A Cherokee Cook Line - My Grandfather Cooks Mother and Father were part Cherokee according to him... and 3 of the new family members I have recently found say there is Cherokee. The Cook line itself...... and a Carter line connecting to it. I have a new surname, actually two to add to my Cook line. Southerland (Sutherland and various other spellings) and Brown (NC line) it looks like. The Southerland line was once connected to an Addison (Jessee) line though Adison is not my line. It also seems my Grandfather Jeffie Lee Cook who went by the name of Bill and Jeff was born earlier than the 1907 date I had. His younger brother, Howard was born in Blue Ridge GA in 1905 it looks like. There is a half brother, Robert L Cook, born 1921. (mom is a Duke) My Cook line was in Georgia and Tennessee... but also has connections to Kentucky and the Carter line portion at least, in North Carolina and GA. Later the Cook line extended to Indiana... the southern part near Louisville KY. My grandfathers father, Samuel R. Cook, born in Milton County, Georgia and is buried in Utica, Indiana. He was married AT LEAST one other time to a Lula "Duke" Cook. He BUILT a church in S. Indiana and preached there. I believe it was in Clark or Floyd County. My Grandads mom, Callie "Carter" Cook Fusireno, born Union County, GA, died a long way from home in San Diego, CA in 1961. Callie we believe married Sam Cook about 1902. My grandfathers Great Grandfather was Willlam R Cook born in Ga. about 1850 I believe. My grandfathers GGrandmother was Elizabeth Jane Southerland - Addison - Cook born in NC about 1842. She was the daughter of Elisha Southerland and Dovey "Brown" , who both were born in North Carolina and died in Polk Co. TN. They had lived at Copperhill. Dove Brown may have been born in Buncombe Co NC. William Cook and Elizabeth Jane Addison married in PICKENS County, Georgia in 1869. Other children were WILLIAM Cook, SARAH Cook, DAVID Cook, and SAM was youngest of children I know of.... 8 months old. There was a stepson named James Adison, age 18. This info is in 1880 Milton Co. GA Census.... Little River District. There is also info on these lines in Polk County TN. (1900 US Census, 1870 Census, 1860 Census, 1850 Census, Milton County GA 1880, 1870, and Kentucky 1920 Census, Louisville KY where Samuel Cook is listed as a carpenter and not a minister. It also says his father born Ga, mother born NC) My Grandfather Bill Cook ( born Jeff ...... Jeffie Lee Cook) lived in Georgia maybe... Rising Fawn and or Blue Ridge, Louisville Ky, Chattanooga TN where 2 of his wifes are buried also ... Mrs Jeff Cook (Bertie?) died Oct 1935 of drowning and Lily May Cook, originally Connell died Dec.1936 victim of a shooting) He remarried again in Ringgold GA June 22, 1936. and lived with this wife in Chattanooga and Memphis and later moved to San Francisco with her. They divorced in Oct 1944 in Chattanooga however after 8 years of marriage. He was also once married to a woman from WASHINGTON state....the first wife maybe? His brother Howard, who was known in Chattanooga, also was married more than once, and died in Los Angelas in 1964. My mom has a half sister somewhere from which wife we do not know. She maybe is in Washington state or Kentucky if still alive. We know she had kids of her own. My Grandfather back in the sixties or early 70's said he found her once. OK.... updated again, along with the old. Does my line sound like it might connect to anyone elses out there? Thanks [email protected]
