My ancestor Horace Cook was born in 1813 in Oneida County, NY. Then his family, (Elisha Cook was his father, and a Hannah was his mother), moved westward to Erie County, PA where he was married in that area in 1835. In the late 1840's they came to Jackson County, IA, after having lived a very short time in Adair County, MO. After living in Jackson County, IA, they finally moved to Clinton County, IA near Lost Nation, IA, where they are buried. Wonder if there is a connection?

Married Theresa Gorman from PA. Children were Mary, born 1846 in Mercer County, PA, Andrew, George, Lydia and Lucy, all born in PA. The only census that I can find them on is the 1860 census in Van Buren Twn, Jackson County, Iowa. I know that Mary married Samuel Newell Heath ( Minor Heath) in Andrew, Iowa abt 1865. On the 1870 census I find Andrew Cook with his mother Theresa and sister Ruth ( ?Lucy ) with a John Cook, born Canada, In Kinderhook, Pike County, IL. Lydia had married Charles Floyd and were listed right above Andrew on that census. 1880 Charles Floyd is in Sabula, IA as a meat cutter. 1900 Lydia and her mother Theresa are living with Lydia's daughter Estella who is married to Frank Orvis, in Beloit, Rock County, WI. By 1910 Theresa is no longer listed with them on the census for Beloit. 1920 they are in Gardenia, CA. I know what happened to Mary and Lydia but the rest are a mystery. Brick Wall. If any one would have any information on this Cook family I would like to hear from you. I would like to find out what happened to Isaac and his son George and daughter Lucy (Ruth) and Theresa who was in Beloit, WI in 1900. I think that maybe something happened to Isaac and that John was his brother. It was suggested that Isaac might have gone back to PA and fought in the Civil War. All I have is questions on what happened. Hojping that this might just fit in with some other Cook relation somewhere.
