Area: Ballard Co, KY .. somewhere Tennessee Timeframe: 1860 - 1880 Due to terrible weather - I had to stay indoors today working on Cook web pages <smile> While going through my notes - I found a reference about Great Grandpa Jasper Marvin Cook's birth - he was born Nov. 13, 1893 to Jefferson Davis Cook & Mary E. Roach Cook. According to a book "Ballard Co, KY Births & Deaths .." Jefferson Davis Cook was born in Tennessee (either 1860 / 1861) and they lived in Tennessee even though g. gpa was born in Ballard County. I have been finding some references to Cook families from the Jackson Purchase area of KY - coming from Tennessee. In fact a number of the KY Cooks lived on the border of KY/TN. If anyone has a Tennesse census book with either a Jasper N. Cook or Jefferson Cook in it ca 1860-1880 - I'd be grateful for a look up. Newton is the name of my g.g.g'pa according to Jefferson Davis Cook's death cert. thanks in advance, Pat I'll be posting those new Cook web pages - tomorrow.
