Surnames: Cook, Odom, Cooksey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/kYB.2ACE/1759 Message Board Post: I am looking for ancestral information on Mathew Odom Cook, born 1852 in Mississippi. In the 1880 census, he is living in Hancock County with his father Mathew Cook and sisters: Nelly, Caddy, Frances and Milley. Since Frances' birthdate is 1866, I presume the mother of these children died between 1866 and 1880. In 1876, Mathew married Zilpha Cooksey in Newton County, Mississippi. Between 1885 and 1889, Mathew and his family moved to Falls County, Texas. Mathew died in Grady County, Oklahoma in 1925. Thanks.
