I have a feeling your John Cook could have been a brother of my Elisha M. Cook, born in CT we are sure. He lived in Oneida County, NY in 1800, and his son Horace was born there in 1813. My Elisha M.

-----Original Message----- Marilyn, Thanks for the hail. One way to find out about this for sure, is DNA, Y chromosome. I have had this done through/Cookfamilygenealogy/FTDNA( family tree DNA) @ FTDNA.com or cookfamilygenealogy.com who is affiliated with ftdna.com. What we need is a willing MALE who is a Cook in the direct line of descendancy of your ancestors in question, ie: John Cook-Jonas and or Elbert originating from Litchfield CT. I am on the data base, my brother is as well. The Y chromo is a 'male club only thing' but it is a standard used these to determine surname familial relationships. In your case, because there seems to be a strong possibility of a match, I would be willing to pay for the basic 12 marker panel to establish whether there is a base line surname relationship or not. Let me know if you have anybody that would be willing to do this, its not blood, its a mouth swab, cheek cells. Nothing ghastly.They send out a kit to an address, he does the swabs with a little plastic sterile fork and puts it in a fixitive test tube provided and mails it back in a pre-paid envelope. They include all instructions. I am interested in any other persons Speaking of Horace Cook. I have a Horce Cook in my line. He was a child of Norman the second and Mary E. Green-Cook. Horace was an important name to my Gr.Gr Grandfather as he named all his 10 living children important family names it seems. Horace Gilbert Cook lived most of his life in western MO, after being raised in eastern Iowa, then S.W. Iowa. I have a collaborater, an older woman, who was his grandaughter , she is now about 78 and has been a great source for information on the family. She has done DNA as it regards her father and maternal line, MtDNA. Of course she cant supply anything like Y-DNA for these purposes. I have been searching for some MALE in a promising line for research. Also, there is another man , one Gurdon Wadsworth Cook(e). He lived in Litchfield CT also, he also migrated to Lima at the same times as the others did and I have a belief he is also a related male in our Cook line. I dont know if he is a father, Uncle, brother or cousin, but I do know h! e married a "Gilbert". Another mystery ! My tree is at rootsweb.com, type in Norman W. Cook and go from there.

Hi Ann, K.P., Tom, etc., Ann, THANKS :) for the .jpg pic scan. It appears my COOK family moved from MA?>Salisbury, Litchfield, CT>MA->Westmoreland, Oneida, NY>Harrington, Bergen, NJ>Orangetown, Rockland>NY. ~Correction~ Falkbery is Sallsbury which is a misspelling of Salisbury, CT, on the 1860 Harrington, Bergen, NJ, census. This is where John COOK was born ca 1771-1772. Also, thanks to the Genealogical Society of Rockland Co., NY, we found out that Jonas COOK's son, Elbert G. COOK, b. 1848 Justice of the Peace, is buried in Rockland Cemetery, Sparkill, NY. Is he buried with his wife, Sophia REICHLING or REICKLING? Are any other COOK family members buried with him? Who was Mrs. D.C. WANEGAR who was billed for Elbert G. COOK's burial? Also, John COOK m. Sally or Sarah UNKNOWN MAIDEN NAME, and son Jonas P. COOK m. Catharine FULLER. [Does anyone know how the COOK family connects to Francis COOKE of the Mayflower]? Do you know of how the WORLOCK family fits into the COOK family?

Would some kind researcher please lookup the death record of John COOK, aft. 1860, possibly in Orangetown, Rockland Co., NY, or Bergen Co., NJ?

Hi Laurie, Do you know who Carlisle D. COOK's father was or where they lived in Vermont? I have the State of Vermont ROSTER of SOLDIERS in the War of 1812-14, ©1933, and I'd be happy to do a lookup for you. Happy searching, Jan Jordan in VT <Carlisle D. Cook (b. VT 1816 and young son Hubbard Cook (b VT 1841), there was also a Ruth Cook b. VT 1820). It is possible Carlise D. Cook was Adelia's brother.>

Hello Listers! Its been years since I posted my queries (1997-2000) and I've found some new information which I hope can lead me to unlocking my Cook family mystery! I am searching for the ancestry of Adelia (Cook) Carpenter. She was born June 25, 1815 in Ashtabula, OH. have tracked her through a marriage record in Rochester, NY where the record states: "On the 6th inst. at St. Paul's Church by the Rev. O. Clarke, Mr. Ira Carpenter to Miss Deba Cook." (source: Rochester Gem and Ladies Amulet (RGLA) October 15, 1836 ) Note: Not sure if "Deba" is a nickname, mistype or what) She and Husband Ira were in Rochester at least through 1845. I've tracked her afterwards through census' where her parents birth place was said to be CT. In 1860 she is found with young son William (born 1847, NY) in Cleveland OH residing in the home of Selah Chamberlain, wealthy RR contractor and businessman. Also living in the house is OLIVIA COOK, widow. (I am not sure if they are related, but based on the surname, its quite possible!) From the 1850 census Olivia COOK was living in Cleveland with her husband Carlisle D. Cook (b. VT 1816 and young son Hubbard Cook (b VT 1841), there was also a Ruth Cook b. VT 1820). It is possible Carlise D. Cook was Adelia's brother. By 1870 Adelia (widow) was living in Brooklyn NY with her son William and his wife Adelaide. Adelia lived until 1918 (103 years old!) dying on Staten Island New York. Her death record said she was born Ashtabula, father's name was "possibly"James Cook. So, this Cook family: Father Cook born CT (probably ca 1790), they were in Ashtabula, OH by 1815 when Adelia was born, and in Rochester, NY 1836 when Adelia married Ira Carpenter. ANY information on 1. Rochester, NY Cooks of the time period 2. Ashtabula, OH Cooks 3. A Carlisle D. Cook b. VT ca 1816 (those this might be a red herring if no relationship) Anxious for ANY info on the above!

Two cues, NJ & Rockland Co NY caught my attention. Can you tell me please why you suggested your John may have been born Rockland Co before time up the Mowhawk Valley? (I don't think there was a Rockland prior about 1800 but it is on the Delaware River) I have a John Cook Jr b 1748, died 1810 Colchester, Delaware Co, NY. I know nothing about his first family by Abigail but because she has a DAR file I am certain there has to be at least one child & descendants. He remarried 1779 NJ with Dolly Cook after falling injured at the Battle of Monmouth. If you go to rootsweb.com or ancestry.com you can find this family tree as I've reconstructed it. By custom if 'my' John is a Jr I can expect he & Abigail may have a son John. Although the history in the file/tree doesn't directly reflect it, family lore had John & brothers living at some time in CT and going down onto the Delaware River logging before the Revolution. http://tinyurl.com/2hp5my > Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2007 00:30:58 -0500 > From: jnrose@webtv.net (Jan J.) > Subject: [COOK] John COOK Rev.
