"Anne, many questions are discussed over and over, so not to worry. It's the nature of this kind of list. Archive searching is possible, of course, but can be time-consuming and problematic, especially because many subject lines are so vague or general. Answering for my "cousin" Bob Cooke, the answer is that the second generation of the Peter Cook(e)/Elinor Norman family mostly moved from Pennsylvania to North and South Carolina and then, later, to Indiana and Ohio. A branch or two stayed in Pennsylvania, including Bob's ancestors. A few individuals went south and then returned to Pennsylvania in their later years. Working only from memory, I know of none who migrated to Rhode Island, but perhaps Bob knows differently. Tom Miller (Thomas Cook Miller)" You're right Tom, this Cook/e family didn't migrate to Rhode Island. Here's a brief summary for the surviving children of Peter & Elinor: John Cooke 1696-1759 bought land in Londongrove twp., Chester Co., Pa. in 1718. His line remained in the Chester Co. area. Peter Cooke 1700-1779 bought land in Londongrove twp. in 1720. In 1744 Peter moved his family to Doe Run, Warrington twp., York Co., Pa. His line remained in York Co. Isaac Cooke 1702- ----- bought land in Marlborough twp., Chester Co., Pa. in 1724. Isaac bought land in Washington twp., York Co., Pa. in 1750. In 1751 a certificate of removal was signed for "Mary and her children" from New Garden MM, Chester Co.to Warrington MM, York Co. Isaac is not mentioned. In 1754 a certificate of removal from Warrington MM was signed for "Mary and her nine children... to some part of Carolina." (poss. Cane Creek MM, South Carolina) Again Isaac is not mentioned. He may have died in Chester Co., prior to 1751? Thomas Cook 1704-1752 Thomas and family is believed to have moved to Warrington, York Co., about 1740. I beleve Thomas died in March 1752 and is buried in an unmarked grave at Warrington FBG. In 1753 "Mary Cook, widow" was granted a warrant for 50 acres in Washington twp., York Co. In 1754 a certificate of removal was signed for "Mary Cook & family" to Cane Creek MM, North Carolina. Elinor Cook 1707- ---- married Thomas Grindall at Old Swedes Chuch, Wilmington, Delaware January 25, 1730/31. Elinor was disowned for having an illegitimate child and marrying out. She disappears after this, nothing else is known. Mary Cook 1709-1784 was the second wife of Thomas Cox they married in 1730. They moved to Warrington about 1737. It's unclear if Thomas was still alive in 1759 when Mary and family removed to New Garden MM, North Carolina. Bob Cooke
