To LaDoris and Jeff and anyone else interested in Cooksey. Thomas E. Partlow's WILSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE, CHANCERY COURT RECORDS 1842-1892, has one entry for Cooksey. It doesn't give much information as to the connection between the Corders and Cookseys, but here it is: Petition of Eliza O. Corder against Robert A. Corder, a non resident; J. B. Cooksey, Henry Violet and others of Smith County. Eliza O. Corder intermarried with Robert A. Corder on 24 January 1872. There has been born to this union one child about five months old. They lived peacably until Wednesday the 12th of March 1873 when in the night and without explanation, the said Robert A. Corder abandoned her. She believes he is going to either Ohio or Illinois. The said Robert A. had been married previously. He had one child by that marriage. He took the child, about five years old, with him. She is seeking a divorce. 19 March 1873 (Chancery Book 1872-1873, Pp. 443-446) Hope this helpful, although I can't figure out why she would be suing J. B. Cooksey and Henry Violet and others in a divorce case. These are not my family, just did a lookup for you. Teresa
