I am seeking information on the ancestors of William Moses Cook, Born 25 December 1863 in Iowa, died 26 February 1916 in Oklahoma. My records show his fathers name to be Bill Cook, killed while serving as a union soldier during the civil war. His mothers maiden name as Higgenbothem but not her given name. they had the following children: Alanzo, William Moses, Oleva and Dovie. His mother after the death of her first husband married another man named Cook that was not related to her first husband and had two more children: Marvin and Walter and then she died and her second husband remarried and this whole group migrated across Nebraska and Kansas as a family to take part in the land run for unassigned lands in Oklahoma April 22, 1889. I have found a record that there was a William W. Cook who was killed 2 January while serving with the 22nd Iowa infantry, but have been unable to prove that he was William Moses's father. I hope someone reconizes these people or the story and can help. mclanec@juno.com ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
