All I can tell you about Samuel Cook was that he was Bn. in Rockbridge Co. Virginia in 1795. He would have been 10 years old in 1805 in North Carolina. He came to Indiana in 1816 and married for the first time in 1818 He lived near Lanesville, Harrison Co. Indiana until 1835 when he moved to Floyd Co. Indiana that was formed in 1819. His first wife died in 1844 and is buried in the family Cemetery at New Albany, Floyd Co. Indiana. Samuel remarried and had a total by both wives of 13 Children He died in 1874. He also according to the Newspaper and his Tombstone I found, is buried in the Family Burial Site (About 5-7 possible stones). I don't know the names of his parents I have not researched him. I hoped I could find someone who was missing an Ancestor and I might be able to help I know someone is missing a Samuel Cook, Born in Va. 1n 1795 I would have thought someone would have been looking for him. I am repairing his stone, I'll take good care of him until I find someone. .I have his Obituary. It tells of his 13 children. At that time 2 daughters lived in Kentucky (Didn't Give married names) and had a son living in Canada. The rest are probably in the Death or Marriage records here in Floyd Co. Indiana. He had Only 3 Survivors. Jack E. Briles Sr. Floyd Co. INPCRP Coordinator PO Box 444 New Albany, In. 47151-0444 (812) 282-6585
