Elijah W m 2 " Ky From 1880 to 1889, we know that two more sons were born, Andrew and Calvin. After this Emily "Millie" Burton Cook passed away and was buried at Whitehouse in Johnson County, Ky. Our next record found was at the Johnson County Court House, Paintsville, Ky on November 1, 1889: James Cook of Johnson County, Ky, age 41, being his second marriage. Occupation: Miner. Birthplace: Lawrence County. Mother and Father Unknown. Catherine Sparks of Johnson County, Ky. age 30, being her first marriage. Birthplace of bride; Johnson CO., Ky. Bithrplace of Father: Johnson CO, Ky. Birthplace of mother: Floyd County, Ky.. To Be married at William Sparks on the 1st of November, 1889. The certificate states that the vows where taken on October 31,1989, by W.G. Sparks (Brother of Catherine) at his home in the presence of W.G. Wells and John Gilmore. After this, they must have moved to West Virginia because they did not show up in the 1900 census of Johnson Country, Ky. The 1890 census was destroyed by each state and federal census bureau thinking that each other had preserved their own copy. However, I'm told that some country's have their own copy, but I know Johnson Country does not. |
