I have a strong feeling that some of us are definitely connected! A while back there were some Cooks too that wrote in, and I'm sure there is a connection somewhere. My ancestor Elisha Cook lived in NY for a time. He was listed as being in Oneida County in 1800. He had a son Horace Cook born in Oneida County, NY, in 1813. Later, Elisha lived in Erie County, PA in 1830 and 1840. Elisha Cook must have died in or near Erie County, PA, where he is last listed in the 1830 and 1840 censuses. I'm sure that Elisha was from CT, from his records in censuses that say that, as do his wife's, Hannah. This Elisha Cook's wife, Hannah, was born in 1776 (I'm sure it was CT too). She came out to Iowa later with her son Horace and his wife Sophia Bligh Cook. Horace Cook (Elisha Cook's son) and his wife Sophia Bligh Cook, came to eastern Iowa in about 1849 after first living in MO for a very short time. Horace and his wife Sophia Bligh Cook are buried in eastern Iowa near the town of Lost Nation, IA, in Clinton County. Hannah who was Elisha's wife, is buried beside her son Horace Cook in Iowa. I would love to know who some of Elisha and Hannah Cook's other children are, and where Elisha and his wife Hannah came from in CT.
