Hello cousin Gina,
I got Elizabeth Root mixed up with Elizabeth Emma Cook, Dr. Cook's second husband was C. H. Gillette. Thanks for correcting me. J. B. Speers and Dr. Elizabeth Emma Cook Speers had 3 children:
Isaac Cook born March 15, 1867 died 1929,
James Morton born March 30, 1871 died April 14, 1896 died of Typhoid Fever and is buried in Riverside Cemetery in Marshalltown, IA, and
Charles William Speers born 1875 died Jan 8, 1893 in Chicago. He was a Druggist who died of an overdose of Morphine. He is also buried at Riverside.
Note: it looks like Isaac Cook and Elizabeth Root had a son also named James Morton Speers born April 16, 1897 a year after Isaac's brother James Morton Speers died in 1896.
My cousin Mike Speers may have pictures of the tombstone at Riverside that he took last year when we were out in Iowa to a Frye family Reunion.
Elizabeth Cook's parents were James Crawford Cook died 1858 and Margaret Lowry Smith died 1849 - 7 months after Elizabeth Cook was born.!.
Elizabeth's grandfather was James Cook, gm ? (I don't know)
Her ggf was Col Edward Cook b 1738 or 1741 d 1808 or 1812. There is some confusion in an article about the dates; and, ggm was Margaret Crawford 1743 - 1837. Both gg parents are buried at Rehobeth Cemetery in Belle Vernon, PA along the road to the original Cook Plantation. Col Edward Cook founded Cooksville that is now Fayette City. It also was called Freeport before that. It is a few miles upriver from Belle Vernon.
Col. Edward Cook was twice visited by George Washington - about 1780 or 1790.
Our last name is spelled 4 different ways. Three of them show up in Belle Vernon and the fourth now appears in OK.
