Sorry, but I missed the thread this started with, but it jogged a bell in memory. I believe that Cooks ferry used to be located where the present Shippingport bridge is located. I did a search on the USGS site and it pointed to Midland, PA, which is right across the bridge from Shippingport. -- Larry Thompson My genealogy page http://www.epix.net/~lt0168/index.html My Allegheny Co. maps page http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bridge/2338/index.htm
