Can anyone tell me who Diana's parent's were and who she is married to? She is referenced to as a "daughter-in-law" of John Cook (1796-1864) in Bear Creek, Dallas Co., Iowa. John and his first wife, Mary Furnas (1796-1830) had five sons of six children and with John's second wife Anna Sumner (1803-1869) two sons reached maturity. There doesn't appear to be any available sons for Diana to marry... the closest link I can see, is Diannah Cox the wife of Robert Cook, b. June 25, 1818, but she doesn't have anything to do with this... Thanks, Robert

I see "Deenah" Cox daughter of Harmon and Martha of Hendricks County, married Robert Cook, son of John and Mary Cook of Marion County, married 9-24-1840 under the care of Fairfield Meeting, Indiana. In 1846, Robert and Diana Cook and children Harmon, John, and Joseph transfer to Sugar Plain Meeting, Indiana. Robert dies there in 1852. In 1853, Diana Cook and children Harmon, John, Joseph and Ezra transfer from Sugar Plain to Fairfield, and Fairfield Meeting endorses the certificate on to White Lick Meeting, Indiana. At Sugar Grove Meeting House, under the care of White Lick Meeting, on 8-23-1855, Diana Cook, daughter of Harmon and Martha Cox, married Joshua Newlin, son of John and Esther. In the spring of 1857, Plainfield Meeting, Indiana, was set off from White Lick Meeting. The fall of that same year, Joshua and Diana Newlin and her children Harmon, John, Joseph, and Ezra Cook transferred membership to Bear Creek Meeting, Iowa. I am interested in Harmon Cook and his descendants because his wife was Lucinda Mills, a gg grand-daughter of Daniel and Mary (Humphrey) Williams. He was, among other things, part of the Underground Railroad, and a soldier in the Civil War. My notes on Harmon Cook are here: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=treadway&id=I13393 and my work on the descendants of Daniel and Mary Williams is here: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=treadway&id=I3620 If you are a descendant of Harmon Cook, I'd love to have your help in bring his branch of this tree up to date! -- Dan Treadway P.
