Hi K.P., Tom, Ann, and other COOK researchers, Thank you for your reply. Would some kind researcher please lookup the death record of John COOK, aft. 1860, possibly in Orangetown, Rockland Co., NY, or Bergen Co., NJ? He was also of Madison Co., NY, and Oneida Co., New York. ~correction~ He was the husband of Sally or Sarah UNKNOWN MAIDEN NAME not Catherine UNKNOWN MAIDEN NAME. Thanks :) to Mrs. Arlene Cook for this correction. Children were: ~Dwight R. COOK m. Maryetta LEONARD, ~Jonas P. COOK m. Catharine, ~Stella COOK m. Mr. WASHBURN and possibly ~Anson COOK.
