Delilah Dinwiddie, fl.1840s, nr WV
I'm wondering if anybody might have any information on a Delilah Dinwiddie (variant spellings as ornate as Deliay Dinwadie are sometimes attributed to her) from the vague West Virginia area (or PA or thereabouts), born in the 1820s and married to Churchill Cook (c1822-c1865) with whom she moved west to the Chicago area. (Churchill was his middle name; his first name was either John or Lucius, depending who you ask.) If anybody's got any information on these slippery persons I'd dearly like to know -- they're some of the most apparently 'mythical' parts of my ancestry!
All the best
