Sarah,
Thanks for the reply.I am trying to track a different Larkin Cook, who was born May 1782 in Wilkes Co., North Carolina.His parents were Abraham Cook and Elizabeth Cass/Cast, who married July 17,1781, in Wilkes Co., NC.This was a third marriage for Abraham and he may have been as much as 40 years older than Elizabeth.
At least two of the Cast/Cook children move to the Jay/Wayne Co area of Indiana.They were Amy, who married Abednego Sanders/Saunders, and Richard.
The family seems to have had Quaker roots and I suspect that Abraham came from Pennsylvania down the Quaker Trail into Virginia and then North Carolina.
It is interesting that there were two Larkin Cooks of roughly the same age.I wonder if Abraham was part of your Cook family in Pennsylvania.
Thanks again.
Janice
