Hello everyone, Trying once again to locate the parents of my great-great grandfather, Aaron Cook. The best info. I had, which was "hearsay," made me believe that they were a George Cook and a Sarah HAMILTON. However, researchers in Butler Co., OH found that Sarah Hamilton had married someone else just a few months before Aaron was born. So that makes them (George and Sarah) unlikely as Aaron's parents. Here is what I know about Aaron: Aaron COOK, b. 03 Oct 1812, Butler Co., OH; d. 22 Oct 1864, MO (Civil War skirmish); m. Lydia ROBERTS, 28 Nov 1828, Buchanan Co., MO. Children of Aaron and Lydia: Hiram Albert COOK, b. 14 Feb. 1844, Buchanan Co., MO; d. 08 Feb 1920, Jefferson Co., KS; m. Lucinda FRANKLIN, 09 Dec. 1867, IA (this is my great-grandfather--have more info. if interested). Sarah Jane COOK, b. 17 Dec 1848 Mary Elizabeth COOK, b. 12 Jun 1852, MO Giles Thomas COOK, b. 05 Oct 1854 George Lewis Craig COOK, b. 28 Dec 1856 Charles Franklin COOK, b. 15 Aug 1859 Aaron Perry COOK, b. 03 Aug 1861 William Arthur COOK, b. 20 Sep 1863; d. 25 Dec 1863 Lydia Rachel COOK, b. 19 Mar 1865 (Lydia Roberts Cook died in giving birth to Lydia Rachel--about 5 months after her husband, Aaron, died. So sad.) Does this sound like your family? I'll be glad to share what I have. Thanks for reading. Judy Judy Marshall Arnold - mailto:judyad@flash.net Judy's Place - http://www.flash.net/~judyad/
