Found in Hively's index in York Co. PA, John Cook in the Shrewsbury/Springfield Townships. According to Hively, York was formed from Lancaster in 1749 and Lancaster was formed from Chester in 1729. In that same index for Warrington/Washington townships are Elisha, Mary, Peter, Roger & Samuel Cook, and in W. Manheim/Penn Township is George Adam Cook. www.innernet.net/hively/PaLand/Index.htm Bob, I know you've said your John Cooke 1696-1759 bought land in Chester Co. in 1718 and his line remained in that area - could this one be his line or from one of the others? There is some confusion in my mind about my John Cook b. abt. 1715 Antrim, Ireland as a result of a quote taken from the Union Co. Heritage Book & pervasively spread about the internet: "John Cook and his wife Sarah Fulton emigrated from Ireland to Pennsylvania in 1757. At the Court of September 24, 1757, John Cook was one of several who being Quakers or such who conscientiously scruple to take an oath, being also Foreigners, by affirmation were naturalized . . .", a statement for which I have found absolutely no source! Why was he naturalized, he was already a British citizen? John died in PA and Sarah's Land Grant in 1772 Union, SC was given to Protestants, also their sons fought in the Rev. War. Any suggestions or help? Martha in Atlanta
