Our Cooks did come from England and the earliest known was a Daniel Cook of England (wife's name unknown). This Daniel and wife had a son, Abram Cook born in Maryland, who m. Feebe Mastin of Virginia, Abram and Feebe Mastin Cook had (another) son, Daniel Cook, who m. Martha Warren Norwood dau. of (Capt.) John and Mary Warren Dubose Norwood, Darlington, SC. Daniel and Martha Norwood Cook came to Alabama via GA, where they settled in Possum Bend, near Camden, AL (Wilcox County) and built beautiful Cook Hill which continues to stand, is on tour from time to time and continues to be owned by Cooks. Nearby is the Cook Family Cemetery where Daniel and Martha and several generations of Cooks are interred. Our "Cook" line is most anxious to learn of other Cooks who came from England and to find where there may be a connection. Of course, we do not know the names of our "first Daniels" parents, nor from what area of England they might have come. We do not know on which boat he came. Any info on Cook that you may be able to provide will be most appreciated. Is there a book written on your line of Cooks? We have a red hard-backed book, Book of Cooks, written by Cook and Newell.
