One of the sons of this Kentucky Crook, Thomas Crook, married a daughter of Uncle Jerry Crook, whose name was Eveline. It was not thought that they were kin and if they were, it was very remote. In my young days I was often in the home of Cousin Tom and Eveline Crook. Their son Jerry, and daughter Mary, were near my age, as well as their entire family were strong friends. One of Cousin Tom Crook's brothers went to Lamar county, Texas, and one of his sons served as sheriff of that county.
