Cooks of Knox, Clay and Laurel Cos., KY
On 1-14-2007 I received a reply from someone who identified themself as Navy271 who provided the following information to my query.I will repost my query along with Navy's response below in an effort to discover who Navy is and to see if anyone has any further information regarding Thomas Cook b. 12/25/1791
My Query:
Classification: Query
Surnames: Chick, Cook, Kelly, Martin, Woodson
I am looking for Thomas Chick born possibly in Knox Co., KY 11-13-1826. He married Elizabeth (Cook???) and had:
William Silas b. 11-4-1854 Kym. Lucy F. Cundiff
Amanda Red b. 1855/57 m. Andrew Thomas Kelly
Mary Jane
Jefferson D. m. Jennie Blythe
Charles Wade m. Cynthia Overman, Lucy Cundiff
Robert L. m. Mattie Williams, Maude Roach
Lou Ella m. James R. Mahana.
I have been unable to locate these folks outside Boone Co. Mo. where they are found in census records.
Navy271's response:
Re: Chick, Thomas
Surnames: cook
this may or may not be of any help,but this is what I have . from an old family bible.elizabeth b jan 22,1827,father thomas cook,b 12/25/1791,mother sarah (unk)9/15/1789,born in kent no other info at tins time. Thomas is my ggggrand father.
The above info had no locations listed with it and a search of Ancestry comes up with nothing definative. I have not been able to find out who Navy271 is/was as he/she only posted this one time.An internet search has come up with no results except for one from yahoo in 2001 which appears to be Vietnamese so I am in doubt that it's the same who posted in 2007.
If anyone has further information regarding the 1791 Thomas Cook and family, I certainly would like to hear from you.
My Thomas Chick was the son of Silas of Knox Co., KY.Thomas and Elizabeth had a daughter, Mary Jane who was born 12-23-1859 in Laurel Co., KY.Her birth record lists both parents (Thomas Chick & Elizabeth Cook).This is the only document that I have been able to find which lists Elizabeth's maiden name.Thomas and Elizabeth are found in the 1850 cenus for Knox Co.By 1860, they are living in Boone Co., MO where their other children were born and where Thomas and Elizabeth died.
Thanks
Colleen
