This Posting contains the surnames: ALLEN, BARTON, BILLS, COOK, COOKE, FOREST, HADLEY, MARSHILL/MARSHALL, MILLS. I had been looking for a Milton COOK with no luck. I found a John Milton COOK, who I believe is my ancestor. I don't have the Encylopedia of Quaker Genealogy Volumes 7 (by Heiss), which I believe contain the White Lick, Indiana Quaker MM, so I can't verify that I have this line correct. I'll post it here so people can poke holes in it. Hopefully somebody will recognize the family. John COOKE d. bef 22 Feb 1837 m. Lydia BARTON, d. 30 May 1831 in Frankford, PA. I have nothing on John's or Lydia's parentage. Children: *Jesse COOK, b. 1793 Thomas Wistar COOKE Elisha COOKE Mary Elizabeth COOKE John COOKE, b. 1808 Barton COOKE, b. 1809 Lydia COOKE, b. 1812 Catharine COOKE, b. 1814 Charles COOKE, b. 1819 For this family, I found a list of children in one MM, but the first four children I have here were not listed. The monthly minutes in Volume I clearly state though that Jesse COOK, son of John and Lydia married Hannah MARSHALL, dau. of William and Elizabeth (two separate entries were used to figure out the surnames). Perhaps the first four kids were older so as to not be listed as minor children when John and Lydia joined that MM? I sure hope there weren't two John & Lydia Cooke's in the same monthly meeting. Jesse COOK b. 15 Sep 1793, d. 19 Sep 1859, m. 18 Apr 1821 Hannah MARSHILL, da. of William MARSHILL and Elizabeth BILLS. Children: *John Milton COOK, b. 1829 Probably others... (Abijah?, Juliann?) I also have Jesse m. 1 Jul 1852 at White Lick MM, IN, Mary T. HADLEY, b. 22 Feb 1808 in Chatham Co, NC, d. 12 Nov 1880. Jesse would have been 58 at the time of that marriage, Mary would have been 44. Mary was married to Joshua B. HADLEY 13 Oct 1825 and had four children by him: Martha, Edith, Abner, and Albert. I assume Hannah died before the 1852 marriage to Mary T. HADLEY. Joshua B. HADLEY died 21 Nov 1831. I followed Jesse and Hannah to White Lick MM, but I have no visibility of their activities at White Lick MM. I pick up the family later when Aaron MILLS marries Jessie Ann COOK. John Milton COOK b. 10 Jun 1829 in Morgan Co, IN, m. 24 Mar 1852 Martha HADLEY at White Lick MM, Morgan Co, IN, da. of Joshua B. HADLEY and Mary T. HADLEY listed above. Could this be correct? It would mean he married her only three months before she became his stepsister (his dad married his mother-in-law).. Children: Lydia Ellen COOK, b. 1853 m. John A. FOREST Susannah Mariah COOK, b. 1854 *Jessie Ann COOK, b. 1856, d. 1932 Abner B. COOK, b. 1859 m. Lou ?? Rebecca Jane COOK, b. 1861 Rhoda Edith COOK, b. 1863 m. Mr. ALLEN William H. COOK, b. 1866 Mary Etta COOK, b. 1869 Aaron Mills m. Jessie Ann COOK 21 Jul 1892. I have info on this couple and their descendants. I am interested in anything further on these families or their ancestors. There are several Quaker COOK/COOKE families, and I'm not sure I have everybody tied into the correct families yet. Anybody have the indexes covering the White Lick MM in Indiana (it should be in one book of the Volume 7 series by Heiss)?
