SOURCE: PATRICIA WEEKS As to Cook or Cooke, just forget any spelling deviations! Most records were entered by someone other than the person they were noting. That person, the scribe, the priest, the census taker, spelled the name how HE wanted it spelled, and most likely the subject had no idea of how the name should have been spelled anyway.If you are going to quibble about spellings you are going to miss alot of good clues. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SOURCE: Aunt Jenny Cook Brownlow Major in the army, lost a leg in civil war ...debated as to how, if caused by a wound in battle or if due to freezing......in kentucky. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
