Hi All, I am still looking for any information about that can link my Edward Netty COOK to John and Sarah COOK, who I believe were his parents. There are two Orange County deeds mentioned in this Cook History Book by Earl Cook. One is dated 19 July 1813, mentions a John Cook leaving land (on Stoney Creek) to his children, Edward, James, John, Archibald, and William and Martha Baldwin and Henry King. The other deed is dated 31 Aug 1816, with the same children's names, looks like they are selling part of the land ( if I am reading it correctly ) to a J.H. Gant, ( it again mentions Stoney Creek of Haw River). I would like to find some other proof that this is my Edward Cook his father John Cook. Does anyone have any suggestions for me, as to where to go from here? Would there perhaps be an Orange Co. newspaper that may have birth announcements or obituaries that may link the two together? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
