I have a brick wall. It is my gg-grandfather, Richard L Cook. I have traced him back to the 1850 Warren County census where they are married. He is 21 and she is 18 or 19. They are in the 1860 Warren County census. He is listed as a railroad worker. Then they are not in the 1870 WC census, but I know they moved to Thomas County after the civil war. There is only one other Cook household (a 52 yr old woman and a 9 yo child) listed in the 1850 WC census. I can't figure out, if he was born in WC then why is only one other Cook family listed. I would have expected siblings, even if his father had died. I am trying to locate his siblings and parents. No luck so far. No one in the family knows where he comes from and there is no lacking of his relatives in their 70's 80's and 90's who should know if anyone should. SIGH! If you have internet access, you can find a picture I have of Richard L Cook here: http://www.oh-possum.com/ken/photos/richardlcookandlucy.jpg
