My niece is currently serving in the U.S. Navy and this is her lineage. I am hoping to encourage her with some information and documents about her own lineage...hoping to get back to her Civil War and possibly even Revolutionary War ancestors, but not without someone's kind help.
Martha Cook-Cooke was born June 1867, or so her census data shows in the 1900 census when she was still married to her husband, Clayton or Clayburn A. Cook who died between 1900-1910 when she shows up a widow.
1900-1920 she can be found in Pulaski County, Kentucky.
Then, in the 1930 census, I find her living with her widowed daughter, Rowena Cook-Sneed in Rhea County, Tennessee.
Her son, Cyrus Marion Cook, also moved to Rhea County, Tennessee, so it is highly likely that this is where Martha Cook died.
I am currently stone walled at the husband's line as well as Martha's. For Martha it is because I can not determine her maiden name or even when and where she married Clayton/Clayburn Cook. Some family history says that the surname originally was spelled Cooke.
Items I am willing to pay for, on behalf of my niece:
Death record
Obituary
Photo of headstone at cemetery, along with Cemetery name and location of headstone within that cemetery, for proper citation, which would make the photo a type of document.

Thank you for your help, and considering the encouragement to a current patriot.
