Dear Robert, I was just reading through "The History of Alamance" by Miss S. W. Stockard printed in 1900, which was a work which came out of her MFA Thesis. She mentioned the Cook Family in a very short passage which I thought that you and others might like to know: CHAPTER XII. Cook Family The Cook family came over in the Mayflower. Francis and John Cook , 1620. His son John Cook was in Petersburg, Virginia, 1750, but moved to Alamance, settling on the Great Alamance, Mr. Edwin Holt's old place. Henry Cook settled near the Daniel Holt place, 1750. His son John (or Henry) married Miss McRae of Fayetteville. He was a planter. They had five sons and two daughters. Daniel married Miss Blackwood. Archibald married Mrs. Staley. Henry married Mary Bryan -Henry Monroe Cook, of Swepsonville. Duncan married Emma Stanford. John died. Nancy married Judge Coble of Winston-Salem. Julia married Andy Woods. The Cooks were Whigs in time of the Revolution. ==== NCORANGE Mailing List ==== Larry Noah - lrnoah@bigfoot.com - Listowner - NCORANGE mailing list Orange Co, NC USGenWeb site is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncorange USGenWeb Orange Co, NC Archives site is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nc/orangnc.htm
