Sandy has been stuck for over six years on this Cook family. Does anyone have any info? There seems to more than one Jasper Newton Cook in the 1800's and on the death certificate for Jefferson Davis Cook - Newton is listed as Jefferson's father. We know of no connections to Sandy's Cook line but it is interesting to note that there is a Jasper Newton Cook listed in 1850 in the Jackson Purchase Area of KY. I'm sure that both Sandy and I would be grateful for any clues. Pat

1850 census, Bledsoe Co. Tn

Phoebe COOK

b ABT 1801 N.C.
d between 1850 & 1860 TN (probably Bledsoe Co.)

probably the mother of the following children who were living in household with her at that time:

Oscar COOK m. Nancy Thurman b. ABT 1834 TN d. ? TX
James A. COOK b. ABT 1838 TN d. ?
Alpheus COOK (Sandy's gr grandfather) b. 3/4/1843 TN d. 1/12/1917 Cresson (Johnson Co.) TX

Possible siblings or relatives

Jasper Newton COOK m. Aletha Woodward b. ABT 1825 TN d. ?
Orrinda COOK m. John L. MARSH (Rhea co. TN) b. 3/14/1827 d 11/23/1873
Bromby/Brumley? COOK

James A. and Alpheus COOK served in the Confederacy Co. F, 6th TX Calvary. Alpheus was erroneously listed as killed.

Alpheus m. 1st... Lula (Louisiana?) TUCKER

Benjamin Clarence COOK b. MS
Edward A. COOK b. MS m. 2nd...Cornelia Ann Loutheria DOUGLASS ( Sandy's gr grandmother) they had too many children to mention here. (over 10)

Sandy's grandfather was Jasper Newton Cook who wasn't born until 1880's, but he
was a namesake of the Jasper Newton Cook who was in Rhea or Bledsoe County, TN. She thinks he was still there on 1860 and 1870 census .

The line Sandy descends from and is actually researching is Alpheus Cook, b.
approx 1843 in TN (my gr grandfather). I feel that the Jasper Newton Cook living in
the next house on the 1850 census has to be a relative (older brother?) because Alpheus named my grandfather Jasper Newton Cook. Sandy knows of one other (J.N. Cook) who applied for a pension in Texas.

Sandy did find a Cook Cemetery in either Maury County Tn. or near Duck River that might have had some Newton Cooks. Is anyone familiar with a Tennessee Cook Cemetery in Maury County?
