Additional notes: John Mallory Land retrofit@flash.net Karen, I am including below exerpts from register reports on several families that have connections to McCOOKs in Chattahoochee Co, GA. The first is definitely your family, and the other two quite possibly kin. I am interested in information on the descendants you mentioned as living in north Florida. Also, my questions regarding the data below: 1) How is Wright McCOOK who m. Rumahah WILSON kin to Joshua R. McCOOK? Note that two of Rumahah's children by her husband John L. HARP married children of Joshua. 2) Is Joshua R. McCOOK below the same as Joshua Ryle McCOOK? If so, and Elizabeth "Betsey" RYALS is the correct maiden name for the second wife of Edmund CULPEPPER, is Joshua somehow kin to Betsey? Note that one of Betsey's grandchildren from her presumed first marriage to WILLIAMS was named Joshua. Also, Joshua R. McCOOK's son John C. F. McCOOK m. Annie WILLIAMS - is she kin to Betsey's first husband? 3) Is Edmund CULPEPPER's first wife Hester McCOOK kin to Joshua R. McCOOK (and if so, how)? Note that she married Edmund in Wilkinson Co, the same county where Wright McCOOK was born and where Betsey's children by WILLIAMS were born, as well as where Joshua R. McCOOK's wife Sarah KING was born. Hope this helps - further information appreciated. John Mallory Land
