[Scott County] [Georgetown City and Precinct] ROBERT COOK, Junior; P. O. Georgetown. The father of our subject was Robert Cook, Senior; he was born in Port Royal, Va., on March 10, 1782, and was a small boy when he came here with his widowed mother; her husband who was a native of England and a carpenter by trade, having died in Virginia. His mother settled within two and a half miles of Georgetown, and, as she was poor, he worked hard and purchased a tract of land consisting of one hundred acres, of one Asa Stone, an old Indian hunter; this tract was situated on McConnell's Run. He married on Sept. 15, 1810, to Miss Sarah Curry, a neighbor, who was born Oct. 17, 1791. She bore him twelve children, ten of whom grew up to maturity. He died in 1873, being in his ninety-second year; she followed four years later; both were members of the Christian Church.
