Thank you Stephen. Yes I have checked the CT State Library as that is where I found the Philomela daughter of Nathaniel Cook. I was unable to locate her marriage to Jesse PEck in 1785 though. It's possible the information was there but I was very restricted in the amount of time I had at that library. I told my family I'd like a few days at that library for my Christmas gift but I don't think I'm going to get it. Oh well. Thanks for your help though. Carol Have you checked the Barbour Collection? It is a centralized index to all CT vital records for that period. Also the CT State library has a similar index to many church records of that period. >Hello, > >I am trying to find a marriage record for a Philomela Cook who married >Jesse Peck probably 15 Nov 1785.
