Hi, I would like to connect with anyone doing research on either of these two families. William Cook and his family arrived in America in 1832 and went direct to Armstrong County, PA. He was from Donegal County, Ireland. There were other Cook families who already lived in Armstrong County, but I have never been able to determine whether they were related or not. Here is the descendancy chart for William Cook. This is about all I have on his family at the present time. They lived in Cowanshannoock Township and I believe William helped form St Michael's church in that area. Some of William's children eventually moved to Modoc County, California. ========== 1-- William Cook-4 (1796-1863) sp-Isabella-5 (1796) 2-- Margaret Cook-6 (1827) sp-George Stockdale-124 (aka Stockdill) 2-- Elizabeth A.

I am also looking for more information on this family. Some of William Hall's children also moved to Modoc County, California. 1-- William Hall-13 (1798-1871) sp-Mary-14 (1798-1858) 2-- Joshua Hall-15 (1826-1895) sp-Sarah (Sally) A.
