Hello there, My great great grandfather was 2nd married to Parthenia McGee. His name was Thomas Jefferson Crook. I believe they are buried side by side in the Oak Grove Cem, Ripley Co. Mo. I recently took pics but lost them due to crash of computer. I only live about 2o miles from the cem. and plan to get back to retake pics as soon as I can. Did not know if you had the info on Parthenias' marriage to Crook or not, so thought I would jump in and let you know. Sorry if I butted in.
