The marriage of Mary Cook to Hardy Sellers as well as her parent references have been continuously referenced by genealogist from “The Book Of Cooks” which is a book that is now out of print but can be obtained at various Libraries. As far as I know, there is no other documentation been found. Leslie Sellers

Undocumented and unverifiable source to mother whose name is incorrect and being merged into correct profile. Was Mary Cook Sellers a daughter of Abraham and Phebe Mills Cook? Or does she have different parents? Abraham and Phebe already have a daughter named Mary Cook alive at the same time. Needs research to prove she belongs in this family.
