I do not of any of my Cook's being born in NC, but there is a lot to know. I live in a small town and do not have access to books that are listed on this paper as sources of information. They may help you. Swem's (this is hard to read) Virginia Historical Index: William and Mary Quarterly, v. 26, p. 182-183 (1918) Courtesy Grosvenor Library, Buffalo, New York. Hebron Birth Register, This would be from the Colony of 1717 Germanna. "Record Book, Rader's Lutheran Church, Timberville, Rockingham Co. Virginia" #28, pg. 6 This is where Philip is listed as b. 17, Sept. 1781. I assume that all these people were born in Virginia but, that may not be the facts. History of Johnson County, Iowa, 1835-1882. Portrait and Biographical Record of Johnson, Poweshiek, and Iowa Counties. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1893 Ohio Genealogical Quarterly, p. 423. Columbiana County Tax Rolls for 1810. I am not familiar with any of these sources of information. What I have was gathered by Frank E. Hosic and Betty Jean (Cook) Larew. This was sent to the author of the "Descendants of William Casselman/Castleman." I do have a copy of a letter Frank E. Hosic sent my grandfather in the 1930's and I do know he was related to my family of Cooks. I know that Frank Hosic and others in my family thought our line was from the 1717 Colony but, I can not tie it together with generation by generation proof. I hope these sources listed can help you. jmashley@sprintmail.com -----Original Message----- From: Lela Howard <howar001@uwp.edu> To: JAMES ASHLEY <jmashley@sprintmail.com> Date: Saturday, March 13, 1999 11:30 AM Subject: Re: [COOK-L] The will of John Cook (Koch) of VA. 1775, son of Michael, mentions nine sons. >James, > This piece of info is very interesting to me.
