Mathias Cook

Added from Family Tree compiled by Priscilla Buchanan [given to me 3/21/2012]

From FindAGrave.com:

Mathias was my 4th great grandfather and I continue to search for the cemetery where he is buried. If anyone locates it, please contact me and I will add to this memorial.

Mathias was the son of Elizabeth and Nicholas Cook, Jr. He married Mary R. Friesland in Cabarrus Co., NC on 7-20-1802. Together they had 3 known children

Mathias's second wife was Elizabeth Pence. They were married in Cabarrus, NC on 8-28-1821. No known children.

Mathias's third wife was Elizabeth Keller. They married on 11-2-1829 in Rowan Co. NC

Family links:

Spouse:   Mary R. Friesland Cook (1786 - 1819)*

• Children:
• Nicholas Cook (1805 - 1869)* [as per FindAGrave, these 3 sons were the sons of Mathia's 1st wife, but as per the family tree that I received, Nicholas Cook was the son of Mathia's 2nd wife Elizabeth Pence]
• John Franklin Cook (1806 - 1870)*
• Joseph Cook (1810 - 1897)*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Email from Brady Wooten Kerr dated 3/22/2012: From all the research I have done what you are saying cannot be possible. Nicholas-son of Mathias was born 11-7-1805 when Mathias was still married to Mary R. Friesland. She did not die until 1819 and he did not marry Elizabeth Pence until 1821. So Elizabeth cannot be your brother-in-law's 5th great grandmother. It has to be Mary Friesland.
