    3. When I was looking for the gravestones of my gggrandfather Harvey Wesley Cook in the Hillington Cemetery at Morris in Otsego County, New York I found a grave plot and monument for Harvey H. Cook and his wife, but did not record it. I also believe that while checking the census for Otsego County in the late 19th century, I found reference to that Harvey, as living in the village of Morris and running a shoe or tailor shop, while my Harvey Wesley was a farmer on our homestead farm. As I grew up in Morris and occasionally travel through there,I'll take another look at the stone. You might check for a cemetery listing for Morris and the Hillington Cemetery on the Otsego County Genweb site, but your best bet is to contact Joyce Foote, Town of Morris Historian, Morris, New York 13808. Joyce is the keeper of the Hillington Cemetery plot maps and records, so she may have the records of that Harvey Cook, who is buried on the top of the third hill near the fountain. This may be your Harvey. >Good Morning Everyone-- > Recently found new information about the COOK family I'm looking >for.
