Granberry Morris Cook

1807 - Aft 1854  (47 years)

• Name	Granberry Morris Cook  [1, 2]
  Birth	27 May 1807	Georgia   [1, 2]
  Gender	Male
  Death	Aft 1854
  Notes	At the time of the 1850 Sabine Parish census, [the elderly] Green and Nancy were living next door to 43 year old [Granberry] 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). Not listed as a minor child of William Cook in the petition of his widow, Temperance Cook Morris. He may have already reached the age of majority, or might not be a son of William and Temperance, either. Polly Cook Williams, in a Post-em note to Barbara Yancey Dore's "Southeast Texas Gedcom" on Rootsweb, noted that: If you will notice Residence 258 of the 1860 Sabine Parish Census, you will see the name of of L.P. Ederington and his wife Francis. This Francis("Fannie") Ederington(she was my great grandmother) was the widow of Granberry Cook (they are listed next door to each other in the 1850 census, when Granberry Cook was still living). Underneath them are listed the names: 1) Shadrack 2) Esmorelda 3) Charles 4) James G. All of the above children are COOKS and not Ederington/Edrington and the name of James G. (which is James Grandberry) is not included as the 5th child of Granberry and Francis Cook. They are always listed as having 4 children. He is my great-grandfather and I would love it if you would add him as the last child of Granberry and Francis Cook. (Research):..The U.S. General Land Office Records, 1796-1907 on Ancestry.com show that Granberry Morris Cook was issued 40 acres of land in Sabine Parish, Louisiana (Twp 5-N, Range 13-W, Section 10) on 1 September 1846.
