Thoughts to investigate further - John Taylor Cook and Susie Lou Jackson
New info researched for an email to Phil Roberts : Native Americans may be a part of the Cook line starting with James Columbus Cook's mother– Susie Lou Jackson (John Taylor Cook's wife). I have had a dead end on only that line. But looking up the name Susie Lou Jackson, I find many of them and about 80% of them were Indian, from the Oklahoma Indian Territories as it was a name used repetitively for whatever reason there. She is listed as being born in about 1848 - Arcadia, Bienville Parish, Louisiana – less than 120 miles from Oklahoma. They were married 15 Nov, 1886 in Claiborne, LA (43 miles east 38 years later). However, she (they) lived in Nevada, Colin County Tx in 1800 and they had 6 children between 1868 and 1879 – the first three, Including my grandfather James Columbus Cook (your Great-Great Grandfather) were born in Claiborne, Louisiana in 1868, 1869 and 1872. Conclu sion: They weren't married through the birth of the six children (another thing that points to Native American for Susie Lou) – had the first three living where they were married later in Claiborne, LA – then moved to Nevada, Colin County, Texas in 1880, had the other three children there, and then went back to Claiborne, Louisiana to be married 15 Nov, 1886. They then returned to Nevada, Tx where she died 16 Oct, 1893. He remarried, probably in later years after 1900 to Emma Cook and moved to Putnam, where James Columbus Cook, his son, probably met and married Mary Cordelia Pollock. John Taylor Cook died in Putnam, Texas 11 Feb, 1932.
