I would love to know more about her family. I met a sister of hers maybe Daisy or Hildred that look like her twin could some one tell me more. I'm in tears thank you.

She was married to Gould Adams and I would like information on him as well.

Thanks so much "Polly" Paula Mae Adams Orf

Although I only met my Aunt Susan a few months ago, she deeply touched my heart. I am the daughter of her half brother Wyatt H. Lockman in which she had been searching for nearly 15 years. Before she passed away, Susan and my father finaly met in person late-January; I then met her in-person late February. We had many long talks over the phone...I miss her! I didn't know her long, but I will never forget her. Susan, my dad and I love you! Nina Lockman Stowers

It is with great sorrow that Susan E. Richmond died April 5, 2009 from bteast cancer. She fought a great fight against this terrible disease since December 2006.
Susan was a lovely lady and a friend of my wife and I.
She will be sorely missed by my family. She visited us last year and spent the night with us. To us her loss is a personal loss.
We are all indebted to her for her efforts in building West Virginia Road Builders.

Comments:
I was active with this website a few years ago but lost contact. Who keeps it up now???

My grandmother, Vernila Cook Adams, was the daughter of William Sherman Cook.

William Sherman Cook, supposedly, left WV to work the mines in VA and was killed. I received an email a few years ago from a John Cook saying that oral family tradition has it that his grandfather, Rev. Harry Ingram Cook ( brother of WSC) had found the grave but he didn't know where.

Is the John Cook that emailed me still around? Does anyone have any info about this?

Also, I have always seen WSC death date as 1908 but I found him on the 1910 census living next door to his brother. Does anyone have the 1908 documentation of his death???

One more question....is there a Cook(e) reunion this year??

Hi there I believe somewhere's down the line you are probably my cousin! William Harrison Gunnoe and Mary Jane Clay are my great great grandparents. I've been searching myself for manyyyyy lost family members whether it be ones I knew of or did not. I found your site through Linda Gunnoe's site I have yet to reach her the e-mail address on her site is no longer valid. You have done a wonderful job with this site and the really weird part is that my immediate family and I all still live in either Virginia or Martinsburg WV. I would love to speak with you or just aout anyone (ha ha) for that matter. Just so you know who I am........... William and Mary Jane..... Mary Artie Gunnoe Lilly (great grandmother)....... Dixie Lee Lilly Nolton Cornwell (Grandmother)....... Debra L. Nolton Lauck (Mother) and then there's ME! Alicia M. Nolton Naumann....... I figure with all I have seen on this site that was the easy one to figure out! haha Please at any time e-mail me myaasha1@yahoo.com
Hope you and all are doing well is this wonderful new year!

Hello: Today is the first day of Spring, however here in Nova Scotia we are having freezing rain and my spring flowers are in a fit. I have been searching for the parents of Joseph Cook/e for years, his son Richard was born 1810 in Nova Scotia. Early years, 1800s many N.S. people went to U.S.A. to live, no passports were required.(g). Just wonder if you have any Nova Scotia people in your Cook/e Tree. When I saw History of Dutch Church in Halifax, I wondered what the connection is to your Cook/e families.A great site, enjoyed the pictures.

Hi, I did a search on my Father's name and found your website

I am the son of John Arley Lyons Jr. and
Carol, I guess that would make us cousins?

My parents divorced when I was 7 months old, I never knew my Father or have any memories of him, as a result, there was a huge gap for me as far as family history goes, your site fills it in more than I could have ever imagined, Thank you very much for it.

I tried to send you an email but it bounced

I am a descendant of John Cooke, via Thomas, James Wilson, Newton Isaac, Luvena to my mom, Norma Goode. We are a branch that returned to VA proper to farm in Alleghany County. I would like to get more information on my cousins, and try to validate the story of indentureship that John and Nellie endured. One story is that John's parents sold him into indenture, other stories vary some, with the dates pretty much holding true. I am not an expert with genealogy by a long shot, but I would be willing to compile the information I have on my part of the family tree.

My husband (Johnnie Cook) is a direct descendant of ISAIAH COOK (B. 1791 in Yancey or Burke Co., NC & D.1891 in Union Co., GA) & his wife, SARAH EMINGTON POTEET (B.1799 in Buncombe Co., NC & D. 1874 in Clay Co., NC)

Their children were: John Grant Cook, Nancy Sarah Cook, Lucy Caroline Cook, ANSEL (OR ANCELL) MONTREVILLE COOK, and Barnard Rufus Cook.

Ancell Montreville Cook, b. 1821 in Haywood Co., NC & d.1903 in Union Co., GA is my husband's line.

Many of these folks migrated to Union, Fannin and Gilmer Co., GA; then on to Howell & Douglas Co., MO; and ultimately to OK.

Isaiah & Sarah's descendants have been trying to ascertain who Isaiah's parents and siblings were...any information in that quest will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

My first Halsey ancestor in Wyoming Co was Henry Drury Halsey 1832-1892. Andrew Halsey 1882-1960 was my grandfather, Earl Halsey 1910-1988 was my father. Sarah Elizabeth Farley daughter of John Harrison Farley and Martha Emaline Brinegar was my grandmother.
I have another Cook ancestor, Martha Ann Cook, but I have recently traced her to a Summers County line and further traced that line back to German immigrants whose name originally was Koch.

Great site! I've been researching my maternal grandmother's line and while doing a search on Nellie Pemberton found you. My grandmother's name is Carrie Lillian Cook. I recently came across an old W.Va newspaper in her box of momentos dated August 27, 1948 and there was a large series of articles on the Cook family reunion with some info on our vast lineage. Some of the information is a little conflicting with what I've found here, but it's been fun dipping into a little of my family's history. I'm beginning to see some familiar traits and patterns in my current family that seem to mirror this fascinating bloodline. Thank you for this wonderful site!

Hi! I don't know if you remember me or not, because it's been years since we were in touch. I used to be Dana Cooke, but I divorced and am no longer really a part of the family. I do keep tabs and do research, though, because my daughter is a Cooke and very interested in genealogy right now. Anyway, I just wanted to drop by and say hello.

Mary Jamison Bailey married Thomas White. The daughter Lucinda White married Levi Comer. Their daughter Caroline Princess "Carrie" Comer married Wiley Cephas Smith (and later Jessie Rogers). They were my grandmother Blake's parents.

Lucinda and Levi had Caroline, Louisa Ann, John C. Blanche and William Augustus.

Wiley Cephus Smith and Caroline had Vivian Martha (my grandmother), Elbert Wiley, General Lee (name only), William Verner, Myrtle Oretha (Honeker), Lillian Lucinda, Elmer Chepas, Catherine Marie, Bertha Olive (Shutt), and Ernest Lewis.

Grandma Vivian married Nolen Maxel Blake and they had Katherine Elizabeth (Uhl), Norma Jean (Brown), Nancy Carol (Wood), Sandra Kay (Painter), and Nolen Charles Blake (deceased).

Nolen was my father. He married Cheryl Rea Hurley, now O'Roark from Deepwater Mtn area.

I have a sister Veronica Lucas.

Mom, sis and I all live in Georgia now. Everyone listed was born in WV.

I can't find anything on my mom's side of the family...

My 4th Paternal Greatgrandmother's mother, Rebecca, was a Mitchell.
My 6th Paternal Greatgradmother was "Martha Patsy Clay" married
to David Woodall. Somehow the Boyd name has been passed down in
the Woodall family. I am trying to find the source and confirm
them.

I live in Georgia, but am orginally from West Virginia.

I am decended from Mitchell Clay, through his son, John T.Clay, and then his son, Cjarles Clay, who married Caroline Stover in Raleigh, Virginia, on 1-9-1844 by Matthew Ellison, Pastor of Coal Marshes Baptist Church. Charles and Caroline left Raleigh and went to Lawrence County, Kentucky. Their daughter, Virginia Elizabeth Clay was my Great-Grandmother. She married Carter Estep in Boyd County, Kentucky in 1880. They settled into Cabell County, West Virginia. Their Daughter, Edith Estep married my Grandfather, Roy William Flamont, who was my Grandfather. I would like to chat with people who know more about Caroline Stover's side or anyone who wants to just say hello. Thanks. Roy.

Hello, I recently lost my fatherinlaw, and through a google search I came across the musing- "Going down town with Grampa". It was amazing to see my husbands grandfathers name. I related quickly to the story of Bruno Bartucca's shoe shop. I am very interested in any stories that may still be remembered. If there is anything else we can share about his journey to massachusetts . Gratefully, Katherine Bartucca
