Children (Family)
Jackson Cook, born abt 1838, IndianaWilliam Cook, born abt 1841, Indiana
Elvira Cook, born abt 1845, Indiana
Jacob Cook, born abt 1847, Indiana
My reasons for the children assigned to the various mothers:
1. I first found the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 US Census records
2. I knew that Levi and Martha were married in 1849 but according to the 1850 census there were 4 children who had been born prior to that census so I had to assume that there had been a previous wife
3. Since Martha died in 1852 the only child that could have belonged to Martha was Luther born Apr 1850
4. In the 1860, 1870, and 1880 Census a Mary J. appeared as the wife. I found the marriage record for Levi and Mary Jane White
5. The children born after 1852 must belong to Mary Jane.
6. I finally found the marriage record for Levi and Phebe Jackson in 1836
