General Notes: Husband - James Cook


He was born in Ireland, and was fourteen years of age when brought to America by his parents, who first located east of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They subsequently moved to Lawrence County and became owners of 150 acres of timber land in Little Beaver Township. Both of his parents died on this place at advanced ages. James Cook assisted in clearing the home place, only nine acres of it being cleared at the time it was acquired, and there he grew to maturity. He was a mechanical genius and successfully prosecuted various trades at different times, including carpentering, blacksmithing and stone masonry, but the greater part of his time was spent in agricultural pursuits. With his sister, Jane, he inherited the home place and for some years he lived in the old log house on the farm, a two-story structure, but later he erected a brick residence.
