Cook notes from "History of Pittsylvania County"-p. 46 Harmon Cook who purchased large tractsof land on Tomahawk Creek and Pigg River, was a colonizer who brought in many families from Pennsylvania in the latter part of the century. Cook petitioned the General Assembly of Virginia in 1788 for a town tobe established on his lands in Pittsylvania, "at the forks of the roadsleading from Houlston to Pennsylvania and Petersburg," stating that many traders had already settled there. Young Abram Rohrer, son of Abram Rohrer, a native of Switzerland, followed Cook from Pennsylvania to Virginia, and marrying Cook's daughter, founded the Rorer family of the county. The will of Harmon Cook was recorded May 21,1810. He bequeathed his property to his three sons, John, Harmonand Abraham Cook; and to his daughters, Catherine Wright, Mary Razor,and Nancy the wife of Abram Rorer. p.48 As the line of settlement moved westward, it became necessary to divide the old counties and form new ones and in February 1745 the General Assembly created Lunenburg County and on May the 5th Abraham Cooke among others took the oath of justice of the peace. The will of Abraham Cooke is recorded in Lunenburg County in 1748 naming wife Sarah, and sons Charles and Benjamin. p.99 John Cook was appointed captain of the militia during the years 1767 to 1770 [S107] Family Histories, https://www.ancestry.ca/boards/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=4296&p=surnames.cook.
