Joleen:
The W. C. Cook that you refer to in the 2nd paragraph of your inquiry was actually named William K. Cook.He is reported as born about 1827 in North Carolina, according to the 1880 Lancaster County, SC census.His full name was William Kelley Cook.He died June 1896 in Lancaster County, SC according to "Widow's application for SC Civil War Pension":
The Sarah Cook that you refer to was Sarah Jane McKibben before she married William.She was born 9/21/1841 near Osceola, Lancaster County, SC, according to the same document listed above.She died 1/7/1926 in York County, SC, probably Fort Mill, according to the SC Death Index, 1915-1949.At the time of her death she evidently lived in the household of her bachelor son, John J. Cook.
The Mary Cook that you refer to was Mary Jane Cook, William's first born.She was born 12/31/1857 in Lancaster County, SC and died 11/21/1939 in Artesia, Eddie County, NM.Her birth and death dates are taken from her death certificate.She married William Franklin Allen, according to family records, 12/26/1888 in Lancaster County, SC.
This is more information that you are probably interested in but I am researching this family of Cooks with no success about the parentage of William Kelley Cook.Maybe someone will be able to share information about this particular family.
Regards,
William H. Allen
