Notes:

Isaac came from Tennessee around 1828. He owned and operated Low's Ferry at the mouth of Low's Creek and the Sabine River during the days of the Republic. He was said to be the son of Aquilla Low.

The information on this family group sheet was obtained from Debra Booth, 1418 High Meadow Circle, Garland, Texas 75040

There was also an article about the Low Family in STIRPES, a publication of the Texas State Genealogical Association, in their December 1996 issue.

Isaac married Elizabeth Parsons on 25 Sep 1804 in Anderson County, Tennessee. Elizabeth was born on 25 Feb 1787 in Virginia; died on 4 Jul 1860 in Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The daughter of Thomas M. Parsons and Margaret Hickman.

Notes:

Thought to be a son of Drury COOK and Druscilla COLLINGSWORTH, and a brother to William COOK, who married Temperance MORRIS, a sister to Greenberry's wife, Nancy MORRIS. Rocky Wright believes a third brother, Thomas, settled in Pike County, Mississippi.

In 1803, GREENE COOK witnessed a deed of Ed Moore and wife Rebecca Moore Cook in Clarke County, Georgia.

In 1805, GREENE COOK served on a jury in Clarke County, Georgia.

In 1811, GEENBERRY COOK was one of six legatees of William Cook, all of the state of Georgia, who sold 75 acres to Joshua Cook.

GREENBERRY COOK volunteered in 1812 in Mississippi and after serving 6 months of service was honorably discharged in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in December 1812. He also served under Capt. John Bond January 3, 1815 until April 2, 1815.

It is believed GREENBERRY COOK moved to the Rio Hondo lands ca 1820. He served as the road overseer in Natchitoches, June 2, 1829.

At the time of the 1850 Sabine Parish census, Green and Nancy were living next door to 43 year old Greenberry Cook, his wife Frances, and their four children. This was not his son Greenberry Morris Cook, who was married to Rebecca Low. It was most likely his nephew, likely the child of William Cook. That Greenberry Cook died before the 1860 census and is buried in the Antioch Cemetery in Sabine Parish. (Casagranda, 1850 Sabine Parish Census, p. 74)

The 1840 Natchitoches, Louisiana Census lists a household of 14, consisting of one free white male between the age of 50-59 (therefore born bet. 1781 and 1790) and one free white female between the age of 60-69 (born bet. 1771 and 1780), and 12 slaves, 6 male and 6 females, with half of the slaves being under the age of 10

There was a Green Cook who was the head of a household in Lawrence, Mississippi at the time of the census enumerations in 1820 and 1830 for Lawerence County, Mississippi. It is not known if this is the same Green Cook that later lived in Louisiana, but the household makeup appears to fit.

The makeup of the household in Lawrence County was as follows:

1820
Head of Household
Greenberry Cook
Free White Males
Under age 10-One
Bet 10-15-Two
Bet 16 and 18-Two
Bet 16-25-One
Bet 26-44-One (born bet. 1776 and 1794)
Free White Females
Under age 10-One (Drucilla, b. 1802)
Bet 26-44-One (born bet. 1776 abd 1794)

1830
Head of Household
Greanberry Coop/Cook
Free White Males
Under age 5-One (Shelby Holmes Cook, b. 1817?)
Bet 15-19: One (Greenberry Morris Cook, b. 1810?)
Bet 40-49: One (born bet 1781-1790)
Free White Females
Under age 5-One (Mary Ann Cook, b. 1824?)
Bet. 10 and 14-One (Nancy Cook, b. 1814, too old???)
Bet. 30-39 (born bet. 1791 and 1900, Nancy too old???)
