Possible Descendants of Benjamin COOK

Fifth Generation

54. John ? COOK (Charles , Charles , Thomas ? , Benjamin ) was born in 1812/1815 in prob Clark Co, Kentucky. He died prob bef 1880 in prob Hickory Co, Missouri.

NOTE: There were many Brashears families living near John Cook in Hickory MO. A search for the origin of the Brashears family in 1840 TN led to the location of John Cook living very near them in Lawrence Co, TN 1830 and 1840. He was listed just a few lines below Basil Brashear and next to Charles Cook Senior (probably should be Junior unless he had a son Charles)

NOTE: John's father, Charles, was in Polk Co. Many Brashears from Lawrence, TN were in Benton Co. Polk Co, MO is directly south of Hickory Co. and Benton Co is directly north of Hickory Co. Hickory Co. was formed from Benton and Polk Counties.

Basil and Middleton Brashears and their (possible) Brashears, Breshears, Beshears, Boshears, and other descendants in Lawrence Co, Tennessee; Benton, Polk, Hickory, and neighboring counties, Missouri; the Boise area of Idaho; the Okanagan Valley in Washington; eastern Oklahoma; and a few other places.

Hi,
I just read your post listed with the Hickory County inquiries on the usgenweb site for Missouri.
My great great grandmother is Dorcas Cook, daughter of John Cook and Martha E. I don't know if you would be interested in any of the information that I have on her. She married an Irenas Taylor, then George Zimmerman. Dora (as she was called) and George had a daughter, Sara Catherine, who married a Charles Burch, and they were the parents of my grandmother, Pauline Burch.
I don't have any information about John Cook, his wife or Dora's siblings. This is going to sound pretty unbelievable, but I just found Dora in the census with her family about 10 minutes before I discovered your posting! Genealogy is so much fun : )

Hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Sharon Burch Rash

I got the information from Elmer Edward Ogren who is the grandson of John William Cook. He was my great uncle. He gave me the information he had, but had lost a lot in a fire a few years before. This was about 10 years ago. I have no one else left alive who would have information. As we get older the information passes with the older generations. Sorry not to be of more assistance.

LAWRENCE CO TN QUERIES
MONTGOMERY - Peter H. Montgomery reportedly born July 7, 1834 in Lawrence County, Tennessee. Peter married Catharine McBee in Polk County, Missouri. Peter & Catherine later moved to Newton County, Missouri. I recently found a William Montgomery who lived less than a mile from the McBee family in Polk County, MO. This appears to be the William Montgomery who married a Susannah Cook, Sep 26, 1839 in Lawrence County, Tenn by Jacob Lacforx, J.P. William may have been Peter's brother. I am looking for the Parents of Peter. I am looking into the possibility that Peter's father might have been Thomas Montgomery who reportedly died in 1840 with a will in Will Book 1, 229, Lawrence County Tn.
