Charles, I just read your reply to Lily about the book you have about Salem and Columbiana Co. My husband's fourth Greatgrandfather Job Cook came to that area from NJ with his wife Mary Warrick in the early 1800's. We've always wondered if they were Quakers. I would appreciate it if you would look for anything about Job in your book. Also, why did so many people from New Jersey go to that area? And did Job fight in the Revolution? Thanks for your time.
