Another David T W Cook sighting





Went looking thru the land deeds for Franklin Co NC at FamilySearch.  I focused on the ones covering 1800-1825 for the most part.  Found more of David T W Cook's paper trail

In Franklin Co NC Deed Book 16 pg 211 there is an entry which is indexed as David Cook and Joseph Cook and their wives to Benj L Rainey. Looking at the document you can see it contains corrections using editing marks that show the surnames as Crook. The wives names are Rebecca and Eliza which doesn't come remotely close to being the names of either Joseph or David's wives(which were Tamor and Lydia.)
