2. | ![]() Notes: Isaac Cook appears to have first purchased 150 acres on May 6, 1766 in Berkley Co. on the north side of the Saludy River. (C-947) He next purchased land from Daniel Mote on October 19, 1774 in Beaverdam Creek in the Fork of the Broad and Saluda Rivers. (C-894) He sold 4 acres of land to (Big) John Coate on Beaverdam in a branch of the Saluda River on Feb. 11, 1788. Isaac married Charity WRIGHT, Minister about 1763 in , Newberry, SC, USA. Charity (daughter of John C. WRIGHT, * and Rachel WELLS, Minister) was born on 13 Nov 1742 in , Prince George, MD, USA; died on 13 Nov 1822 in , Warren, OH, USA; was buried about 16 Nov 1822 in Warren, Trumball, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
3. | ![]() Notes: I have used the birth date for Charity from her biography, CHARITY WRIGHT COOK, A LIBERATED WOMEN. Hinshaw gives the birth date of 11-13-1742, a day after her sister Margarets. This has been decided to be in error by her biographer. She was disowned by the Cane Creek MM, NC on 1761,2,7 for engaging in carnal behavior. She was reinstated into the Quaker church as an adult (after the boy that had accused her starting accusing many women and was basically caught lying). She became a well-loved Quaker minister who traveled much of each year in the colonies and in Europe during the Revolutions in both, to serve the Quakers. She seemed to stay home long enough to have each child, and then travel on while her husband cared for the family. She apparently had cousins who were Rothchilds in England, whom she probably visited while in Europe. Many incidents of her life are recalled in her biography. One from a family reunion provided by descendant, Bob Henry, tells of a crossing of Kaben Creek. The water apparently drowned two horses. Isaac saved himself by riding a "chunk of wood" while Charity made it across by swimming. There is discrepancy in her death date. CD-102 differs in her death date, stating it was 13 Nov. 1820 and occurred in Clinton Co., Ohio (C-517) I have again chosen the well researched biography's death date for her.

4. | ![]() Notes: Thomas came to Pennsylvania, supposedly from Cheshire Co., England, in c1713 with his 6 brothers and sisters and parents. He would have been approximately 9 years of age at the time. He had a twin named Abraham. Thomas married Mary Underwood at the Warrington Monthly Meeting in 1731. He lived in multiple places in Chester Co., Pa with his family as a child and moved to nearby York Co. about 1730 during his early marriage. He and his brother Peter donated money to buy the land for the Warrington Monthly Meeting to the Menallen Monthly Meeting. Warrington is nine miles Southwest of Newberry. (C-429) After his death in 1752, some of his children, including Isaac got a certificate of removal from Warrington Monthly Meeting, PA to move to Cane Creek Monthly Meeting, North Carolina on 7-20-1754. (C-229) Family members then moved to South Carolina at an even later date. (C-200, p.87) (C-250, p.35-36) (C-556, p. 87) Thomas married Mary UNDERWOOD, * on 28 Sep 1731 in London Grove, Chester, PA, USA. Mary (daughter of Alexander UNDERWOOD and Jane HARRY) was born about 1710 in , Chester, PA, USA; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
5. | ![]() Notes: Mary married Thomas Cook, a Quaker, when it appears Mary's family was not considered Quaker. The London Grove MM complained of marriage to Thomas Cook as out of unity. Thomas appeared with apologies which were accepted on the 10mo. 1730. (C-437) Mary and her children removed to Cane Creek, NC after her first husband died on certificate dated 7-20-1754. She next married Joseph Wells of Cane Creek. (C-437)

6. | ![]() Notes: Much information can be gleaned about this family from a book by Algie I. Newlin entitled CHARITY COOK, A LIBERATED WOMAN, (Friends United Press, 1981). It is a biography of their daughter, Charity Cook, written and researched by a history professor. John married Rachel WELLS, Minister about 1737 in Hopewell M.M., Frederick, VA, USA. Rachel (daughter of Joseph WELLS and Rachel MARSH) was born on 3 May 1720 in All Hallows Parish, Anne Arundel, MD, USA; was christened on 12 Jul 1721 in Davidsonville, Anne Arundel, MD, US; died on 23 Dec 1771 in Bush River, Newberry County, South Carolina, USA; was buried in Newberry, Newberry County, South Carolina, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
7. | ![]() Notes: CD-100 says that Rachel's mother is named Rachel. This apparently comes from a Quaker baptismal record dated 12 July 1721 at All Hallow's, listing her father as Joseph Wells and his wife Rachel. In the Southern Friend, V. XVI, 1994, Richard Kelly states that the entry in the All Hallow's book was in error and they simply repeated daughter Rachel's name by accident. He also finds error with the date of birth listed for her in Quaker records as occurring on 3(May)/27/1720. This would have been before Joseph and Margaret were married. (C-575)

8. | Peter COOK was born in 1674 in , Cheshire, ENG (son of Unknown COOK); died on 3 Jan 1713 in Atlantic Ocean; was buried in Jan 1713 in Atlantic Ocean. Notes: After Peter Cook and Elinor Norman were married in Newton Meeting, Cheshire, England on Dec. 7, 1695, they had 9 children. Loss of family members was endured by this couple. Two children died in England. Emigrating to Pennsylvania in early 1713 brought the death of Peter Cook who was lost at sea and the youngest children died in Philadelphia soon after their arrival. (C-250, p.35, 1561) Peter married Eleanor NORMAN on 7 Dec 1695 in Newton M.M., Cheshire, ENG. Eleanor (daughter of Johannes (John) NORMAN and Maria (Mary) WORRAL) was born about 1670 in Kingsley, Ab Kettleby, Leicestershire, England; died after 31 Oct 1759. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
9. | Eleanor NORMAN was born about 1670 in Kingsley, Ab Kettleby, Leicestershire, England (daughter of Johannes (John) NORMAN and Maria (Mary) WORRAL); died after 31 Oct 1759. Notes: Elinor Cook appears to have been a witness to several marriages in Chester Co., Pennsylvania An Elinor Cook witnessed the marriage of William Brown and Susanna Churchman onn 2/11/1728 in Nottingham. The other marriages she witnessed occurred in Londongrove Monthly Meeting of Edward Tatnall and Elizabeth Pennock on 4/11/1735; of Willliam Ails and Elizabeth Underwood (d. of Alexander) on 8/18/1738; of Moses Pyle and Mary Cooke (d. of John Cooke) on 10/9/1741; of Stephen Ailes and Ann Underwood (d. of Alexander) on 9/3/1742; of William Underwood (s.of Alexander) and Ruth Bails on 1/2/1742/1743; of Thomas Collins and Sarah Johnson on 12/10/1755; of Thomas Dennis and Elizabeth Webb on 6/15/1757 at Londongrove; of Thos. Harlan and Mary Baily on 10/12/1757; and of John Wilson and Dinah Cook (d. of Isaac Cook) on 10/31/1759. If all of these apply to her, she lived a very long life. All the records after 1730, would not apply to her married daughter Eleanor. It also fits her in that she is never listed with her husand who died relatively early in their marriage. Her first name was spelled many different ways, Elinor, Ellinor, Eleanor with her surname being spelled Cook and Cooke. She is possibly the daughter of Johannes Norman and Maria Worral. (C-2025)

10. | Alexander UNDERWOOD was born about 1688 in , Anne Arundel, MD (son of Samuel UNDERWOOD and Mary Ann WILCOX); died on 31 Oct 1767 in Warrington Twp., York, PA; was buried on 2 Nov 1767 in Warrington M.M., Warrington Twp., York, PA, USA. Notes: Alexander Underwood, born in Maryland, settled in London Grove, (Warrington MM), Chester Co., PA in 1722, multiple years after his marriage to Jane Harry. He had the land in London Grove Twp. surveyed in 1720. He obtained a deed for the land in 1722 after his father's death. He was a witness to multiple marriages in the Chester Co., PA region, in 1728 at a Nottingham marriage, in 1731, 1734, 1735 and 1738 in London Grove MM, and lastly in 1734 in New Garden MM. (C-942) Alexander married Jane HARRY about 1710 in , New Castle, DE, USA. Jane (daughter of Hugh HARRY and Elizabeth BRINTON) was born about 1687 in Chichester, Chester, PA, USA; died before 25 Apr 1743 in London Grove, Chester, PA, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
11. | Jane HARRY was born about 1687 in Chichester, Chester, PA, USA (daughter of Hugh HARRY and Elizabeth BRINTON); died before 25 Apr 1743 in London Grove, Chester, PA, USA. Notes: In the Automated Archives disk 102, Jane's maiden name was listed as Harry. The vital statistics for Jane Harry are still not clear. The Mormon IGI files state she was born around 1692 of Anne Arundel, Maryland. (C-521) Another I.G.I source lists her from York, Pennsylvania (C-522) I chose the third I.G.I. file that was closest to the Hugh Harry, Elizabeth Brinton book but more specific, b. 1687, Chester Co., Pennsylvania (C-528) The reason for all of these birth places can be guessed at. The book "Charity Wright Cook, a Liberated Women" states that the Underwood, Cook and Wright families all moved often between monthly meetings in the Chester Co., PA area. All the above guesses which is what I think they are, are simply places her family all lived.

12. | ![]() Notes: It is not known with any certainty whom James Wright's father is. The group I think he is in is haplogroup I-M253, group 1 at the Wright YDNA group. That is a guestimate and not proven. James married Mary BOWATER or DAVIS, * on 26 Feb 1707 in East Nottingham, Chester, PA, USA. Mary (daughter of John BOWATER, * and Mary MAUNDER) was born on 2 Dec 1689 in London, City of London, Greater London, England; died before 6 Mar 1764 in , Frederick, Virginia, USA; was buried before 6 Mar 1764 in Clear Brook, Frederick County, Virginia, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
13. | ![]() Notes: We now know with certainty that Mary was a Bowater and not a Davis by maiden name. The often printed theory and incongruous lineage that she was Mary Davis in as reputable a source as Farmer, has now effectively been disproven by Stewart Baldwin in "The American Genealogist", July/Oct. 1997 issue. She was a Bowater based on multiple pieces of evidence. Mary Wright's birth date is listed in Feb. 12, 1689 in Hopewell Quaker records. This is off by a 10 days from being Mary Bowater's actual birth date in English records if the 1689 date is interpreted as 1688/1689.

14. | Joseph WELLS was born on 30 Sep 1697 in Queen Anne's Parish, Prince George's, MD (son of Thomas Duckett WELLS and Frances SMITH); died on 27 May 1758 in Cane Creek, Orange, North Carolina, United States. Notes: Joseph apparently had a twin sister named Sarah. Joseph Wells was living in Anne Arundel Co., MD. on Dec. 8, 1726. He paid taxes on the Mattapony Hundred of Prince George's Co. (now Frederick Co., MD). He had moved to the Monocacy Valley in west Prince George's Co. by 1742. His name is on a petition that sought the establishment of All Saints Parish from Prince George's Co in 1742. He bought land named "Boyling Springs", which was forty acres surveyed June 12, 1743. In November of that year, he was made constable of the Monocacy Hundred. He had 2 known wives and possibly 3. Rachel is the wife in question. She is only listed in one place as the mother of his daughter Rachel. There is a fairly strong theory out there that Rachel was simply a repetitive error on the person in the Quaker records later listing her as Rachel's mother in a Quaker record written after Joseph had become a Quaker. His wife Margaret was received in membership on 11/29/1745 and he on 2/29/1746. Joseph married Rachel MARSH in 1719 in MarylandD USA. Rachel (daughter of Thomas MARSH and Mary TRUMBULL) was born in in Hatfield, Hampshire, Massachusetts, USA; was christened on 7 Jan 1825 in Tottington, Lancashire, England; died after 1721 in Westminster Parish, Ann Arundel, MD, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
15. | Rachel MARSH was born in in Hatfield, Hampshire, Massachusetts, USA; was christened on 7 Jan 1825 in Tottington, Lancashire, England (daughter of Thomas MARSH and Mary TRUMBULL); died after 1721 in Westminster Parish, Ann Arundel, MD, USA. Notes: It is not known with any certainty if this Rachel ever was real or a wife of Joseph. The only evidence we have is a christening record made after the fact listing Joseph's daughter, Rachel's christening that lists her mother as Rachel. There have been no records found of any marriage between a Joseph and a Rachel and his daughter is listed as the daughter of Joseph and Margaret Wells in her marriage record.
