Cook-8882 and Cooke-118 appear to represent the same person because: Alton Rogers found in the "silver book for Chiton/More, Mayflower Families Volume 15,Page 34 of Volume 15 lists the children of this family and only lists one daughter Elizabeth, b. ca. 1707." Your profile #8882 more accurately depicts the information for the correct Elizabeth Cooke. A merge is suggested here. Thanks, Kathy
