Marty - You put that correctly - the kids are worth some money but a used husband might be hard to even give away unless he's rich or looks like Tom Cruise, and if he were either of those you'd want to keep him. <grin> Is this Experience, daughter of Elisha(5) Cooke and Rebecca Egerton, born 08-Aug-1751 possibly Halifax? If so, we have some common ancestry - I'm also descended from Jacob(3) Cooke and Lydia Miller, but through their son John. Bowman had a penciled note in his records that she was not named in her father's 25-Jan-1799 will and did not show a marriage. A search of NEHGR yields nothing germane. My sources are almost exclusively for New and Old England. I plan to get to the Roanoke City Library within a week, and they have quite a few Pennsylvania resources I can check. I have your message tucked away on the laptop for reference. Dale H. Cook, Chief Engineer, WWWR Roanoke VA, WCQV Moneta VA, WKBA WZZI Vinton VA, WKPA WLNI WLVA WZZU Lynchburg VA
