Cook Surname

Clay County, Kentucky

 

USGENWEB site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyclay/clay.html from this page I learned that:

Clay County was formed in 1807 from the Kentucky counties of Madison, Floyd and Knox. Clay county is the parent county to six other Kentucky Counties.

Perry - 1821   Laurel - 1826   Breathitt - 1839 - Owsley - 1843   Jackson - 1858   Leslie - 1878

This is a nice page and worth the visit.

Here's a page full of links for census information!

http://www.concentric.net/~spence1/tim/clay/census/census.shtml But checking the 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840 - I didn't find any COOK families!

But I found:
