General Notes: Husband - James Cooke

---

He was reared to manhood in his native county, and served as a commissioned officer in the Revolution, and about 1785 came to Washington County, Pennsylvania. He purchased a tract of 649 acres in Smith township, situated about three and one-half miles south of Burgettstown, where he erected a rude cabin, and began to cultivate the virgin soil.

He was an officer in the Revolutionary war, and soon after the close of that struggle came to Cross Creek township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he purchased a large tract of land and passed the rest of his days.
