Re: Cook Descendants in South Carolina

cmcul8r1 — 2012-05-13 13:52:56Z

I have pretty much most of my family information after they migrated to Missouri. I was maily trying to find out if any of the male offspring in the 1700's had any children that might have stayed in SC.

Thanks anyway and good luck with your family tree.

Carl:

I don't know enough about my Cook to know if any went to Missouri or not so I can't help on that at this point. If I learn anything I will let you know.

Hello there. Sorry, but no. Based on the information I have there were not a "John" in the family line. However, because I have not been able to find any info for any of the male offspring in the 1700's, there could be some connection between your John and my ancestors. My ancestors migrated from the Charleston, SC area to Missouri in the 1835 to 1845 timeframe.

According to the 1880 census of Indianpolis, IN my John B. Cook was born in South Carolina. Date of birth and place illudes me at this time.

I first locate him in 1820 in New Haven, Huron, Ohio. His wife was Julia Ann Brewer. His sons Noah (my great grandfather), William and one other were builder of homes in Washington, Daviiess, Indiana.

Does any of this soound familiar?

Thanks for any help rendered.

Cook Descendants in South Carolina

cmcul8r1 — 2011-12-09 18:06:21Z

I grew up in Kansas City, Mo, but I recently found out that my Cook ancestors came from Christ Church Parish in Mount Pleasant, Charleston County, SC in the 1700's. Information that I have been able to find indicates that my GGGGrandfather was a William Cook that was born 1758. I believe his father may also have been William Cook(e).

I am trying to find any other descendants in the Cook family line that might still live in South Carolina or have migrated to other parts of the country. I am primarily looking relatives other than those descended from Samuel Simons Cook.

I know that you are in search of cecil Cook and I am in search of one of his sons, Lamar Cook. I believe Cecil to be his father. Because of the Marriage License that I have it lists CC Cook as his father and Oneida Cook as his mother. I am hoping that this will be my link to finding Lamar. I am the wife of one of his grand-sons and the daughter in law to his daughter. Could you please help me in locating Lamar. My family is deseparate to find him. I can give more information if needed to verify.

ZadieReagin — 2005-12-15 15:10:16Z

I said earlier message that Cecil Cook was youngest son. That was in error. Calvin Cook is the youngest and he is the one that I remember from my young. I am very sorry if this has caused any problems for anyone.

Re: father

ZadieReagin — 2005-12-15 14:39:06Z

Cecil Cook was my grandmother Annie Elizabeth Cook Pritchard's youngest brother. The information I have is as follows: Augustus Leroy Cook and Annie Elizabeth (Liza) Morrison, m. 12-3-1887 in Thomas County, GA and their children were: Gussie Estelle Cook (dau) b. Sep 1888. She married Oscar Miller. Annie Elizabeth Cook (dau), b. 30 Mar 1890, d. 22 Dec 1986, m. Richard Gilbert Pritchard 6 Dec 1908; Marvin Cook (son), b 1896, Calvin Cook (son); Bessie Cook (dau), b Dec 1894, m. G. M. Hancock; Drucilla Cook (dau), m. Robert M. Hamm; Cecil Cook (son), I believe he was the youngest but I have no other information on him except that I met him a couple of times when I was a young girl. The 1900 Census lists a daughter, Irene with a birthdate of 1898 (age 1) but she is not found in later census. Augustus Leroy Cook is believed to be buried in Pierce Chapel Cemetery between Cairo & Thomasville, GA. I am still researching this family so if you have additional info and don't mind sharing I would appreciate it. I would like to hear from you. Happy hunting.

Re: father

ZadieReagin — 2005-12-14 11:58:38Z

Kathleenmarcucc — 2005-04-18 08:24:43Z

I'm looking for information on Merriman Cook and his wife Elizabeth who are from the Skaneateles, Onondaga, New York area. The approximate year of birth for Merriman is between 1803 and 1805. Elizabeth was born about 1809/1810 in Skaneateles, Onondaga, New York.

Their children are:
Volentine or Yolentine b abt 1837
Benjamin b abt 1838
Fidelia b abt 1841
William b abt 1843
David b abt 1845
Francis b abt 1846
Edward b abt 1848
Henry b abt 1850
Charles b abt 1851
Royal b abt 1853
Elizabeth b abt 1855

Source: 1860 US Federal Census, Skaneateles, Onondaga, New York.

In the 1880 Census, 5th Ward, Syracuse, Onondaga, NY it states the Merriman is 76. carpenter and is living with his daughter Elizabeth who is 23 and a dressmaker. Merriman is listed as having parents who were born in Massachusetts, but I have no names for his parents.

His neighbors are Fedelia Horton, his daughter and Royald/Royal Cook. Fedelia is a widow with two sons named George and Eugene and a daughter named Hattie. Royal is also married to a lady named Rosa with a daughter named Mamie aged 3.

If you possibly have any further information on this family, please contact me. I am trying to learn more about this branch of my family tree.
