MY COOK FAMILY
This is according to the work of Denver Yoho of Ohio. These papers turned up in my search for the Family of Berryman Knight of NC and Cabell co Wv. If anyone can help me go farther back or tie these Cooks to the other Cook Families in Nc I would like to hear from you.
These Cooks lived on Belews Creek in NC, at the edge of Stokes, Forsyth, Guilford, and Rockingham cos.
Father of Henry Cook was Cornelius Cook the second.
Henry Cook born about 1740
Died about 1822
married Elizabeth Angel
children of Henry and Elizabeth Cook were;
George Cook married Nancy Benifield
Ann Cook married William Knight
Cornelius Cook married Susan Crum (maybe " Suckey Crim" 1812)
Judy Cook married Berry Angel
Charner Blake Cook Married Margarett McCaleb
According to Yoho papers,Henry also had two other sons, Daniel and Henry by a former marriage.
According to the 1759 Rowen co. tax list there was a Cornelius Cook and a Charles Angel in that county.I would venture to guess this would be Cornelius the second, father of Henry, and Charles,father of Elizabeth Angel.
The Families can be found later in Rockingham Co. in 1809 as Cornelius is a witness on a deed between John Warren State of Ohio and Gideon Pegram,county of Guilford,NC.
Many of the Families are found after 1800 in Stokes Co. NC.
