Boy Vince, that took some doing to get those Kookers straight. Thanks for doing the the hard work! I had the same problem with that family, always thinking there were 2 Jacob Kookers and trying to figure them out. One was from the Upper Bucks area and had something to do with a hotel and the other was down the line a bit more. Thanks for the additional info on the Urians too. Are our Kookers still the ones who merged with the Michener family then? It's wonderful :) to live in an area where so many have the same last and first names. Almost as tough as the Isle of Man to figure out. Lin On 05/28/12, Vincent E.

When the joint "person" took on a characteristic of bigamy, I began to realize something was wrong. My cousin's Carrie Kooker married only twice, not four times, and was of the lineage of Thomas & Lovina KOOKER. She was born 1860 and had Ada M. Urian by a legitimate husband, William A. Urian, not some fly-by-night soldier as family lore had indicated. These KOOKER families crossed geographical borders, primarily between Bucks and Philadelphia counties, though Hunterdon County and Camden County, NJ were involved, as were Richardson and Pawnee County in Nebraska.

I'm happy to send what I have to you if you'd like it, Lin. In a nutshell, Jacob was the father of quite a few, including Samuel and Thomas. Thomas had Carried in 1860. She married William A. Urian and, 2ndly, James Russell. Samuel had Cassie, who seems to have been the mother of Carrie, illegitimately, in 1868, likely by William Henry Harrison Griffith. Carrie married Michener, and then Worthington -- probably, though only established circumstantially -- Jesse Worthington, some years after the demise of Carrie's Aunt, Ella.
