Maybe we should ask if anyone does NOT have a William Cook. I have (my earliest) on a deed from 1837. It lists property belonging to Anna Cook, widow of William Cook. This was in Bedford Co., PA. Children also listed on deed: Ezekiel married to Elizabeth Leader John William married to Mary Stover Elizabeth married to George Long Thomas married to Eliza ? I have a DOD on William as 1805, but don't know if that's accurate. I come down through Ezekiel and Elizabeth and have good info from there down. Linda Garrett
