• Notes

  RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Reviewed 24 Oct 2003 Rootsweb.com Worldconnect. Two WC entries show middle initial as J., a birth of approx. 1860, and a marriage to William Cook with very little other info. James Hook in his book referenced below mentions name as Adelaide which may be a long version of Lydia; however, I have not seen the name Adelaide used in my documentation below. 2.
