I am trying to locate information concerning ancesters of Louisa Cook. She is shown on the 1850 Tn. I don't have the county. Cook, Wm. 72 , Mary 64 , Elvira 36, Louiza 27. Then in all caps. JOHN GEORGE 18. She later married John Anderson George.
Dates for Louisa are: Born - December 29, 1823 in Jefferson Co., Tn. Died - February 14, 1866. It has always been said that Louisa was Cherokee. Not sure if full blood, and that her parents owned extensive land. We have always been told that Louisa was a 'crippled girl' (don't know in what way) and that John A. George was their gardner and that parents strongly objected to the marriage. After we found the census, we discovered that she was also quite a bit older which may have been the problem as well.
She had two children: Mary Ann Eveline George - b.April 17, 1855 in Butler Co. Ky (we think Bowling Green), d. January 24, 1937, Booneville, Ar. AND Isaac Alonzo George - b. April 04, 1858 in Ky. d. April 08, 1939 in Oronogo,Jasper Co.Mo.--Nashville,Mo. Cem.
Mary Ann is my ggrandmother who married John Thomas Finney in August 25, 1870, Cassville, Barry Co. Mo.
