I COOK, William (Willie) . He was my grandfather Memphis Ray. Born Cherokee Co. NC Topton, NC. around 1895. Mother: Catherine Elizabeth Rogers Cook. Question about fathers name maybe William Henry Cook. One sister Dora Bell Cook Ray. They were from the NC, GA, TN area. Murphy, NC -- Copper Hill, TN -- Blue Ridge, GA. He relocated to WV taking a new identity of William Memphis Ray. This was around 1918 or 1919 because in 1920 he married my grandmother in WV with his new name. Any information deeply appreciated Thank you Jerry Nan JRNan1@aol.com
