Sebron Cook, 1925-1899, Unknown Connection
Sebron Cook is the father of Amos Cook. While Amos is buried at Bethlehem Cemetery, Wickliffe, Ballard County, KY, it is unknown if there is a connection to my own Jefferson Davis Cook who is also buried at Bethlehem. I am hoping to flush out this Cook family to prove or disprove a connection. I am offering up all the information that I have found on this family.Timeline:
