Cook was from North Carolina and was made second lieutenant in the sixth infantry on April 24, 1800, and honorably discharged on June 15, 1800. He led the third regiment of troops from Feliciana, and was the leader in the attempt to release De Lassus and Shepherd Brown from prison at Baton Rouge, but he and two of his subalterns were cashiered and ordered to leave West Florida. - Arthur, West Florida , iii, cited, Heitman has little information to add, but is apparently the source of the North Carolina attribution (from Army records).

MEDICAL IMPOSTER
(During the fall of 1810 the following notice appeared in newspapers across the South. York District did not have a newspaper until 1823.)

On the night of the 20th of July last [1810] Dr. David T.W. Cook eloped from his place of residence in the district of York, South Carolina, where he had for some time attempted to palm himself on the public as a Physician and Surgeon. The subscribers, actuated by principles of patriotism and phylantrophy (sic), think it is their duty to make the following statement of facts, for the correctness of which they pledge their reputations for veracity, and every claim to the respect of their fellow citizens at large.

Dr. David T.W. Cooke was raised in the village of Charlotte, North Carolina. After receiving a smattering of education, he obtained through the influence of his friends a subaltern commission in the federal army. While in the army he married an amiable young woman of considerable property in the county of Currituck in the state of North Carolina. After wasting her property and contracting debts to the amount of about $1500, he removed to Franklin County, from whence he eloped in arrears about $1200, leaving his wife with two children and in expectancy of another, to subsist on the bounty of her friends or to perish. His wife and three children are yet living, and obtain their subsistence through the munificence of her affectionate mother.

He next returned to Charlotte, where he spent three of four years in idleness and most wanton dissipation. After contracting debts in Charlotte which he was unable to discharge, he took shelter in York District, South Carolina, and commenced the study and practice of physic. From this place he eloped in July last, indebted not less then $1000. In addition to the audacity with which he incessantly practiced his fraudulent and swindling arts, he has seduced from his friends and business in this district a young man of sobert and industrious habits, by the name of Green B. Hudson. This unfortunate young man has yet to learn that no degree of confidence is to be reposed in a man who is well known never to have possessed the smallest spark of friendship, or any of those agreeable qualifications which constitute the character of a gentleman or good citizen.

Immediately before his flight, Dr. Cooke, under specious but false pretenses, procured certificates, expressive of his medical adquirements, from several respectable citizens of this district, one of whom has affixed his signature to this publication. Doctor Cooke, is of the common size and of very handsome figure. His nose is somewhat aquiline and his complexion florid. His eyes are small, of a light blue and very quick, with an uncommon dimple in his chin. He plays extremely well on the fiddle and is very fond of frolics. He is boastful, impertinent and assuming in company, and withal addicted to drinking.

Notes

"Source: Patrick Stevens: Information from the VMHB. This article on the Footes omits the name of the last child, George, shown here, and he may be the result of a later marriage, as the other children are taken from the parish register.

Richard was appointed Justice of Stafford in 1745. Katherine's name is noted in the register, but is illegible, the author notes. Hord's (op. cit) work is confusing, giving a different wife and children, and makes sense only if Richard moved to Prnce William Co,and remarried. Since he married a close relative, Celia Jane Foote, one tends to believe he had the facts, but his construction is more then confusing between the two versions in the VMHB, without discussion. See the two Richards, both generation #3, on pg 96, 98VMHB. I have adopted this possibility here. Similarly is the difficulty surrounding the two Georges, both generation #3."
