    1. [Q-R] Elinor Cook - 1mo. 29, 1714
    2. Bob Cooke
    3. I recently came across a list of "Certificates Received At Chester Monthly Meeting" 1681-1750, in the "Literary Era," Jan. 1898, Vol. 5, page 377, with two certificates of interest. I think ACM edited the list. No. 64, "Joseph Helsby and wife, dated 9mo. 26, 1711, from our Monthly Meeting held at Newton, Cheshire, England" I've found some references that a Joseph Helsby may have known Peter Cook, more over they may have collaborated on traveling to America and may have made arraignments to stay with Joseph upon arrival in 1713. I have no proof, but it would help explain the relative ease with which Elinor, now a widow, and the children had after arriving without Peter. No. 99 "Elinor Cook, 1mo. 29, 1714, from Frandley Monthly Meeting, Cheshire, England." Does anyone know if these listings mean there are actual certificates? If it is possible to get copies, who would I contact? Thanks, Robert Cooke
