After serving in the War of 1812, Daniel Cook, Jr. returned home to Chesterfield County, South Carolina. Some say his father Daniel Cook, Sr. died in 1812 but no known proof of his death has been found as of today. His mother, Ruth Moultrie Cook was still living as was 5 sisters and 6 brothers.
By October 1816, Joseph Moultrie Cook was in Trigg County, Kentucky where he married Martha “Patsy” Lindsey on 9 October 1816. It was about this time that the entire Cook Family decided to leave Chesterfield County and make their way to Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky.
Alice “Allie” Cook, the older daughter and husband Samuel Sellers migrated to Wilcox County, Alabama.
Joseph Moultrie Cook, the oldest son, settled in Hinds County, Mississippi
James Cook, Unknown
Margaret Cook and husband Holden Barrett migrated with Ruth Moultrie Cook (her Mother) to Kentucky. Ruth Cook died about 1830 and Holden Barrett about 1832. No confirmed death dates found. Margaret then moved to Franklin County, Alabama.
Mary Susan Cook and husband Blount Alsobrook migrated with Ruth Moultrie Cook (her Mother) to Kentucky. After the death of Ruth Cook, (the mother of Susan Alsobrook) Susan and her husband Blount moved to Colbert County, Alabama.
John Cook moved with his Mother to Kentucky. There he married Ann Witty on 29 November 1817 in Christian County, Kentucky. No other information found.
Levisa Cook, moved with her Mother to Kentucky. There she married Isaac Futrell on 21 April 1824 in Christian County, Kentucky.
Tabitha Cook, moved with her Mother to Kentucky. There she married James Lindsay on 18 October 1819 in Christian County, Kentucky.
William Ervin Cook, moved with his Mother to Kentucky. There in April 1840 he married Levisa Downs. They settled down in Calloway County, Kentucky.
Abraham Mastin Cook, their youngest, was born 26 April 1812. He married Eliza Pressly of Abbeville South Carolina on 20 May 1846. Abraham and Eliza settled in Wilcox County, Alabama.
James Council Cook, borne 17 Apr 1792; died 18 October 1864. Married Elizabeth Condict abt 1816. They settled in Autauga County, AL and Itawamba, Mississippi.
While most of the children including the spouses of those married stayed with Ruth Moultrie Cook in her migration to the Cumberland Gap area; others decided to moved elsewhere. Among those was her 2nd oldest son, Daniel Cook, Jr.
Daniel Cook, Jr. married Martha Warren Norwood of Darlington County, South Carolina on 28 January 1818. After the birth of several children they made their migration southward and westward to Georgia and eventually settling in Wilcox County, Alabama. We know they were there in 1834 when their son, Daniel Justin Cook passed away at the age of thirteen months. Martha Warren Norwood Cook died 17 June 1840.
Daniel Jr., after loss of his wife Martha, married Caroline McMillan widow of Rev. Murdock Murphy on 19 September 1843 in Clarke County, Alabama.
Daniel Sr and Daniel Cook, Jr. were land owners in both Chesterfield County, South Carolina and Anson County, North Carolina.No extant Land Deeds for Chesterfield County, South Carolina exists for either man. Nor have I found any in Anson County, North Carolina that exists for Daniel Sr. if you believe he died abt 1812.
However, there are two Land Deeds executed by Daniel Cook that exist in Anson County. One is a Land Deed from Daniel Cook to Thomas Barrett. Remember from above that Holden Barrett married Daniel Cook’s sister Margaret so there may be a connection here.
