Sorry, I don't find any Mindwell Cook in the Jacobus volumes which fit your time frame. Nor do I have the resources you mentioned. You'll probably need to go to a good genealogy library for those. Also, check the LDS library online catelog. They may have them on microfilm or microform. If so, your local LDS library can order them for you for a nominal charge. The libraries are quite generous about the length of time they can be held at the local library for you to use. Some LDS libraries retain the microfilms ordered for use in that library. Once you have the call # info from the online catalog, visit your local LDS library and check the microfilm files there for those call #s before ordering them.
One other comment: take care with the Barbour collection. Remember that the records were extracted from primary records for the collection by WPA workers. There are numerous mistakes as many people doing the work didn't take care to be accurate in transcribing them. These are not considered primary records. What you find there should be verified by other sources: perhaps TAG and/or Register of NEHGS as those publications require well researched work with primary documentation whenever possible. In cases where the records have not been found, they expect a well reasoned explanation as to how the author arrived at the conclusion.
And in genealogy, things are never complete. Folks are always finding something long buried or filed in a dusty storage area in a library or courthouse which has not been examined in decades.
Sorry I can't be more help but hope these suggestions will be helpful.
