Ron : I have had no luck tracing this Cook line further back than *John Henry Cook. He was born , October 12, 1839 Stokes County North Carolina, and died September 12, 1927 in Lawrence County Kentucky , he and Winnie were on The 1870 Lee County Virginia census and were married October 04, 1859, in **Stokes County North Carolina. In 2003, The Sons of Confederate Veterans dedicated a Confederate Stone for John in The Laurel Cemetery in Lawrence. Sure would like to find the key to this locked door some day !
