  • Notes 

    • In paperwork from a Chancery suit between Elizabeth Cook (Adm. of J. W. Cook, Sr.'s estate) and 2 sons-in-law, John Faulkner (m. Sarah H. Cook) & Elijah Wisdom (m. Mary Jackson Cook), a document dated 4/1842, I uncovered a previously unknown child of Jarrett Cook and his wife, Elizabeth Carter Cook, defendant in the chancery case.

      Transcribed from the document dated 4/30/1842: The defendants, Elizabeth Cook &c lay protestation, not confessing or acknowledging the complainant's bill to be true in such sort, manner and form as the same matters are therein set forth, do demur thereto, and for cause of demurrer shew, that lay(?) complainant's own/are(?) shewing in their said bill, the said Jarret W. Cook is dead, and hath left children and heirs, some of whom it is alleged in said bill, have received advancement of property and money, yet have they not made all the heirs of s'd Jarret defendants and prayed process against them; but have omitted to make Henry Cook a defendant, who intermarried with ELIZABETH COOK, a daughter of said Jarret W. Cook, which Elizabeth has since died, leaving an infant child, likewise since dead; wherefore, and for many other errors and defects in the said bill, the said defendants do demure, and do humbly pray the judgment of this Honorable Court whether they shall be compell!
      ed to make any other further answer thereto, and do also pray to be hence dismissed with their costs, &c. (Signed) A. Buckner & W. McCorkle, atts

      State of Kentucky, Green County, Sct.; This day personally appeared before the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace in and for Green County, Elizabeth Cook, who being duly sworn deposed that the statements made in the within plea are true, so far as made of her own knowledge, and those made from the information of others, she believe to be true. Given under my hand this 30th day of April, 1842. (Signed) Isaac Gibbons, J.P.G.C (end of document)

      Up till now I had no knowledge of this daughter. Now my question is: who is the HENRY COOK ELIZABETH COOK (dec'd d/o Jarrett) married? When/where did they marry? When/where did she & her child die? Jarrett Walthall Cook & his wife Elizabeth Carter Cook had a son named Henry D. F. Cook who married Charity Mouser, so I know he's not the husband of his sister, Elizabeth. Is the Henry Cook who married Elizabeth Cook a cousin? Is he related to the Henry Cook family who settled in the Blue Springs area?

      Jarret & Elizabeth moved with [most] of their adult children from Halifax Co., VA in the early 1800s to Green Co., KY. Jarrett died as the result of an accident when a limb fell on him in prior to 3/1839. His coffin bill (for $6.00, "the p[r]ise of coffin", paid by E. Cook, Adm. of estate) was one of the receipts in the chancery suit packet that I have copies of and the coffin will is dated 9/21/1839, signed by A. Lile.

      If anyone has marriage records for Barren and/or Adair counties (which are/were immediately adjacent to the Green Co. area where Jarrett's family lived), please look for a marriage (prior to 1842, probably about the 1820s) between an Elizabeth Cook & a Henry Cook for me. I'm more inclined to think this Elizabeth & Henry married in Halifax Co., VA, but would like to rule out the possibility of a KY marriage, first.

      Any/all assistance with this "little bundle of joy" is greatly appreciated!

      Be well & God bless,
