THOMAS COOKE OF
by Jane Fletcher Fiske, FASG
A Genealogy of Thomas
Cooke alias Butcher of Netherbury,
Reviewers say …
The
American Genealogist: “… a brilliant,
well-documented, well-illustrated genealogy.”
National
Genealogical Society Quarterly: “a substantial work of modern genealogical
scholarship … the reader found himself entranced by the biographical details
provided … a well-organized and well indexed set that deserves to stand as a
model for the work of all serious genealogists.”
Many Cook/Cooke lines are carried down to present-day (as of 1987)
12th and 13th generations. Although families of daughters are not
traced, information about their marriages, children, and sometimes
grandchildren, is given.
The family spread over the entire United States – in the 17th
century to New Jersey, with known concentrations ca. 1850 in Texas, Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, and New York State.
A short appendix briefly covers other known early New England Cook
families.
The book is thoroughly documented based on primary research, and
gathers together information from various manuscripts and previously printed
sources on the family. Many
long-standing errors in print have been noted and corrected.
