I can't believe the Cook activity. I have a two-fold question: 1. Who were Robert Cook's parents and where did they come from? 2. Does anyone have a paper trail connecting Robert Cook to his grandson James Cook? Robert Cook and family were in Caroline Co, VA in 1765. However Robert Cook and son Thomas obtained a Granville land grants in the Townfork Settlement in Surry Co. in 1760. Robert Cook also had a son John Cook and John had a son James Cook (b cir. 1757) who was my ggg grandfather. I have seen lots of data and even books that state this connection but no hard proof. Robert Cook's will was probated in Surry Co, NC in 1780 along with an inventory of his possessions. John was mentioned in his will. James Cook's will was probated in Surry Co, NC in 1828. These wills can be found at www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nc/surry.htm . I would appreciate any info concerning these Cooks. I have good info on James Cook. I have done a DNA sample but have no connections thus far. If any male relative of either Robert or James Cook has done a DNA please contact me.
