I have received additional information about my Robert R/A. Cook, of Carroll County, Ga. According to family legend, his father never came out of the Carolina's. It is believed that his father's name was either Elisha or Elijah Cook. It is also legend that he may have changed his name from Cooper to Cook. This Cook family had close ties with the Rooks family. The area of the Carolina's where it is believed that this line of Cooks came from is what is now Oconee County, South Carolina. If anyone has any records showing a connection of Robert R/A Cook to a Elisha or Elijah Cook in the late 1700's or early 1800's it might be just the link I'm looking for. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks. Johnny Cook jcook@mail.tds.net
