Surnames: Coon Cook Stover Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jEC.2ACI/983 Message Board Post: George Coon, son of original Seth settler Adam Coon, died in Salem, Va. in Confederate service. His widow, Eliza, married important Boone Co. settler Floyd Cook, grandson of first Wyoming Co. settler John Cook in Kanawha Co., 1864. This was Floyd's second marriage (first to Mary Catherine Walker, who had died). Kanawha marriage record gives Eliza's parent as "Mary Stover." Eliza would have been born around 1831, and she and george Coon would have married around 1849. Does anyone know the ancestory of this Eliza Stover? Coon Cook? One researcher said he thought she was from Grayson Co. Va, but I find no Stovers there. I also can't find George and Eliza's marriage record--perhaps burned with the courthouse during the war? Any ideas appreciated. Dan Kuhn, Bx 323, Cool Ridge WV 25825
