I am just writing to you on a hunch, I have a John Cook in my lineage. I dont know a middle name, but I do know he was born in Rockingham Va. abt 1820. I can account for him up until 1862 in VA. His wife Martha died in childbirth in 1862. After that he and his family dissapear from census records. His

Dicken intrigued him and others, partly because of the baptism in Hebron
Church of Rhoda, the child of Benjamin and Rosina Dickons. There was then
some discussion on the list, including a question as to whether the name
might be German in origin (possibly anglicized from "Thiecken").
John stated that Rosina or Rosanna, wife of Benjamin Dickon, was the
daughter of (John) Adam Gaar.

Dear Thom, considering the dubious role Alexander Spotswood played and the
non-role of John Spotswood, I have been wondering why the memorial garden
arranges the slabs honoring German immigrants around the center piece [John
Spotswood] as if the Germans were dancing around the governor's son, or as
sycophants to an English idol that never existed for them. From what I read,
they did not circle around the English or the Scottish family -- they
scattered as soon as they could (Many did DID circle around

Hi,
Most of us "privatize" our data so ONLY names appear on living persons.
Additionally, many financial companies permit use of an identifier other

1. You have amassed a wealth of material on Alexander Spottswood.
Scoundrel that he was, he deserves his own book and I hope you'll consider
consolidating your notes abut him into a publications. I'll be the first to
say I would buy it.
2. Larkin Chew....he was an incredible wheeler-dealer in real estate in
both Virginia and Maryland, and it is no surprise that he and Spottswood
were at odds.

This is not the only Rootsweb list that is having that problem. I belong to
the Clay Co. Indiana List and there was an answer about a picture from 1800's
of the main street of Brazil. I know I never saw that subject.
Thanks for explaining.

Thank you, John,
for your detailed explanation of the calendar change from Old Style to New
Style. I had a vague idea of the facts but you certainly clarified it for
me. Thanks again.
Question:
When they skipped the ten dates did they also skip ten days? ...i.e., was the
last day of O.S., say, Tuesday, and the first
day of N.S. therefore a Wednesday? ...or was it Saturday?
