 Valentine Cook and Family.This is from U.S. Census of 1860 for Wallace Township, Independence County, State of Arkansas. Valentines wife's name should probably be spelled Harriet as you can see on the 1870 census (See Below). Note that their son Charles M. Cook was 3 years old, therefore born about 1856 or 57 in Arkansas. Note in the listing for Valentine Cook's family includes the name Christopher Askins, age 23. Also a Stewart family on same census page was left for possible future study of the Stewart relatives. |
