have two separate COOK lines...... The first was in Laurens Co. SC prior to the American Revolution. My branch moved to Madison Co., AL in 1812, Marshall Co., AL in the 1830s, and to LA in the mid-1850s. The family lived in several North Louisiana parishes before settling in what is now LaSalle Parish. The second Cook family was, I believe, also in Laurens Co, SC prior to the AmRev. They moved to Greene/Sumter Co., AL prior to 1830. In the mid 1850s they moved to Richland/Frankin Parish, LA, and later to what is now LaSalle Parish. Have much info to share with those researching Cooks from these areas. Patricia Cook Taylor ioni@jump.net ======================= Patricia Taylor ioni@jump.net Austin, TX =======================
