It seems that you may have been right about Edwin's parents. His age matches what we have found in later census records. The obituary for Almy Harrington Cook Rose also gave us some leads to follow - Two single women (Bessie & Lucy) by the name of Cook were listed as staying with another Harrington in the same edition of the newspaper. It all seems more than a coincidence that they would be in town from Syracuse and Ellisburg (where Almy's sons George & Edwin are from) unless they were related and Almy was their grandmother! The arson story may have some validity as well since we've been able to find Abigail Scott Cook and all her children except Lucy Cook Cobb in the 1910 census, living in Detroit. Perhaps Edwin ended up doing time in New York! Thanks again for your assistance. Do you know how to locate death certificates in New York? We're out in Ohio so we need to do this long distance. Any ideas would be helpful. Kathie & Don Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
