Research Notes

Cook Family History Philip and Mary Cook were from Lincoln, North Carolina, USA. Philip's father is possibly John Cook. To this marriage 6 known children (infant, John, Mary, Christopher, Joseph and David). Many land records are documented from 1771-1822 in Lincoln, NC.

Mary married Jacob Hauser, died in Knox, TN

Christopher married Anna Wise

Joseph married Polly Sepaugh

David married Emaline Goodwin

In the early 1830's David, John and Christopher Cook came to Indiana from NC. It is believed these 3 Cook's could possibly be brothers. They traveled together, bought land and raised their families in the same area. In that era, it was tradition to name children after relatives. These 3 Cooks used many of the same names of their children. Due to the type of records kept in those days and in conjunction with the fact that many could not read or write; land records and census records are the main sources of identifying these families.

Christopher bought his first land on Nov 25, 1830; John bought some in 1842 and David bought land on Sept 2, 1833. Between 1833 and 1845, these 3 Cook's continued to buy land in the same area. This land was in Washington Township, Morgan County, Indiana.

David died in 1845, John died on Feb 11, 1846 and Christopher died in Aug 1847 in Morgan County, Indiana. Christopher is buried in Townsend cemetery located in range 1-E of Washington Township,Morgan County, Indiana. This is on the property that David bough on Sept 2, 1833. it is believed that all three brothers are buried there, as well as other family members. An outbreak of Asiatic Cholera about that time took many lives.
