  3. This profile is the same as Cooke-1895 on Wikitree: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Cooke-1895 Their cleanup efforts are: Remove Mordecai Cooke-585 and Susannah Thresher-16 as the parents of John Cook-1895. The Cooke/Cook family of Rappahannock & Essex counties and the Cooke family of Gloucester County are two different families. There is no evidence that John Cook-1895 is the son of Mordecai Cook I.
