Hi, Lois, I have checked all your suggestions many times hoping I might find a clue. I realize there is a discrepancy in the dates and age factor. I have also checked the surname Cook. Also there is no Moss County, Ks and never has been. I just don't know where to go from here. Thanks for you help.
