James Madison Cook of Pike Co., AL. died in Barbour Co., AL. May 21, 1859. I have not researched the Sampson Co., N.C. records. Be sure to see John Thomas Cook's will in Barbour Co., AL. for information on the other family members and his wife, Elizabeth. james.davis@celebration.fl.us

James,

I have a James M. Cook that was a brother of my John E. Cook. They both were born in the early 1820's apparently in Jefferson Co. Ga and migrated to Barbour County, AL and Pike County, AL. Was he the one that migrated to Texas?
I am compiling information on their father James Thomas Cook. I am looking for records in Sampson County, NC. There were several Cooks in Turkey Township in North Carolina but I have yet to been able to correlate them to my John Thomas Cook.

In Pike Co., AL., Martha S. Cook married S. C. Brooks on Dec. 29, 1870; Dannie or Donnie Cook married J. E. Tomberlin on Dec. 14, 1899; Sarah M. Cook married W. A. Tomberlin on March 30, 1884; Mary E. Cook married L. M. Harrell on Nov. 8, 1882.

Will of John E. Cook, et al. Joint Owners Book 2 pgs 425-427
Barbour Co., AL. His will was probated in Barbour Co., AL. on Jan. 24, 1872.

John E. Cook's parents were John and Charity Turner who married in Pulaski Co., GA. July 1, 1819.

I have tried to find a connection of John E. Cook to James Cook who appears in Pike Co., AL. records living at Monticello during the period 1830 to 1840. If you find such a connection, please contact me. james.davis@celebration.fl.us.

Would anyone know the place of burial, either in Barbour County, AL or Pike County, AL (I am not sure if the borders between Pike and Barbour Counties have changed any during the 1850's but Federal Bureau of Land Management records indicate that John T. Cook purchased some land in 1841 on NW 1/4 of SW 1/4 of Sec 10, Township 11N and Range 24E which I believe is near the present day Barbour-Pike border ) of the before mentioned John Thomas Cook who died June 1, 1858?

My G-Grandfathers names is Grover Cook too. I don't have much info on him. Could you please contact me so we can compare info for a possible match.
Thanks so much

Tersa A. Brunson married John on Jan. 10, 1857

Martha Savannah was one of her children by him.
Martha married a Newton J. Brunson first, then married Charles C. Brooks. son of Joel N. Brooks. I descend from Joel and Sammual.

I'm looking to verify John E. Cook's father.

Wayne,

I am a descendant of Grover Cleveland Cook, Martha's younger half-brother.

Thanks for the info. It had been a while since I posted here last, and I have acquired additional info on John Cook's family going back to the 1790s in Sampson Co, NC if interested.
