    1. [LIMEST] McCain, Cooke, Harlan, Garrard
    2. Hi List Folks, Looking to share information with anyone researching the McCAIN families of Ellis County, TX, connected to COOKE, HARLAN or GARRARD families of Robertson, Limestone or Coryell Counties, TX. My great great grandfather, Peter E. McCain and his brother Jacob came to Ellis Co. in 1870's from Marshal Co. AL by way of Red River Co, TX. Peter E. McCain's son Rufus A. McCain married Sophronia Eudora (Dora) GARRARD IN 1876, probably in Ellis Co. She was about 15 years old. They settled in Milford. Sophronia (Dora) Garrard was an orphan whose parents Tom GARRARD and Jane (WILDS) COOKE? had died in a fever epidemic in Calvert, Robertson Co. in 1873. Thomas GARRARD was residing in Springfield, Limestone County at the 1850 census and in Coryell County with wife Jane and the beginnings of their family at the 1860 and 1870 censuses. Jane Wilds was possibly a daughter of Jane HARLAN'S first marriage to Augustus W. COOKE, early settler and first surveyor of Robertson County. When her parents died in 1873, the 11-year-old Sophronia (Dora) was sent to live with relatives in Ellis Co., perhaps a member of the COOKE family? Would anyone know of a connection between Augustus W. COOKE of Robertson Co. and Wilds K. COOKE of Limestone? 1. MCCAIN (b.1790-TN?;d.1830-,TN) sp: Sarah (b.1790-,TN;m.1814;d.1850-,AL) 2. Martha A.

    3. Karen I have a friend who descends from Jane Elizabeth Harlan Cooke Stroud born Dec 1823. As far as I have ever heard she did not have any children with AW Cooke before his death & this info came from the family. She was married to Logan Stroud by 1842 in Robertson Co. TX. I am operating off my laptop because I am between getting a new computer & can not get to all my info. but will print this off & ask my friend for you. Also my Grandmother's sister married one of these Garrard<Jarrard> men in Limestone Co. TX he was William Newton Jarrard. I also have a distant cousin who descends from this line. When I get all my computer things back together will see if I have anything on what you are searching for. Pat Oates in TX.
