Surnames: Cook, Field Classification: Lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ok.2ADE/4241.5.1 Message Board Post: James B. Cook petitioned the Atchison County Court in May 1848 that the road from Cook's Mill to the Tarkio river be abandoned. SEARCH "Cooks Mill" for details. This was undoubtedly the last vestiges of Field's Trace; Cooks Mill--located straight south of Riverton on Mill Creek--had been established in the early 1840's on this road.--W.F.
