Hi, My great grandfather, Alexander G. Cook married Elizabeth Jane Johnson in Marshall Co., MS in 1858. His mother had died prior to the 1850 MS Tippah Co. census and he and his father Hiram Cook were living in the household of Samuel and Mary "Polly" Johnson. My only info was from my mother who always indicated that Alex was reared by his aunt "Polly" Johnson. I do know that Elizabeth Jane Johnson was the daughter of Asceneth R. Myhand and William B. Johnson who were married in Talbot Co., GA in 1837. Wm. B. Johnson had died before 1850 and Elizabeth J. was living in Tippah Co. with her mother, her 4 siblings and her grandfather William. Myhand. All of the families lived around Cornersville. I know very little about the Johnson or Cook family. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows anything about these families. Alexander Cook and Elizabeth Johnson had one son Will S. Cook who lived and reared his family near Cornersville.
