Marie Hilton was my gggrandmother also. My great-grandmother was Ida Mae Abbott Hyatt and my grandfather was Edward Abbott Hyatt. I am trying to connect the dots to attach James David Abbott to Sarah Cooke Abbott, hence to Bryant Cooke, in an attempt to trace my ancestry back to Francis Cooke and other ancestors who came over on the Mayflower. Do you have any information on Sarah Cooke, or any pictures of any of these ancestors? I am also looking for a picture of the hotel that was owned by James David Abbott in Murphy, NC. I have placed photos on Ancestry.com of Marie Hilton Abbott and her children if you are interested.
