While I have nothing on your Merida Cornelius Cook, I note the similarity in the name Merida Cook, to a son of THOMAS J. COOK and his wife, REBECCA E. HOWE. Thomas and Rebecca named a son MERIDAH A. COOK. This Meridah was b: 03 Oct 1851 in Pike Co., GA and d: 03 Dec 1922 in Jackson Co., AL. He married MARY M. TAYLOR in 1874 in Pike Co., GA.
Although this is obviously a different person, I find the name unusual enough to think there may be a connection somewhere to the Pike Co., GA BENJAMIN F. COOK line. As far as I can tell, the only Cook from this line who named a son MERIDAH was THOMAS J. COOK.
I don't know if this will be of any help to you, but it may be a place for you to begin looking.
