Hi, Thought I'd give my brick wall another try. I am looking for information on Jefferson Davis Cook - son of Newton / Nuton Cook. Born 1860 in Calloway County, KY. His wife and 3 sons are on the census for 1900, Carlisle County, KY - Mary Emma Roach Cook is listed as a widow but Jefferson Davis Cook didn't die until 1916. I suspect that she died before him and maybe before the 1910 census because the 3 sons are living elsewhere. Jefferson Davis Cook and Mary Emma Roach married in Ballard County, KY. Jasper Marvin Cook, my grandfather, boarded with a Gardner in 1910, but his daughter told me that he lived with a West family after his parents died. Jasper married Cora Mayhue Long, daughter of Melvina Whitlow Long and Charles E. Long. Jasper worked on Cora's brother's farm - John Long. David Iley Cook married a Marva and was a farmer in the Graves County area. Jasper moved to Granite City, IL to work in the plants there. William served in France in WWI according to my great aunt Datha. He moved to St. Louis and became depressed after his wife died and committed suicide during the 1940's. I can't find a thing on William O. Cook. Billy Earl Cook of Kevil was able to provide me with some information on the Cook Family several years ago but really didn't know anything beyond "David" Iley Cook. Another clue could be in my great g'pa's name: Jasper Marvin Cook. There was a Jasper Newton Cook in the JP area in the 1860's but I can't put Jefferson Davis with him in the census records. Perhaps the death cert is incorrect. I hope someone can help solve the mystery! I have a photo of Jefferson Davis Cook and Mary Emma Roach on my web page .. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/4375/cook.html Pat Scheele, North Omaha Planning and Scheduling Office Omaha Public Power District, 7475 Pershing Drive, Omaha, Nebraska 68112 (402) 636-2689 e-mail: pscheele@oppd.com Thoughts to ponder: "What lies behind us and what lies in front of us, pales in significance to what lies within us."
