Posted on: Maries Co MO Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Maries/10704 Surname: Welch, Cowan, Spurgeon, Southard, Blevins, Hart ------------------------- Looking for the parents and ancestors of Effie C. Cook born and died in Maries County(1883-1916), wife of Robert Elmer Cowan. I have a photgraph if anyone is interested. I haven't been able to link Effie to any Cooks mentioned in the Maries county history books.
