Notes

"Jacob cook was a slaveholder till he left N.J. when he freed his slaves"

Reason This Information Is Correct:

One of his slaves, Rachel by name, refused to accept her freedom but stayed with him 35 years till his death, for which service he willed her $30." --I am actually not sure how much of that is correct in looking at a transcript of the will a few pages further, it appear that maybe the author got confused? Rachel cook was his son Abel cook's daughter and received $30 in the will.

the records Mary Jane Brown (5 September 1834 ? 19 December 1914 ? KH16-JB3) sent him were much more complete than any others he had received.
She sent him as much as she could about her grandmother Brown's descendants, as well as a vast amount of far back Cook records. as well as much other cook and Brown records,
the editors note at the beginning says the information the 1st 4 generations is less reliable, but it is a treasure trove of information regarding people who were contemporaries of the author.
