Generation: 1

  1. 1.  John Cook was born in 1803 in Pendleton Co., Va/Wv; died on 28 Feb 1866 in Jacksonville, Lewis Co., Wv.

    Notes:

    Source is AAF FGR 17 in file. From copy of records compiled by Roy Bird Cook
    and sent to Mary Elizabeth Bird of Omaha, NE, in Dec. 1930. Mary Elizabeth
    Bird is the granddaughter of Andrew Jackson BIrd and wife Emily Cook and
    daughter of George Johnson Bird and Laura Alice Crouch who lived in IL, later
    Omaha, NE. Mary Elizabeth Bird was born on 27 Oct 1883 at Carthage, IL. Mary
    Elizabeth loaned these records to Amanda Arbogast Forbes in May 1966. The John
    Cook records continue......when Bell laid off the town of Monterey in 1847 it
    was but a small cleared farm, on a road where another primitive road joined to

    go down the valley to Franklin. It was the only opening in the woods between
    the two Straight Creeks, branches of the South Branch of the Potomac. John Cook
    and his wife Catherine Arbogast at the time of the formation of Highland
    County, VA, (1847), lived in a large log hewn house of two stories and an "ell"
    that stood by a never failing spring on a site just back of the law offices of
    C. P. Jones in Monterey, on a corner opposite the present Court House. On 20
    May 1847, the Justices of the new county met at his house and organized the
    government of the new county. Court continued to meet until a court house was
    constructed, and Cook was granted a tavern license at the first session. He
    continued to run a hotel in this building until the summer of 1858.

    John is the son of John and Mary Ann or Elizabeth (Varner) Cook

    John married Catherine Arbogast about 1825 in Not Found. Catherine (daughter of George Arbogast and Catherine Yeager) was born about 1801 in Crabbottom, Highland Co., Va; died about 1852 in Monterey, Highland, Virginia, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
