I will start the new year with my brick wall COOK, William (Willie) . He was my grandfather Memphis Ray. This man may have been born in Graham, CO. NC. around 1895. Mother: Catherine Elizabeth Rogers Cook. Born 1870. Question about fathers name maybe William Henry Cook. His father work on the railroad. His mother had a small store for the RR workers. He had one sister Dora Bell Cook Ray. They were from the NC, GA, TN area. Murphy, NC -- Copper Hill, TN -- Blue Ridge, GA. He relocated to WV taking a new identity of William Memphis Ray. This was his brother-in-laws name that was married to his sister Dora Bell. This was around 1918 or 1919 because in 1920 he married my grandmother in WV with his new name. Some where someone knew of this man. My mom is getting old and would love to know her fathers true identify. We grandchildren would also like to know of our own ancestors. If anyone has any information on this line of Cooks please E-mail me. Thank you for your time. Jerry Nan E-mail JRNan1@aol.com
