry and Catherine Leader) b. 1789 PA ...8 children: Sarah, Catherine, Eliza, Henry, Rebecca, Lucinda, *John, Ezekiel, Jr. I have recently found a little info on William and Anna from a deed in Hopewell Twp, Bedford Co dated 1837. It lists John, William (Jr), Elizabeth, and Thomas as siblings of Ezekiel. I have been told William Sr. died in 1805, but don't have proof, so don't know where he is buried. Ezekiel's son, John married Barbara Lee. They had six children. If anyone is connected to this family, please get in touch, I have much info. Linda Garrett
