COOK who was born 1840 in Germany. In 1880 cincinnati HAMILTON OH census they are HENRY R. 40 b. Germany Carriage Trimmer Eliza 30 b. France Charles 17 b. KY Harry A. 7 b. KY Dollie 5 b. OH Emma 2 b. OH. I wonder if Henry R. COOK immgrated as Heinrich R KOCH. As it doesn't say where or when he immigrated I have no idea if he was a child at time of immigration. Eliza is said to be born in France. as she is 30, and Charles is 17, I don't think she is HIS mothers. Also there is a gap of 13 years between Charles and Harrys births. On Charle death cert it says Covington KENTON KY as his birth place, but that may not be accurate. He died in Kenwood HAMILTON OH 1953-55, but after living in OH for a least 10-14 years from 1875 to ? , he was back in KY, 1900 , living in West Covington KENTON with his wife and children. He was also there in 1910. He was supposed to have been in the NATIONAL GUARD there, and wounded in some big RIOT, where he lost sight in his eye. Not sure when he moved back to HAMILTON OH. His wife was Estelle GOOD b.ca 1870 in HAMILTON OH to Joseph GOOD & Josephine WHITTIKIND. My questions are mostly related to Henry R. COOK/KOCH. When did Henry R come to this country from Germany? Was he married before Eliza? Is Eliza CharlesWilliam's mother, and if not, who is. Who are Henry R.'s parents Where did Henry R. die, and when? GINNY 2 at ginnynumbertwo@yahoo.com
