Excellent discussion gentlemen, thank you. My direct line of the Cook family owned a farm about a mile and a half southeast of the town of Dillsburg in Carroll twp., York Co., Pa. Dillsburg was occupied twice by the Confederates who ruthlessly pillaged the town and raided farms throughout the area including ours. John Cook (1813-1889) owner of the Dillsburg farm at the time, was fortunate and smart enough to foresee what was coming. He moved all of his livestock, a neighbors horses and the women and children of several families, all were hidden up on Round Top Mountain from where our farm sits on the southern slope. John Cook had good intelligence, he knew which areas the Confederates were "raiding" at any given time and when it came their turn to be searched, that's when he moved everything up the mountain for the day and it worked they were never discovered.
