Notes from 1880 U.S, Census of Carroll Co.,
Georgia, and other sources, added by Charles G. Cooke, who is seeking the
descendants of these Cookes, are summarized as follows:
·
#9 Rowland B. Cooke was living in 1880 with his
mother, Francis Jane (_____) Cooke age 45; but Rowland listed as family
head. It appears he was married at
least twice. Also in the household were
Seamore age 12; Monroe – 10; George W.L. – 6. and Ross B. – 3. The latter is known to have been in
Chickasha in 1927. Perhaps #14 Jamy
Semoure as also in Chickasha. Mr.
Cooke, the contributor, is the grandson of Clayborn I. Cooke b. 1847, the son
of R.B. Cooke of Carroll Co., Georgia and Giles Co., Tenn. Some of these Cooke descendants may be part
Indian—perhaps Chickasaw.
·
George Washington Cooke, a great uncle of the
contributor was in Oklahoma City at one time, 1920-30. He had a son, Henry Roland Cooke connected
with the county Sheriff’s organization – perhaps as a deputy about 1925-40. Henry Rowland’s sister married in Oklahoma
(husband’s name unknown), and their five children lived in Oklahoma City.
Persons named Pitchford in Oklahoma City may also have some
information about these Cookes , and also Mrs. Paul Pitchford in Chickasha,
Oklahoma.
At last report, Mr. Cooke had not been able to obtain any legal
documents from the Grady County Courthouse by correspondence. He does not have dates of death for search
by the Bureau of Vital Statistics.
