What surnames you are researching?	Clay
Where are you from?	Atlanta, GA
Comments:	I am searching for information on my grandfather, James Monroe Clay. He was born in Georgia 1885-1888. He was listed on the 1920 Fulton County Georgia census with my grandmother, my father and his two sisters. I don't know anything about him, his parents or siblings. He left when my father was very young. I keep hoping to find someone who knows something about Clays that came to Georgia that might lead to his ancestors and him.

What is the URL of your genealogy related web site?	http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wingrove/
Comments:	A large portion of WINGROVE ancestry had its roots in WV. At one time Wingrove existed near Mt Hope, WV likely connected with the Wingrove mine in that area. I have found some cemetery sites with these ancestors that actually represent two different lines - one from England the other Ireland. Looking for any present day Wingrove families to help in developing a better history of the Wingroves in this state. Michael wingrove@canada.com

Comments:	I found a note in family records that the Cooks who settled in Oceana, WV are my ancestors. My grandfather, Rollie R. Cook was born ca.1883 in Jasonville, Indiana. There is a tradition that his father or grandfather came from Ohio and was a Civil War veteran and that this person was of the family found in Oceana. Does anyone know of a branch of the WV family that moved to Ohio before the Civil War?

Where are you from?	Mullens, West Virginia
Comments:	My name is Candace Elena Cook. I was born and raised in Mullens, West Virginia. John Cooke was my 5th or 6th great grandfather. My grandfather was Raymond Cook of Basin, West Virginia. He died in 1995 on February 15. He lived his entire life in Wyoming county and was a retired coal miner. His father was Neal Cook, and mother was Augusta Cook (who was from Baileysville). If I remember correct, I believe Neal Cook's father was Joesph Cook. I was just doing research for a class assignment when I came upon this page. I have read the book on the genealogy of the John Cooke family in Wyoming County. The book provided me with lots of information on where my family came from. I love to tell the story of how John Cook came over from England. This web site is excellent, it made me very proud to be a Cook from Wyoming county! Thanks for creating it. I especially loved the poem. Feel free to email me if you wish. Sincerely, Candace Cook

Comments:	I stumbled on your site in search of a connection between my grandfather George who was an illegitimate Stewart, his parents were Henry Stewart and Elizabeth Cooke Coon b. 1853. George Stewart was a lawman in WV around 1900, he married Martha Cook b. Nov 11, 1888, daughter of Ulysses Cook. They lived in the area known as Naoma WV. Many of the Cook family are buried in a graveyard there. Elizabeth Cooke Coon married Adam Coon. I was given these names by a cousin of my grandmothers 12 years ago. Lately I have had help from many other researchers leading me in the right direction. Elizabeth Cook may have been the daughter of Floyd Cooke son of William and Catherine Stewart. Henry Stewart is still a mystrey and I would appreciate any thing you might know regarding my Grandfather's father's family. Through Elizabeth Cooke I believe I am connected to this family, and your web site has answered many questions I have concerning her ancestors and their arrival here. Thank you for hard work in researching the family and sharing it with all of us who are still searching.
