Cornelia, Your posting of this Birthday list has helped me tremendously in finding information on my Cookson family. I am related to the 4 Cookson's on the list. Percy Cookson, husband of Stella Palmer, was the brother to my great Grandfather. Their only two children, Linn Palmer and Camille La Rue, are on the list also, who both died within two months of eachother in their early twenties. You may already know about this book, but the following link is the pages of a book on the history of Macoupin County, IL, and it has a LOT of info on the Palmers.

I would appreciate any info on the Cooksons, if you happen to have come across any in your researching these families. my email is
