I now have a good enough grip on the KOOKER, WORTHINGTON, URIAN, and related groups, to know they are the ones I have been seeking. I have 1850 for Samuel KOOKER, 1870, 1880, and for the remnants of his family, 1900. I have the names of many of his children - but curiously, not the main one of all - the one who is the connection to my cousin. Also, I am interested in how the WORTHINGTON family ties in to KOOKER, and to which of Samuel's daughters it may be. It was the WORTHINGTON name that even enabled me to put together a picture of what was going on... Jesse WORTHINGTON was apparently already widowed, shortly after marriage. He had two KOOKERs listed (partly erroneously) as sister-in-law, and mother-in-law, though the census said he was single. It also said he had a daughter. But I guess some times they would list single instead of widowed. He is listed at the home of another Jesse WORTHINGTON in 1880, but, sadly, he is listed as nephew - or - likely not with his parents because of death, etc. So I am hoping someone can find the 1848 born Jesse of Bucks with his parents in 1870. Long-winded explanation? I know it. But this whole problem has been long-winded! He was born 1848 and died 1924... Thanks, Vince Summers
