One of the big mysteries and unanswered questions in my genealogical database is ~When did Ruth Moultrie Cook pass away? What is her death date?
No Obituary, tombstone or death notice has been found for Ruth Cook. She appeared in the following Tax lists for Trigg County, Kentucky – 1820, 1821, 1826, 1827, 1828, 1829 and 1830.
The 1830 Tax List (shown here) is the last entry I have found for Ruth Cook. She is definitely not listed in the 1831 tax list. Every page has been checked and there is no entry for Ruth Cook.
Speculation varies as to when she passed away. Some say she died in 1829; others say she died in 1830. I have seen no specific date for her death.
Her FindAGrave memorial says she died in 1829. The memorial implied that a tombstone exits but no tombstone is attached to the memorial.
If you have any information about the death of Ruth Moultrie Cook I would love to hear from you.
Ruth Moultrie Cook is my 5th Great Grand Aunt.
