Hi Tracy, I can verify that Harrison Cook married Eliza Ann Vroman in the Caughnawaga Reformed Church on 19 Sep 1839. The marriage is listed in the Caughnawaga Marriage book. I have Koch/Cook information in my Nellis/Nelles book. My earliest is a Caspar Koch who was born in Switzerland in 1737. His father was Caspar Koch and his mother was Veronica Muller. Information about this family is found in Henry Z Jones' "More Palatine Families of NY & NJ", p. 151-2. There is a Wm. H. Harrison Cook who was baptised in the Stone Arabia Reformed Church on 24 Oct 1813. His parents were Casper C. Cook and Anna Eve Rickard. If this is your family, I have it in my computer file. He is identified as William Henry Harrison Cook in the Nellis book. I also have information on the Rickard family. Casper C. Cook is the son of the Caspar Kock who was born in 1737. The Vroman family is a Dutch family with roots in the Albany, NY area. I have Vromans in my family. I rather doubt that any place in Illinois was named after Palatine Bridge. It is more likely that it was named after the Town of Palatine and its church. The town and church date back to the mid 1700s. The Palatinate was an area in Germany from which many persons emigrated in about 1709. Richard Hayes >From the shores of Grand Traverse Bay RchrdHayes@aol.com
