Jno. Cook (formerly John Burnett) searching for mother Pennela, sister Elizabeth and mother's sons
DEAR EDITOR ---- I was born ten miles northeast of Mayville, Ky , on Mrs. Margaret Cook's plantation. My mother's name was Pennela in White. She had three sons who went to St. Louis, John, Alvin, Aaron, Charlie, Oliver and James Henson. They went to St. Louis with Henry Duval. At that time I was going by the name of John Burnett. I was sold to a speculator by the name of James McMullen, and I was brought South by the same man. I had a sister by the name of Elizabeth, who married a man by the name of Henry Gine. Any one that can inform me of the above relatives will please address the Rev. A. D. Green or the writer. JNO. COOK. Kosciusko, Miss.
