Hi Group, I thought I would start posting some of the transcriptions of deeds that was sent to me by my cousin, who got them from the Orange Co. Genealogical Society a few months ago. I am interested in the ones that included Cook (Cooke) family information, but there might be others here who are looking for these families. Orange Co.
