Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name John Cook  [1
    Born Abt 1825  [1, 2, 3
    • 1850 White Co IL census transcription indicates his age as 35, making the birth year 1815. However, I believe this is a misreading of the original census, or an error by the census-taker. All subsequent census points to a birth year of 1825.
